". +. Wokeman Thinks All Supplies
Should Be Bought Here.
LBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRrBUNE.I

Atlanta May l6-Commenting the de-
cision Of the Panama Commission TO buy ma
terial for the Panama Canal in the worlds mar
kets. Wilbur F Wakeman, treasurer of the
American Protective Tariff League, who is here
attending the Manufacturers Convention, says:
am astonished that the administration Of the
Panama Canal enterprise should even think Of
purchasing the material for the canal from for
eign countries. The Panama Canal is an Amer
lean enterprise The canal zone belongs to the
United States government, IS under the Amer
ican flag. American control and American man
agemeut- American taxes will be collected to
pay for the Panama Canal, and for the isthnlian
commission TO use any foreign materials or any
foreign products which can be secured in the
United States seems almost un-American.
II occurs 10 me that this question should be
submitted to the Board of United States General
Appraisers and to the courts to determine the
power Of the commission to purchase foreign
materials without the payment of the regular
duties prescribed in the Dlngley Tariff act. AS
indicated IN the statement of Secretary Taft
this subject Of the purchase of foreign materials
was before Congress at the last session without
any definite action, consequently il seems but
natural that the laws Of the United States
should apply, unless the courts shall decide TO
the contrary.

HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL.

HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL,
BOSTON, Oct. 1. 1904
Dear Father:
L have not written to you for some
days, and so will just drop you line
to let you know that l am well and
getting along nicely in my medical
studies.
We had a very interesting lecture
today at the University and perhaps
you will be interested to hear about
it.
The professor was talking about
those wonderful medicinal curatives
which are found nowhere except in the
Gods liver, and which we now have
at our command in that sterling old
remedy. Vinol, which was first used a
hundred years ago. The professor
spoke very well of Vinol, and stated
that in all wasting diseases, weakness
after sickness, run down, nervous.
overworked conditions. with loss of
flesh appetite and sleep in young and
old, there has never been discovered
such a splendid strength, flesh and
vitality making tonic as Vinol.
He then showed the class a few
drops of the very disgusting oil, which
he assured us was taken from the
Gods liver, and about a hundred years
ago before it was discovered how to
separate the medicinal curatiVes from
the greasy oil, thus making Vinol, this
oily substance was actually taken into
the stomach as a medicine. We were
all much surprised, and could hardly
believe that even a hundred years ago
people could have been so ignorant
and misinformed as to use this oil in
it's crude state.
The professor then said that since
the introduction of Vinol the old
forms of cod liver oil and emulsions
have been laid by as practically use
less, and that for nearly a century
Vinol has been considered by both doc
tors and patients the greatest OF all
strength making. healing tonics.
Hoping you are well, / remain. with
love to mother and sister Mary
Your affectionate son,
JOHN.

where he attended the annual meet
ing of the State Council of the I'm
proved Order of Red Men.
The meeting, Col. Pogue said, was
more largely attended than any previ-

the subordinate councils showed the

ton, a large number of new tribes
having been instituted in all parts of
the State.
Mr.. L. V. Denton represented
Occonneechee Tribe No. 16. and was
chairman of the Finance Committee
of the council.

was present and exemplified in an
impressive manner the secret work
of the order, and he praised the great
chiefs. Salisbury entertained the
visiting Red Men Hospitality
Col Pogue was honored by being
placed on the Court of Appeals, which
has the same relations to the Red
Men as has the Supreme, Court of
the State. All questions arising in
the tribes are referred to this court
for settlement
