The comptroller has decided a question
submitted 10 him by the secretary of war
respecting the payment Of benefit to
properly designated persons in the case Of
officers and enlisted men who die as a re-
suit OF disease or injuries contracted in
line of duty The question was precipi-
tated by the discovery OF two conflicting
clauses in the army appropriation act Of
March 3. In one case the payment OF the
benefit was made to devolve on no other
restriction than that the fatal Illness and
injury should not be due to the careless
ness OF the officer or enlised man. The ap-
preparation which was made available for
the purpose OF the benefit, however, was
expressed IN the phraseology Of the orig
tnal authority in the army appropriation
act of 1903, which restricted the causes OF
death 10 Zine OF duty" The comptroller
has now decided that the broader inter-
probation Is applicable in all cases which
occur between March 3 and July /. 1909. but
that after the latter date the payment OF
the benefit can only be made where the
death OF an officer or enlisted man results
from wound or disease contracted in The
line OF duty, The comptroller says that
other cases may be considered as furnishing
"'vslid claims % but. inasmuch az Il would

Collie in horses is a very common
disease. More valuable horses die ev-

The Benefit of Concerted Action.

In the year 1888, Seattle, Wash.
had a population estimated at about
p, 900, of whom there were at least
5000 floaters, temporary resi-
dents attracted by a boom, caus-
ed by the approaching completion
of the Northern Pacific Railroad. In
the same year Henry Willard, the
president of that road, was ousted
and his successor who was heavily
int rested in the Tacoma Land and
Town Co.. announced that Tacoma
would be the terminus of the rail-
road. A strong reaction set in and
values of real estate dropped heavily.
But three large property owners,
Yesler, Leary and Gatzert declared
that Seattle would have railroad OF
its own. They mOrtgaged their
property aud began to build a road
to Spokane, and by doing so enlisted
the enthusiasm Of their fellowtOwns-
men. People abroad admired this
Pluck and from that time a steady
growth began. Seattle now boasts
of a population of 275, 900.
Los Angeles, Cal, is another in
stance of what pulling together
will do. The State of Texas. or rath-
er most of the fast growing cities in

FOR SICK CHILDREN
Mrs. Rose Hawthorne LathrOp,
Who has Done so Much Good
Among Sick Children of New
York, Recommends VinOI.

"In my work among the destitute
sickI give Vinol in many cases where
it would be impossible to give cod
liver oil in any other form, on ac-
count of the extreme weakness of the
patients stomach. I have known
Vinol to restore appetite and infuse
new life in many cases of sick women
and children when everything else
failed. Little children seem to de-
light in taking Vinol."
The reason VinOl is so far superior
to old-fashioned cod liver oil and
emulsions is because it contains all
the medicinal. body building ele-
ments of cod liver oil actually taken
from fresh Gods with the disa-
greeable oil eliminated and tonic
iron added. AS a body builder and
strength creator for old people, weak
women, delicate children, after sick
ness and for all pulmonary troubles.
Vinol is recommended by over 5000
of the leading druggists of the United
States. Your money will be returned
on demand if Vinol fails to benefit.
