catarrh or not;
Offensive breath, frequent sneez-

mage of the nose, husklness OF the
voice, tickling in throat, droppings
in throat, cough, pain in chest,
loss of strength, variable Appetite
spasms of coughing, low spirited at
times, rising Of mucous difrlculty

High-o-me) which is vaporized ar.
so antiseptlc that when it is breathed
over the inflamed and germ-infested
membrane, 1t kills all germ life, gives
relief in two minutes, and cures
catarrh
The price, including hard rubber

on each pound weighed.
During last June, State Inspector
John Kleinhans inspected lab wagon
scales in the ten largest cities of the
state and found 49, or 81 per cent OF
them "off" from ten pounds to l76
pounds to the ton. The owners OF
these scales did not know that their
scales we're weighing wrong. In
some instances the scales under
weighed but those instances were
very rare. Low corners caused 80
per cent of the condemned scales 20
weigh inaccurately while 20 per
cent of the bad ones were worn out.
The only way to find out whether
scales are accurate or not is to try
them with tested weights.

you may have noticed the proprietor
or a clerk using a scale weight in

1900 pounds, or six barrels a day

gives the dishonest miller profit Of

VALUABLE PORTRAITS
 COMING TO CONNECTICUT.
Those of Four United States Chief Justices Purchased by Senator
 Brandegee.

Washington. May 13.-The four DOT traits of Chief Justices Marshall, Fancy, Chase and Waite. of the Su- preme Court of the United States. re- gently purchased by Senator Brande- gee, and presented to the State of Connecticut, have been sent to the State capitol by express and will prob ably arrive in a couple of days. The portraits are fine oil paintings, and were formerly the property of Daniel w. Middleton, clerk of the Supreme court.
 These four pictures were offered to the United States. and the Senate committee on the Library reported in favor of their purchase. They were offered to the government for $S,000 by the son of the original owner. but it was found that four similar DOT ernment and in the retiring room of the Supreme court. The ones in the possession of the government are not so fine as the ones purchased by Sen ator Brandegee; in fact, it looks as though the latter were the originals and the others were copies.
 The Senate refused to buy the pie lures. and MT. Middleton offered to sell them to Senator Brandegee. who is known as an art collector and !udge of fine pictures. The Senator liked the pictures and finally bought them at a price somewhat below the original figures. Senator BTandegee then presented them to the State of Connecticut. through Governor Weeks, and the pictures will probably be hung either in the State capitol or in the new State library. Senator Brande- gee secured the pictures in competi- tion with other prospective purchasers notably the Bar Association of New York. and they will be a valuable ad- dition to the art works already owned by the State

TARIFF FIGHT ON AGAIN WITH TAFT
 IN OPPOSITION

Washington, May 13-Representative Sereno E. Payne of New York. has opened a tariff debate in the House which will eventually define the tariff issue as it will be fought out in the coming Congressional campaign. Rep 1esentative Champ Clark, the Demo- cratic leader in the House, is expected tc reply to MT. Payne, and Represen- tative F'ordney of Michigan. another .'stand-pat'' Republican, will follow Mir. Payne in deferce of the Payne act. The debate is expected to last the re- mainder of the week and may run well into next week. the basis of it being a provision in the Sundry Civil Appro- IsriatioE bill now before the House which carries an appropriation of $250, eco to enable the tariff board to ascer- tain the cost of production here and abroad with a view Of a scientific re- vision of the tariff later.
 At the outset of the debate it was evident that the Republican party is again split on a measure favored by the President, this time the leaders of the House. with the exception of Speaker Cannon Representatives Smith and TaWney. and some of the minor lights, are 'insurging" against the provision wanted by the President. The President is strongly in favor of the passage of the appropriation. and has conferred with Representative Nicholas Longworth, of Ohio. who, it is understood, will reply during the zell, and Fordney. as the spokesman of the administration.
 In all probability the Democrats will oppose the appropriation almost unap- imously on the ground that it is de- vised by Republican leaders at this platform promises in the Payne tariff bill
