Catarrh and Sinus
Trouble Left Him
Druggist Clark Telling Customers How
He Got Wen. Costs Nothing to Try.

~ was bothered for years with ca
tarrh and sinus trouble, but feel / am
now completely well after using Sniff.
/ have recommended it to my custo-
mers, and have received many thanks
from them and praise for what it has
done ."-John Clark (druggist), 1857
Shelby ST., Indianapolis.
Sniff is an antiseptic powder, shifted
into the nose, without internal dosing.
It is mild, pleasant, and no bother at
all to use, but the way 1t penetrates
the stuffed up nostrils and brings re-
lief has amazed thousands Of diseogr=
aged catarrh sufferers. 1t positively
stops the discharges and droppings,
makes breathing free and easy, and
soon ends the headaches and all other
catarrhal symptoms.
1t costs nothing to try Sniff and find
out what it can do for you. The com
plete treatment may be had for ST from
any druggist; or by mail from Dr.. G.
d%ianapolis. Try it for two weeks, and
If not fully satisfied and convinced,
return it to DR.. ~Cleaveland and your
money will be promptly refunded,-Ad-
vertisement.

HIGH WINDS CAUSE BIG
 DISTURBANCE IN VT.
House Is WhirIed About. Earn Knocked Down and Bridge
 Destroyed.

Rrattleh 0ro, Vt, July 1S-From South Londonderry, following a re- sumption of telephone service, came reports yesterday of considerable damage in the upper end of the West River Valley by the thunderstorm of Thursday night. The strangest fea- turo of the storm was in Peru, where the wind, which was in the nature of "tWister" lifted George Rush S house off its foundation and turned it around. Mrs. Rush, who was in the kitchen, was hurled against the stove and several of her ribs were broken. Mir. Rush's barn was blown down, but his horse and COW. which were Tn the Farn, were not injured. Lee Gales chickens were blown some distance from their GOODS and were unable to return until the storm had suhsided. A number Of trees and silos were leveled.
 At Jamaica a covered highway bridge between the village and the West River railroad station was lift od off its ahutments and thrown into the river, where 1t completely flat tened out. It was more than 100 feet long.
 A few telephone lines in Brattle- boro were put out of commission and about three-quarters of an inch of rain fell, but the damage here was negligible.

ROAD BLOCKED BY CARS
 FIRE DEPT. HELD UP
And in Meantime Born is Burned to Ground Near North
 Adams, Mass,

North Adams, July l8,-Flre Of unknown origin shortly after 10 o'clock last night destroyed g barn on the farm of John Luczynski on the back road in Clarksburg. Mir. and Mrs. Luczynski were in North Adams and there were three small children at home.
 Margaret, s years old. discovered the fire and ran barefootel in her night dress to the nearest neighbor's house about an eighth of d mile away and gave the alarm. Help was asked from the North Adams fire department and a chemical engine was sent, but because the road was blocked by about 800 autoists who had seen the glare in the sky and preceded the fire trucks, the fire men could not get near the house as the road is so narrow that two cars cannot pass,
 The firemen formed bucket brigade and aided by ncighbors saved the house. There was no stock in the barn as the owner had turn ed his COWS and horses out to pas ture before leaving for the city. He had about six tons of new hay and this was lost, The loss is about s. 0oQ, with $35O insurance.

TRIES T0 MEASURE
 SPEED OF LIGHT
Dr.. NichaeISon Hopes to EIimi.
 nate Error in Estimate

Pasadena. Calif, July 1i Pt-Dr 4. A. Nicholson, head of inc depart mcnt of physics of the University Of Chicago, declared yesterday that if his present experiments are success ful, inc margin of doubt regarding the speed Of light will be reduced 10 as low as one mile per second. He IS president of the National Academy Of Sciences. The figures obtained would be close enough for almost any scientific purpose.
 The nearcs. accurate result fixes the speed Of light at 1S6,5oo miles per second, which he says is unques- tionably within % mles a second of the correct figure.
 Although confined to his bed here as Inc result of a major operation undergone about six months ago, Dr. Nicholson is continuing his eXperi- ments through his assistant Fred Pearson.
 A renecting mirror on Mount Paldy, 22 miles away from Mount Wilson, Is being used and Dr. Mich elson is being given complete coop eration hy the staff of scientists of the Carnegie observatory on Mount Wilson.
 Plans are being made to Use Mount Jacinto. % miles distant, for fur ther experiments. This will depend, however, upon the success of the present efforts Heretofore eXperl- ments have been conducted over dis tanccs of not more than four or five miles.
 Dr Nicholson stated that the practical value of this computation of the speed of light vas in its use hy scientific men in the field of as tronomy and other scientific research through the measurement of dis tance
