working the Colonies.

The proposition in the Philippine
government bill to continue the ex-
port duty of $3.50 per ton on hemp as
to all nations except ourselves is ut
terly indefensible. 1t is the old idea
of working" a colony for the benefit
of the home country, and one which
has broken down in every instance
when measured against the open
door practice which England has
followed with all her col
onies for generations. If there were
Il word of excuse to be urged for the
practice, if the examples of Spain,
Portugal. France and all the other
and older colonizing nations except
England were not uniformly against
it, one could see some use in discuss
ing il or attempting it now.
The experience of all teaches that
il is commercially a mistake To say
nothing of the fact that the principle
from which it proceeds is morally
wrong.

these latter are ornamental as well

A Disease That Is The
Terror Of Our Times.
VinoI Can Prevent

Consumption is not hereditary. The
best physicians today tell US SO.
A prediSposition to the trouble, how

had ancestors who suffered from this
awful disease or died from it, then you
should take particular care.
Your system is such that under favor
able circumstances the disease germ Is
likely to find a resting place, take root,

tive cases must end eventually in death.
The person susceptible to this disease is

such ground thrives and tlOurishes.
If You will only come in and let us
talk with you, we can tell you better in
a few minutes personal conversation all
that Vinol can do to cure coughs and pre-
vent consumption than we can describe to
you in pages of type. But. briefly we
will state for the benefit of our many
friends that we know that Vinol invigOr-
ateS the stomach, enriches the blood,
creates flesh and gives to the taker
strength, and thus throws off disease.
This is done because it contains those
valuable medicinal ingredients in n high

Oil famous. The advantage OF Vinol

about six months, deem it my duty TO
say something in its behalf. My wife

If the Lacey leasing bill is passed
by congress 12j.OOO farmers may lease
farms from the 200
acres in each at a cost of less than
$500 a year. The passage of this

late j. Sterling MortOn's prophecy
that the range country of the west
would be peopled by the small farm

Oil i'm Illinois.

1t is held out by many that there
are petroleum deposits in various To-
calities in Illinois. The Bloomington
Bulletin declares that Il local gentle
man, who is prominent in the oil in
vestments which have recently been
made in Kansas. says that he believes
that if wells of sufficient depth were
drilled in this part of the state; oil
would be discovered. He bases his
claim on the fact that wherever wells
have been sunk to any depth gas has
been struck in a plentiful supply. He
stated to a reporter that if Il well
were taken down 1000 feet that there
would certainly be something of value
found. The deepest well which has
ever been drilled is said to be the well
in the coal mine at Bloomington.

This is several feet less than the

cinity is fiat and looks like the land
