pending upon the inquiry whether the
defendant Willard W. Strout. was acting
as agent for Mary j. Frazir. the plain
uf's decedent, in the acquisition OF the
real estate and the management thereof,
or in his own behalf
Thees questions were fully heard by
Charles A. Strout as special master. who
found in favor Of the plaintiff.
The defendant. Strout, excepted to the
findings of fact, marked In the report.
Finding T. and Finding H. because
they were not warranted by the evidence

he cause was then heard on the ex-
ceptions by the Chief Justice, who after
an exhaustive examination of the evil
cence sustained the findings OF the spec

When cold settles IN the bronchial
tubes, with that weakening, tickling
cough, immediate treatment is very
important. The breath seems shorter
because of mucous distractions; usu-
ally feveris present, your head jars with
every cough and your chest may ache.
This is no time for experimenting or
delay-you must get SCOTS Emulsion
at once to drive out the cold which
started the trouble, and it will check
the cough by aiding the healing pro-
cess of the enfeebled membranes.
If you have any symptoms of bron-
chitis, or even stubborn cold, always
remember that SCOTS Emulsion has
been relieving this trouble for forty
years. Its free from alcohol or drugs.
