CHILD BITTEN BY RAT.

Little Annie Oakley, nine months old, of s5 Frank street, was the vic- tim of a peculiar accident last night. The child was asleep in her crib along about 12 o'clock when in some manner unknown a rat on a hunt for food picked on the chi1d's left eyelid as the substance for good meal which resulted in much pain to the infant. The distracted moth CT awakened by the screams of the child rushed to the Emergency hos ,pita1 where the little patient was treated by pr. J. A. Maxwell. The eye was not invoked and after the treatment the child was none the worse for the experience.

The charge was made that following the destruction of the buildings the men went to Triangle Park, dedicated to the memory of World War veterans, and with shovels scooped up earth and threw it into the main highway. The act followed a dispute several months ago concerning the ownership of land on which the buildings stood. Lawyer J. Clinton Roraback has been retained as counse, for the Ecclesias- tical Society. It is probable that civil, not criminal action, will be brought against the men.

N'The commission is not satisfied that the temporary rate herein au- thorized is a proper rate or that it will produce the revenues needed and expected by the company, but it is permitted on the urgent request of the company as temporary and an emergency rate.
 ''The commission is of the opinion that if there is to be a return to the flat rate system, the general public would be better satisfied with a re- turn to substantially the old flat rate claimed by officers of the company that a flat rate of cents on the old flat areas would not produce suffl cient revenue to allow the company to continue operation. ,, x
 Believing that the old zones or flat fare limits are closely connected with the industrial and comm merc:al devel- opment of the communities of the state, and would, subject to certain notifications of grave lnequahtIes, meet with public demand, we there fore direct the Connecticut Company to present at the adjourned hearing of this case plan and rate schedule contempla ting the use of said old fare limits.

When a Canaan citizen comes to the front, telling his friends and neighbors of his experience, you can rely on his sincerity. The statements of people residing in far away places do not command your confl- dence Home endorsement is the kind that backs Doan's Kidney Pills. Such testimony is convincing. Inves- tigation proves it true. Below is a statement of Canaan resident. No stronger proof of merit can be had.
 James O. Snyder, Bragg St., says My kidneys had been out of order for some time and I often had diff culty in passing the kidney secre- tions. My back pained great deal, too. When I stopped over, I could hardly straighten up. After using a box of Doan's Kidney Pills, procur- ed from Farnum & Co.'s Drug Store, had no more kidney trouble.'
