No doubt the business men of Eli

ed on the president and asked him
to make a public speech, defining his
policy Of federal control Of public
service concerns; but whether they
were actuated by voluntary motives
springing from their apprehension OF
serious results of present conditions,
or were stimulated to such action by
the covert suggestion of interests in
imical to the administration, We can
not see how the president can more
clearly define his position and policy,
than he has by word and deed in the
Cast twelve months. President
Roosevelt has not only asserted that

CONSUMPTION
Mainly Caused by Chronic Colds and
Hanging-On Coughs.

A prominent New England scient-
list has given a good deal of time to
the study of consumption, and finds
that comparatively few cases are
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 diff
ferent. We know of many instances
where our valuable cod liver prepare
ton. vinol. has been most beneficial
in such cases.
Vinol is able to cure hanging-on
colds, stubborn coughs, strengthen
the lungs. and thus prevent the de-
velopment of consumption, because
1t is the most perfect cod liver prep
aration ever compounded; it contains
no oil or grease to upset the delicate
stomach. yet 1t does contain every
one of the fifty odd medicinal cura-
tive elements actually taken from
fresh Gods livers, with tonic iron add
ed. We ask all Paducah people to
try Vinol for weak lungs. chronic
coughs, hanging-on colds, or run
down and debilitated conditions, and
win pay for the medicine ourselves
if It fails to benefit.
How can we express our faith in
Yinol more emphatically? w. B. Nc

Dromgoole, the author The recita-
ton of Miss Martha Tuggle, of Mem
phis, was one of the most charming
and effective pleasures of the con-
ference. She gave with simplicity
and expression a beautiful poem on
Home Mission work.
The address of the evening was
made by Miss Mabel Head. of Nash
vile, Tenn, associate secretary of
the Woman's Home Mission board.
Miss Head soon captured her audi
ence and held their undivided atten-
ton and sympathy throughout. She
has Travelled extensively in the
bounds of the Home Mission work,
and had her facts well in hand, and
what is more important even, pre-
scented them in a most vivid and per-
sonal way. She is delightful, easy
and graceful speaker, with humor
and pathos finely allied, and is most
womanly withal.
In opening Miss Head stated that
the motto that adorned the wall of
the church that night "To save Amer
lea, to save the world,' had become
the motto of the Home Mission, and
that 1t had been said 1.-THE United
States was Gods right arm in saw

number of startling statistics in re-
gard to immigration and the prob

in quantity and decrease of quality

been suggested that as the United
States was not sending Christianity
fast enough into other lands the peo-

gave many pathetic Illustrations OF

in the Kentucky and North Carolina
mountains by the schools at London,
