/ General Manager M. G. stratton of the Shore Line Electric Railway conn- pany, in g statement issued Thursday evening, said that unless a car Of coal arrives at the Thamesvllle power sta : tion Friday, service over the New London division will have to be sus- pended Friday night as the power sta ton will be entirely without coal plant to run the cars up to Friday noon. Thursday the Shore Line off- cials succeeded in borrowing a car of coal, which will be sufficient to keep the power station in op- eration until Friday night. The lines affected, if service has to be suspend ed, will be the local lines, New Lon- don. Willimantic and Central Village lines.
 At the Hailville and Mystic power stations there is enough coal, to keep the Westerly and Groton and Ston- lngton lines in operation until Sun day. The Saybrook power station has just enough coal on hand to last until Friday night.
 Big Traffic Reduction.

 In view of the seriousness of the coal situation and the probability of a shut down in the next day or so.

RHEUMATISM
Physician Believes Genuine Remedy
 for the Disease Has Been Found,

Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism remedy sold by Lee & Osgood Go. and all good druggists, gives quicker and more lasting relief than other rmedies costing many times as much.
 Rheuma passes the deadly poisonous secretions into the bowels and kidneys, from which they are quickly thrown off in a natural, healthy way. Read what a reputable physician says about Rheuma: q have made a most careful investigation of the for mula employed in the manufacture of Rheuma, and heartily recommend it as a remedy for all forms of rheuma- tism. I find Rheuma far in advance of the methods generally employed in the treatment of rheumatism, and al- | together different in composition from the remedies usually prescribed. ."-Dr M. c. Lyons.
 This should give any sufferer from I rheumatism confidence to try Rheuma
