There seems to be an epidemic of
colds.
1t is strange how many people start
in with cold that they have con-
tracted during the autumn months.
Such colds are dangerous, for unless
cured when the weather is warm it is
very difficult to get rid of them when
really inclcment weather appears.
Donot. il you have a cold, go through
this winter and let it pull you down. A
racking cough may be the means of un-
dermining your constitution, terminal
ing in consumption, when there will be
no hope for escape.
CodLiver Oil has always been the
greatest known specific for consump-
ton. Naturally Cod Liver Oil has been
given for colds which are regarded by
many people as the first stage Of this
disease. There is no need of our tell
ing you the drawbacks of CodLiver
Oil: the vile, greasy mixture was so re-
pellent that not more than one person
in ten could take it. But Cod-Liv,r
Oil did cure where it could be taken.
Now we have a cod-livcr oil prepara-
ton that cures just as surely as did
this vile remedy. We refer to Vinol.
Anybody can take Vinol. 1t tastes de-
licious, and because it contains the
active curative principles that made
Cod Liver Oil famous as the specific for
consumption and other wasting dis
eases. it will be readily seen how valu-
able it is for all such troubles.
Here is one letter taken from many
that are continually coming to our
notice. Mrs. +. Cogh'an, 122 Putnam
Ave. Cambridgeport, Mass, says:
"Last September l contracted q
heavy cold which terminated with ton
silitis, and later the grip. All winter
had dreadful cough, and the doctor
advised me to take several things
among them Cod-Liver Oil. l tried i,
for several months without obtaining
relief. At last | heard of Ninol and
gave it a trial. Five bottles cured me
and have had no troubles since.
When we talk of Vinol, we
know of what we speak, and will
refund your money if you are moi
satisfied. ss.4a> :.

WONDERFUL LITTLE PLANET.
Variations Of Light OF Eros Puzzle
Astronomers.

NEW YORK, April lS.-A special to
the Times from Boston says:
Eros, the little planet that has been
watched so closely by astronomers late
ly on account Of It's nearness to the
earth. has recently taken an additional
interest. Until within short time Eros
has been observed simply on account
OF its position. by means of which 1t
is hoped to determine more closely the
distance between the earth and the
sun. This spring the planet has shown
marked changes in light and is the first
OF the asteroids in which variation Of
light has been firmly established.
II has been found by the Harvard
observers that the intensity OF the
light changes sometimes two or three
times in as many hours. This is ae-
counted for in two ways:
Some astronomers think that one side
OF the planet is dark and the other side
light and that as il revolves first the
light and then the dark side Is pre-
sented to the watchers on earth; other
observers. and especially those in Eu-
rope. believe the planet is double and
that the two spheres so revolving
around each other first present their
combined light and then only the light
OF one. The planet is believed to re-
volve in FIVE hours.

STRICT RUSSIAN CENSORSHIP.
Nothing Printed in Russian Language
Can BE Circulated Without Gov
ernment Approval

WASHINGTON. April l6,--Incendiary
matter has been circulated In every
form In Russia. hence the officers cen
sor everything that is printed as rigid
ly as they did Il century ago. says
Consul-Generl Holloway at st. Peters
burg in report TO the state depart
ment advising American exporters upon
the preparation Of advertising matter TO

Several American exporters have had
their advertising matter refused ad-
mission upon arrival in Russia because
they had not complied with the Russian
laws regarding censorship Of the press.
which states that everything printed
in the Russian language must receive
the approval OF the chief Of the COM
mittee on censorship before Il can be
admitted or circulated in Russia. A
petition should be- addressed to Count
Mouraveff who occupies the position
referred to, describing the character OF
the publication and its purpose. enclos-
ing two copies OF the matter and ask
ing for permission to admit and circu-

says Mr.. Holloway. will b. more likely
