WAY FOR OLD MASTERS.
Delay for importers IN Future I'm
likely, Says Customs Official.

All the difficulties in the way of the admission
free of duty OF paintings more than twenty years
old were said yesterday to have been removed
Many thousands of dollars worth OF pictures are
still being held up, but these came to this port
before the Treasury Department established new
ruling giving Collector Loeb authority to pass upon

washington One of the government officials
said yesterday:
when paintings are sent TO this country blank
must be filed out and sworn to before the United
States Consul at the place OF shipment. This re-
quires statement Of the approximate time OF the
production OF the work Of art, the name OF the
artist by whom and from whom acquired and the
time when this occurred. There is qualification
in the instructions however. 10 the effect that III
the shipper or seller is not in possession of all
such facts he may state in lieu thereof such other
facts as may be in his possession tending to show
that such works OF art have been in existence for
more than twenty years
ION this side of the water the importer must
make an affidavit identifying himself. and saying
that he has investigated the origin of such works
of arts and verify believe, the to have been in
existence for than twenty years prior TO their
importation. There would have been no hOld-ups
If il had not been for the requirement of applying
Washington for a final decision. Before the new
ruling all paintings certified as maybe TWEEN
ty years old and it put up to Washington
Now Collector Loeb. passes on the decision. and
there may be a few maybes' but only If the an
praiser is actually in doubt. If the declarations
which are in Washington awaiting decision were
sent back to the Appraisers Stores the chances
that many would go through with a rush
'If the appraiser is N doubt. which is likely To
be the when copy is imported. there is bound
TO be. delay. The appraisers must be very careful
for there is much opportunity for attempts at
fraud. and If they should be careless there would
be a big boom in fake old masters"

New Asylum Will Unite The County.

One most cOmmendable phase of the
effect as an influence for unity in
Wood County. The location of the
asylum al Marshfield will undou btedly
end all effort to divide the county and
to large extent ailay the antagonis
tic feeling between the north and
south ends Of the county. With the
county seat at Grand Rapids and the
asylum at this city the division of
benefits from county institutions is
nearly equal and should be salts

city of Grand Rapids and the several
towns of he County have been con-
cerned, until such time as MarShtield,
as city, became large enough to de-
clare itself in favor of new County,

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumb1ing sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing Will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out OF ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inf1amed
condition of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
