A USE FOR EVERYTHING
Nothing Yet Ever Created
Without a Purpose
A THEORY DIFFICULT TO BE BE-
LIEvED IN SOME INSTANCES.
Many Think Nature Might Have Been
Improved Upon in Many Ways.

We all wonder why certain things
were ever made, why certain animals
or insects were allowed to live. And
vet there is no doubt that everything
was intended for some purpose, and
as civilization advances, such pur-
poses are discovered.
Cod liver oil is something that
everybody knows to have been a wise
provision of Providence, to be used in
all wasting diseases. Why Nature
should have appended to this valuable
remedy it's horrible odor and most ter
rible taste is also something that many
have wondered at. But that was Ma
tures way. She gave to man the
crude materials, and has left to his in
telligence to overcome many of its OBJ
iectionable features.
This is exactly what has happened
in regard to cod liver oil. Everybody
knows its value. Everybody knows
how necessary it is for physicians to
prescribe it in many instances. Every
body also knows that it is one of the
most terrible medicines to take that
can be imagined. There is no longer
need of taking it; that is, in the form
in which we have been accustomed to
know it.
Mr.. Geo. w. Putnam, of this city,
has associated himself with a Boston
house which is producing a prepara-
tion known as Vinol. This is not a
patent medicine Any one may see, on
the label of each bottle, or Mr.. Putnam
will tell any one who calls on him, ex-
actly what Vinol contains. As he ex-
plaiped yesterday: "We have simply
found out how to extract the active
medicinal principles from the cod s
liver that has made cod liver oil valu-
able. This we may obtain in the form
of a concentrated extract. The grease,
with all its vile odor, is left behind.
That, too, has its purpose. 1t is valu-
able for dressing leather, but as for
its being in any way good for man as
a medicine, it is absolutely worthless.
"Now we take the medicine that
we have obtained, or the concentrated
medicinal properties of the cod s liver,
and place just the right quantity of
his extract in a delicious, mild table
wine, and there you have the whole
story. Anybody can learn in minute
hat Vinol is tasteless. Any one who
S compelled to take cod liver oil can
ind out in few days how much more
benefit can be derived from Vinol than
could ever have been obtained from
,od liver oil in its crude form"
Mr.. Putnam's enthusiasm in regard
to Vinol is indeed well founded. The
which he is handling will
be in short time one of the best
known in the world.

Breyman,s Installed Fountain.

The report Of the street committee Is
slightly misleading in one partieUls-,
as it leaves the inference to be drawn
that the city betrayed the expenses If
installing the fountain, which IS an er
ror, The Breymans installed the foun-
tain complete, and it cost them about
$500 for the cement work alone. Besides
the water connections and electric wir-
ing, there was the expense Of setting it
up and providing drainage from the
fountain, which was all borne by the
Breymans. The city Insured the total
expense n street Improvements, sueA as
cement walks, eurbs, cutters, catch
basin and grading approaches, This
was an expenditure that the city alone
could properly bear and look after,
and it should be said for the Breymans
that they generously bore all tbe ex-

NEW YORK. Oct. 13.---Indications of an easier spot situation in the South brought abotfes sharp decline in the market for cotton futures today. The opening was steady at decline of 2G5 points in re- sponse to lower Liverpool cables than ex- pected and continued good weather in the South, but there was pretty good demand at first and for the better part of the morn ing prices huctuated around the initial level Private ajyices received from the South were a little less reassuring, how ever. as to the attitude of interior holders and in spite of predictions as to cooler weather in the northwestern part of the belt the market gradually sagged off with leading room bears exerting 8 most constant pressure in an evident effort to uncover stop orders. Later New Orleans joined in the selling movement and in the middle of the afternoon the market became quite weak following the official advices from the Southern spot markets reporting a light business with prices generally from 1-16c to 3-1sc lower The close was easy at the low est prices of the session. or at a net de- cline of 1561S points.
