The HYOMEI vapor treatment is es- pecially recommended in stubborn cases of chronic catarrh of long stand ing, but remember that the inhaler should be used daily as usual.

Pour scant teaspoonful of Booths HYO- MET into a kitchen bowl of boiling water. cover head and bowl with towel and breathe for several minutes the vapor that arises.
 You will be surprised at the results of this treatment; 1t makes the head l feel fine and clear.

REALTY AND BUSINESS.
More Sales Here Last Week, But
 Loans Were Less.

Last week Norwich had six sales of real estate, to four a year ago. while the mortgage loans show the marked difference of s5.700 and $26.040 for the respective weeks.
 The number of real estate transac- tions in the state towns reported in the Commercial Record for the current week is somewhat less than for the same week of the previous year, the BOT sales for the week comparing with 325 year ago, while the amount of the mortgage loans, $753,997. is about $35,- 900 greater than last year.
 But one petition in bankruptcy is reported for the week in this state, withliabilities several times the amount of assets. The record is not as good as previous years, the last week in September aS a rule making very favorable sowing in years past.
 The six new interpretations in the state for the week have average cap italization of about $40, 1000, which com pares very favorably with previous records.
 The record of building permits grant ed in the four cities of New Haven, Bridgeport, Hartford and Waterbury during the week shows very consid- erable falling off The total of the permits issued is S6, against 113 last year and 7S in 1910, while the cost of the buildings for the week is $327, ,S96, against $61S19S in 1911 and $261, in 1910. Last year the totals for the week in both New Haven and Hartford were unusually large.
