CONSUMPTION.
Its Cause and Suggested Means
of Recovery.

Consumption is not always an
inherited disease, and a large
percentage of cases may be at
tributed to the following causes:
First. defective digestion. See
ondly, imperfect nutrition as a
result of the first. Third, the
accumulation of morbid product
in the lungs as the result of i'm.
perfect nutrition, and this in turn
breaks down the function of res
piration and consumption is an
established disease.
The first step toward a cure
is to restore the function of nu'
triton, and to this end nothing
in the world excels Vinol.
1t is for this reann we want
every person in Lumberton tc
know about our delicious coo
liver preparation, Vinol, which il
far superior to old fashioned COO
liver oil and emultions because
it is made by scientific, extract

regard to sending papers to sub
scribers who are in arrears will
60 into effect April 1st. AS has
already been pointed out, this
law provides that publishers of
semiweekly papers shall not
send papers to subscribers who
are more than nine months in
arrears at the regular rate of
postage allowed newspapers, but
shall put a One-cent stamp on
every paper so sent. 1t is clear,
Of course, that no publisher can
afford to do that, and it should be
equally clear that this is a matter
in which we have no option.
Many of our subscribers have
been accustomed to paying at
the end of the year or at any
time during the year that best
suited their convenience, and this
has been perfectly satisfactory
to the paper and would still be
satisfactory were it possible,
which it will not be under the
new law. 1t need not make a
great deal of difference. thOuoh.
for it simply means that instead
of not letting your subscription
get more than twelve months in
arrears it will be necessary 10
see that it does not get behind
more than nine months. 1t is an
easy matter to tell from the label
on your paper or on the wrapper
in which the paper comes to you
just how your subscription
stands The Robesonian is anx-
ious, of course, not to have to cut
OF any subscribers on account of
their falling behind more than
nine months, and so We call at
tention to this matter again in
this way and besides we have
mailed, or will mail, to every sub
scriber who is in arrears . state
ment before April 1st. If for
any reason. however, you should
not receive = statement of amount
due, just look at your label, flg'
ure the amount you are due, and
remit.
We trust this matter is per
fectly clear. AS we have stated
there are quite 6 number of oul
subscribers whom we are per
fectly willing to credit until tht
end of the year, but thisnsw reg
ulation makes it necessary for u
to see that no subscriber gets
more than nine months behind
for in that event, no matter hoV
much we may regrethaving to d.
80, it will be necessary for US t.
cut that subscriber off until b,
has brought his date up to
DOint to enab US to send the On

When Sir Humphry Davy was a boy
about sixteen, little girl came to him
In great excitement:
Humphry, do tell me my these two
pieces of cane make a tiny spark OF
light when rub them together?''
Humphry, was a studious boy, who
spent hours in thinking out scientific
problems. He patted the child's curly
head and said:
Il do not know, dear. Let us see If
they really do make a light, and then
we will try to find out why"
Humphry soon found that the little
girl was right. The pieces Of cane If
rubbed together quickly did give q
tiny light. Then he set to work to find
out the reason. and after some time,
thanks to the observing powers of his
little friend and his own kindness to
her in not impatiently telling her not
to IVORY" as so many might have
done, Humphry Davy made the first
of his interesting discoveries. Every
reed, cane and grass has an outer skin
Of finty stuff, which protects the in
side from insects and also helps the
frail looking leaves to stand upright.

DANGER IN DELAY.
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous
for Bemidji People to
NeuIect.

The great danger of kidney
troubles is that they get a firm
hold before the sufferer recognizes
them. Health is gradually under
mined. Backache, headache,
nervousness, lameness, soreness,
lumbago,. urinary troubles, dropsy
diabetes and Bright's disease fol-
low in merciless succession. Don't
neglect your kidneys. Cure the
kidneys with the certain and safe
remedy, Doans Kidney Pills,
which has cured people right here
in Bemidji.
Mrs. E. E. Hanks, living at 223
Park Ave-, Bemidji, Mimi, says:
81 used Doan's Kidney Pills and
the benefit I derived was very
great. There was a dull pain
in the small of my back which
caused me much suffering. I
became dizzy at times and dark
objects would apparently float
before my eyes. Hearing about
Kidney Pills, I procured a box
from the Owl Drug Store. felt
much better in every way after
using them, and my strength end
ambition returned.'

The Uaiiest Beast.

Probably the ugliest beast in the
world is a monkey, grewsome look
ing animal called the bearded saki
This is so utterly grotesque a beast
that it would scarcely be safe to let q
child or nervous person see it. The
ugliness is not Of an amusing kind, but
Of an evil, sinister nature. The beast
has sort Of beard and countenance
unlike anything else in shape and
lines. The monkey itself is not partic-
ularly savage, but is so hideous that
the natives Of It's country, South Amer
lea, say that no beast Of prey, however
hungry, will tackle it. Even hungry
aaguar will starve in cageful Of sakis.

Mckinley for Treosurer-Mr. Taft
in Conferences at Hot Springs.

Hot Springs, Va July THE executive com
mittee of the Republican National Committee
will meet here tomorrow, and from present
indications there will be only brief session. at
which Frank H Hitchcock will be elected chair
man, and Representative Mckinley, of Illinois,
will be made treasurer of the national com
mittee
Senator HemenWay and Representative Wat
SON of Indiana. representing the Fairbanks men;
Representative Mckinley, who had charge of
the Cannon campaign, and Representative
Burke Of Pennsylvania, who represented Sen
ator Knox's candidacy say they have no objec-
tions to Hitchcock.
In the case of Mr.. Mckinley there is only one
sentiment and that is in his favor for the Office
of trea asurer Mr. Mckinley has long been
considered for the treasurership. but he is
treasurer of the Congressional Campaign Com
rnittee IL was for some time supposed that the
opposition to having him leave that work would
operate against his selection But that objec
tfon has been overcome by the proposition that
he should be treasurer of both committees 1t
is said to be desirable to bring the committees
into closer relationship, and that one treasurer
for both of them would be in line with that
policy
Mr.. Taft spent the afternoon to-day in
series of conferences First Representative
Burke had a long talk with him. and then Sen
ator Hcmenway and Representative Watson
were with him two hours. Finally Powell Clay
ton, na5ioral committeeman for Arkansas and
a member of the executive committee. and Rich
ard c. kerens talked with him. At the end of
these conferences Mr.. Taft mounted his black
horse and, with Frank e. Kellogg, rode up the
