OLD FOLKS.
THEIR DAYS MAY BE PROLONGED
How the Evening of Life May be Made
Happier for All.

IF people only knew the good that
Vinol does old people" said Mr.. King
of the w. Fl. King Drug Co, columns
of space in our newspapers would be
devoted to the subject for the benefit
of mankind in general. l can truly
say that we have never sold anything
in our store equal to Vinol as a
strengthened and body builder for old
people.
You see. with old age comes feeble
ness and loss of power, the organs act
more slowly and less effectually than
in youth, the appetite is poor. the di-
gestiOn weak, and there is not that
same renewal of body tissue.
There is nothing more pitiful to me
than to see old people lettering
around. l know that Vinol cannot
lenothen life and brighten the years
that remain.
I'VE are hearing from all over the
country remarkable results which
prove my statement, and we have re-
ceived letters from sons and DAUGHTERS
of old people telling how father or
mother has been made we'll and happy
by the vigor and strength which Vinol
brings the old.
1T was only a few days ago a letter
was brought to my attention from Mr.
John G.. Nichols. of Lawrence, Mass,
in which he said that he was eighty
four years old and he had not felt so
we'll for fifteen years as he had since
taking Vinol; it gave aim a good aDDe-
tite, and he feels strong and we'll and
is working every day from six o'clock
in the morning until five o'clock at
night"
ct is just this way" continued Mr..
King, ''Vinol invi"orates the stomach
first of all, creates an appetite and
enables the stomach to separate from
food the elements needed for rich, red
blood, healthy body matrial and sound,
steady nerves. In this natural manner
it repairs worn tissues, checks the
natural decline and replaces weakness
with strength.
For any one suffering from any
weakened, run down condition Vinol
will do the same; and it is because we
know so we'll what Vinol will do that
we guarantee it's action. and we will
gladly refund the money paid for it to
any one who is not satisfied. | wish
every old person in this vicinity would
just try Vinol on our guarantee. If it
does not satisfy. then it viii not cost

ibid NOT BUY A REVOLVER.
SO Declares Smith-Will Not Plead to
Indictment Until Friday.
(By the Associated Press.


New York, April Ia. Morgan
Smith and his wife who were brought
here from Cincinnati yesterday to an
swer charge of conspiracy with Nan
Patterson to obtain money from Gaze
sar Young, will not plead to the in
dictment until next Friday. They
were arraigned in the Court of Gen
eral Sessions today but upon request
of their attorney the case was con-
tnued. Bail was fixed at $4,000
each, which up to late hour tonight
had not been furnished.
Before being taken to the TomDs
prison Smith made a statement in
which he said:
Il am very glad to be back in New
York The name OF my family mas
been besmirched. | have not had a
chance to clear it but / will. My
movements on the day the pistol was
bought are very easily traced. / had

record was in the trunk which was
confiscated in Cincinnati and is now
in the possession of the district attor-
ney. l am very grateful for the dis
trict attorney having it.
II did not buy that revolver and I
defy anyone to swear or identify me
as the man.
Asked why he and his wife left New
York so hurriedly last June he :n-
swered:
II have no reply to make. I wiIl
not discuss my case further except
on advice of counsel"
Among the witnesses in court TO
identify Smith was Hyman Stern, the
pawnbroker who sold the revolver
with which Caesar Young was killed.
Before going into court Stern said
he was doubtful if he could positively
identify Smith. He said he saw so
many people in his business it was
impossible to remember them all. At
ter he had seen Smith, Stern to lay

Montreal, Canada, April 12.-The
Gaynor-Greene case came up again to-
day before Judge Lafontaine. Donald
McMaster argued for the prosecution,
quoting from many letters and docu-
ments that were used in trial of Cap
tain Oberlin Carter
When the hearing adjourned Mr..
McMaster had not concluded his argu-
ment. The greater part of this time
was devoted to showing there was a
crime for which the accused were
.answerable. Captain Carter had been
tried and found guilty, he said, and
there We're many things which indi-
Gated that he was intimate with
Greene and Gaynor and in league with
them. Mr.. McMaster referred to vari-
Gus checks and traced them from the
accused to Captain Carter, and en-
deavored to show what disposition he
had made of them. 1t was apparent,
he said, that there had been an equal
division into three parts of the profits

WHAT A STRIKE COST.
Chicago Obliged to Divert Money
Needed For improvements Into
Payments For Police Service.

1t will never be known definitely
Just what the recent strike Of the
transfers cost the people Of Chicago.
That the total would run we'll into
the millions, however, Is a conserva-
tive estimate, judging from the single
item Of the expense to the municipal
ity for extra police protection.
Some time ago 1t was discovered
that the city could add $5,000,000 to
it's bonded debt, and the people au-
thorized an issue of bonds to this
amount for specific public improve
ments. The end Of the teamsters' strike
found 100000 Of these bonds still
unsold and an emergency strike debt
Of some $365,000. To pay this bill the
council has retired the 100000 Of
bonds and ordered their reissue in such
form that they may be used for general
corporate purposes.
Thus 1865, 000-or the estimated
cost Of lowering the two river tun-
nels-goes to pay extra policemen for
defending the lives Of citizens and pro-
tecting their property while supine
city administration practically gave
license to the striking teamsters to
make the ordinary business Of peace
full citizens full Of turmoil and haz-
ard.
Money that the people intended to
go into sorely needed permanent I'M
provements has been diverted to meet
the cost Of lawlessness that never
should have gone to the extent 1t did.
The cost Of this one strike Is the
$365,000 the city pays for extra police
service, plus what the county has to
psy for special deputy sheriffs, plus
the loss to merchants, railways, man.
ufacturers, etc., in business; plus lost
wages to the strikers, plus a dozen
other items that 1t would be difficult
to enumerate. And this only en-
braces money cost. 1t takes no &C.
count of inconvenience to citizens, Of

is published in these columns, COM
ments upon these two land laws.
The Communication clause originally
provided that after eight months Of
residence on a homestead claim a
man could commute" by paying to
the government $1.25 an acre and get
immediate title to his land. After a
number of years of operation it was
conceded that this clause had opened
the door for much land requirement
without settlement, and amid a great
blare Of trumpets, Congress, In a
spasm of virtue, extended the time to
fourteen months. What has been the
result of this amendment? The OPP
ponents of the repeal of the commuta-
ton clause have presented specific
reasons why this law should not be
touched; that the entryman needs to
"prove up" and get title to his land
80 that he can mortgage his property
and with the money buy groceries,
tools, ETC., with which to work his
farm, which may sound well, but the
fact seems to remain that the great
bulk OF the commuted homesteads are
not to-day homes,
Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1905-12-30

There Is a class of people who have
apparently lost sight of the fact that
the federal land laws, from the home
stead law down, and even before the
homestead law, were enacted for the
purpose Of fostering the making Of
homes for the nation; they seem to
think, and 1t must be confessed that
they have successfully put into prac-
tice their belief, that the laws are to
be construed into passing on the title
from the government into private
hands with absolutely no regard to
homemaking. They argue that when
the public domain goes into private
ownership it becomes taxable property
and this helps the country and the
State, and the question is ignored as
to whether men and women go upon
that land and make homes and rear
families.
The following part of the report Of
the Public Lands Commission shows
that the Communication clause at pres
ent Is farce and that land can be
entered under it and almost immedi-
ately added to already large individual
holdings. The Commission recon-
mends that the period of residence
be extended from fourteen months to
actual and not constructive, as it is
at present. With such law strictly
enforced the evils of the commute
ton clause would be largely obviated.
It is. however, highly improbable that

they should be admitted as separate

he would be unwilling to pay $1.25 an
acre for immediate title, when by an
additional two years residence, he
could save this amount.
The provisions of the desert land
act, and the recommendation for the
amendment of which is included in the
following report will be discussed in
next weeks article.
Communication Clause of the Home
stead Act.
In the preceding report state
ment was made that our investiga-
tons respecting the operations Of the
Communication clause of the homestead
law were still in progress. We were
not at that time prepared to recon-
mend its repeal. Investigations car
ried on during the past year have
convinced us that prompt action
should be taken in this direction and
that, in the interest or settlement, Il
Communication clause should be great
ly modified.
A careful examination Of the dis
trictS where the commute ton clause
is put to the most use shows that
there has been q rapid increase of the
use of this expedient for passing
public lands into the hands of cor
porations or large landowners The
object of the homestead law was pri-
marily to give to each citizen, the
head Of family, an amount of land
up to 100 acres, agricultural in char
acter so that homes would be created
in the wilderness. The Communication
clause, added at a later date, was
undoubtedly intended to assist the
honest settler, but like many other
well-intended acts it's original intent
has been gradually perverted until it
is apparent that a great part of all
committed homesteads remains unin-
habited. In other words, under the
Communication clause the number of
patents furnishes no index to the
number of new homes.
To prove this statement it is only
necessary to drive through a country
where the commutatIon clause has
been largely applied. Field after
field is passed without a sign of per.
manent habitation or Improvement
other than fences. The homestead

But 1t would be a mistake for other

You have to have perfectly colossal

them on a margin; you have to have
the whole thing and put them in your
