° LIBERTY i silky Long Cut ki Contains no loose, hard stems like LIBERTY comes only in long, silky shreds, be- cause only long, unbroken leaf is used in making it. That means LIBERTY is a real long cut. And LIBERTY is ab- solutely free from loose, hard stems—they’re picked out by hand. That means LIBERTY is real tobacco. LIBERTY packs right down into your pipe for a cool, slow- burning smoke. Or rolls into a wad of juicy sweetness for a husky, lasting, man-size chew. LIBERTY is made of full- bodied, full-flavored Kentucky tobacco. And the ageing we give this rich leaf —up to five years — puts a satisfying relish into LIBERTY that just suits "hearty chewers and smokers from the ground up.

While the caucus is stood by the dem- ocratic members of the finance com- mittee in their revision of the house bill, one important change which will cause considerable disappointment to those in favor of a entific revision of the tariff was made by the caucus. This was to reduce to $7,500 each the salaries to be paid to merghers of the permanent Tariff Commisston which the hill creates. The house had provided salaries for the Tariff Commissioners of that amount, but, in response to consider- | able sentiment for more liberal treat- ment, the democratic members of the senate finance committee recommend- ed to the caucus that the salary of each commissioner he $10,000. restored the lower house figure. It was expected that the caucus of Alabama, author of the present tariff law, promised a determined fight to defeat the Tariff Commission and the dvestuffs schedule. He had indicated that he would endeavor to have these provisions eliminated from the bill on the ground that the Tariff Commission was not necessary, and that the proposed duties on dyestuffs recognized the protection principle to which the democratic party was op- posed. Much to the surprise, his fellow senators, Mr. did not attend to the caucus, and there no contest worthy of the name over the provisions to which he objected The provision creating a Tariff Commission was amended, on mo- tion of Senator Hoke Smith of Geor- gia, so as to restrict the commission from renting office quarters for more than two vears. Senator Smith's ac- tion was construed to mean that he was not in sympathy with the idea of making the commission a permanent body. however, of Underwood was Dycstuff Tariff. The dyestuff section of the bill, as proposed by the finance committee, approved with a proviso offered v the committee that the dutles fixed should not effective until the iropean war The duties on dyes s incorporated in the amended bill are Two and one-half cents a pound specific duty and 15 per cent. ad valorem duty on intermediate dyes; 5 cents a pound specific duty and 30 per cent. ad va- Jorem duty on finished dyes, with the exception of natural indigo on which the duty will be 30 per cent. ad va- lorem only. A considerable portion of the' ses- slon of the caucus was devoted th discussing the wine schedule. The caucus approved the section as writ- ten by the finance committee, the principal item from a controversial standpoint being an increase from 10 cents per gallon, as provided in the house bill, to cents per gallon on brandies used in fortified wines. A contest over the increase in the duties on hrandies used in fortified wines has been waged between the Ohio and the California wine makers. In view of the adoption last night of the license tax on stock of corpor- ations, the caucus voted to eliminate stamp taxes on express and freight hills of lading and telephone and tele- graph messages. Stamp taxes are retained, however, on bonds, deben- tures, and certificates of indebtedness, convevances, Custom House receipts, insurance policies, foreign steamship tickets, and Pullman car seats and berths. The revenue measure, leaders esti- mate, will yield $205,000,000 annually, an increase of $7,500,000 over the es- timated revenue as it passed the house was becom af end of the E POLITICAL, QUARREL FFATAL.

HOW TO BE SLIM If you are too fat and want to reduce your weight 15 or 20 pounds don’t starve and weak- en your system or think you must always be laughed at on account of your fat, but go to Clark & Brainerd Co. or any good druggist, and get a box of Oil of Korein capsules, take one after each meal and one before retiring at night. Weigh yourself once a week and note what a pleasant and reliable method this is for re- moving superfluous fat from any part of the body. It costs little, is absolutely harmless and a week’s trial should convince anyone that it is unnecessary to be burdened with even a single pound of unsightly fat. ———— e e The | { caucus had an economical mood, and would be lively as Senator Underwood | NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, AUGUST 15, 1916.

Near by stood a man whose face was familiar. | “He is one of those fellows you | ree,”” Zbyszko explained to the Magis- | trate. ‘“Many times in a crowd he is | there and always he says when T come, ‘Hello, Zbyszko,’ and I say | ‘Hello,” and so after a lot of times I | remember his face and we know each other.” So Zbyszko gave the ringside friend | his trinket to hold.

The stranger explained easily | that he had not dared to carry so | valuable a stone ahout with him. He | might lose it. It was safe at home and he would deliver it the next day. Zbyszko agreed. But the next day no ring appeared. “Every time I saw this man he said: ‘Just so safe as the ring would | be with vou so it is with me,’ " Zby- | £zko testified. “So it went until three | weeks ago.” Then Zbyszko saw the window of a Sixth avenue pawn shop.
