THE LFORPOORLO
Measure Read in the Senate.
House Passes the Sun
dry Civil Bill.
CRv the Associated Press.)

washington. Feb. 14.-ahe Senate today
,iotepad to the reading Of the Indian APP
nronriation bill and spent some time III
consideration of that measure. 1t was
not however, finally disposed of ond Will
no taken up again Monday. The greater
mart of the remainder of the day was
Given over to eulogies of late members
of the House of Representatives.
During the day Mr.. Aldrich sought 10
secure consideration of his national BANK
securities bill, and Mr.. Lodge or the
uouso bill amending the Philippine tar
iff law. Both measures went over under
objection but incidentally there was
short sharp controversy over the condl-
lions in the Philippines in connection
with the tariff bill Early in the day
Senator Quay presented resolution eH-
messing the sense of the Senate to be
that a vote be taken on the Statehood
bill before the second Of March next, but
the resolution went over without consld-
Grafton until Monday.
The Philippine tariff bill as passed by
the House fixed the rate on Philippine
products coming into this country at 20
per cent of the Dingley rates instead OF
IS per cent as at present. The Senate
Committee amended the bill by granting
free trade in all products eXcent sugar
and tobacco and upon these products
levying a duty Of so per cent of the Ding
Leg rates.
Mr. Foraker said he would object to
the adoption of the amendments as he
believed that any action less liberal than
that proposed by the House would re-
suit disastrously.
Mr.. Foraker said the we should treat
the people of our dependencies as our
own people.
Mr.. Patterson called attention to the
fact that the Philippines are capable of
producing large enough quantities of SUI
gar to destroy the beet sugar industry.
Referring to Mr.. Forakers general
statement Mr. Patterson asked if it was
to be understood that it is now his opin-
ion that we should hold the Philippines
forever or until they are ready for self
government as he had said last session.
Mr. Foraker replied:
I'VE should hold those islands until
lHty are CdpdDle VI -SONSI OuI
that is so far in the future that We need
not consider it here. The islands will
be in our possession for years to come
and it is idle talk now of parting with
them"
Mr.. Carmack said the measure had not
been reached until Mr.. OXnard. the SUI
gar beet manufacturer had expressed his
Willingness, thinking it would do him no
harm and the Filpinos no good.
The Senate adjourned until Monday.

DEBILITY OFTEN PRECEEES
COMPLETE COLLAPSE.
We Want Every One to Know
How to Get Strong.
OUR WN0L IS A STRENGTH
CREATOR.

The saddest sight on earthisa broken
down man or woman.
We see such people every day right
here in our city.
1t is pitiful to see a man that should
be in his prime dragging himself
through life detected, discouraged and
broken down, due to some premature
weakness. 1t does not make any DIFF
ference whether this weakness is the
result of dissipation, indiscreet living
or disease; it can be overcome.
We have known of many very serious
cases of debility quickly overcome oy
Vinol.
Vinol is a scientific rebuilder and
strength creator. 1tcontans the actlVe
curative principles of COd-Liver Oil in
a highly concentrated form. Inc
benefit that can be derived from the
use of these properties is SO we'll known
that there is no need for us to enter
into that subject.
We could quote many instanceswhere
Vinol has done good; as an example,
here is one coming from Jane ). Fen
fren, a prominent member of the w. G.
Il. u, and a resident of Suncook, n. ID.
She writes:
u was run down, was in bed from
May to March. Was SO nervous and
sicl<ly that every one thought was in
a most precarious condition. My weight
was reduced to 1870 pounds. l was ad-
vised to take Vinol, which l did, and
am now very much better, and am able
to be about again. AS a rebuilder and
a strength giver nothing can equal 1t.
Vinoli is God-blessing to anybody"
Because Vinol is delicious, and
because it does contain these
much-sought-after medicinal
properties we endorse it, and we
unhesitatingly proclaim that it is
better than any preparation of
Cod-liver oil or tonic rebuilderwe
have ever had in our store.
