To detect heaves and bronchial troubles, ride or drive the horse in a fast trot for a half mile. Bring to quick stop and hold the head high and press your ear against the wind pipe. The breathing should be regular and without effort. If a hissing sound or rattling can be heard, 1t Is due to heaves or serious throat troubles.

had an effect upon our industries out of all proportion to the actual value of the imports, for the manufacturing establishments in this country which used these dyes employ more than 2,000,000 workers and many of the factories have been forced to run on half time or even less.
 "The increase in the prices of some of the dyes can only be compared with the astonishing increase in the prices of shares in some of the war bride stocks. For instance, patent blues have registered the astonishing advance from sixty cents to SPA a pound. Other dyes which formerly sold for twenty five cents a gallon now bring SIP.
 Since 1893 the United States has produced only about twenty per cent of the dyes needed in domestic manu- factures." '''.

THE TWO BILLS.
(Ansonia Sentinel )

We regret to hear that the two most distinguished Bills in the democratic party of the Naugatuck valley are in hostile mood, one to another. A river of doubt, not to say bitterness, flows between them. In fact one Bill goes so far as to say that, for the most unkind sidewinder his brother Bill recently landed, he intends to have satisfaction with interest well com pounded. We trust fervently that the feud may be settled without political mayhem.
 As chronicled by the veracious re- porter of the Waterbury Republican Hon. William E. Thoms of the Brass City cherishes a red hot grudge against his compeer in politics, Hon. William E. Kennedy of Naugatuck. The last named by diligence and fore thought corraled enough delegates, before the Brass City gentleman woke up, to assure him the position of delegate at large to the democratic national convention neatly sewed Lp, signed, sealed and all but delivered. The net result was that Hon. MT. Thoms did not get what he expected to get without labor aEd, rejecting with scorn a mere district dologatcship he sits back and notifies the world that Hon. Bill Kennedy of down the valley will get his with trimmings when the right occasion arrives. The Hon. Bill of Naugatucl1 says nothing and lies low.
 The services of Brother Bryan and his famous peace panacea seems to be sorely needed about twelve miles north of us at this juncture. If not we con- fidentIy expect to sec fragments of tho political body of the Naugatuck gen. tleman scattered all over the adjacent landscape, when the Brass City man unlimbers and goes into action.

The Boom in Dixie Land.
Waterbury Republican,

One must be impressed these days when reading the reports of the Man ufacturers Record on the progress of the south with the extent of new in dustrial development there. From Virginia to Alabama there is evidence of great activity and the additional capital employed and the new build ings projected, or being completed, are so great that 1t is seen at q glance that the conditions of busi- ness in the south today arc not only prosperous but most promising as well.
 One of the sulphur companies in Texas is now increasing the power of it's plant to 36.000 horsepower. for merly 13,000 h.p., and it's output when these plans are completed will be 6OO,OO0 tons of surphur annually. At Graceville. Fla, a new $1,O0O, QUO concern is about to begin the manu- facture of car couplers. At Steele's Mills, Rockingham N. C., improve ments are about to be made which will add 17.0O0 spindles to the plant and 1000 looms, and at Gastonla, IN. C., a new mill with $500 splndleS IS about to spin cotton yarn. several e,,a11or mills and additions to old
 
 North Carolina and besides the cot ton mills one finds hosiery factories gas and lum Der and grapefruit and gasoline and packing house and struc- t11ral iron and various other indus trial plants planned and under con- structfon which must furnish new employment for thousands of hands and add greatly to the prosperity and prestige of the entire south.
 This development is fine for the country at large. It will have a tendency for a time to cause sorne shifting of labor and other conditionS throughout northern states and per haps in the west also, but it will be benenc1al generally to all parts of the country, as long as business con- ditions in the south are prosperous and money not too expensive.
 It suggests that the south will grow more and more to understand the New England attitude toward the tariff as it gets to be more and more fond of industrial enterprise in factory as we'll as in field and more and more familiar with the com mercial conditions throughout the world that make for or against pro- ftable business conditions and fair wages. That a better appreciation of the value of a protective tariff to in- dustry exists in the south today than did a few years ago cannot be doubt ed, and as industries expand and in

"AU Steel C2rS.'
(KnickerbOcker Press.)

'Why don't the railroads imme- diately replace all their wooden pas senger coaches with alI-steel cars |? Why isn't there some statute court order, or decree of a commission compelling them to retire the wood- en cars imm mediately? Well, dear cri- tic, if you happen to have $28,7S7,1OO in your upper right hand vest pocket, just hand it over to the railroads, and they will doubtless be delighted to comply with your wishes. That is what it would cost to replace the wooden cars with steel.
 "On December 31 last. there were 61.72S passenger cars in service on the railroads of the United States Of these 41,382 were wooden cars Of the others. 14,286 were all steel and 6,060 had steel underframes Within three years 6,744 wooden cars have been retired from service, and of these 2.130 were retired last year.
 At this rate. it would take 9 years to get rid of all the wooden cars, but progress will be acceler- ated as time passes. For example, there were in 1909 only 629 all- steel cars. while now there are more than 1A000. Last year 1,250 all steel cars were acquired: and only 96 of wood, while of 1,094 cars un- der construction, January 1, last, only three were of wood.
 Annual interest charges on the sum needed to replace the wooden cars with steel would amount, at five per cent. to S26,439,355. The railroads are doing what thev can, but they cannot do everything at once Sometimes the public forgets the immensity of their problems"
