Vinol Substituted for Cod Liver Oil
Wonderful Improvement.

w. HI. Marshall. proprietor of the
Harper house pharmacy, whose name
is so closely associated with Vinol,
the wonderful discovery, is by this
time becoming used to answering
questions. Yesterday, in answer to
reporter, he said: People are not
making as many inquiries of me as
they did. / am now having my in
nings, and you may, be sure am inn
proving them by asking questions.
This talk of the difficulty ofintroducing
a new discovery one of your newspa-
per fellows yarns. Let the discovery
be all right and it goes right on and
Introduces itself. AL you need to do
is to give it little shove and make
it stand out before The public. 1t
will do the rest. Yes, 1 did have to
answer a great many questions for
few DAYS. | will admit that, and of
course / am not entirely through yet;
but Vinol's friends are talking for it
almost as we'll as it talks for itself
and good news, as well as news of
that which will do good, gets around
pretty fast.
''You see it was not very difficult
thing to explain. Every body grasped
the idea in a minute, when I told
them that the real value of cod liver
oil existed in certain active principles
found in the liver of the live cod. 1t
was not very hard work for any one
to believe that these same. principles
could DO obtained by special pro-
ess, without it's being necessary to
have them connected with the dis
agreeable and vile-smelling greas that
form erly was part of the remedy which
they had known as cod liver oil. Well,
that is about all had to tell them.
1t is not very hard work for even
chill I TO comprehend that given GER
tain extract that contains valuable
medicinal principles, that Just the
right amount can be administer d
and even a child could mix this same
extract in the delicious table wine
which we are using and which so pre-
pared goes under the name of Vinol-
Wine Of Cod Liver Oil.
Eyes, indeed, any mum Der of people
have already found out the value of
Vinol. Lots of them are coming to
me every day telling me that they
knew it was necessary for them to
ShhO OON 1ANOA Jill Dot SnCJ COu1Q DOb
do it. They are now telling me of
the good they are deriving from
vinol, and am surprised myself at the
rapid way such benefits show them
selves. This is whe e l am asking my
questions and coil citing nice little
batch of informatio in reg ard to the
good that is beir g done in this city to
people we all know. Will 1 publish
any of itP Oh. do not think I will.
Not for the present at least, and of
course 1 never would without the
full permission of the people who
tell me their stories. Many of
them say more than they would
Ike to see in print. they are SO
enthusiastic on the subject. Yer,
perhaps, / will in few days be able
TO give you the names of few of the
best known people in the city, who
are warm advocates of Vinol, and do
ing more in a minute to gain new
converts for it than 1 could in week, ="

Lincoln couldn.t Do 1t.

"when was in Springfield. Abra-
ham Lincoln and General Baker, who
was killed ar Leesburg. Va, during the
civil war, made the race for the Wing
nomination FOR congress-" said DIR. ID.
B. Hill. Both were Wings, and both
were keen for the nomination. Both
had a strong personal following, and if
both ran the Democrat would win in
the district. So a primary election was
necessary to settle the contest. Baker
won. Both men were at Springfield
when the news came. Lincoln was de-
pressed. The crowd to cheer him up
called on him for a speech. Getting
up, he said: Gentlemen, I'd like to
comply with your request, but can't
make speech now. 1 expected to re-
ceive the nomination, but I failed. If
l had won, know Baker would have
got up here and so charmed you with
his eloquence as to make you believe
you had done him a favor by nominat-
ing me. But can't do it, "-Argonaut.

see that none of the power was wasted.

''It is awfully kind of you, but fear
I must decline"
.'Then / viii not press you. / will,
however, put you down for a SIT share,

she rose up with puzzled look.
"Plain as day, my dear young woman.

tween SO and SIT is 81. You had best

But 1 don't see," she protested as
her eyes grew big.
''Then we will go over it again. If
you add to 10 it makes Ia. doesn't it?
And you owe me just the difference.

She looked at him in a vacant way
for a minute and then laid 50 on the
desk and walked out without a word.
Ten minutes later she was back with
the real estate man on the first floor,
and the real estate man pounded on the
door and called out:
"Open, you sleek, slick man, and
hand over that S2!'
Eyes. you talked me out of So" added
the woman.
No reply.

Eyes, deep dyed scoundrel!'
But the major heard not the words.
He had seized the money, locked up his
Office and gone down by the back
stairs after his luncheon. He no lon

thoughts bounded forward to a 80 cent

FIRST PAGE FOR SPEECHES.
Rivalry Among Congressman For a
Good Position In The Record.


Good Position In The Record.
The effort that is constantly being
made to secure the printing of speeches
on the front page of The Congressional
Record is not generally understood.
Senators and representatives naturally
desire to have their deliverances in
congress receive as much attention as
possible, and there is but one publica-
ton in which they can monopolize the
front page in a display of their
speeches. That one publication is The
Record.
OF course speeches that are printed
in regular order in the debate, ap-
pearing on the day after they are de-
hvered, are 10 be found only in their
regular place in The Record. But in
the cases of speeches withheld for re-
vision there is an opportunity to have
them displayed on the first page of the
official report of the proceedings. This
is merely done by an arrangement be-
tween the senate and house by which
this privilege is about equally divided.
Senators and representatives who
withhold their remarks for revision
frequently inquire when they can have
the first page of The Record, which is
generally reserved for at least a week
ahead.
: The general rule is, First come, first
served" In this way those who want
to make their speeches influential will
at times arrange TO have them on the
first page of The Record on the morn
ing of a day when a vote is to be
taken, in order that they may be
brought prominently to the attention
of their fellow legislators just before
they are to take action on the matters
of which they treat. 1t is in the ma
ture of judicious advertisement

TREATMENT OF FRECKLES.
The Most Obstinate to Remove of All
 Skin Blemlshes.

The fact that freckles are the usual penalty exacted by nature for the be- s.;owal of a delicate complexion in no way compcnsates any daughter of Eve for their unwelcome presence. The poet may call them "the kisses of Apollo" but she prefers to dispense with the attentions of the sun god. Probably the least offensive and dls- figuring of all skin blemis'hes, they are the most obstinate to remove. Derma- tolosists have tried in vain to com pound a remedy which should be per manent cure. It has yet to be found. True. they may be faded. even removed in many eases. after persistent treat ment, but with the advent of the warm spring days and summer winds they are very apt to reappear. The sum mer girl inclined to freckle who yet juscly refuses to be housed when sun. sky and sea woo her, has on hand a perpetual problem.
 Freckles are. divided into two classes, cold Or constitutional fr2ckles. and summer or light freckles. The latter fade gradually or yield for a time. at least 10 mild lotions. The former re- quire almost heroic treatment which then frequently brings disappointment It is impossible truthfully to "guaran- tee freckle cure. The very situation Of the freckla-below the surface-of- fers an obstacle. One difficulty in the way of their removal lies in the wide difference in the texture of different skins. A freckle lotion that will have no effect upon ones complexion will irritate and blister that of another.
 The chief ingredient which enters into many freckle lotions is acid An acid will bleach the spots when 1t reaches them. It must have usually something to draw them nearer to the surface. Ordinary massage of the face will do this gradually, and, by promot-
