CONSUMPTION
Mainly Caused by Chronic Colds and
Hansine-on Coughs.

At the Red Cross Pharmacy they
have given a good deal of time to the
study of consumption, and find thai
comparatively few cases are heredi-
tary.
Mostly all are caused by neglected
coughs and colds, which gradually
weaken the whole pulmonary system,
and before people realize it there is a
diseased spot in one lung; splitting
blood soon follows and eventually a
collapse.
Such an unnecessary end, such a
pity, for all could have been SO differ
ent. We know of hundreds of cases
where our wonderful cod liver oil prep
aration, Vinol, has saved a young and
valuable life, which without 1t would
have been sacrificed. We have letters
from people who we're given up to die,
and who positively state that Vinol,
and Vinol alone, saved their lives when
all else had failed to help them.
Vinol is able to cure %nanging-on colds
and stubborn coughs, because 1t is the
most perfect preparation of cod liver
oil ever compounded; it contains no
oil or grease to upset the delicate
stomach, yet it does contain every one
of the fifty odd medicinal curative ele-
ments actually taken from fresh Gods
livers and we freely and publicly state
that We will-supp'y all the Vinol we
think necessary to cure any case OF
chronic debilitated conditions Of Lar
annie people, and pay for the medi-

THEY LACK MORAL STAMINA.

1t is a matter of keen regret that the
democratic press of Wyoming lacks
that moral stamina and high sense OF
honor and fairness that brings forth
praise and defense for the work and
character Of a political opponent. This
has been very noticeable during the
past week.
Senator Patterson of Colorado, the
leader of the democratic party of the
Centennial state and publisher of the
two most influential democratic pa
pers in the Rocky Mountain region, in
censed at the unfair, ridiculous and
cowardly attack upon Senator War
rem Of Wyoming, caused an impartial
investigation to be made by an able
correspondent and gave 10 the world
through his papers. the result of that
inquiry. The Wyoming senator was
indicated in every particular.
Not a single democratic paper in the
state of Wyoming had sufficient hon
or or character to give to its readers
the result Of this open, fair statement
made by the leading democrat of a
neighboring state. They chose to con-
tinue to blacken the reputation, in so
far as lay in their power, Of their neigh
Dor and friend-the man who has new
er hesitated to extend them a helping
hand in adversely and who has known
no party lines in the performance OF
his duties to the state. They lacked
the keen sense Of honor that would
have dictated the publication of this
manly refutation of the lies and insin-
uations that had been heaped upon
their worthy and honorable representa-
tive, but seized with keen avidity up
on the silly and ~nonsensical reply made
by the Post, to the effect that Senator
Patterson had sold himself to Senator
Warren for q free ride to the Philip
pines and free board during the time
covered by the trip. Could any sillier
answer have been made? Does Sena-
tor Warren control governmental at
fairs at Washington to such an extent
that he can say who shall and who
shall not go upon government business
to our dependencies? But in this case
it cuts no figure whether he does or
does not, as Senator Warren himself Is
going to the Philippines and Is not
urging that any senator be given the
place to which he has been assigned.
The Post claims to be independent
and fair; the Patterson papers pretend
to be democratic all the way through;
and yet the latter have sufficient self
respect to stand up for a man when
they know he is assaulted in an under
handed, unfair and unwarranted man
ner. In this particular Senator Patter-
son stands far above the measly on
scourings that pretend to represent the
democratic party of Wyoming. 1t may
be said to the credit Of the leading
democrats of this state that they have
not for a .ent endorsed the paltry.
scurrilor ..ackmailing efforts of the
Post in Its attempt to injure the In
fuence and character Of the very best
representative Of the people who fafls
from west Of the Mississippi river.

SHOE SHOPS OF JAPAN.
Sandals and Clogs the Only commod-
tiles In Demand,

oAnoAte ana Clogs the Only
tiles In Demand.
Like all other shops In Japan, q
shoe shop opens a broad side to the
street.
1t seems q misnomer to call it shoe
shop, a place where you III only buy
sandals or clogs. things we are not
accustomed to call shoes.
There is a low platform In front
upon which the customer sits and
drinks tea while making his or her
purchases, the shopkeeper meanwhile
squatting on his heels and discussing
the news Of the day.
The sandals worm by the rickshaw
coolies are called waraf; they are
woven of rice straw, and are sold for
a halfpenny a pair. They are made in
the country villages, and the foreigner
watches the weaving with amused in
terest.
The prehensible big toe of a Japa-
nese is Of great assistance. as it is
used for catching and holding the
straws, leaving the hands free to
weave.
The pack horse wears straw shoes,
as well as the farmer who leads him.
New pairs are strung around the high
saddle, and the slow moving beast
is reshod every few miles.
In the Japanese shop n will find
many varieties of clogs; a few with
caps, others plain. A few years ago
the social position of a man. woman
or girl was indicated by the kind Of
clog worn and the decoration on it.

Why Gambling Wa. Prohibited.

In England. as in Rome. gambling
was prohibited. not because 1t demon
allied, but because 1t rendered its
devotees effemiaate. An act passed in
1541 had In view the double object Of
maintaining the artillery and debar-
ring unlawful games" An act passed
during the reign of Queen Anne de-
clared that all bonds or other securi-
ties given for money won at play or
money lent at the time to play with
should be utterly void and all mort
cages or i~ncumbrance on lands made
on the same consideration should be
made over to the use of the mort
gagor. This continued to be the law
until 1S45.

Curious Facts Of Napoleon /.

A recently discovered manuscript
written by a schoolmate Of Napoleon
l., whose name was H. A. L. de Cas-
tres, contains curious Information re-
garding Napoleon in the years Of 1880
to 1874. When he entered the Mill
tary school at Brienne he knew SO
little of the French language that a
private teacher of It had to be en-.
gagged for him. He was tolerably
good in mathematics. and had an
amazing memory. He liked to play
robbers or war with the boys, but
cared little for ball playing or other
games.

few years ago nearly caused war in

As trouble seemed imminent, a white

girl to a native civil servant. Would
that end the matter? II believe she
has common sense" said the oficial.
