Interstate Streams.
Fresh problems arise when a river
rises in one state and pursues its
course through one or more other
states. There has resulted from this
condition many divergent, unrelated
and even conflicting laws and court
decisions, and variety of practices in
the various states, ranging from the
most stringent laws and attempts at
control to complete disregard of the
whole subject Were single state jur.
isdictions co.extensive with the prin.
cipal river systems of the country,
each state would have at least the op.
'portunity to work out its problems to
its own best interests Unfortunately
quite the reverse is true and most of
he important river systems of tae
country flow from one state into an.
other.
This situation Of divided jurisdiction
has been one of the most potent fac.
tors in the disregard OF the scientific
aspects of stream sanitation, leading
to the present unsatisfactory condition
of many of our streams. Side by side
with that too common civic inertia
which so often delays needed public
improvements, there has grown up The
feeling that I'm the case Of interstate
streams local effort is Of no avail
There being no medium of comwuui
cation and agreement between states
in such matters. a douothug policy
has m most cases prevailed. The in.
torstatc character of the larger
streams has in certain cases even
been made the excuse for cxcmpting
such rivers from the workings of
otherwise excellent systems of stream
control Upon the plea that these
rivers enter the state somewhat pol.

THINK TROLLEY COMPANY
 NEEDS TO INCREASE
Rhode Island State Officials Favor 1
 Charge of One Cent for Transfers.

In connection with remons strance that has been made to the Shore Line Electric Railway companyb increase in fares, it is Of interest to local peo- rle to learn how the Rhode Island state officials feel about the increase by the trolley company in that state.
 reduction in taxes assessed against the Rhode Island company property, the abolition of jitneys- and charge of one cent each for transfers, in ad- dition to other changes in operation methods says the Providence Evening Bulletin, are among the possible solu- tions of the railway situation here, ac- cording to the preliminary report of special legislative Investigating com mission.
 While the report does not specifically state that a six-cent fare is one of the primary solutions, experts who have studied the situation decare that such is the case, and feel that an increase in rate of that amount is necessary in order to allow the Rhode Island com pany to meet its expenses and operate successfully.
 The investigeti tion of the compsny, being made at the request of the com- pany itself, on the plea that some thing must be done to prevent it from going into bankruptcy. has been in progress for several months, and the commission, made up of Zenas w. Bliss (chairman), William c. Bliss and George H.

LIBERTY LOAN MERCURY
 GOING UP SL ONLY.
Over $e0o,o0o Must Be Subscribed in
 Norwich Vet.

The mercury in the Liberty loan thermometer is slowly, very slowly, creeping toward the bursting point, which Is $1 ,25O,000, but if it doesn't go up faster than it has in previous days the goal will never be reached. Up to the close of barking hours on Wednes- day the total amount subscribed to the Liberty loan was S346,150. with 655 subscribers. With only about seven more days left in which to raise the desired amount, the average amount to be raised per day Is well over $100, 900.
 If Norwich fails to secure her allot- ment of the loan 1t will be the first time since the war started that she has failed to meet any request of the government. Let us keep our city up to the standard and bust the top off that old thermometer on the square by subscribing for $903,S5O worth of the bonds which are to win this world war for democracy.
 Included in the parade which is to be held here on Liberty day (Wednes- day, Oct. 2D will be all the troops of the local Boy Scouts. It is expected that at least 100 scouts will march.

You don't know what upset your stomach-which portion of the food did the damage-do you? Well don't bother. If your stomach is ill q re- volt; if sick, gaSsy and upset, and what you just ate has fermented and turned sour; head dizzy and aches; belch gases and acids and eructate un- digested food; breath. foul, tongue coated-just take a little Pape's Dia- pepsin to neutralize acidity and in five minutes you wonder what became of the indigestion and distress.
 Millions of men and women today know that it is needless to have dys- i pepsia. A little Diapepsin occasionally keeps the stomach sweetened, and they eat their favorite foods without fear. i
 If your stomach doesn't take care of your liberal limit without rebellion: if [. your food is a damage instead of ar help. remember the quickest, surest. most harmless antacid is Pape's Dia- pepsin which costs only fifty cents for a large case at drug stores. It's truly wonderful-it stops food souring and } sets things straight, so gently and cas- i fly, that it is really astonishing. Your ? stomach will digest your meals if you keep acids neutralized.
