But in DOESN'T.
Many Have the Erroneous
Idea That Fat Makes
Fat
One Reason Of Cod Liver Oils
Popularity
Nevertheless, a Decidedly Wrong I'm
preston
But IN DOESN'T.

Fat taken into the stomach does not
make fat Thousands of physicians have
prescribed cod liver oil for wasting dis
eases and all troubles that show them
selves in decline of weight. Physicians
know that the fat or grease is not what is
necessary to make fat or tissue. They also
know that it is one of the main things
that make cod liver oil impracticable in
many cases. The fat is too rich to be
digested by stomach weakened by dis
ease
When cod liver oil is given, often the oil
passes from the body in exactly the same
state in which it is received. The reason
doctors prescribe cod liver oil is that it
contains certain curative properties. 1t
is to take advantage of these same urea
tive properties that they have SO often
tried to force their patients to take this
horrible, greasy, vile smelling, nauseating
remedy.
There are but few people who have
rot had experience in one way or another
with cod liver oil, and even the thought
of it's smell is enough to cause shudder.
When We think of these things it is not
strange that every one in our city is
sounding the praise of Vinol.
Vinol, which Mr.. King, of the w. H.

King Drug Co., is handling, is the solution
of an embarrassing puzzle that physi
clans have had to contend with for years
Much has been said in the past few days
of this wonderful discovery and yet it
would be Impossible to say too much in
its praise.
Vinol, Wine of Cod Liver Oil, will in
deed prove itself to be a Godsend of the
most precious kind. AS we have describ-
ed it before, there is no need now of en-
tering into the subject at length; but just
remember that in Vinol you can procure
all the medicinal properties or curative
principles that make cod liver oil famous,
but without the greasy fat Vinol con-
tains just the right amount of the ac-
tive medicinal properties of the cod S
liver that is necessary for the cure of
such diseases as cod liver oil has been
prescribed for.
This is a subject that every one should
become familiar with and we recommend
that you make inquiries of your druggist
in regard to Vinol, or if you will call on
Mr.. King, who has associated himself
with the Boston chemists who are pre-
pairing this remedy he will gladly give
any one all explanations that may be
desired in regard to this subject.

TRAIN FLIES ABLAzE
Converts a Tunnel Into a
Furnace From Which Seven
Corpses Are Borne.
(By. the Associated Press.)

Liverpool. Dec. 23.-An explosion i'll
fuse box set fire to a crowded train on the
electric railway at Dingle Station at six
O'Clock this evening Several of the rail-
way employees were terribly burned and
two were killed The burning train en-
tered a tunnel stored with stacks of
creosoted railroad sleepers. These were
also set on fire and the tunnel became u
blazing furnace. The fire brigade had the
greatest difficulty in extinguishing the
flames The corpses of the two men killed
were carried from the tunnel.
The majority of passengers had alight-
ed at the previous station. Rumors were
spread that forty or fifty persons had been
killed and owing to the dense fumes OF
smoke issuing from the tunnel it was
some hours before an entrance to the tun-
mel could be effected. Many passengers
jumped from the burning train and
rushed out of the tunnel, while others
were dragged out by their fellow travel
ers in half suffocated condition.
In spite of the brave attempts made hy
the officials to enter the tunnel, they
were soon compelled to abandon this idea.
The station buildings were much dam
aged. Subsequently the bodies OF tae
station foreman and the signal boy We're
extricated, making seven deaths in ali,
including the driver and the guard OF the
train. Apparently no passengers were
killed. but it is possible that other bod1es
may be recovered later.

GREAT Is Foxy CUTLER"
Another Success Ewon: Last. Night byJerome
Sykes and His Company

Jerome Sykes, in Khan and Erlansers
production of De Koven and Smiths great
comic opera, Foxy CUTLER" scored
another triumph last night at the Acade-
my of Music.
The production was given in excellent
shape, though the large company was
handicapped by the size of the stage.
There was encore after encore for the
exquisite solos, duettes and choruses,
and these were all deserved.
The company is strong one, the cos
tunes and stage setting handsome. The
many pretty girls as boatmen, VIVIAN
dieres and mandolin players, the well
sustained work of each member of the
cast make this the greatest company of
singers ever heard here, in comic opera.
Manager Rivers is to be congratulated
on bringing such a company to Raleigh,
and deserves every encouragement when
such are offered to the public.

BAD FOOD AND WATER
KILLED HORSES IN HYDE
veterinarian.Butle Satisfied Himself by Ex-
D. aiming the Brains of Horses.

Dr. TAFT Butler, the State veterinarian
returned yesterday from Hyde, where he
has been for two weeks inspecting the
epidemic among horses.
Dr. Butler reports that some fifty
horses have died since the second out
break, and the epidemic is being abated.
DR.. Butler is satisfied that the disease is
due to the same causes that produced the
first epidemic last summer. That is bad
water or bad food, and from what he
learned he believes it to be the bad food
THAT it is brain and spinal trouble
among the horses | am certain said Dr.
Butler yesterday. 81 examined the
brains of horses that died and the signs
cannot be mistaken. There were evil
dences of the brain breaking apart and
liquid formations resulting for an area
of an inch and a half"
There was an intermisson between
the first and second outbreaks, which
may have resulted from care given to
horses food. 1 learned that many horses
were turned out to pasture in old corn
fields. The disease was confined prin-
cipally to two parts of the county the
Lake Landing and the Fairfield sec
tons"
DR.. Butler said that not more than one
horse in ten recovered from the epidemic
An Improvement in the food and the
water, he believes, will check the cpl
demic for all time.

LUMBER MEN WIN.
Inter State Commerce Commission Holds Tnat
Present Rates Are Unlawful.
(By the Associated Press.

(By the Associated Press)
washington. Dec. 24.--The Interstate
Commerce Commission today, in all opln-
ion by Chairman Knapp, rendered It's
decision in the case of the National
Wholesale Lumber Dealers Association
VS. the Norfolk and Western Railway
Company aud others. The following im-
portant facts appear in the decision;
Lumber in carloads is shipped from
points in West Virginia and Southwestern
Virginia to New York city over the Nor
folk and Western Railway to Eagers-
town, and thence via the pennsylvania
Railroad to destination and over the
Norfolk and Western to Shenandoah
junction, and thence via the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, under rates made by
adding to those of the Norfolk and Wes-
tern to Hagerstown and Shenandoah
Junction a specific or arbitrary rate or
thirteen cents pep hundred pounds
charged by the Pennsylvania and Balti-
more and Ohio respectively therefrom.
This specific rate was advanced from IL
to 10 cents, and the Norfolk and Wes-
tern charges were generally increased
in 1899 and 1900 about " cents per hun
dred pounds. Much lower rates on COM
peting lumber have been; and are MAIN
tanned from neighboring points in the
same shipping section to New York by
the Baltimore and Ohio, and BY the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway connecting
with the Baltimore and Ohio at Staun-
ton and the Pennsylvania at Washing
ton. The Norfolk and Western line is
considerably longer than the Chesapeake
and Ohio line, but present rates by the
Norfolk and Western yield higher rates
per ton per mile than those of the
Chesapeake ana Ohio line. The rates
from Norfolk and Western points to
Philadelphia Pa, are six cents lower
than those for the ninety miles greater
distance to New York, while on the
Chesapeake and Ohio the difference in
favor of Philadelphia against New York
is only two cents. Upon all the facts AMI
circumstances the Commission holds that
the through rates complained of are I'M
reasonable and unlawful, and that there
should be an aggregate reduction in the
through rates of 2h cents per hundred
rounds.

COOPERATION IN MASSACHUSETTS.
Employees Of Bourne Mills Receive 25th Profit
Sharing nividend
(By the Associated Press.)

q
Fall River, Mass, Dec. 24.-The en-
ployes of the Bourne Mills just over the
Rhode Island line, in Tiverton, received
today their 18th consecutive semi annual
profit sharing dividend, and the announce
mont that the directors had voted to con-
tinue the plan for another year. They
were also advised that by a special vote
of the directors the limit of possible par
ticipation of profits by the employees had
been doubled so that now the amount
may be mot less than six per cent nor
more than twenty per cent of the amount
paid to the stockholders. Since the incep
ton of the profit sharing plan in 1889,
the dividends have averaged 3.24 per cent
semi annually. When payment was
started it was hoped that the dividends
would equal savings bank rates. 1t ap-
pears that the dividends paid to the en-
ployes have averaged more than sixty per
cent greater than savings banks rates"

The Prince Of Peace.

(Wm J. Bryan in The Commonef)
Christmas is at hand, and it's coming
always recalls the benediction pronounced
in the presence of the shepherds who
kept their 1ocks by night
"On earth peace. good will toward men :"
Isaiah, the prophet, in speaking Of the
coming of Christ, said that he would be
called among other things the Prince
of Peace, z and Immediately after this
prophecy as to His title follows this en-
PLANTATION of the title "Of the increase
of his government and peace there shall
be no end, upon the throne OF David and
upon his kingdom, to order it, and to es-
tablish it with judgment and with justice
from henceforth even forever"
1t is as true today as when the prophet
uttered the words, that no government
can be permanent or insure peace unless
it is established with justice. At this
season of the year, held sacred III all
Christian lands and observed even by
those who are Indifferent to the origin
of Christmas festivities, it is we'll for us
to ask ourselves what our nation as y
ma ton and we as individuals are doing to
promote peace by establishing justice ?
Until within a few years our nation has
been known as peace-loving nation; it
has boasted of its small standing army
and it has had no ambition to compete
with foreign nations in naval expenditures
But change has come over a portion of
our people. They advocate wars of con-
quest which they once condemned; justify
military expenditures which they once
denounced, and they clamor for navy as
big as the biggest What is to be the
end? Was the hope of universal peace a
dream Is right to be measured by might,
and violence, robed in hypocrisy, to De
substituted for justice?

Is the Essence Of Southern Civilization
Decadent?

To the Editor: While on the cars a

hood. lady bearing a very young in
fant in one arm and leading a little tot
by the other, entered the car, which was
crowded with young men and women.
Making her way unsteadily down the
aisle, the train being in motion, she
looked pleadingly for seat Not young
man or young woman stirred. Seeing her
plight a middle aged man sitting with
young man on the narrow rear most
seat in the car rose and gave her his
place. The youngster sitting beside him
complacently held his own. Into the va :

were young and thoughtless is no excuse.
True politeness is ever alert | wish
that every institution of learning in
North Carolina could impress on its every

The action of the young man in the

that of The young women. Such a scene
would have been impossible in this State
fifty, thirty or, | believe, even twenty
years ago. The very essence of Southern
civilization was Difference and regard for
women. consideration for the weak and
reverence for age. Even the worst foes
of that civilization, the very men who
overthrow it, have been forced to ac-
knowledge that it produced as high a
type of man and woman as the world
has seen.
Our young men are evidently not be-
ing taught near as forcibly as they ought
to be, that respect for women is not only
pthe most SeaGtiful and becoming thing
but that it is the basis of true morality
that our race owes its predominance in
the world more largely to this saving
attitude towards woman than to any
thing else, if not to all things else. For
thence has flown the virtue of our women
;and the vjrility of our men.
