KEEP THE BOARD.

When the sugar equalization board suggested that it was about ready to wind up it's affairs it apparently start ed congress to thinking what would b. the result of such action under the existing conditions. and it is in keep ing with the present state of affairs that greater activity should be shown in getting through the legislation that is needed to continue the board and to give it the authority to lLIohase sugar ,vea thoug the delay has been costly.
 What the board has done in only one instance is shown by its report to the effect that it has through the margin of just a trifie over a third of cent a pound which it has received in turn ing over the sugar acquired to the re- liners piled up for the government the sum of Ss0. .o0O, 900. an amount which ii takes care to explain has not meant a higher price for the consumer but is only what would have been absorb ed by the growers, refiners or dealers had. the board not received it.
 With the board receiving thai amount from its small margin it car be appreciated what would be the pro- fits all along the line of the services ot the board should be dispensed with restrictions removed and prices be al lowed to go possibly to IS. 20. 25 or ? cents a pound. the latter figure sait

It is in Keeping with the times and removes that part of the state from the un- certain dependence which has hereto- fore been placed upon ferrvboats. When it Is realized that rather than experience the delays that many times are required in order to get ma chimes across the river at that point parties frequently make the trip to this city on one side of the river and down on the other it can be appre. ciated what it is going to mean to auto traffic along the Boston post road. But at this time the opening of the converted bridge is going to be to tra- vel from one side of the river to the other what the replacing of the rail road ferries with this same bridge was to railroad traffic along the shore line
 it will not do away with the mu- nicipal ferry. even though it serves tc cut into its receipts, for there will be those who will prefer to use the fer " to walking the extra distance that will be required in using the bridge but that only emphasizes the fact that ft is not solely New London and Gro ton that are going to benefit.
 In connection with the opening however. there should not be over looked the contribution that has beer made by the New Haven road In mak. ing this change possible.

GOVERNMENTS RAIL CONTROL

As if they had been feeling the pulse of the country and had found that 1t was against the idea of ac- qtiiring control Of the railroads of the country and running them under the Plumb plan. the railroad brother hoods are now said to have decided that there was no chance for that piece of proposed legislation. and fla vor the keeping of the roads as they are-under government control-for for two years longer. There is some thing about the way in which the government operates the roads that the brotherhoods like and it is Dossi- ble that they figure it would be easier after two years to bring up the Plumb plan again. and certainly actually talk ing the roads would be easier if the government was in control of oper- Rtions than as if they were in the hands of their owners.
 At the present time the loss entail ed by the government in the running of the railroads this year has amount cd to over a quarter of billion dol lars The turning back of the roads 10 the owners has been fixed for the first Of the year but as yet no legis- lation has been perfected to govern after that return has been made ana less than two months remain in whicf 10 adopt it.
 The chances seem slim at this tint for the passage of any railroad bill be- fore the first of January, and no ont would think of putting them back un der the old conditions that prevailed previous 10 the war. On the othe hand the roads should not be turned back until provision has been mad, whereby their income will provid, sufficient funds to keep them going. fo after the return the government can not be relied upon to meet deficits a is doing now.
 And yet it will not require twt years to pass the needed railroad leg islation or to allow them the rate necessary 10 do business at fai profit. The idea of extended control a advocated by the brotherhoods is no for the aid of the railroads. but i seems probable that short extensio will be required beyond the first c January if the roads are to be return cd in as good condition as when taker

Catarrll Of The Stos1lacl, Is Dangerous
"Thousands Have 1t and Don't Know It," Says Physician. Ere quently Mistaken for Indigestion : How to Recognize and Treat.

"Thousands of people suffer more or
 less constantly from furred, coated tongue, bad breath, sour. burning in stomach. bitter ernctatioHs.. gas, wind and stomach acidity and cali it indigestion. when in reality their trou- ble is due to gastric catarrh of the stomach" writes a>NeW York physi- clan.
 CatarrfTeof the stomach is dangerous
 because the mucous membrane lining of the stomach is thickened and coat ing of phlegm covers the surface so that the digestive fluids cannot mix with the food and digest them. This condition soon breeds deadly disease in 1 blood is polluted and carries the infee- tion throughout the body. Gastric ulcers are apt to form and frequently an ulcer is the first sign of deadly cancer
 In catarrh of the stomach a good and safe treatment is to take before meals | a teaspoenful of pure Bisurated Mag l nesia in half glass of hot water as I hot as you can comfortably drink it. | The hot water washes the mucous; from
 the stomach walls and draws the blood l to the stomach while the bisurated magnesia is an excellent solvent for 1 the not water treatment. Moreover. l the Bisurated Magnesia will serve as a powerful but harmless antaeid which will neutraliZe any excess hy- stomach and sweeten it's food contents. Easy. natural digestion without dis l tress of any kind should soon follow l Bisurated Magnesia is not a laxative, 1 Is harmless, pleasant and easy to take and can be obtained from any local druggist. Don't confuse Bisufated
 Magnesia with other forms of magne-
 sia, milks, citrates, etc. but get 1t in l the pure bisurated form (powaer or l tablets). especially prepared for this 1 purpose.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Suggests Larger Orchestra.

MT. Editor: I would like to write a few lines in your columns in regard to the movies and vaudeville. If the pa irons of the Davis theatre are not go-, ing to have any more vaudeville, why not have the latest thing out and have music pictures with plenty of music with them the same as they have in the latest picture houses in New York city?
 Music and pictures blend into one harmonious whole and the taste in pictures improves under the stimulus of good music until the original movie fan becomes a confirmed motion pie ture patron. For some of the very latest picture houses they have as many as 50 trained musicians in the theatre. Of course. we are not to ex- pect any thing like that here in our city but it would be nice to see a few more musicians in the orchestra as long as they are going to cut. out vaudeville. With the fine orchestra, the theatre has, a few more nut sicians added to it would be very nice PATRON. H Norwich. Nov. 4, 1919.

CROSSING RAILROAD TRACKS.

With due regard for the protection of lives demands are constantly being made for the elimination of grade crossings or the protecting of them by fiagmen or signals. but the fact cannot be overlooked that there is a large responsibility that rests upon the shoulders of those using highways that cross railroads if safety is going to be obtained. Overhead or under meath crossings prevent collisions; so does the exercise of the proper amount of care. Flagnen, signs and signals warn all users of the highway and cause many who would not otherwise be aware of the crossing to keep out of the way of the locomotive but there are too many instances where too much dependence is placed upon a re- straining hand to keep one out of trouble, when proper care and atten- ton would do it.
 This is well illustrated by the frightful grade crossing accident in New Jersey where II young people were killed and 1S injured when pas senger train crashed into motor truck filled with humanity bound for a pleasure trip. It was at a crossing where the view of the railroad was not blocked. The engineers of the train had whistled for the crossing and the signal at the crossing indicated that a train was approaching vet the driver of the truck proceeded along without slowing down until someone shouted warning.
 In this case it is entirely probable that the noise of the crowd or the truck was sufficient to drown out any rumble or whistle of the train. and that is frequently the case with any automobile, but there was the signal totally ignored seemingly in the same attitude as many drivers used to plunge through the lowered gates al Long Island crossings rather than to slew IT the car.
 That grade crossings should be kept at the minimum and some sort of pro- te tion he provided at such danger srcts l.-i; the responsibility of looking out for self and party is something which every auto or vehicle driver ] cannot too careful,f' recounize

THOUSANDS, HAVE KIDNEY TROUBLE AND NEVER
 SUSPECT IT
Applicants for Insurance Often
 Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in over coming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kifmer's Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for it's remarkable record of success. 5.e' '-t-
 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Com paies, in an interview of the subject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kid- ney trouble is so common to the Am erican people, and the large majority of those whose applications are de- elined do not even suspect that they have the disease.

STORIES OF THE WAR
Belgium Recovering.
(By The Associated Press.

NDJ ID6 ASSUCldtRQ FIHSS-l
 All Belgium Is returning to work and the country is recovering rapidly from the war.
 In Brussels factories which were damaged during the German occupa- tion are being fitted with machinery, and some of them already are turning out their accustomed products to within 8 few per cent. of the pre-war capacity
 Production of sugar exceeds the pre- war tonnage. Glass factories are re- opening. In the iron and steel mills many plants have resumed operations particularly in the Liege district where some of the mills were com pletely demolished and others so bad ly damaged that entire blast furnaces had to. be rebuilt. Within a year, it }is believed, the most important oi these plants will be operating to ea- pacity.
 The cotton trade of qhent also has resumed, and steamers loaded witt I American cotton are arriving almost l daily. During the German occupation all copper fittings were removed iron bthe machines in the spinning factories and some of these have not yet beer replaced.
 The linen industry also has taken or new life, and additional workers ar, being employed every week. The ex i port trade in linen is growing just al rapidly as hefaetories can turn ou i the finished product.
 It is in the country districts, how, ever, where one sees the Belgian at hi 1 best. In the vast garden eountr, which stretches from Brussels to tn, l sea scarcely a square foot of gFoun, is left uncultivated, so anxious are tn . people to produce their own food, am I they are working from early morn un
