The Mass Meeing Friday Night.

At the mass meeting held in the
town hall Friday night for the one
purpose of considering a demand for
a raise of 5000 in the price Of street
lights furnished the town by the King
tree Electric Light & Ice Co., result
ed, after much discussion, in the ap
pointment of a committe' of nine to
further consider the matter. The
committee is composed of three citi-
zens, three stockholders in the COM
pany and three aldermen.
The Electric Light Co. failed to
convince the meeting that its charges
are not already exorbitant or that
there is justification in its demands
upon the town for an increase to $500
per month in lieu of the $500 now be-
irg paid.

Automobile Industry Practicing
Normally

Industries as & rule require many
years of development before they are
permanent. There are the expert
ments and the setbacls and the con
slant plugging toward definite ideal
Few industries spring to an enormou:
size in the course Of decade and be-
come reckoning foctors in the busl'
ness world. There are few excep
tions-the outstanding one being the
automobile industry. This industry
stands in the front rank as one of the
worlds greatest, although the auto
mobile was invented only little more
than twenty years ago.
During this score Of years by prac'
tical use, the automobile has forced
itself into the list of absolute neces'
sites. 1t serves a purpose in daily
life that nothing else can serve quite
as we'll. 1t is the accepted, means OF
transportation and without it tho
worlds program of business as 1t Is
enacted from day to day would be de-
moralized. This medium Of trans
portation has no substitute. 1t is ac'
cepted as the practical method in al
walks of life, social, commercial ane
otherwise.
The automobile industry is planning
sensible year of expansion, despite
the rumors of depression, which hav'
been put in circulation, and if other IN
dustries will adopt similar slogan
-"Business as usual"-the CONNER
cial veins of this nation will feel new
life and be accelerated to the point
of normalcy by the stimulation Of
trade.
In this respect the manufacturer:
and dealers are displaying foresight
and 4 keen sense of business anlysls
The country needs more business mer
of this kind who are not afraid TO pir
their faith to the established laws Of
supply and edmand, and by the >adop'
ton of such a policy satisfactory re-
suits are bound to come. The funda'
mental principles of business insure
the venture, if it can be referred .tc
as that. The public, by supporting
industries that are operated on basi:
of optimism, will take long step to
ward reaching the only reasonable
solution to the problem which is nov
; threatening to reach out and demon
alize the very phases of business tina
should remain staple and undisturbed

Fatal Vagaries of Pneumonia

Pneumonia is unusually prevalent
this winter, according to physicians.
And these have noticed that it has a
tendercy to attack its victims IN a
very mild form and then, when they
seem to be out of danger, to return IN
Illuminating way and carry the suf-
ferer off in few hours. For this
reason they are impressing on their
patients the imperative necessity OF
taking exceptional care of themselves
until they have fully regained their
strength.
Pneumonia is an invasion of the
body by bacilli which are almost al
WAYS present in our mouths and
throats, doing no harm but waiting
only for an opportunity to find weak
spot in the natural defenses in our
systems, invade the blood stream anG
play havoc in the lungs. Such op-
portunities are found when the body
is weakened by exposure, excess OF
overwork.
Four types of pneumonia hocilla
are we'll recognized by the doctors,
and the severity of the attack varies
with the type of germ that makes it..
If type 4 be the invader-as is COM
monty the case this season-the at
tack is generally light and the recove-
ry rapid But these mild bacilli seem
to have a subtle power, when van
ouished by the serum that has been
injected to aid the defensive corpus
cles of the blood in combating them,
of digging themselves in, lying ap'
parently dormant, and then, when sus-
picion has been lulled, of sallylng
forth transformed into one OF the
more virulent types and making an
onslaught that puts the defending cor
puscles-already weakened by their
previous battle-to utter rout. This
accounts for the many sudden deaths
of pneumonia patients who seemed to
be we'll on the road to recovery.
Besides, say the physicians, very
light case of pneumonia does not con-
fer immunity, as does severe one,
but leaves the victim peculiarly sus-
ceptible to another and perhaps fatal
attack.-N. Y. World.
