What might be called "strictly first
class" trayel to the Pacific Coast has
been a little backward but, since the
nrst OF the year. the tide has turned
and all the limited trains crossing
the continent are taxed to the limit.
Those running over the southern

The Truth .
About Lung
Troubles

Chapter I. Severe climate.
| THERMOMETERS has been known to
drop 50 degrees in SO minutes. }
Sun hot, wind cold.
Chapter II. A hard cold. A
touch of the grip. Don't seem to
get well. - - 49,.
Chapter III. Hacking cough.
Guess it will wear off when warm
weather comes.) 49,.
Chapter ~. Doctor says left
lung is affected.
Everybody knows the last chap
Isn't it pitiable? The more so
since common cough-cures don't
cure hacking cough. They only
temporarily dry it up and upset the
stomach. The cause is still there.
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
vile-smelling grease left out.
The results are gained by i'm
proved nourishment. The rich
new blood overcomes the swarming
germs of disease. There is almost
immediate gain. Tryit on our guar
'ntee money back if you want it.

London, March 16.-"Southampton

statesman" in huge letters, surround
ed and intertwined with Union Jacks
and Stars and Stripes, was the motto
that first greeted Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain and Mrs. Chamberlain
on landing at Southampton from South
Africa. ;
The travellers had a magnificent
greeting. The quays were deliberately
decorated, the ships were dressed
rainbow fashion and rounds of cheer
ing and the blowing of whistles and
sirens greeted the liner Norman, which
carried the distinguished passengers.
As soon as the steamer was warped to
her dock Mr.. Chamberlain's family
went on board the Norman. They
were shortly afterwards followed by
the mayor and corporation Of South
ampton, who welcomed the travellers.
The mayors daughter. then handed
bouquet to Mrs. Chamberlain and
procession was formed, with the mayor
and Mrs. Chamberlain leading and
Mr.. Chamberlain and the mayors
daughter coming after them, and
walked through cheering crowds to the
reception hall. Mr.. Chamberlain was
bronzed, but he looked very thin and
Appeared Considerably Aged.
He showed evident pleasure at the
heartiness of.the welcome. The party
then entered carriages and drove /

 TAKE OLD PLACE
VETERAN MARYLAND SENATOR WILL PROBABLY PRESIDE OVER THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS OF THE SENATE-MEET TODAY.

Washington, March 5.--The democratic senators will hold a caucus tomorrow. The principal business will be to elect a successor to Senator Jones of Arkansas as chairman of the caucus, but they prob ably will discuss the question of policy with reference to pending treaties.
 It is the general opinion among demo- cratic senators that Senator German will be asked to resume his old place as chair man of the democratic caucus.
 Another question which will probably be taken up is the appointment of mem- Der for the foreign relations committee to succeed MT. Bailey, who was excused from service on that committee by the senate Tuesday last on his own motion.
 When he retired he suggested Senator Clark of Montana as his successor and as there was no opposition, the suggestion was adopted and MT. Clark was made a member of the committee. There Is no objection to MT. Clark as a member of the committee, but there Is a feeling on the part of some of the democratic sena- tors that designation of a member of so important a committee should be left to the caucus and not to an individual sen- ator. It therefore seems probable that the caucus will ask to be allowed to fill the place and that Senator Clark will be named by the caucus.
 The vacancies on the steering commit tee also will be filled.
