AIR THAT KILLS GERMS
Your Money Back If Hyomei Doesn't Cure Catarrh, Says
 The Lee & OSgOOd Co.

Don't be stubborn. Don't be preju- diced. There is not a particle of nor phine, cocaine, or any injurious or habit forming drug in Hyomei.
 Give it trial at The Lee & Osgood Co.'s risk. It is made of eucalyptus and other grand antiseptics. It will chase away the misery of cotarrh or any affiiction of the nose and throat in five minutes.
 No stomach dosing - just breathe Hyomei in, it gets at the catarrh germs and kills them all.
 Go to the Lee & Osgood Co. today and ask them for a Hyomei (pro- nounced High-o-me) outfit. It only costs $1.00, and consists of a hard rubber pocket inhaler, which can be carried in vest pocket bottle of Fly omei, medicine dropper, and simple directions for use. Extra bottles soc.
 Leading druggists everywhere sell Hyomei, which is guaranteed to cure catarrh, bronchitis, coughs, colds and sore throat, or money returned.
 If you could go to the Eucalyptus forests of inland Australia you would quickly get rid of catarrh Hyomei brings the identical air of these for ests direct to your home. It is a most wonderful catarrh remedy.

CONFERENCE OF BAPTIST MINISTERS Large Gathering at hrd Baptist Church with Excellent
 Papers-Annual Meeting to be cid at Groton.

1 is too much separated from the rest ot | life he has become too much of an 1 institution and too closely identified with the organization of the church 1 It tends to make him narrow, to lessen | the efficiency of his ministry Of the gospel. The minister should live witt | the people, know their life and sym- | parhize with the conditions of the time | de should acquaint himself with life III l to make him the best kind of a minis- | ter
 A minister should interest himself in al communal affairs, the matters o1 public health, public improvement, in educational and political conditions He should acquaint himself in fife in every phase in city and state and more or less in national affairs. First. he must bring to bear on these conditions the principles of the gospel of Christ. His influence is to be felt as the influence of a minister of Jesus Christ And the minister should speak his mind frankly on all these things.
 Personalities are bound to get in Keep your eye on the principles in Nyolved and deal with man only in his official capacity, not as an indi- viduaL
 I believe that in political matters the minister should take a leading part, and should express his mind. The minister is not a partisan. He must be bigger than a party. He must be prepared and be willing to be crucified. He must be ready for all sorts of at tacks from all sorts of men, from for mer friends and from enemies, and to fight it out on the principles of the gospel.
 The limitations of a minister come in the matter of his holding office. don't believe a minister ought to hold publG office. The minister's greater place is to be the man behind the officer creating public sentiment, push ing ahead the man in the office. What we do want in this state in the house of representatives and the senate are men with Christian vision to lead. want to see men of this type in our city council.
 nn'he minister as a citizen should look toward moulding public righteousness i', evfIy phase of communal affairs. He is Lot getting outside of his own fife by becoming Known as a true, noble. upright citizen, he is laying h1s grasp on the community. The minister should have a part and play it well, play it with strength and efficiency.
 The earnest address of Rev. MT. Wright met with the approval of the other ministers. practically all of whom took part in the discussion which followed, each being allowed a fiye-minute talk. After prayer by Rev. c. A. Ricketts of the Greeneville Con- gregational church. who was welcomed into the meeting early in the after noon. Rev Mir. Brown was the last to be heard and the meeting was ad- journed about 3.30 with benediction pronounced by Rev. William F. New ton.
 It was the understanding that the January meeting, which is the annual session, is to be held at the Groton Heights Baptist church, according to the usual custom.

Folly of the Nations.

France, as well as the United States, England and Germany, is wrestling with a financial deficit; and the gov ernment proposes to cover it with a new tax on brandy, pending the tax on incomes now awaiting considera- tion. The deficit in the French treas ury is by no means as great as that of the United Kingdom or Germany, but it must be met by increased taxes or fresh loans
 All these accumulations of debt and taxes, increasing year by year, are caused by the enormous burdens of army and navy expenditures, which, unless, arrested. must end in financial bankruptcy. No financial act, save that of imposing more taxes. and no appeals to patriotism and national pride can conjure away the danger The peoples of Europe in this misery will be unable to bear the heavy load, and they will shake it off by violence or repudiation if there is no other way of relief.
 Yet, despite peace congresses at The Hague, national expenditures and na- tional debts are increasing to build unused ships of war and maintain i'm mense standing armies of idle men, Philadelphia Record.

Hunting Licenses.

The mere fact that 10000 hunting licenses were taken out in Connecti- cut this year shows that shooting is a fad. There are not that many per sons who love shooting for itself and at the same time have money and leisure to follow it. Certainly there is no place for most of the 10000 tc shoot, because the license carries nothing with it but the right to carry gun. The question of where to shoot depends on others. The man with a gun may belong to . club over the land of which he has a right to shoot. or he may pay some land owner for the privilege of shooting over his land. Very commonly he does neither of these things, but goes out and be- comes trespasser. at the best, and a deliberate poacher at the worst This latter type makes the most of the trouble.
 At the present rate it will not be many years before there is no more free shooting in Connecticut than there is in England, perhaps not so much, for some provision for that is said to be made there, as there cer- tainly Is some for free fshing.-Hart- ford Times.

$5s,ooo in HahHour.

The climax of Senator McNeil's in- vestment came last Thursday when he cleaned up $53,0o0 in less than half an hour. A United States government report was made public showing that the cotton crop was the smallest since the civil war, and cotton jumped s3 a bale. Then Senator McNeil sold some more.
 Prior to this time he had turned into cash, holdings of cotton to the extent of $250,000. It was generally be- lieved by his friends that he was through and the fact that he had more cotton was a surprise. Wether he has sold out all his holdings now is not known, for he refuses to discuss the subject. Friends say, however, that they do not believe that he has held any considerable quantity.

NANCE DWELL INVOLVED
 IN INTERESTING LAWSUIT
Mckee Rankin Claims He Has Full Right to Her Services by Contract.

The following from Sundays New York Review is of interest. as it con- cerns Nance O'Neil, the tragedienne, who was one season under the man. agement of Ira w. Jackson:
 Mckee Rankin, frienw, philosopher, and guide of Nance O'Neil for so many years. and sponsor of her acting career, announces that he will bring suit against the actress to annul the contract which she has entered into with David Belasco, on the ground that he holds a good and valid con- tract for the exclusive services of Miss O'Neil; that he made the con- tract for the actress with the Shu- berts and that he has never abrogated it. Papers in the new suit will be filed immediately and a pretty legal hattie is e---e-4~.i -.io in which
 revelations of sensational na- ture will unoOuOevu4y Oe made de- clares Col Henry l. Kowalsky, who is Rankin's attorney.
 Everyone in the theatrical world knows that 1t was Mckee Rankin who introduced Nance O'Neil in San Fran cisco, and introduced her to the stage world. She was then Lillian Lamson, a big, awkward, ungainly girl, abso- lutely untutored in the art of acting, with but little to recommend her to a dramatic impresario except temper ament and passion for elocution.
 According to Rankin, it was Tom Barry, a Boston attorney, who had once been his personal adviser and friend, who is primarily responsible for Miss O'Neil's assertion of himself just at the moment when it seemed that he would realize his ambition to establish her as a star. Rankin claims that he stands ready to fulfil his part of the contract which he holds with Miss O'Neil and present her as a star in suitable play in this city, but that she has been induced to seek employ ment with the Saintly David in the minor capacity of leading lady of a stock company, belittling her artistic standing and value as a star He re- gards Miss O'NeiPs engagement by Belasco as a serious business mistake on her part as well as a breach of con- tract with himself
 Within a few weeks Rankin, who is a member of the company supporting Dustin Farnuhl in Cameo Kirby, and who has made the greatest acting hit of his career, in the role he is play ing, will be in New York, and there will be some animated legal proceed ings in the matter.

There were a number from this sec- ton of the city at the Preston City Baptist church on Sunday morning last, where Mrs. Frank A. Roath gave an interesting address on Missions.
