OUR CITIES.

They are growing in multitude and
IN magnlicienoe In marvellous manner.
Nor Is this TO be wondered at since
church and State are united In earnest
effort TO make them grow. Old
churches are closing In the country
places while new churches are opening
in the cities. IL is no longer consider
ed just decent that ID. ID. should live
and labor in the country, while young
men proposing for the ministry protest
against being trained In schools Of the
prophets located amid quiet country
scenes. They seem to be as dependent
upon paved walk ways, porcelain bath
tubs, halls heated with steam and
made resplendent with the glare and
glow Of electric lights as are the club
men. The Government enters young
men to the city 10y offering increase of
wages. The mail carrier in the city,
who is not required TO furnish a horse
or horses, is paid four times as much as
is the country co-worker engaged in the
same service, and who is often required
to contribute in addition to his own
time aud muscle that Of from one to
four horses. The preacher gets five
thousand in the city and five hundred |
in 1.-THE country, and yet theyI are all
"called of God"
What returns are the cities making |
for all these favors Of church and |
State? Marvellous granite sky scrapers,
homes, costly cathedrals,

DEMOCRATS vs.. HILL, THE DEMO

We can not hope for Democratic

Gently the Democracy of David b Hill
of New York. was not the subject of
discussion-now 1t is not only being
discus ed, but largely discredited.
This is due to a plank in the recent
platform Of New York DEMOCRATS, in
which there was clear cut and well
defined endorsement Of Government con-
troll Of tine anthracite coal properties of
the nation. Senator Hill no doubt
framed this plank, and he has been
defending il vigorously ever since.
Among other things he says: 81 do
not stand here advocating government
ownership of things that are mere con-
veniences, but / do advocate govern.
ment control or ownership ofIthe great
necessities and not permit Of the great
and unfair profits that are demanded |
by the owners"
There is no reply to this. If the gov
can guarantee a Republican
form Of government, if it can suppress
rebellion, if it can quarantine against
disease, surely it can and should de-
lend against cold hearth stones. What
value is good government or good
health to the man freezing to death?
Call It communism If you will, but
when the government fails to protect

SHOTGUN
Prescriptions

Wesuppose we are not revealing
any trade secrets when we say
that many medicines are made up
on the principle Of the so-called
shotgun prescriptions -" which
were formerly somewhat in vogue.
The idea Of the shotgun pre-
seriptions was to put into a medi-
cine a large number of different
drugs, each useful for different
purposes, in the hope that some
of them might hit the case.
The most successful physicians
we know use more direct method.
The medicine we sell over our own
name and guarantee does the same.
This medicine is called Vinol. 1t
is the best thing we know for a run
down condition, for nerve troubles,
for lung troubles, for weak women,
pale children, and old people in
fact, it is a safe, pleasant, reliable
tonic and reconstruction.
1t is not scattering "shot-gun
prescription" but it goes straight |
to the mark. and has cured so |
many people right here in town,
that it gives US confidence to
sell 1t on an absolute guarantee,
Is follows: If you use bottle and
t does not help you, well give
'ou your money back without a
word of complaint.
We could not afford to guarantee
80 boldly if we had not seen it
ucceed in ninety-eight out of every
ne hundred cases.
