At Indian Harbor where the Strsth-

State pride has caused number Of
in the navy to so manage it that they
were assigned to the great ship named
for their own state. From one of them,
Edgar Hurst of Cass county, the St.
Louis Republic has received letter in
which he sets forth the desire of the
boys to have genuine Missouri mule
as a ships mascot. Hurst says:
If you know any public spirited cit
izen who has an extra mule in his garage.
we, the crew, would be greatly pleased
to receive 1t. We have already in our
possession a silver service and bell. but
a mule is the one essential thing our
hearts most crave.
Some of the difficulties attendant up
on the care, feeding and petting of IL
mule aboard ship naturally come to
mind. For instance, not being all
aquatic animal, this gentle hybrid
might suffer from NAL de mer, but
this difficulty could be met by some
loyal Missouri druggist who happens
to be overstocked with bromo setter.
Green food would constitute another
problem, but some boy reared on Il
dairy farm could readily convert one

difficulty worthy of serious thought
and hesitation, and that lies in the
question, Might not the mule in a play

the sides of the ship and cause more
damage than the guns Of Ceryera's
feet? But, taking it all in all, it looks
as If the boys should have the mule.

Certainty of successful season ON

single factor to the confidence that is

Comparatively little new grain has
been marketed thus far which Is
largely due to the planting of winter
wheat and other preparations for next
year that are unusually extensive.
Manufacturing activity is fully main
tanned, the leading industries having
contracts assuring little idle ma
chinery during the balance of the year
and it is probable that more business
will be carried over into 1906 than at
the opening of any previous year.

favor Of constitutional amendment

ought to couple with that proposition
the following: The presidential term
ought to be increased to six years and
the incumbent rendered forever ineli-

representatives in congress have been
indicted for high crimes and misde-
meanors. One. Quay, was tried on the
merits of his case and acquitted. An
other escaped through some TECHNICAL
ty. Two, Burton and Mitchell, have
been convicted and light sentences i'm
posed. Burton's case was reversed by
the supreme court of the United States
because the venue was improperly laid
in the Indictment. 1t is doubtful if he
can be again convicted. Mitchell's case
stands on appeal. So far the two rep

though one has been twice tried, and
his third trial is in progress while this

Halifax, n. s., Jan. 5.-Further inter.
esting developments have come to light
In connection with the charges Of bril-
berry and corruption in the general cleo
tions of Nov 3, which have been made
freely BY both Liberals and Conserya-
tives. The latest charges are made BY
S. w. Pickup. Liberal member Of Par.
lament, against whom petition has
been filed, asking that he be unseated.
Pickup, in a counter petition against his
Conservative opponent, Mr.. Shaffner, de-
mands the latter's disqualification.
He charges that the Conservative
workers entered into an agreement with
David Russell, a wei known capitalist
and newspaper owner Of Montreal and
st. John, and with Hugh Graham, pub
Usher of the Montreal Star, whereby the
latter We're to furnish money to assist
that party. Pickup, in his petition, all
leges that the Conservatives also had
an agreement with james Crathern OF
Montreal and Others to collect sums
from supporters of their party, the mon.
ely to be paid to agents, committees and
other workers.
Russell is an influential friend Of the
Hon, a. G. blair, the former minister Of
railways and canals, who resigned HIS
place in Sir Wilfred Lauriers cabinet
and his seat in Parliament as protest
against the Grand Trunk Pacific trans
continental railways project. Russel's

eral organ in New Brunswick, bolted

newspapers to have the whole question

BUT IT DOESN'T.
Many Have the Erroneous Idea That
Fat Makes Fat.

Fat taken into the stomach does not
necessarily make fat.
Thousands Of physicians have pre-
seribed cod liver oil for wasting diseases.
They know that the fat or oil Is not what
Is necessary 70 make fat or build tissue
They also know that the oil OF fatty part
OF cod liver oil Is very Objectionable, 1t
being too rich to be digested by stomach
weakened by disease.
The reason doctors prescribe cod liver
oil Is because It contains certain curative
properties. II Is to take advantage of
these same curative properties that they
have so often tried TO force their patients
to take this horrible, greasy, yile-Smelling,
nauseatlng remedy.
II never was the oil OF cod liver oil that
created flesh, but the medicinal proper
ties contained thereln-the oil has always
been hindeIance These medicinal ele.
ments Of the Gods liver have for years
been known TO act favorabiy upon the
stomach, provided the stomach could stand
the greasy oil
They create an appetite for good, whole
some food, and cause the proper assimIIa-
tion Of the body building properties Of
every day food, so that strength, flesh and
general health are built up by natura
means.
Therefore, II is not the oil of the Gods
liver that is valuable, but the medicinal
elements contained therein.
Now, this explains why yinol Is the
best preparation Of cod liver oil made It
contains only the active medicinal ele-
ments taken from genuine fresh Gods
livers, and In its process of making the
oil Is thrown away entirely
Thus Vinol Is recognized by the best
authorities at home and abroad as a better
flesh and strength creator than any oily or
greasy preparation that ever was made.
