since common cough-cures don't
cure hacking cough. They only
temporarily dry it up and upset the

We believe we can help nine
cases out of ten of this kind-that
is about our average of relief and
cure so far.
We do it with Vinol, which is
made from the best remedy for
lung troubles the world has ever
seen - cod liver oil, but with the
vlle-smelling grease left out.

Chicago. Milwaukee and st. Paul
Believed to Be Planning an
Important Move.
TWO ROUTES ARE SUGGESTED.
Purchase of the Bluff Line Said to
BE Contemplated Because
of Extensive Coal
Fields.

While there are several feasible ways by
which the Chicago. Milwaukee and ST. Paul
could get a terminus in ST. Louis the Of
ficials of that road are consistently rcticent
as TO their plans.
Most of them refuse TO say whether
they intend trying to get into ST. Louis and
several deny the report. which emanates
from an authoritative source.
The most convenient route suggested and
the one most generally believed to be de-
Cided upon is 10 use the Chicago. Peoria and
St Louis from Peoria. To do this it will
probably he necessary to build line from
Davenport. Ia. to Peoria, a distance of
ninety-four miles.
At one time the c.. NJ. & ST. p. had track
rights over the Rock Island between these
points. but lately an estrangement due to
strong Competition. has arisen between the
systems: and officials of the Rock Island
claim that Il proposition TOR the use of
their tracks has not been made and in all
preha biiity would not be considered.
From Peoria the G.. F. & ST. L.; otherwise
to St Louis.
While the c, p. & ST. L. is not a member
of the Terminal family with other roads en-
terins ST. Louis. it has the privilege of JOIN
ing and undoubtedly. as the property OF the
c.. NJ. x ST. p. would do SO.
At present the trains enter Union Station

Aside from the advantages gained by St.
Louis terminus. it IS generally understood
that the c.. NJ. & St. P desires to get INTO
larger coal territories than IL now enjoys.
AT present ii has extensive coal fields on
Its line in Iowa at Foster Moravia Hilton
and other towns In the southern part of the
State. but with the acquisition of the c. z.
St l.. II would tap one of the richest
coal fields in the United States and could

coal traffic.
As far as the sale of the c. P. & St. l..
Is concerned. it is said that 1t has been on
the market for some time. especially of late
having suffered serious less by reason of the
high water.
The line which the c., NJ. & St P would
hu;ld would probably parallel the Rock
Island from Davenport to Peoria The c., P
& st. L. is a little over 80 miles long and

could get into St. Louis is by the Burling-

line SiNty-one miles long. extending from
Centervillc to Bidde. Mo-. by the Bur,ing-
ton was made some time ago.
This line could be used py the G. NJ &
st. P. and not only taps the rich coal fields
near ST. Louis. but could be carried through
to st. Louis with comparatively little eX-
pense.
For this reason il is thought possible that
the c.. NJ. * St. p. will try TO buy 1t. as 1t
is accessible TO its line. but would not be as
direct as the line via Peoria.
1t is stated that some time ago the c., NJ.
& St. p. used the Alton from Chicago, but
found that Ii did not pay.
