The Public Utilities Commission has
given out a decision in which it de-
clines to permit the schedule of in
creased rates as filed by the Calais
Water & Power o., but sets forth
schedule which it authorizes the COM
pany to file and which it will approve.
The company filed it's schedule on Nov.
"a, 1920 to be effective on Jan. l, 1921.
Hearing was set for Dec. last at Ca
lais. but it not being convenient for
the parties to attend, the commission
suspended the schedule for three
months from Dec. 13 and later for
three months from March IL, 1921. A
public hearing was held March is at
Calais H. II. Murchie appearing for

saying the valuation is too large and
E items of property are included in the
inventory, not used Or useful in the
: service rendered; the business is not
economically and prudently managed
and that the petitioners have not seq
regated the cost of operation of the
Calais system. but combined the
Calais and Midtown, N. B.. systems
and thus failed to show the necessity
for more revenue: also that the oper-
ating costs are excessive, certain
items being improperly included
therein.
The company also asked that the fee
for shutting off and turning on water
be increased from So to 81. This was
refused by the commission.
! The commission orders:
| That the aforesaid revision Of rates
charged for service to the public, pro-
posed by the Calais Water & Power
Co., as presented. is not reasonable or
just in all respects and the same are
hereby rejected;
That the company is hereby author
lied to publish and file forthwith, eff
fective July l, 1921, a revision of its
rates, as follows:
c''s MIGRANTS nfs' 'V0' $3.50 $50 DER year
Extra hydrants, each IS Der year
And in addition thereto such sum as
may be assessed by the city of Calais
against said company for taxes over
and above the amount of $500.

In case the consumption Of water
does not amount to $3.50 for three
months, the consumer will be required
to pay a minimum charge of $3.50 for
each three months.
The commission says, in regard for
the provision Of taking care Of in
creased taxes that may be imposed by
the city on the company:
i "One of the principal items Of in
creased expenses, so far as rendering
service in Calais is concerned, consists
of an additional amount of taxes as
sessed against the company by the
city of Calais. We believe that this
particular additional cost of service
ought to be borne so far as is practi-
cal as part of it's public fire protec-
ton and as small part as possible
paid by the other customers. It seems
to be evident that the net amount to
be paid by the city for public fire pro-
lection, over and above the amount re-
ceived from the company by city in
taxes, ought, under the same or SIM
liar conditions to remain reasonably
consistent If increased rates are to
De granted to meet the requirements
OF the company, such increase ought
not to be absorbed by an increased tax
assessment We shall therefore. pro-
VIDE In this order that such increa SEES
as are granted in rates for public fire

CONGRESS MAY
PROVIDE PHYSICAL
CHILD TRAINING

Washington, April 16-Among the
first bills introduced at the opening ses-
sion Of the new congress was one
proposing federal cooperation with the
states in the extension of physical edu-
cation TO reach all children between the
ages of six and eighteen. The bill was
introduced by Senator Arthur Capper,
of Kansas and Representative S. d.
Fess, of Ohio.
The new bill differs from the Fess-
Capper bill of the last congress, in
that physical examination or medical
treatment is not required where par
ents object, and a clause has also been
inserted guarding against discrimna-
tion for or against any school Of prac-
titioners.
Congressman Capper and Fess point
out that with these amendments they
have adequately met the opposition to
the former bill. The purpose of the
bill is not to prescribe particular
means and methods through which the
various states shall extend physical
education TO all children, but rather
TO provide federal stimulus and cooper
alton to enable the state TO extend and
carry on more effectively their own
locally determined programs of physi-
cal education, the congressman say.
The bill Duthorizes an ,appropria-
tion OF sl0,000,000 TO be distributed TO
the states for the payment Of one
half the cost Of training and employ
ing teachers of physical education, in

DRESS warm AND
KEEP FEET DRY
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Take
Salts and Get Rid Of Uric Acid

rheumatism is no respecter of age
sex, color or rank. If not the most
dangerous of human Affections it is one
of the most painful. Those subjected to
rheumatism should eat less meat, dress
as warmly as possible avoid any undue
exposure and above all, drink lots OF
pure water.
rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the func-
ton of the kidneys to filter this acid
from the blood and cast it out in the
urine; the pores Of the skin are also
means of freeing the blood of this impu-
rity. In damp and chilly, cold weather
the skin pores are closed thus forcing
the kidneys to do double work, they
become weak and sluggish and fail to
eliminate this uric acid which keeps
accumulating and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in the
joints and muscles causing stiffness,
soreness and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism get
from any pharmacy about four ounces
of Jad Salts; put tablespoonful in a
glass of water and drink before break
fast each morning for u week. This
is said TO eliminate uric acid by stimu-
lating the kidneys TO normal action,
thus ridding the blood of these impurl-
ties.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. ADV.

cludlng health supervisors and school
nurses. During the first year or two,
physical educators say it is probable
only part of this sum will be used by
the states.
The amount available will be deter
mined by the number Of persons in each
state between the ages of six and eigh-
teen, but each state will receive q sum
equal,to the amount it is already spend
ing for the training and employment of
teachers of physical education.
Physical educators now in Washing
ton urging immediate passage of the
bill say that the proposed legislation
would save the country many millions
in excess of the cost They say it cost
the government nearly s194 ,00O, 900 an
nually to make provision for the 5.000,-
900 children daily absent from the pub
lie schools, largely on account of sick
ness. Sixty per cent of the children
are retarded in their schoolwork about
nine per cent by physical deficiency
thus adding s32,O00O00 a year to the
annual bill for education. Five million
young people under the age of nine
teen in industry lose time and pay doc
tors bills each year amounting to $72,-
100000. The preliminary physical
training of 10000 raw recruits for the
army each year would cost $3.50 1000 900.
The Republican platform endorses
universal physical education, and edu-
Gators Throughout the country are al
ready beginning to urge upon the new
congress the necessity of following the
leadership Of France, England, Japan
and other large countries that have all
ready made physical training a com.
pulsory part of the school course.

He engaged no help. and did the work
all by himself. In 1915, Mr.. Newman
confined his efforts solely to the manu-
facture of the stoves, and turned out
$50 of them. In 1916, he employed two
men to aid him. and manufactured $50
stoves. In 1917, he moved his works
from its location on west Main street
to its present site, and with the en-
ployment of five men, manufactured
1850 stoves. The capacity of the plant
continually Increased during the follow
ing years.
On January list, 1918, the firm was
incorporated as the Brooks Burner

his patent to the company. The incor-
porators of the firm were J. ID. Rea,
