MORE CATTLE KILLED, Herd Belonging to Mabel Burns in Occum Was Infected With Foot and Mouth Diseas: Light cows, three heifers, two calves and one bull, comprising the herd own- ed by Mabel Burns in Occum, were killed on Wednesday afternoon by Dr. C. J. Becker of the federal govern- ment, as it was found that the animals had contracted the foot and mouth dis- ease. The bull was purchased from Samuel Clark on March 19, and as his herd had the disease it was communi- cated to the Burns herd. The appraisal of the herq was made according to the beef or dairy valuation, as has been the case of the appraisals of other herds. The 14 cattle killed Wednesday brings the total up to 89 head of cat- tle and 9 pigs thus far killed in New London county because of the disease. There is one more suspected case in Occum, and from present indications it is thought that the disease has been contracted from the Clark herd. Two disinfecting crews are now at work. B. McGee has charge of one crew at the Fargo farm and Mr. Roun- lee has another crew at work on the Wilson farm. Inspecting teams are covering the towns in the county, and a second inspection will be made to make sure that the foot and mouth dis- ease has been stamped out. S Don’t be misled. F.

She had been in poor health for some The holding of another Merchants' week in this city was decided upon at 2 meeting in the Board of Trade rooms Thursday afternoon, when a report was Teceived from the committee appointed a week ago, and the date and plan which they suggested were both ac- cepted. The date is to be from Satur- day, April 24, to Saturday, May 1, both dntes inclusive, thus taking in two Saturdays, the same as was the plan last year, when the first Merchants’ week was held. The meeting was called to order at 4 o'clock by Frank J. King, with Her- bert B. Cary acting as secretary, and a report was asked for from John M. Lee, who was chairman of the commit- tee ‘appointed a week ago to consider and suggest a_working plan for Mer- chants' week this year. The following was the plan present- ed and adopted by vote of the meet- ing: Plan For Merchants Week. The special committee appointed to araft a plan for Merchants Week beg leave to submit the following: Resolved—That fe, the retail mer- chants of Norwich, in meeting assem- bled, hereby agree to hold a Mer- chants Week, from Saturday, April 24th to Saturday, May 1st, inclusive. Second—That all retail merchants of the town of Norwich be invited to participate in this event. Third—That every mercantile house desiring to participate in Merchants Week, agrees to contribute to the, duly appointed treasurer, upon de- mand, the sum of one dollar $1.00) to be used as a fund to help defray ad- vertising expenses. This payment will entitle them to have their names and business inserted in the Mer- chants Certificate book, as well as to share in any other advertising plans that may be decided upon. Fourth—That each mercantile house! participating in _ Merchants ~ Week, | Agrees to rebate fares through a gen- ‘eral clearing house and further agrees to pay to the rebate committee, 5 per cent. of all sales made by them upon which rebate is given. Fifth—That each mercantile house pay their share of any expenses which that subscribes to this plan agrees to may be contracted in promoting and carrying on Merchants Week, over and above the amount collected at the time the amount their rebate bears to the e[ntire amount rebated. Sixth—That each subscriber to Merchants Week plan agrees to be governed by all other regulations which may be adopted by a majority of the subscribers present at any regular meeting. MERCHANTS' WEEK PLAN ADOPTED Date to be From April 24 to May 1—Last Yéar Plan Modi- fied in Important Respect—Each Participating Merchant to Contribute $1 to General Expense Fund—Arrange- ment for Later Payment in Proportion to Benefits. Discussion on Plan. Each section in the plan was taken up and discussed before adoption. In the discussion it was brought out that the date was a week later than last year, and the suggestion was made that it would be advisable to have the Merchants' week observance a_fixed annual date that could be expected every year. It was pointed out that the chief point of difference in the present plan and that of last year was in the initial contribution, which thjé year is to be $1 for everyone, instead of in the grad- ed amounts of $5, $10 or $15, as last year. It was felt that this plan would better meet the feeling of some of the merchants who had expressed them- selves as dissatisfied with the sub- scription plan of a year ago, and that there were ways in which not so much money for expenses would be needed as a year ago. Tn ‘conjunction with the arrange- ments providing ‘hat any shortage in the money available for expenses shall be met by a proportionate payment by each subscriber according to the amount of sales on which he has glven rebates, it is felt that all the money needed will be raised and that those who bear the expenses will be those who have experienced direct benefit in their trade through Merchants’ week. Clearing House the Same as Before. There was some discussion as to where the clearing house for the pay- ment of rebates should be located this year, and a number of susgestions were made, but it was finally decided that the Wauregan house would be the most suitable place, following the plan of last year. It was voted also that the same com- mittees as served last year should serve again, and the next meeting of the subscribers to the plan was left to be called by the chairman.

I Sevin, 1| pany, NEW ELECERIC LIGHT OF 600 CANDLE POWER Placed at the Foot of Broadway Hill —Others to Follow Gradually. The foot of Broadway hill is just re- joicing in a new 600 candle power in- candescent lamp that has been placed there to replace the old arc light that was on the pole. The new light gives as much illum- ination as one of the incandescents used in the “white way” light, but at less expense. One of the same kind has recently been placed on Church street opposite the home of N. D. and it is the intention of the electric light department to replace the old lights gradually with the new 600 candle power lights so that when the change is all made Broadway will be very much more brilliantly illumin- ated than it has ever been, and the same will be true on other streets Where such changes are made. POWER PLANT FORALL EASTERN CONNECTICUT Revealed in Hearing on Rex Power Co. and Co-operative Power Co.—Both Want Compressed Air Plant. The committee on incorporations gave hearing on Thursday afternoon in the state capitol on the acts incor- i porating the Co-operative Power com- pany, the Rex Power company and on the act amending the Norwich Com- pressed Air company/\ As the three matters were related, although did- tinctly separate propositions, the com- tmittee decided to hear them together. { Attorney Christopher L. Avery appear- jed as counsel for the Co-operative ompany, Attorncy Charles W. Com- Stock for the Rex company, Attorney Allyn L. Brown for the Compressed Alr ompan d Corporation Counsel Jo- LOURENCE E. MILLEA. Exalted Ruler. seph T. Faning and Attorney William . | I Shields for the city and town of Norwich. Attorneys Searls and Phelps represented electric light and power companies in Windham and Tolland counties, and several officers of other electric light and power companies were present. Nearly Had Charte: Charles W. Comstock, in speaking for a charter for the Rex Power com- pany, said that in the legislature of two years ago the present proposed act of incorporation was reported favorably by the committee, passed in the senate, but was not reached in the house be- fore final adjournment. It was planned that if that charter was obtained to transfer the compressed air plant into an electric light and power plant and sell the product at wholesale to_other distributors in New London and Wind- ham counties, but not to interfere in any way with the municipal electric light plant of Norwich or with any other "similar company in the terri- tory. But the company wanted the right of transmission line outside of the territory. Mr. Comstock said the Rex company act of incofporation was the only one that was burdened with restrictions in regard to the sale of stock. He said that Mr. Mack, the owner of the Compressed Air company, had offered to sell him the plant with all its rights and privileges for $195,000 if charter had been granted. Mr. Com- stock said he had spent considerable time and upwards of $6,000 in cash to save the Compressed Air company's bonds and keep the credit uninjured. He said a right and just charter was asked for, and ought to be granted to him. He did not know what the Com- pressed Air company wanted, but he understood the promoters of the Co- operative company claimed to have op- tion on the compressed air plant, but if his charter had been granted it was the intention to close up the com- pressed air company and engage in the manufacture of eiectricity. He said he could have purchasedf three-quarters of the stock for $195,000 and $12,000 jn cash paid upon transfer. Ex-Congressman Higins said that Joseph Mack of Philadelphia, owner of the Norwich Compressed Air com- ‘was at the hearing and would satisty Mr. Comstock and the com- mittee that the Co-operative Power company had option on the'property. In New London and Windham Counties Attorney Avery said that a substi- tute Dill had been filed With the com- mittee and he belleved that all objec- tionable features of the original bill had been eliminated and that the power of the company was confined to New London and Windham counties, nor was it the intent to compete with any existing company in the sale of electric light and power, but sought the right to do business in sections of the two counties not now covered by any other company. It was the purpose to develop the water power of the Quine- baug river in the production of elec- tricity and to dispose of the product at law Tates and thereby increase the manufacturing _ facilities and with profit to the company. Mr. Higgins said the company plan- ned to develop the latent resources of eastern Connecticut and that the Co- operative Power company, if permitted, take the responsibility for the success of the venture, and the com- pany.did not want any unusual power, nor was it the purpose to interfere in any way with the business of existing companies. Plan Is Feasible. The feasibility of the plan had heen thoroughly investigated and had the approval of Mr. Crane, vice presi- dent of the J. G, White company of New York, one of the leading Con- structing engineers’s concerns in the country, by Mr. Mack who invested $300,000 in The Compressed Air com- pany, by Mr. Adams the civil engineer Who Investigated the conditions and Dy owners of manufacturing concerns located on the stream, who would be Dbenefitted by cheaper power, and an aburdance of ft and thereby enabldl to increase their plants and products and the result would be for the good of all. The charter would mean the development of natural resources, cheaper power and encourage industry, and there is nothtng hidden away be- tween the lines. The company was asking for nothing that ought not to be asked for, and the charter was wanteq for the purpose of doing busi- ness and not for purposes of traffic. He was not opposed to The Rex com pany, or_any other power company, for the Co-operative Power company had selected the chosen fleld for op- eration and was a perfectly legitimate proposition that would result in bene- fit to the specified territory and to the whole state. No powers wers asked for that had not been given to others, but this project was wanting the favorable cosideration of the com- mittee and the legislators of the state. Mr. Higgins said the dompany had op- tion and contract for mearly all the powers on the river, except those de- veloped, and the charter wes sousht for legitimate business oses, and for the benefit of the whole peopie as well as to those who were willing to invest a large sum of money in the enterprise. Develop 20,000 Horse Power. Arthur T. Adams, the engineer who had made investigation and prepared plans for the big project, told the committee that he had commenced ex- amination of the situation for Mr. Mack about two vears ago, and ascer- talned in detail the possibilities of the plan of developing the water power of ko stream for manufacturisg purpos- es by the manufacture of electricity, by water instead of by coal and there- by cheapen the motive power of fac- tories. Mr. Adams said that 20,000 horse power for twenty-four hours service could be developed by the plan. Mr. Searles asked Mr. Adams to pro- duce the figures to prove that 20,000 horse power could be generated. He. said he disiiked to give the figures as they would divulge possibilities that was not known and might be taken advantage of and to the disadvantage of those who secured the information by actual work and at no small ex- pense. Subsequently Mr. Adams gave the figures in detall and satisfied all as to his proper method of reaching the result. Danielson Manufacturer. W. P. Bullard, of Danielson, a man- ufacturer of prominence, spoke in fa- vor of incorporating the Co-operative Power company. _ He told at length of the big business now done at the mills and the menace that would come of an increased cost of motive power. Attorney Brown, representing The Compressed Air company, said that shculd The Co-operative Power com- rany be denied a charter, that his comrany’s charter should be amended so as to transform into 2 hydroelec- tric plant, ~ Protest Norwich Interests, Crrporation Counsel Fanning told the committee that it was its duty to consider the whole matter with care and see to it that there were no in- frinement on the rights of the muni- cipal plant in Norwich, and that the interests of the city and town of Nor- wich and the towns of Ledyard and Preston, where the proposed plant, Wi partially located, should be safe- guarded. Also, that the taxes due to the town of Norwich from the Co-op- erative Air company, together with the gontract thereto, were properly cared or. The hearing lasted three hours and then adjournment was taken to next ‘Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

QUICKLY STOPS HEAD COLDS AND SNUFFLES Catarrhal Germs Cause of Most Colds —New Germicidal Air Treatment Best Remedy for These Common All- ments. Reliable authorities say that up- wards of 90 per cent. of the so-called colds In the head and throat are In reality dangerous indications of the presence of acute catarrh. When you hear a person snceze or cough it's al- most certain they are throwing catarrh germs into the air for some other per- son to breathe and it’s just as certatn that the person breathing these germs will soon have catarrh or a catarrhal cold. The time to make these germs harmless and drive out your catarrhal cold is the very instant you feel a desire to sneeze or cough, or start to snuffle and wipe your nose every few minutes. The quickest and surest way to stop a head cold and drive catarrh germs out of your system is to pour a few drops of the oil of Hyomei (pronounced High-o-me) into one of the Hyomei in- baling devices which comes with each large package and place the inhaler between your lips and breathe the germicidal but pleasant smelling,_air into your nose. throat and lungs.
