NORWICH COAL IN FREIGHT RATE RAISE

is that 1t is desired to eliminate the many fourth secton violations w1ich nov exist by restoring present rates to cofi- petitive points 10 a normal basis, to re- move determinations, and put these rates generally on far more equitable basis. The committee proposes that rates from bituminous coal producing regions other than Cleatheld region. be the es- abolished dinefentials over the Clearfeld district basis. = connection with the proposed anthracite rates no arbitrary will be added and the same raues will apply via the different routes. These rates cover prepared sizes of anthracite coal A relative adjustment Is contem- plated on smaller sizes of anthracite coal
 It is reported that vigorous opposition 10 the proposed rates is 10 be made by the Mandfacturers' Association of Con- necticut and the Chambers of Commerce of Hartford, New Havel, Bridgeport and New London, which are to be represent ed at the coal and coke committee pub lie hearing at it's office. 1i3 Liberty street, New York citp, February g., 1921, at 1915 a. m.
 Commenting upon the effect of the ne-s rates upon the coal trade here. one oi the prominent Norwich dealers called at. tention Tuesday night to the favorablt situation of Norwich iN trat i; is :v SDiieesl 10 uepend upon all-rail "eai. bC' receives much of It's supply by the watei route. This. he pointed out, made strong argument for the business meI of the city doing all they can to see tha the governnnen keeps the channel in th' Thames river at a depth sufficient fol coal barges so as to keep the city in tn water-port clNss, since watef-port citie get better rail rate of freight.
 This dealer estimated that the amour of anthracite coal annually used in tni city is between 45,O00 and 50,000 tons while approximately s5,e0O tons of bitum lnous coal are used here. This includes the soft, or bltu,ninous coal. used by tn large mills, such as the United State i Finishing Co.,, Ponemah Co., at Taftvillt and Liberty Woolen Co.,, at Yahtic. 1 the mills in Jewett City and Montville ar | considered also, nearly as much nor soft coal can be counted as coming int this territory annually
 An increase Of 70 cents per ton q | hard coal freight rates and 14 cents O
 soft coal, on even part of these quant
 ties, will add considerably to the cot bill of the communities.
 In a criticism of the proposed ne | rates. President Kent Hubbard of 1T
 Connecticut ManGfacturers' Associatio
 said that they were "an increased bu den to the manufacturing industry
 Connecticut as such reductions as al
 made are almost entirely limited to Il small communities"

Bible Study at '. NJ. c. A.

At the session of the mems Bible class at the Y. N. C. A. Tuesday evening the topic was The Power of Habit A num- Der of scripture passages were used and among the points brought in the discus sion were the following: Habit is life rut, a frequented path. As indicated in Romans 6 Is, man is either servant to good habits or bad habits; there is no middle ground. Among the common habits of men are profanity. smoking and impurity, the latter being by far the worst The foundation of all bad habits is 'selfshness, in fact all sin is based on selfshness. It was so with Adam and Eve and it is go with men today. It IA natural for a child to want to do what he is told not to do, and it is equally true of men, as shown in Romans [: 1s. The average man today often attempts to make excuses for his bad habits as did our first parents. Jesus came to liberate men from the slavery of sin. While Jesus alone can save a man from sin, man by his own choice determines his character, his habits and his destiny. 4 man grows weaker as he grows old, whereas his habits grow stronger as he grows older The secret Of submarine warfare is the fact that the unGersea craft creeps up 1fawares on its prey, and likewise sin and evil habits become our masters before we know it. Will power is not sufficient of itself to keep man clean and pure, neither ia mans environment he must have the power of God in his life if he would be the mnn he should be. Man alone ib failure, but with God he is Q success

JAMAICA GINGER UNDER
 RAN ON fEBRuARf Ik

Those who want to lay in some Janiai- oA ginger f6s medicinal purposes have about 1I days mora to do so without having to go to a physician and pay s3 for a prescription to obtain tho same. Jamaica is to be placed On board the same wagon with John BArieycorh on the 18th, and win be tAbooed in well ordered society.
 Jamaica ginger has long been a house. hold commodity. along with starch and paresorio. and until the arrival of the voistead amendment was not regarded as an insidlous individual Since that time, however, he has been implicated in nu- merous affairs formerly accredited to the more able and ppsnscaous John. Hence the reason for at last putting Ja- maica in shAckles and claiming him to the mast.
 So stock up. you who would keen q little in che house for the "tummy aeae' for it is not only an expense but a null sanee to procure a prescription when one wants some ginger in hurry.
