AFTER The GRIPPE
Vinol Restored This Mans
Cfronut
Strength

Several years ago was attacked by
a severe case of grippe, which left me
with a hacking cough, soreness in my
chest, and bronchitis. | took nearly
every kind of cough syrup sold on the
market, besides medicine given me by
physicians
l received no pern.anert relief until
my druggist asked me to try Vinol
and after taking three bottles | was
entirely cured.
I believe Vinol to be the greatest
blessing ever offered to the public, as
it does what is claimed for it." R. q. r.
Hicks, Maplesville, Ala
The reason Vinol cures chronic
coughs, colds and pulmonary troubles
is because it contains tonic iron and
all the healing and body building ele-
ments of cod liver oil but no oil.
Vinol is also unexcelled as a strength
builder for old people, delicate children,
weak and rundown persons, and after
sickness.

Rival Steel Mills
 Erected in Canada

Pittsburg, May 2S.-Another move toward centering the iron and steel industry of the United States on the borders of the great lakes was made when a contract was closed by the AIgorna Steel Company for $500,O00 worth of heavy steel machinery to be delivered at Sault Ste. Marie, Canada, as quickly as possible. 1t is the in- tention of the Philade1phians and Londoners back of this. plant to have two immense steel mills there turn ing out bars and other steel products by Nov. 1.
 The nature of the machinery order ed shows that the mills to be erected will be rivals worthy of even the big gest and best Pittsburg mills. They will be by far the largest in Canada.
 After six years study those con- cerned in this project at the head of the great lakes have decided that it cheaper to carry the coal to the iron ore than to bring the ore to the coal, as has been the custom for years. It is the intention to go after the Cana dian trade and the trade of the North western States, a speciality being made of the steel entering into the

It will also cure acne, letter, blotches, scaly scalp, hives, barber's and every other form of itch, including itching feet Being flesh-colored. and containing no grease, the. presence of poslan on ex- posed surfaces, such as the face and hands, is not perceptible. Water and soap cannot be used in connection with it, as these irritate and prolong skin troubles, sometimes even causing them.
 As to the experimental package of poslam. it can be had free of charge by mail of the Emergency Laborator- les, 32 West Twenty-fifth Street, New York. It alone is sufficient to clear the complexion overnight, and to rid the face of pimples in twenty-four hours.

NO socCAsIoN FOR
 REPUBLICAN GLEE

Republican organs are gleefully pointing to the fact that several Dem ocratfc Senators have aided the regu- lar Republicans to impose protective duties Their inference therefrom is that the Democratic party is hopeless fly split upon the tariff question
 These organs. while pointing out the : mote in the Democratic eye, omit to note the beam in the Republican eye There are quite number of Republi- can senators from Western States. who are laboring earnestly for lower tarin duties-that is, for less protection It is d lesftimate inference that the Re- publican party is hopelessly split upon The tariff question.
 Speaking broadly. it may fairly be said khat the regular Republicans fla vur tariff for protection with inciden- tai revenue. and that the regular Dem ocrafg favor a tariff for revenue with sfncidental protection. There is a wide adherence between these two princi- p1es. and the line of demarcation IS ;distiuct and easily recognized.
 The Republican sIrsurgents,' approxi- mate closely in their position, to the reg nlar Democratic principle. while Dem ocrat5c 'shnsurgents'' apparently favor the rexular Republican principle as it applies to the products of their several states And there are about as many fof the one as of the other. Thus it does not appear that there is to be any general, disruption of parties. though in Presidential and Congress < sionais campaigns with the tariff as the main issue and with the line Of de5narcation as above stated, there 1nietht Dc some changes, perhaps enough to materially affect results at the polls-
 Neither party is hopelessly demoral- ixed by changes in the views of a mil nority upon the tariff question, but the greater danger is to the Republican party not only because it must bear the responsibility for whatever tariff may be adopted. but also because its sfnsurgents'' represent states which are more important electorally than are the states represented by Demo- cratic "insurgents.'
 We fail to find in the situation any valid reason for Republican glee- quite the contrary in fact

Mexico appears to have the oil field of the future if not of the present. It is officially reported as 300 miles in ex- tent, but whether square or lineal is meant does not appear. Certainly, the production is large and increasing. The field is said to be under the control of the Standard Oil Go. and the rea- son given for the company's recent willingness to pay the heavy fine of it's Texan subsidiary, the Waters-Pferce Co.,. was that, having large refineries in that State, it did not wish to be driven out If it controls the Mexican field, the company's motive is clear.
 The House voted for free petroleum, and the independent producers at once protested that it would injure them and benefit the Standard Oil Go. If the company is, as stated, in control of the great Mexican oil field, it would, in the absence of tariff duties, bring the Mexican product into direct com petition with American petroleum, with besides the particularly advan- geous condition of having extensive refineries in Texas.

PRESBYTERIANS PUT BAN
 ON USE OF TOBACCO

Denver, Col, May 28.-Ministers and laymen should not use tobacco, but it is not contrary to the principles of the church for Judges who are Preebyter- ians to grant saloon licenses. This was decided. by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church in approv- ing the report of the Temperance com mittee after a long discussion.
 The report commended President Taft, the Kaiser, and ex-President FL tot of Harvard for being teetotalers, and urged the ministers of the church to petition Congress to stop interstate shipments of liquor. to discontinue the issuance of internal revenue receipts in prohibition territory. and to prohibit the use of the mails for the distrjbu- ton of advertisements of liquor.
