COUGHED CONSTANTLY
Day and Night-NYan Says Nothing
 Helped But VinOl.

That statement does not surprise us. We have told the people of New Britain many times during the last ten years that Vinol is the greatest remedy for chronic coughs and colds that we ever sold. MT. Cunning says:
 "I took a heavy cold which settled into a chronic cough. It seemed as as though I coughed continually day and night, so I could not sleep. I was all rundown and so weak l could hardly keeep about. I tdied different cough medicines but seemed to get worse instead of better. I went to the drug store and got a bottle of Vino1. Before it was half gone I was better and it's continued use cured my cough, built me up and I am feeling fine Benj. Cunning, POS Tenth Ave-, Scranton, Pa.
 Vinal is nat palliative like cough syrups, but it is a constitutional rem edy for coughs, colds and bronchitis which removes the cause ana stops the cough, and the recovery or r. Cunning was due to the beef and cod lived peptones, iron and manganese peptonates and glycerphosphates which are contained in V1nol.

 Among the new names which these matches have placed at the head of the list of American rifemen are those of John J. Andrews, sergeant, U s. Marine corps, who won the Wimbledon match, his first big event although he has shot on victorious teams and has finished 'in the mon ey'' in individual matches, and Cap tain Pruessner of the Iowa outfit, winner of the Marine corps cup, not to mention Captain Fay of the Ma rine corps, victor in the presidents match.
 The National Rifle association matches have also brought into prom thence many civilian shots, who while they won none of the big events, made scores which prove them to pos sess those qualities which will ulti- mately make of them finished sol diers and dangerous competitors in future matches.
 One of the most sensational events of the meeting was the firing of a string of fifty-t three bulls eyes straight by Lieutenant Clyde F. Bra den of the West Virginia National Guard. This performance is, so far as is known here, the worlds record for the distance at which they were shot-600 yards.

DEMURRAGE TOO HIGH
Interstate Commerce Commission
 Freight Cars by ''New Haven"
Special to the Herald. )

Especial to the Herald)
 Washington, D. C., Oct. 27.-The New Haven railroad will not be all lowed to impose a demurrage charge of s6 per day on freight cars used by shippers beyond the free time granted by the regular demurrage rules until after the interstate commerce com- mission has thoroughly investigated the matter.
 The commission has announced that it suspended from October 26 until April 26, 1917, certain items in New Haven railroad tariffs which contain q proposed new rule for the assess nlent of additional demurrage charges on cars held in transit or on storage tracks at destination. During the next six months the commission will make a careful investigation of the question.
 The regular demurrage charge is $1 per car per day. The suspended pro- vision is for 8 $5 per day additional charge on cars on public delivery tracks, private sidings or industrial in- terchange tracks. It would take effect, if the commission permits, after the expiration of five days following the placement of the car at the point ordered designated or agreed upon. That would make a demurrage charge of $6 per day.
 The provision was suspended be- cause of protests from Boston and other New England shipping interests.
 The treasury departments has pro- mulgated regulations drafted to carry out the provisions of the new law for a tax on munitions of war, There are many munitions manufac- tories in New England; consequently the regulations may be of interest in that section.
