CONSTIPATION.

The beginning of almost every Sc
rious disorder is constipation. If you
want to enjoy good health keep your
bowels regular. This is best accom-
plished by proper diet and exercise.
but sometimes a medicine is needed
and when that is the case you will
find Chamberlain's Tablets are excel
lent. They are mild and gentle in
their action, easy and pleasant to
take. Give them a trial. They only
cost a quarter.

PROBLEM ON WEST THAMES STREET

was due largely to a fixed price of fare made With little consideration of the adjustment of price to meet cost.
 F'irst-The electric railways of tha country are breaking down under pres sent conditions of operation. As d re- suit the public is being deprived of service and is facing financial losses through the depreciation in the value of electric railway securities, largely held by savings banks, life insurance and trust companies and similar in stitutions in which savings aEe invest ed.
 Second-This conditions is primarily due to the economic error of establish ing an inf1exible fare regardless of the cost of the service rendered or the dis rance hauled.
 | Third-To correct this difficulty flexible fares must be established which will be automatically adjusted /, to the cost of the service demanded ! by and furnished to the committee. l Fourth-A necessary element of the cost. of service is such return on the l funds employed as will attract capital | to the public service. To provide in
 centive to enterprise and initiative
 there must be an additional reward for
 economical management.
 l Fifth-In the interest of the car rid
 CT, who must ultimately pay the cost ot l, local transportation service, every special impost and tax which cannot 1 be justified upon the ground that il is payment for benefit received should be abolished
 l Sixth-That to secure satisfactory service and to keep fares as low q: possible the public must act on the
 principle of "the greatest good for th' greatest number" and cooperate witl
 the operating companies in making | effective economies by the use 0 skip stops, one man cars, etc., an'
 the speeding up of schedules by regu
 lation of vehicular traffic.
 l Seventh-Electric railway transpor
 tation is a community problem to b
 solved by the community and tn
 company acting together, and animat
 ed by a spirit of civic interest an,
 devotion to public service, and havni as ts objectve the establishment 0 : such regulations as will give the pub !, lie the greatest efficiency, economy an , enterprise in the operation of thei ; transportation utilities.

Just what to do with financing the West Thames street Improvement work, now that the Shore Line Electric railway company is unable to provide the money for the share of the ex- pense that falls to it under the law, is . problem that will have to be taken up by the public works committee of the common council.
 At a recent meeting where he spoke before a public aa5emblage in this city, President Robert W. Perkins, of the Shore Line stated that it would take s29,000 to do the highway work that the law compels the trolley road to do between it's tracks and two feet outside of each track in this street He declared that he could not see where the money was to come from and he also told the common council the same thing when it passed a reso- lution at a special meeting on March lS calling upon the Shore Line road to have all the work of relocating it's tracks and constructing a cement
 concrete roadway on or before the 14th of May.
 Since then the public works commit tee has been considering the situation but has come to no definite conelu- l sion, as it was waiting to see what the 1 legislature would do about the pro- 1 poSal to release the trolley roads from 1 highway construction work.
 l In view of all the discussion of the 1 trolley situation in Connecticut, what
 was said at the mid-year. meeting of l the American Elecric railway associ-
 ation at New York recently is of spe-
 cial interest at this time. Speakers 1 there declared there was an imperative
 need for cost of service system" Of
 regulating fares, a flexible system ot
 fares, with municipal ownership as l the only alternative. The meeting was
 attended by the executives of Ameri- can electric railway companies public
 service commissioners, municipal of I ficials and bankers.
 The associations report on read justment presented report embracing the fundamentals of plan for read justing the relations between the com ! nlunities and the electric railway com panies Philip J. Gadsden, president o l the Charleston Consolidated Railwa! and Light company, chairman of the committee, declared that the presen state of the electric railway system!
