A .URE FOR BRONCHITIS
We Have Been Selling in New Britain for Many Years
 Remedy We Guarantee

Please read the following letter and we promise if you buy a bottle of Vinol from us and are the least bit dissatisfied, we will cheerfully return your money
 Woodstock, III. "I suffered from bronchitis, had very bad cough and a pain in my chest, was weak and tired all the time. It seemed almost impossible for me to go on with my work. I tried different remedies with out benefit, also cough medicines, but my druggist recommends Vinol, and 1t gave me almost instant relief. It's continued use cured my bronchitis and built me up so that I feel like a different man." Charles Bolts.
 The reason that cough syrups fail in such cases is because they are palliative only while Vinol removes the cause. being a constitutional rem edy in which are combined beef and cod liver peptones. iron and man ganese peptonates and glycerophos- phates. It strengthens and .reVitaliZes the entire system and assists nature to expel the disease. Our faith in Vinol is shown in the above offer.

States Attorney Admits Wife, Murderer is Hopeless ParanoiaC COURT NAMES COMMISSION
Plainville Slayer Will Not Face Trial Before Jury-Doctors Consider His Case Incura bEe-BOnney Resigns as Instructor--Typhoid Checked

Y
 That Joseph Salerno, held in the Hartford jail pending disposition of the charge of wife murder for which he was indicted last week, is hopeless ly insane and in all probability will never face jury to answer for his crime. was admitted today by States S Attorney Hugh M Alcorn, who ex pressed the opinion that the confessed slayer will probably be transferred to the Connecticut Hospital for Insane. Acting on MT. Alcorns suggestion Judge John H. Webb, who is presiding at the Decem Der term of the superior court, has appointed Drs. Thompson, Emmett and Fisher to act as a com mission in formally ruling as to the murderer's sanity. They will make a report to the court, probably in a few days and it is expected that they will advise that the prisoner be committed to the state hospital
 According to reports of physicians who have had Salerno under observa- tion in the Jail, where he has been confined since he was bound over by Justice Condell, the man is mentally unbalanced and his condition is be- lieved to be such that he will never recover. While he is seemingly sane at times. the doctors declare the slayer to be a paranoiac and the states at- torney expects that the commission appointed to inquire as to his mental condition will chara cterize him as such in making it's report to the court.
 Under the statutes Salerno will be kept in the asylum for life unless he l,> would be taken before jury on the indictm ent of first degree murder re- turned by the grand jury and would be formally tried. Should the evidence show that he was insane when the murder took place but that he was sound mentally at the time of his trial a verdict for his acquittal would be returned and he would regain his liberty the Connecticut laws making it impossible to keep a man confined, after his reason has been restored, for a crime for which he was irresponsible at the time of it's commitment. MT. Alcorn does not anticipate such a contingency, however , doctors, who have examined the slayer, having diagnosed his case incurab1e,
 The lack of a shred of evidence to show any reason for the murder made IL appear 1lon ''ie HiSt 'lletl HodlSi no was insane. The fendish manner in which he committed the crime and his lingering over the body of his victim while her life's blood flowed from the fatal razor slash served to strengthen the theory that the man was mentally unbalanced His actions at the hOspi- tai while he was being treated for the wounds which he inflicted on himself in an effort to end his own life also proved to the satisfa ction of the phy- sicians that his mind was affected. They had sufficient opportunity to de- tect any signs of shaming and they re- ported to the states attorney that he

Miss Laura Smith, daughter of Mrs John B. Smith, left today for New York from which port she will sail on Friday of this week for the mis- k@lonary fields of Africa. Miss Smith has been home from that country for the. past four years and previous to this trip had already made two voy- kages in the interests of the Christian faith. She will be unaccompanied on her trip. Miss Smith will act as g. substitute on the teaching staff at Lovedale, Cape Colony, which is con- dueted by the Scotch Presbyterian Mission Board A close personal friend has found it necessary to have leave of absence and Miss Smith I will re-enter the field to take her place
 Miss Smiths previous experience & will be of great aid to her in her present school work and she has anX- iously awaited the time for her depar- ! turs. On both former occasions of her ! mission work she was under the American Mission Board. Her first work in the mission field covered a period of five years after which she | returned home for five years but only ] to take another trip to Africa, this
 time. staying for seven years. Miss Smith was born in East Hartford and
 was educated in the schools of New #Britain where she graduated from T the High school. Her training for ] the work in foreign fields was ob-
 tained at Oberlin college, Ohio and 1t was imm ediately after graduating
 that she sailed. Miss Smith has all
 ways met with great success in her i pasttventures.

ORIENTAL LACQUER.
Japan Got the Art From China, Then
Surpassed Her Tutor.

Surpassed Her Tutor.
Lacquer has furnished most varied
material for one of the earliest indus
trial arts of China, and though there
are no authentic records Of it's origin
nor of the steps of its early develop
ment, the process is already called an
ancient one i'll work published in
1887, in the first year of the Ming pc
Rod, which proves that the art was
known in as remote an epoch as the
Sung dynasty. The eliminating years
OF Its development were reached in the
reign of the Emperor Chen Lung QT36
e5), who greatly encouraged its manu-
facture and had large quantities Of
lacquoreA objects made with which to
furnish and decorate his palace. After
his death the art seems to have de
clned in merit. and since that time lit
tie or nothing of any high artistic value
in Chinese lacquer has been accom-
plished.
The japanese first learned the proc
esS from China, but have since brought
1t to a point of perfection which sur
passes the finest productions Of the
Chinese. La Japan, however, lacquer is
applied solely to objects of compare
lively small size. while in the Chinese
empire it served to decorate screens
and panels of tremendous Dimensions.
Lacquer is divided into two classes
painted and carved lacquer. Both kinds
are sometimes inlaid with mother-of-
pearl, ivory, jade and various semi
precious stones.
1t was in the early seventeenth CEN
fury, when Holland and Portugal be-
gan their trade with the remote east,
and particularly with China, that mar
Vicious empire teeming with so many
extraordinary artistic manifestations,
that Europe first began to realize the
new and vast field of decorative ele-
ments which were contained in and re.
yealed to her artists by oriental art

MRS. |. H. SHEARER.

Sunday about 6 o'clock, p. m, Mrs.
J. II. Searer died, at her residence 3O9
w. Pine. About her dying bed were
her husband, and all eight of her liv-
ing children. For several years her
health had been bad, she suffered
much, and death was relief from all
mortal pain.
Mrs. Shearer was born May 10, 1848
and united with the Methodist church
during the summer of 1865, at Bethel
church, near Athen, Tenn. At Athens
Tenn, Oct. q, 1865, John H. Shearer,
and Miss Pairlee Bonner, were united
in the sacred bonds of matrimony
and she lived as his faithful wife for
little more than half century.
Two of the children which blessed
this union died early in life, and the
following eight Children survive her:
J. F. Shearer, Willacooche, Ga, Mrs.
w. G. Burnes, Hiawassee, Ga, Mrs.
f. H. Norton, Alapaha, Ga, Mrs. M.
Cabett, Willacoochee, Ga, B. L. Shear
er, Fitzgerald, Ga, o. F. Shearer,
Alapaha, Ga, H. V. Shearer, Thomas
vile, Ga, and Fred Shearer Fitzger-
aid Ga. These with the fond husband
and twenty-five grandchildren are left
to mourn her loss.
1t is difficult to fully estimate a
life, because we know SO little about
the depth Of human experience, but it
is good to know that Mrs. Shearer had
the pleasure of knowing that she as
sisted in winning her husband to the
church, and several of her children.
For many years, in fact, as long as she
was able after taking up family pray
er, she kept the fires burning on the
family altar, and this fact speaks vol
umes of love, Christian conservation.
and devotion to duty.
After being a member of the church
below for more than fifty years, we
belive she has been translated to the
Church above. May her husband,
children and grandchildren, follow her
as she followed Christ.
The funeral service was conducted at
her late residence, Sunday afternoon.
/ O'Clock, by her pastor, L. A. Hill,
and the remains were taken to A1apa-
ha for interment awaiting the resur-
rection of the faithful.

THE CIRCULATION OF MONEY

From The New York Evening MaiD
A man made $25 of loose, surplus
unearned increment by putting poor
quality in a case of soldiers shoes he
shipped abroad AS he had lots more
money, made the same way, he gave
the SIS to head waiter to reserve a
table for New Years eve.
The headwaiter gave the SIS to his
wife, who handled his finances, and
she used $24.95 of it to pay the head
walters income tax
The income tax will be devoted to
supporting the navy to stand off some
country that dosen't like us any more
because we made poor shoes for its
soldiers.
AS for the odd nickel, that is still in
escrow, as it were, and will be thus for
another generation or two, when the
son of the headwiater will throw it
to the grandson of the shoe manufac-
turer as a start toward nights lodg-
ing.
Money always goes somewhere.

At II a. M, the morning hour, the
Pastor, Rev. L. A. Cooper, spoke to
a capacity congregation upon "The

power in Prayer, Service and Infu-
ence.
A convincing illustration was Civ

President Wilson with clear and tel

Seated one day in BARRIERS chair
he was suddenly and subtly conscious
that a personality had entered the
room. Recognizing the atmospheric
change, he listened to the conversation
which ensued The personality was
the immortal Dwight l. Moody, unat-
tractive in appearance, untaught in
schools, but whose richness of spirit
in the Abiding Relation With Christ
was so real that he could not
remain for a few moments in a bar
