"DOn't Know

Most Of us have heard this ex-
preston many times.
Did you ever notice that the
Don't know how got it cold
is bad one to get over' That
before you are through with the
hoarseness, the cough, the eight
feeling" the general discomfort,
and the out of sorts sensations,
you are apt to have another such
cold, and so on until it hangs on
for weeks
These colds mean that your sys-
TEN is out of gear. They usually
precede serious diseases like. con-
sumption, bronchitis. They are
dangerous.
We have found a remedy for all
sorts of colds, coughs, that is not
a so-called cough-cure. 1t does
not stupefy with opium, nor fill
the system with vicious drugs.
1t is Vinol. We are perfectly
wiling to tell any inquirers at our
store what it is made of and how
we came to take hold of it.
1t certainly does the work. Old
coughs go off like magic. 1t even
relieves people far gone in con-
sumption. People right in town
have proved it. We sell it subject
to guarantee money back if it
doesn't help you. Isn't it foolish
to put the matter OFF,

In the Senate, Mr.. Clark, Of Hancock,
introduced a bill to amend the law re-
lattng to reference in insurance policies.

restricted that the insured Is deprived OF
the right of trial by jury. Mr.. Clark has
redrawn the whole standard policy law,
leaving out the compulsory arbitration

men who are lnsuring property have
difficulty perhaps in placing the
amount of risk they desire in repre-
sentative companies. 1t is an impor-
tant matter; and 1, for one, as a mem
Der of that committee feel that we
are entitled to investigate the bill: and
if we shall desire legal advice, we
should have the privilege of asking it;
and | hope the motion will not prevail.
Mr.. STAPLES of Knox: Mr.. Presi-
dent: In reply to the senator from
Penobscot on the matter of courtesy l
wish to say that bill of this Kind, a
report is already before the judiciary
Committee, and if there is any cour-
tesy to be shown anywhere, it should
be shown to the committee on the Ju-
dietary. If the matter is divided, and
the committee on the Judiciary have
one bill and the Insurance Committee
another bill, one may report one way,
and one another. IT, in the first place
the report of the committee on uni
formity of legislation had not sent the
matter to the Judiciary then, perhaps,
there might have been some question
of courtesy about it. l admit $3.50 is
an important matter When trial by
jury is taken away from the people, it
is an important matter and a constitu-
tional matter, which the Committee
on Insurance, with their best and most
profound learning is not supposed to
be so well capable of dealing with as
the Committee on Judiciary; and /
trust that every member will look at
the matter in that way. One matter,
recollect, is before the judiciary Com
mittee today, and they are expected
to make a report upon the very ques
ton that 1 present in this bill. For
that reason, 1 trust that the matter
will go to he Judiciary Committee, and
not to two committees.
Mr. STETSON of Penobscot: Mr.
President, may | be permitted the in
diligence of the Senate for a moment
The senator from Knox says that a
bill is pending before the Committee
on the judiciary. 1t is a report of the
commissioners which is pending before
that committee which report among
other features contains the feature re-
fered to in this bill. 1t is not d bill
of this particular nature, but a bill
covering many important points.
Therefore, no bill particularly of this
nature in a single instance by itself is
pending before that committee.
Mr.. STAPLES of Knox: Mr.. Pres
iJent If the senator from Penobscot
will take pains to read the report of
the committee on uniformity of legis-
laton he will find that is only one of
three that is presented to this Legis-
lature to be remedied.
Mr. BTTRNS Of Cumberland. Mr.
President, l have no doubt that if this
bill is referred to the Committee on
Mercantile Affairs and Insurance, that
Il hearing will be advertised. and the

very generously for rural free delivery,
but Governor Burleighs learns that the
appropriation this year will be even
larger than ever before, according to
| the present plans of the committee.
II think We ought to make this APP
preparation just as large as possible,
consistent with the extension of the
system on good sound business princi-
Pies" said Governor Bprleigh, today.
| 1--WE must do the work gof establishing
and maintaining new rural routes
carefully and substantially and see to
it that the service, as far asst is ex-
tended. is up to the highest standard.
Of course we cannot think of putting
in rural free delivery in all the re-
naming towns and counties of the
United States in one season but I want
to see it become co-extensive with the
country just as rapidly as that is
feasible.
1.-The rural free delivery has been a
boon to the farmers of Maine as
rule. OF necessity in such large I'M
dertaking there have been some few
cases of dissatisfaction but these are
many times overbalanced by the ex-
tensive benefits and in time the entire
system will adjust itself, so that we
shall be wondering why it was that we
did not begin to inaugurate rural free
delivery twenty-five years ago."
Senator Hale is taking an active part
with the steering committee of the Sem
ate in arranging the program of busi-
ness for that end of the Capitol during
the remainder of the session. That is
very difficult task in view of the brief
time left and the large number OF
measures which are pressing for ac-
ton. First a careful summary has to
be taken of the work that must be
done and then important questions of
policy have to be considered as to what
big measures must be passed and what
measures must be left unconSidered.
Senators Hale. Allison and Aldrich are
the three leading men on that steering
committee, as they are in the Senate,
and what they decide upon comes
pretty near being the will of the SEN
ate.
The senior Maine senator on a recent
trip to Annapolis carefully studied the
pf0gress made with the new buildings
there. He is not in very kindly mood
towards the architects, who, he thinks,
have not performed the work as they
should and who are receiving by far
too large a fee for their work. When
the time comes for the Senate to con-
slider the naval appropriation bill Mr..
Hale will probably have something to
| say about the way things have been
done at Annapolis and he won't have
things to say that are, altogether
| pleasant.
| 1t will be three or four weeks yet be-
| fore Senator Hale's committee re-
ceive the big naval budget, but in the
| meantime he is preparing for much
| that considera ton of the bill will de-
mand and the work will be expedited
as soon as it reaches him. The naval
appropriation bill, under the modern
order of things, has become the most
| important of all the appropriation
bills. in the number of weighty ques-
tions involved and in the necessity for
care that no unwise things be done.

pear before that committee to give US
any information and offer any Objec
tons they may desire, and I hope the
motion of the gentleman from Kno2
will not prevail.
Mr.. MANLEY of Kennebec: MI
President, 1 desire to correct the sen.
ator from Knox in one statement hc
has made. There is no bill before Tho
judiciary Committee upon this sub
ject whatever. The Committee OF
Uniformity of law made report which
has been referred to the Committee OF
Judiciary, and that committee have
taken no action on that report, an6
they, in all probability, will refer tC
the committee on Mercantile Affairs
and Insurance whatever relates tc
them and 1 think this bill belongs te
the Committee on Mercantile Affairs
and Insurance.
Mr.. STAPLES of Knox: Mr.. Presi-
dent, | wish to be fair about this mat
ter. The senator from Kennebec rises
TO correct me. | said that it had been
referred to the Committee on Judi
ciary. l do not know whether they
have acted upon it, or not.
The question being put on the mo-
| ton of the senator from Knox, the
motion was lost

scot, the Bill, An Act to establish Q
law uniform with other states relative
to Insurance Policies, was referred tc
