A USE FOR EVERYTHING
Nothing Yet Ever Created
Without a Purpose.
A Theory Difficult to Be Relieved i'm
Some instances.
""hy Think Nature Might Have
Been Improved Upon in Many
Ways.

We all wonder why certain things
We're ever made, why certain animals
OF insects were allowed to live. And
YET there is no doubt but that every
tnlng was intended for some purpose,
and as civilization advances such pur-
poses are discovered
Cod liver oil is something that. every
oody knows to have been a wise pro-
vision OF Providence, to be used as a
medicine in all wasting diseases. Why
nature should have appended to this
valuable remedy its horrible odor and
most terrible taste is also something
mat many have wondered at. But that
was Natures way. She gave to man
the crude material. and has left it to
MS intelligence to overcome many of
its Objectionable features.
This is exactly what has happened
IN regard to cod liver oil. Everybody
knows its value. Everybody knows
now necessary it is for physicians to
prescribe it in many instances. Every
body also knows that it is one Of the
most terrible medicines to take that
can be imagined. There is no longer
need of taking it; that is, in the form
In which we have been accustomed to
know it.
Mr.. knight of knights Pharmacy
Co., of this city, has associated HIM
L
producing a preparation known as
Vinol-Wine of Cod Liver Oil. This is
not patent medicine. Any one may
see. on the label of each bottle, or Mr..
knight will tell any one who calls on
MIN, exactly what Vinol contains AS
ne explained yesterday: I'VE have
simply found out how to extract the
active medicinal principles from the
Gods liver that has made cod liver
oil valuable. This we may obtain in
the form of a concentrated extract
The grease, with all it's vile odor
IS left behind. That, too has it's pur-
poses 1t is valuable for dressing
leather. but as for its being in any
way good for man as a medicine, it
is absolutely worthless.
Now we take the medicine that we
have obtained, or the concentra ted
medicinal properties of the Gods liver.
and place Just the right quantity of
this extract in a delicious, mild table
wine, and there you have the whole
story. Anybody can learn in a min
ute that Vinol is tasteless. ANY one
who is compelled to take cod liver oil
can find out in a few days how much
more benefit can be derived from vi
mol than could ever have beeen ob-
tanned from cod liver oil in it's crude
form"
Mr.. Knights enthusiasm in regard
to Vinol is indeed we'll founded. The
preparation which he is handling will
be in short time one of the hest
known in the world.

nounced by George r. Sheldon, the
manager of the syndicate which will
take over certain loans of the Trust
Company of the Republic made in con-
nection with the launching of the

Practically all the leading banking
houses in the city came to the aid of
the new syndicate, and IL can be de-
f1nitely stated that all the leans and
obligations growing out of the forma-
ton of the United States Shipbuiliing
Company will be taken care of by the
new syndicate. AS the original syndi-

Voyage One of Unusual Peril and

San Francisco, Nov. 10.-The United

port this evening from the Philippines,
after most stormy and most perilous
voyage. Shortly after leaving Yoko-
hama the vessel encountered a typhoon.
Boats were smashed, portions of the
riggings carried away and during the
hight OF the storm a launch was torn

On board the transport was Gen. Adna

companied by Mrs. Wright. and Judge
James H. Blount of the Philippine in
sular government. Gen. Chaffee has
been absent from this country for over
three years, during which time duty
called him to Cuba, to China and to
the Philippines. He said tonight:
When 1 left the Philippines every
thlng was progressing most SatiSfac-
torily. l could not be more pleased
with the situation. Civilizatid,- has &C
complished wonders and the natives
are fast recognizing the institutions or
this government and meeting them
with more friendly spirit. Of course,
some of the provinces are unsettled and
we expect to meet with further trou-
BILE, but the outlook is most cheerful
and beyond an occasional skirmish
here and there, look for no difficult
ties or great disturbances requiring
unusual force to subdue. Peaceful
methods are making themselves felt
among the native leaders, who
are, in many instances, assist
ing our government by advising their
former belligerent followers to lay
down their arms. Some of the former
fighting sultans, of which there are a
score. have become peaceful. The
greatest difficulty we have experienced
in the islands is overcoming the leg
ends and superstitions of the people.
1t is hard to overcome at once traits
which have been born in the natives
for centuries, and l will say that to
this one feature is largely due the
spread of cholera and other pestilent
diseases among them.
Il am very much pleased with the
situation in the province of Samar.
That was once one of the most unruly
and belligerent of the provinces, and is
now quiet and peaceful as this city OF
yours"

ANOTHER REPORT.
Rear Admiral Taylor, Chief of Bu-
reau of Navigation, Makes Sug-

reRu of Navigation, Makes sug-
gestions.
Washington. Nov 1O-The most cry
ing need of the navy. according to the
annual report of Rear Admiral II. C.
Taylor. chief of the Bureau of Navi-
cation, is more officers to man our
warships. He declares that the prep
arations now going on for the mobili-
cation of the feet for the winter ma
neuvers in the West Indies have
brought the department face to face
with the critical condition due to lack
of officers, which, he says, has reach
ed such a point as to be dangerous to
the efficiency of the fleet He submits
a table showing that the present needs
of the service require 1000 officers.
while the number on the navy list. in
Guiding midshipmen after graduation,
is only 1,023, or 577 short. He figures
that the vessels now authorized by
Congress, but not completed, will re-
quire 49S additional officers.
A concentration of the naval force
in two big fighting squadrons in the
! North Atlantic and Asiatic waters is
recommended. For the present, the
report says, two squadrons are all
that the present number of our battle
ships will permit. To carry out this
policy, Admiral Taylor proposes to
transfer the battleships in the remain
ing squadrons to one or the other OF
these heavy squadrons and compose
the Pacific. European and South At
! lantic squadrons entirely of cruisers.
These changes will be undertaken as
soon as the winter maneuvers in the
West Indies are concluded.
The proposed concentration of the
naval forces, Admiral Taylor says,
makes 1t desirable to have an officer
of high rank i'm command of each of
the great heavy fleets and he recon-
mends for these two commands that
Congress authorize the creation of two
vice adnirals or, as an alternative,
! that it sanction the appointment OF
! two acting vice admirals.
Admiral Taylor also urgently recom-
mends further congressional action for
: the establishment of a general staff to
control and administer the affairs OF
| the fleet.

Rhea Issues Statement.

Bristol, Tenn, Nov. 10.-Congressman
Rhea, Democrat of the Ninth Virginia
district, issued a signed statement to-
day in which he refers to last Tues
days election. He says in reference
to the rejection of the precints of
Pattison and Mendoza, that while he is
sure the commissioners were honest
in their belief that said returns should
be rejected and had no legal right to
count said votes. he believes that the
votes belong to Slemp, Republican, and
would probably elect him: and If a
certificate of election is issued by the
state Board to Rhea based on the ex-
clusion of the votes mentioned, he
will decline to accept it.
