POTATOES WE'RE TOO BIG.
Their Size Made Them Unmarketable
the Buyer Claimed.

New York.-Potatoes too big to be
marketable were exhibited in a suit
which has just been decided in the
district court at Passaic, n. ]. The
defendants in the action bought a
carload Of potatoes from the plaintiffs
and paid for them with check.
When, on unloading the car, layer
of enormous potatoes, some of them
Weighing six pounds each, were found.
payment on the check was stopped.
The buyer of the potatoes testified In

toners chased him with a broom

tatoes to them. The court held that
the buyer was entitled to a rebate of
about one-quarter Of the original pur-
chase price.

for Michael. GuilanO, legless Ital-

from his home in Colorado Springs a

intended coming to Denver to earn
living by selling papers. Aversion

were severed above the knees. For
weeks he hovered between life and
death, but he finally pulled through,
and since has been hobbling about on

GROUP QUICKLY CURED.
Don't Let the Child Choke to Death
While Waiting for the Doctor.

Group should have prompt treat
ment. The life of many a dear one
has been sacrificed because the right
remedy was not at hand.
Pay close attention to the child who
is feverish, thirsty and occasionally
coughs dryly and shrilly. This is the
first stage of Group, and instant treat
ment should be given.
Hyomei, the miraculous, antlseptic
dry air treatment, will cure Group in
either the first or second stages.
Easily inhaled, even when the breath
ing is irregular, it reaches more
promptly than any other remedy the
terribly inflamed membrane Of the
windpipe. Its soothing balsams act
Immediately, the Inflammation Is al
layed. and the swelling reduced.
"Not long ago our little boy Wal
ter. awoke in the night with bad at
tack of Group, so that he experienced
great difficulty in breathing. We al
lowed him to inhale Hyomei, and he
Immediately began to breathe easier,
and in half an hour was fast asleep.
Our children, being subject to Group,
we feel safe with Hyomel in the
house, and I am glad to speak a good
word for a remedy that will rob Group
Of its terrors." Rev. Geo. Sisson,
pastor of NJ f. church, South Lon

Is guaranteed by Tallman e. Co. to
cure catarrh, coughs, colds, asthma,
bronchitis and Group, or money back.

hard rubber pocket inhaler costs only

CHANCES FOR THE REFoRmERs.
Old Printer Points Out Where Real
- Good Might Be Done.

did you ever think" said IN old
printer, that we really notice only
the upper halves of the letters? The
lower halves are In many cases only
tho stems. the remainders Of orna-
mental f1ourishes which have been
gradually reduced in size and length
and are now meaningless. Take. for
instance, the heading Of a paper. Cover
up with Z blank sheet tho lower half
Of the letters, and even II you did
not know what they were you would
have no difficulty in reading the words.
Now, reverse the process and cover
the upper half and if you did not know
tho W6rds it would be impossible to
make: out tie letters. This fact 10
even more plainly seen in the case of
the Roman letters used for headlines.
An L might be mistaken for an l. but
nearly all the other letters are so
plainly indicated by the shape Of the
upper half that the lines mey be read
without difficulty In their zeal for
reform and economy the advocates of
the new spelling might make this idea
useful and instead of .abolishing a few
letters in 4 few words they might cut
of tho lower quarter or half OF every
letter and 80 save rs per cent."-St
