For fuel gas, 1.28 cents net per 1,000 cubfe feet. Today we are paying $1.25 per 1,009 cubic feet for both kinds. Norwich Should Be Proud. The saving to the public is large on illuminzaiing gas, but practically noth- ing on fuel gas. It is estimated that at present the consumption of {lluminating and fuel gas i about equal, and if so the saving on the illumindting gas would be very cloze to $7.700 per year. The fact i the people of Norwich are saving tully $30,000 as owners of the gas and electrical plint, and that eav- ing represents: the dividend -that the plant would pay if owned by a private corporation.” All this in excess of the profits that are made yearly and held In the' reservé and depreciation funds.

A club of baldheads formed in every city in America would be a good thing if its members could be induced to parade hatless through the main streets of the city. The writer would suggest :‘}at some of the members carry banners with inscriptions of such a character as to warn those who still have hair that baidness is unnecessary; that in nearly every cage it is the result of careless- ness. Banners inscribed as follows would be appropriate: ‘We lot the dandruff germ do it.” “The time to save the hair is when you have hafr to save. “When we were young, the dandruff germs worked every blessed minute. They dug our hair out by the roots, and now we aren't in it.” The best banner of all would bfi this: “We didn't use Parisian Sage. The Lee & Osgood Co. sell Parisian Sage for 50 cents a large bottle, so do live druggists everywhere.

The first man who was ap- proached was C. F. Thayer and he abscribed $5,000, his brother sub- bed a like amount and Mr. Tracy borrowed $10,000 to put Into it.
