RUN DOWN, TIRED
NINE-TENTvHS OF THE N1INNEAP
Oils PEOPLE ARE IN THIS,
CONDITION.
Voegeli Bros. Drug Company Say
.'Vinol Is What Every Man,
Woman and Child Needs at
This Season of the Year.

Many people right in this vicinity
are all run down, no strength, hardly
able to drag about. Don't know what
ails them.
In ninety-nine cases out of a hum
dred it is simply q rundown condi-
ton of the system-in other words,
general debility.
Our Vinol is the one great tonic re-
constructor which they need. 1t will
create strength, tone up the digestive
organs, cure all stomach troubles,
create a healthy appetite, make rich,
red blood and strengthen every organ
in the body to do its work. It will
drive away every feeling of lassitude,
heaviness and depression, and infuse
new life and energy.
Vinol is not q patent medicine, con-
taifls no injurious drugs, but 1t is the
most delicious and valuable prepara-
ton of cod liver oil known to medi-
cine. without a drop of oil to retard
it's work. .... .. ......a.

STRIKING COLORS
WILL Be PROPER
WHAT WE'LL DRESSED MEN MUST
WEAR THIS YEAR
for Spring and Summer-Panama
Hat Continues to Lose In Favor
Two Styles of Sack Suits Offered.

While the shiVers are not off the seem
cry, and tailOrs, haberdashers and shoe
dealers continue in the slough Of despond
because there is nothing doing the
thoughts of the man who essays to dress
well are unavoidably turning to the sub
ject of what he shall wear this year.
A. pilgrimage to several shops where the
Smartest of the young men Of the COM
munity are able to increase their self
respect, produces certain definite impress
sions as what Is the proper thing to
wear this year. e., /
There are offered by the settlers Of the
pace two styles Of sack coats, each cut
n. little longer than was the vogue last
year. when the absentee of sufficient skirt
was sometimes painfully apparent: the
double e-breasted sack, which is best made
OF serge, and the single breasted, spring
back, square cut, four-button sack. The
shoulders are broad and the waist narrow
with no flare at the hips. There Is less
OF tho peg top" effect in trousers, altho
they are still wide at the hips. The vest
Is cut medium low four-button and sim
gle-breasted, preferably with collar.
Blue serge Is still standard for the sum-
Iner suit, altho quiet mixtures In flannels
will be worn during business hours, anc
there are some smart effects in tweeds
vicunas and homespuns. The plain white
flannel for outing Is still in vogue
There Will be so little spring this year thai
spring styles are not worth talking about
The smartest tailOrs are pressing brown
and gray serges.
In hats, black is holding it's own against
brown and the small block has not kept
it's promise of popularity. The standard
straw hat will be the straight -brirnmed
split straw sailor with black ribbon, an(
the Panama will pass thru another sea
son Of it's decadencc.
The tan shoe In ordinary leather or pig
skin will hold sway for business or out
ing use. and the low or Oxford shoe will
be the thing. But it will be for summer
use only. Following this style there will
be great deal in tan hose, but for thos
who object to the possible sameness o
shoes and socks of the one color ther
have been provided solid blues and greens
and gun metal shades Checks are .als

Without Authority.
A refreshment stand has been erected

somewhat exercised. Barnet has long
urged the board to grant him the privil-

referred the matter to Superintendent

Poll .Taxes Must Be Paid.

Out of four or five thousand voters in this city only S20 have paid the poll tax that becomes delinquent on Febru- ary l, next. And this, too, in a politl- cal year, when officers are to be se- lected and elected all the way from constable to president.
 Let there be no mistake about the poll tax now due and payable. It must be paid on or before the first day of next month by all voters under forty five years of age, under pain of disfran- chisement alike at the polls and in the primary No man can vote in either unless he pays all poll taxes assessed against him. A registration certificate is valueless unless it is backed up by tax receipts.
 The poll taxes, too, are cumulative, and until this years tax is paid the de- linquent cannot vote. If he lets ten years go by without paying poll taxes, Le must in order to become full citi- zen again pay S15. Nor can he drift along to the age of forty-five, and escape the penalty for he must then pay all poll taxes that had been as- sessed against him before he can vote.
 The cumulative feature of the tax is very harsh, but it is imbedded in the constitution of 1901, and there it will stay. The citizen who desires to re- main a full citizen must pay poll taxes, and in this city only 820 have thus far decided to retain all their political rights. Perhaps it would have been more effective to have provided that no man shall aspire to public office un- less he has paid all poll taxes as- sessed against him. The makers of the constitution, however, decided to declare that an elector cannot vote un- less he had paid on or before the pre- vious first day of February all poll taxes assessed against him, beginning with the tax of 1901, and it is this pro- vision that demands attention this | month

Civil Service in Congress.

Ohio and Iowa are kicking over the traces. MT. Grosvenor, representing Ohio, and MT. Hepburn, representing Iowa, declare that civil service reform should be undone, because to the vic tors belong the spells. The friends of the administration" said MT. Hepburn, ashould hold all the available places" There was some talk about the rotten ness in the postoffice department, but MT. Hepburn, the ablest republican in tie house and ito real leader, went to the marrow of the republican conten- ton when he said that all democrats in the civil service should be driven out. and their places filled by repuo- lfcans. On this issue they carried the house. and lAe appropriation for the civil service commission office was stricken out. It may be replaced, but in committee of the whole 1t was stricken out by vote of 7S to 65

WILL PURIFY MORALS.
New Organization Will ostroclse DI-

New York, January 14.-Social ostracism for divorcees, wearers of decolette gowns. gamblers, including players of bridge, whist and users of liquors is the object of society which has been organized here under the name of Daughters of the Faith" Its purpose is declared to be to 'discountenance these usages and cus- toms that are the evident causes of the spread of moral evil in society,"
 Women of the best families and most distinguished Catholics in New York city are among the charter members.
 The most severe strictures are contain ed in the manual, open only to the mem bers. which contains a foreword by Car dinal Gibbons Monsignor Falconi and Archbishop Farley. In the manual the members of the society are pledged not to accept or extend invitations to divorced person who has married during the life of the person from whom he or she has been divorced; not to be present at any entertainment at which any form. of gam bling including bridge whist for money Is carried on not to drink in public cock tails or any other alcoholic beverage, and to abstain from all such drinking. unless of wine In moderation at private dinners.
 The society has been informally carried on two years. Tn the future 1t Is to be governed by an executive board under the supervision of the archbishop of New York

WHAT WE SELL ABROAD.

From the New York World.
 The reason why Uncle John Rockefeller has marked up the price of gallon of oil in this country Is out-ln the United States report of exports complete for 1903.
 A pretty good year, on the whole, but the exports of oil dropped sr4m 1.045. 0Oo,- GOO gallons to sos, 100000 gallons. which was unfortunate for users of midnight oil in America.
 Exports of cotton are reckoned by years ending with September 1, convenient line between old cotton and new. The year up to September 1 was the best with a single exception that we have ever had. bringing to the country some $31o, ,00o, GOO of foreign money.
 The four months beginning with Sep tember 1 were, however, record breakers. With average export prices of Ill cents a pound the money received in four months was $22l, 900, OOO against s154,000, 900 in the same period last year.
 The total sales of the principal articles of provisions. including cattle and hogs, were just under $2O0,0v,voO, which is an easy number to remember It beat last year by about $1o.OOOOOO, which is also easy to carry in the head, but is less than either the 1900 or 1901 total
 Breadstuffs are not included in the $20O. 100000. These form class by them selves, with a total of s192 OOO,OOO, against $1S7 900 in 1902 But in 1901 we Sold S267, 900 worth of breadstuffs.

in the debate was MT. Bartlett of Georgia, and his contention was that the civil service rules had been vie- lated. It does not appear that he op- posed civil service reform, but rather that he wanted more of it in the post office department Some democrats may have voted against civil service reform.
 As the matter stands Ohio and Iowa want moro available places" Messrs. Hepburn and Lacy. both from Iowa, de- nounced plan that harbors democrats in the civil service, and MT. Grosvenor of Ohio was close behind them. Ohio and Iowa now have an undue propor- ton of available places" and yet they want more. They are worse than Oliver Twist. To make the matter plain an amendment should be prepared that would turn out all democrats in the departments and admit Ohio and Iowa men only to take their places. This would satisfy Messrs. Hepburn and Grosvernor, and nothing less will

LETTERS TO EDITOR.
The Panama Treaty.

thS e4hGIi6
 To the Editor of the Age-Herald:
 If the government of this country really is what it claims to be-a government of the people, by the people and for the peo- pie, surely when the people express their desires upon a certain question 1t be- comes the duty of our representatives to act and vote in accos lnce with these de- sires
 Now, if there Is any one thing palmer than another it is the desire of the Amer ican people to obtain an isthmian canal. Its advantages from every viewpoint are recognized; its necessity has become inn perative; time and circumstances favor the project; still the golden opportunity is being neglected whilst talk. talk, talk Is wasting the precious moments
 Everyone who has read the Pilgrims Progress knows what an obstacle in Christians path MT. Palliative was, and there is hardly any path of human pro- gress that Is not obstructed by member of that family.
 What does all this talk amount to any, way? The independence of Panama is universally admitted to be an accomplish ed fact. How it was effected Is a side issue; the consequences, time alone can disclose. What concerns us, especially here in the south, is the immediate ratifi- cation of the treaty so we may start to work on the canal.
 Legislative, municipal and commercial bodies have adopted resolutions endorsing the governments action and requesting our representatives In congress to ratify the treaty. Surely these representatives, if they claim to be such, should sink their own individual views upon the matter and be governed by these resolutions. This isthmian canal question Is not, and should not be made, party question; it | is a national question, an international question. To the United States only is | the construction of the canal possible or permissible, and the United States is able, ready and willing to proceed with the
 work to completion.
 | Animadversion and pessimistic prophecy I seems to be the sole stock in trade of
 the opponents to ratification. This is neither honorable nor patriotic. It savers more of politics than statesmanship and tends to degrade a great national under
 taking down to the level of a dispensary | issue.
 If 1t is to be matter of Nicaragua or
 nothing" the logical conclusion will be I nothing" at least in our time; and who knows but that when the canal question comes up a century hence there may not | be as strenuous an opposition to Mica ragua then as there Is now to Panama. We must either pursue our course now or stand stultified in the face of the world; there is no go back Our action has the approval of the world. We are not annexing Panama; we are not despoi- ing Colombia we are going to spend a vast sum of our own money upon a Her culean labor for the general good, in which if we fail. we alone lose; if we succeed, the world gains.
 Honor and glory to the man who begins this great emprise and immortality | awaits him who says "consumatum est" P. I. MONKS.
