Have Youa BadBack? If Yeu Have, the Statement of this Nerwich Resident Will Interast You. (Special to The Bulletin) New ' London, November 13.—The great majority of the people of New Lon- don have every been proud of its volun- teer fire department, proud of its-achieve- ments, its efficiency and its economical conduct ,and appreciative of the eager- ness of the volunteer firemen to serve the city faithfully, sacrificing personal in- terests for the sole purpose of giving the very best fire service ito the city. All this is to be changed and the entering wedge has been driven by the mayor and the big Gunn of the fire committee that the mayor appointed to carry out his long conceived plan. Tt so happens that the mayor and his chief of the commit- tee belong to the same fire company, and both have the backing of that particular company through its officers, at. least. With the police department affairs still unsettled, even with the removal by ‘the mayor of Alderman Chappell from that committee, the start is made to disrupt the present efficient volunteer fire de- partment. And all for the evident pur- pose of clipping the wings of the Niagara company, that has been called for still alarms, more than all the other com- Dees your back ache, night and day; Hinder work! destroy your rest? Dees it stab you through and through When you stoop or lift or bend? Then vour kidneys may be weak, Often backache is the clue. Just to give you further proof, The kidmey action may be wrong. If ‘attention is not paid More distress will soon appear. Headaches, dizzy spells and nerves, Urie acld and its ills Make the burden worse and worse. Liniments and: plasters can't Reéach the inward cause at all; Help the kidneys—use the pills Norwich folks have tried and proved. What they say you can believe.

That sounds well and it may be the real intent of the gentlemen of the committee so to do. If so there will be change in method of the purchase of fire apparatus. The committee has decided to ‘junk” the Niagara steamer, | as there is no further use for' it'since ‘the {’ addition of ‘a number” of triple-combina- tion apparatus to the department. But why “junk” it? Why not-save the city a -thousand or more dollars in: its position. This can be done, by’ asking for competitive hids" in~the purchase. of additional fire apparatus. The establish- ed price of a.piece of apparatus is fixed, but in the deal liberal allowance can be made in.exchange for another piece, of apparatus, and this is done in a compet- itive transaction. This fact has been overlooked in,the past in some instances, and if this committee really intends: to contend, with. there js no telling what a degislature 13,. 1920 : —— Like the ordinary jury, LEFFINGWELL : Mrs. John .
