LOCAL TROLLEY FARES
 NOT TO BE CHANGED

The New London division, comprising the Connecticut companyS trolley lines in eastern Connecticut, is not included in petition presented to the public utilities commission by the Connecticut company asking for a fat fare rate of seven cents instead of the present zone rate.
 According to a statement made by President L. & Storrs of the Connecticut company in the petition to the public utilities commission, the zone system of trolley fares and collections established under an order of the commission dated March 30, 1920, is a failure as a revenue producer. The company desires to estab- fish kat fare rate of seven cents in place of the zone system in accordance with a proposed schedule filed with the commission.
 In accordance with the petition a pro- posed schedule is submitted. The petition states that upon the petitions of the city of New Haven, town of Manchester and other parties the utilities commission es- tablished a system of rates and fares to be charged by the company upon all it's lines except those in the New London division, and that system was put into operation May 9, 1920. and has been iN effect ever since. Continuing. the petition says:
 Though your petitioner has made ev- cry possible endeaVor to make such SyS- tenn a success, and the same has had q fair trial, said system has not produced revenue sufficient to cover the cost of service with any return whatever upon fair valuation of property and does not now produce the actual cost of operation. Wherefore your petitioner prays leave to install forthwith a fiat fare system of rates upon lines with a base or initial fare of seven cents in accordance with the tariff hereto annexed"
 The tariff schedule of rates proposed by President Storrs is as follows: Flat rate of fare seven cents in sub stitution for present distance tariff On all rural lines fare limits to be 1 located at approximately 2.S miles apart On all short city lines the fiat rate to apply to the entire line.
 l On longer city lines the fare limit to be located at a point not less than three
 miles from the traffic center of the city. Free transfers to be given to all pas | sengers from and to points not more than l two and one-half miles from the traffic l center.
 When the public utilities commission made it's decision on March 90, the com
 ppany took an appeal to the superior | court, and that apeal is now pending

IDEAL HEALTH CONDITIONS
AT STATE GUARD CAMP
Special to The Bulletin.)


 Camp Major Rau, Mantle, July a. Health and sanitary conditions which are under the supervision of Col Smith and the sanitary corps are ideal in camp. Three of the state guarders members of the Third Infantry. C. S. G. which is in camp here this week, were overcome with the heat yesterday, and one man is still at Backus hospital. There are a large number of old timers, men who served overseas with the A. E. F. with the reg iment which is making d more than cred itable showing.
 Last night the boys put on show of their own and it was admirably present. ed under the direction of Capt Marshall reSimental chaplain. Two or three good boxing bouts drew forth much aplause There was an awkward squad which could not possibly drill, in spite of the strenuous efforts of the energetic drill sergeant. But after a drink of imitation .jakey" the whole squad snapped into it in regular army style and the ap- plause by the delighted soldier audience was thunderous.
 GeVers and Waldron put on a tumbling ate that took the house" by storm. It is said to have rivalled anything yet seen on a camp stage.
 The regimentaI band furnished music for the performers and after the show was over gave concert programme. The boys turned out in force after the show and attended the dance at Pine Grove. Every loose board and hole in the camp fence has been discovered and by a little i tactical work on the part of a tardy l 'guarder" he can generally manage to | slip into camp unnoticed by the guard after taps"
 | A few who overstayed the time limit and who got nabbed are now cutting wood for the mess sergeants. l During evening parade last night a man dropped on the field and the sani- tary corps, made uD of Norwich men, and commanded by Major c. c. Glider sleeve of Norwich, got him into the hos pital in exactly two minutes from the tim che dropped.
 | Tomorrow will be Governors Day in camp and many visitors are expected.

MEASLES AND WHOOPING COUGH
 REPORTED FROM NORWICH

Two cases of whooping cough and two cases of measles were reported from Norwich during the week ending July IT, according to the weekly morbidity report of the state department of health made public Thursday. In the eastern part of the state diseases were reported as fol- lows:
 iphtheria-Groton Whooping cough-New London Nor wich 2, Brooklyn 1.
 Measles-Groton (town) 1S; Norwich
 Scarlet fever-Stonington 1.
 With reference to the vaccination of school children the morbidity report says:
 Smallpox is increasing in the United States.
 It is the rule for health officials to be the object of a great amount of criticism scourge- and caused many fatalities. At the present time, the fatalities are fewer because of the mildness of the disease, but disagreement is the usual aftermath of the disease in those individuals who are so unfortunate as to suffer from it.
 The general statutes of Connecticut provide that the school authorities may require every child to be vaccinated be-
 
 pox becomes prevalent among school children in a town where the school au- thorities have not exercised the power they have to protect the children, the cpl demic should not be charged against the health officials.
 In recent years. smallpox has been in creasing by leaps and bounds in the United States and is causing much con- cern among the health officials who are acquainted with the situation.
 Figures demonstrate what is happen ing in this country and what will happen in Connecticut if the bars are let down. and school children are not vacci- nated School authorities should insist on every child being vaccinated against smallpox before entering school and par ents should aid in carrying out this measure of preventive medicine The time to carry out vaccination is during the va cation before school begins.
 Smallpox vaccine is furnished to all health officers of the state on request by the state department of health, and must be kept in a cool place to prevent deterf- OratTOn

Snakes, Chances of Skin.

It appears that snakes change their skins several times a year before reach ing the adult state. The main reason why snakes cast their skins is to pro- vide for increased growth The skin of a snake does not grow with the growth of the body, as is the case with warm blooded creatures. So when it begins to get too tight it is discarded.

 T have been troubled with lumbago and neuritis for the past two years which affected me principally in the arms and limbs and was so bad that I would have to use one arm to lift the other if I wanted to raise it. the
 pain was so bad I could not sleep at
 night and had to get up eight or nine
 times and my joints were sore and I
 had no appetite and felt weak and run
 down. I have been restored by only
 three bottles of CINOT and have spent
 many, many dollars in ether ways to obtain relief. If anyone doubts this story I would be pleased to have them call on me or write me as l am going to pass the good word along.

he Is on the rim of the world. Some of
the turns are so sharp it is impossible
to see 20 feet ahead, and We seem to
be perilously near the jumping of
place. We wonder If 1t is safe to lean
out and peer into the canyon far below,
and when we do we are perfectly sat
isfled we are flirting with death. Yet
driver has better nerves than our own.
All too soon we reach the outskirts
of Baguio, a city among the clouds,
and are rather surprised at the modern
city we find 1t to be. In ten years Ba-
guio has grown from a village Of huts
to the now justly famed mountain re-
sort sf the Philippines, sometimes call
ed the Philippine Slmla. 1t il un-
doubtsdly destined some day to become
large city.
Baguio ranges In elevation from
1850 to $500 feet and Is surrounded
practically on all sides by high noun
tain ridges and "hogsbacks" towering
into the skies at a height Of almost
5000 feet.
Aside from the scenery, which is
noteworthy, the great blessing Of Ba-
guio is Its temperate climate, which is
indeed godsend to those impoverish-
ed by the tropical temperatures Of the
lowlands. Not only is the mountain
air rich IN ozone, but 1t has been DEM
onstrated to be extraordinarily free
from germs Of all kinds.
Each year during the hot season the

of which through the mountains is a

A characteristic of the corn poppy,
beside its brilliant scarlet coloring, is
the large size of its two outer petals,
which hide the lesser pair until the
bower has opened. Poppies of Flan-
ders, be they corn peoples or other
varieties, are not of the oriental spe-
cies from which opium is derived. The
corn poppy. when cultivated, is known
as the Shirley poppy. The flower is
perennial or annual, according to the
variety.

Sympathy.

Sympathy can people our life with
crowd. The fisherman on the ocean
alone at night is not alone when he re-
members the earnest longings which
are arising up to heaven at home for
his safety; the traveller Is not alone
when the faces which will greet him
on his arrival seem to beam upon him
as he trudges on; the solitary student
Is not alone when he feels that human
hearts will respond to the truths
which h. is preparing to address to
them.--F. w. Robertson.
