Don't Experiment
With Catarrh

you take IS difficult. when the
throat and nose are so clogsed up
with offensive mucus that you are
constantly hawking and splitting in
an endeavor to clear your nostrils.
every effort you make to get re-
lief by the use of sprays and
douches is promptly followed by
new accumuladons. so that no
headway whatever is made toward
getting nd of the disease.
Realize that the Catarrh comes
from a germ which infests the
blood. and that the disease can
not exist when these germs are
routed from the blood. The "a
tional and successful treatment.
therefore. is one that reaches the
blood. and cleanses it of every
trace of impurity and nds it of
these tiny Catarrh germs. OF
course, no local remedies can
reach the blood supply. and that
is why Catarrh is not cured by
sprays and lotions.
The one great blood remedy
that has made a wonderful record
is S. S. s., which has been on
sale by drug stores everywhere for
over half century. If you would
be nd of your Catarrh. get a bot
tie of this great old remedy today.

suits, as it has in so many cases.
You will find that you are on the

Repeal Consumption Taxes
First

WASHINGTON, May 24-Chairman
Fordney of the ways and means commit
tee announced in the house today that
committee hearings would be held soon
with the view Of a complete revision Of
the tariff Preceding these hearings. he
said, the committee, beginning next week,
would consider the repeal Of the vari-
Gus consumption taxes.
He introduced a resolution to repeal the
semiluxury taxes and to impose a levy
on costly wearing apparel and many other
articles. Republican members of the com
mittee, he said, had unanimously ap-
proved the measure.
Mr. Fordney criticised the railroad adj
minstration, saying its reduction of
freight rates on many import articles
moving from the Pacific to the Atlantic
coast was a reduction of tax rates and
was ordered by the administration with.
out consulting any other government de
partments. Committee hearings on the
tariff will begin in about a month.

WOMEN ADMITTED TO
REPUBLICAN RANKS
No Distinction Between Them and the
Men in Party Organization De-
tails Left to Each State.

WASHINGTON, May 24-Approval
Of the plan that no separate women S
organizations, except for temporary pur-
poses, be formed within the Republican
party and that women be admitted to
party membership on an equality with
men was voted at the concluding ses-
sion here yesterday of conference of
Republican women with Will H. Hays,
national committee chairman. Details
of the plan, it was decided, viii be
worked out by the women of each state
in conjunction with the party s central
committee.
After considerable discussion at the
general session closing the conference
on the question of party participation
of Independently organized women
clubs, it was agreed that these organ
izations should be given party par
ticipation if recognized by the state
central bodies.
The temporary organization of purely
feminine political clubs was recognized
by the conference as necessary in the
step toward the complete absorption of
The women voters within the party
membership. However, it was agreed
at the meeting that these organizations
should be only temporary.
All states except Mississippi and
Texas were represented by women at
the conference while state chairmen or
their representatives attended from all
states

Each New Unit to Be of s.
600 Kilowatts Capacity
and to Be Operated Con-
tinu0usly - Original In
stallatiOn Too Small =
Eight Units Gradually to
Be Replaced by New Ones

Operations were begun today at the
Vernon power plant of the Connecticut
River Power Co. on an enlargement of
the plant and the installation of elec-
trical units which will increase the ca
pacity of the plant 80 per cent

ward as rapidly as possible, the plan be-
ing to complete the installation in the
next few months.
approximately sl,Oo0,oO0 viii be spent
in this new developments, and the enter
prise viii be financed by the Power Con-
struction Co. of Worcester, Mass, sub
sidiary of the Connecticut River Power
Co. The Power Construction Co.
financed the development on the Der
field river.
The present capacity of the Vernon
plant is 10000 kilowatts continuously,
and the additional units win increase
the capacity by 10000 kilowatts. This
does not mean, however, that the cleo
trical output of the plant viii be in
creased 80 per cent, as there is not a
sufficient flow of water in the Connecti-
cut river to operate the plant at such
capacity.
Practically ever since the plant was
built, however, it has been realized that
the original installation was too small,
and the flow of the river is sufficient to
develop considerably more power than
can be supplied now. Moreover, the en-
tire development is sold and more could
be disposed of.
| 1t is the plan to put in two new units
of 5000 kilowatts capacity each, which
is twice the capacity of each of the pres
ent units, of which there are eight. In
| low water periods the new units will be
used in place of some of the old ones, and
in periods of excess water flow the new
units will be operated in addition to the
old ones.
/ The new units, which already have
been bought, are known as single runner
units, that is. each unit requires one
water-wheel to operate the shaft. The
old units are three runner units, each
requiring three water-wheels to operate
the shaft, the wheels being set one above
another.
1t is the intention of the company to

coming antequated and are not as ef1i-

Brattleboro men and teams will be given

BILL TO PROTECT OUR DYES.
Longworth Measure Proposes Duties
Twice Those Urged by Tariff Board.

WASHINGTON, May 24-Representa-
tive Nicholas Longworth of Ohio intro
duced a bill in the house yesterday in
creasing the tariff duties on dyes and
chemicals. His measure follows the lines
Of a bill prepared by the tariff commits
sion, except that the rates proposed, by
the commission are doubled.
Discussing his bill, Mr.. Longworth said
that it changes the present law in two
important respects 1t little more than
doubles existing duties, and strikes out
the provision that these shall be reduced
yearly by 10 per cent for five years.
Some, he said, think total prohibition of
importation, except under a license, is
necessary. Should the ways and means
committee favor license system, it could
be added to this bill
