Loca people have wondered how seven meat markets could be financial successes in a tawn the size of Plain- ville and many predicted that there would be a falling out of several in a short time. George Barrows, man, left the employ of the Plainvilie Cash Market to enter business for himseclf. At the time there were but a few meat markets in the town and his start wa 1CC ful. It is hinted, however, that the path has not been sa smooth of late and he is said to have left the town and his business. At any event the store is closed and Barrows is away. veral s have been in town sceking their pe ments, they said. A neighbor in the vicinity of the market stated that Mr. Barrows has not been at his place of business since last Friday. Carload of Sugar. A person wauld have to be both blind and deaf this morning if near the center of the town and not know that a carload of sugar had arrived. The fact could be seen by the wagons of the local merchants wending their way toward the depot and returning loaded with the precious commodity. And the fact could be heard from the lips of everyone in the center who saw the wagons and knew that a scarcity existed in town. And local merchants were not the only ones to be quickly on the spot, as ane truck from out of town was seen to arrive and depart heavily laden. Local people have heen unable for some time to get the amount of sugar they desired and conditions were be- coming as in the days of the recent year when only a pound or two could be obtained at intervals. How far the supply of this morning will go is ¥n- known but it will at feast relieve the shortage which so seriously threaten- ed. Canning time is arriving and the housewives are more anxious than ever to get a supply of sugar on hand befare they purchase their goods for canning. lectric Cable Linc. Blectric Light and Water company of New Britain ha a gang of men busy laying a heavy cable line from the neighboring city's power house to this town. Poles have been erected along the right of way of the New Britain trolley line as far as the Landers Frary and Clark factory building and will be erected as far as Trumbull's. This work means another improvement for the town as it will place the heavy cur rent of “juice” used by the several Jarge factories on a separate line, -apable, through means of the heav cable, of carrying a very heavy cur- rent which is necded in the factories without interfering in the least with the current supplying other places in town. Heretofore the current has been on the same line. The change may not be noticed at once but it will probably serve to give better serv- ice to houses, etc The work on line was started after work was be- zun on the new factory building for Landers Frary and Clark in the east- ern section of the town. Lander: Trumbull's, and Rockwell-Drake's will consume some “juice” and the cable line will be of great service. Double Tracks Laid. Double tracks are being laid at the Landers’ building. One track runs from the trolley into the factory ——eee e he held evening.

The curved track will be used for coal cars and the coal will be dumped into the cement pit. The other track will be used for freight and other uses. The wor of installing the tracks recalled to lo- cal people the time when the same work was being done for the Hart and Hutchinson factory in New Brit- in. At that time howls of protest were raised because the railroad com- pany had its freight cars hauled over the trolley tracks to the new factory. The practice has been going on and protests are now unknown. It is not known whether the new factory will ship mostly by trolley freight or by the means of the railroad Ready to Build.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted authority.

While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and | take a tablospoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days.
