FEEBLE OLD LADY Has Strength Restored by
 Vinol.

Mrs. Micheal Bloom of Lewistown. Pa, who IS 30 years of age. says: For e long time I have been so feeble that I have had to be wheeled around in an invalid's chair. I had no strength and took cold at the slightest provo cation, which invariably settled on my lungs. and a cough would result. My son learned of the cod liver pre- paration called Vinol. and procured a bottle for me. It built up my strength rapidly, and after taking three bottles am able to do most of my work, and n can walk a quarter of a mile easily. Every aged or weak person who re- uuires strength should try Vinoi. I am delighted with what 1t has done for me"
 | As e body builder and strength crea- tor for old people. delicate children weak, rundown persons. and after sickness, vinol is unexceiled. If 1t fails to give satisfaction we will re- turn your money.

LONG SAYS MEN ARE
 MORE SAVAGE THAN BEASTS

New York, March 2.-Dr. William J. Long characterized as the original mature faker" by President Roose- welt says that men are more savage than beasts. He also absolves the wolf of the charge of ferocity. Speak ing before the graduates of Drew Theological Seminary here yesterday, pr. Long said:
 q have studied wolves for years and contrary to popular belief I never found a case. where a human being was harmed by one. I am talking of the North American wolf. There Is another foolish notion that 1t Is the biggest and ugliest brute of the pack who is leader. That's untrue. It Is always the mother who is leader and her word goes. Animals are far less savage than men. They do not strug- gle with one another for food. There Is no survival of the Attest among them. Unlike man, when he has a corner of f6od. he does not exact his last dollar of tribute. He shares 1t unselfishly with his fellow creatures"

SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
HOUSE REJECTS TT BY VOTE OF
 172 TO 175.
Thirty Republicans Voted Against Measure and Four Democrats
 for It-Scene of Wild Con-
 fusion Followed Roll Call.

Washington. March 2.-The ship sub sidy bill was rejected by the House of Representatives today by vote of l72 to 175.
 The principal feature of the bill is the provision that American mail steam ships of sixteen knots or over, and of not less than 5000 gross tons. shall be paid $4S0 per nautical mile out ward bound on routes of 1000 miles or upward to South America. Philip pines. Asia and Australia.
 Mr. Landis (Ind.), made an earnest plea for the passage of the bill.
 Mir. Moon (Tenn.) led the opposition to the measure.
 "It Is an internal fraud, designed to plunder the treasury" he declared.
 Speaking of the provision for train ing of American boys and answering the plea of patriotism advanced by Mir. Landis. he said that 1t was but blind to hide the giving of the peoples money to corporations of snip owners.
 The climax came when minority leader Clark declared that a lobby had been carried on right on the floor of the House" in favor of the passage of the bill. Tt is an outrage to a civil ized country" he declared. this thing of coaxing men, of button-holing men, and I undertake to say that when Mir. Moon, of Tennessee. denounced this bill as an internal fraud, he used lan- guage he was justified in using"
 The debate against the bill was closed by Mir. Cochran of New York He denounced the sending of the Amer ican flag abroad by a subsidy. as 'an outrageous concession of the enslaving of a people through the agency of a government"
 Among those to speak for the bill Gnahal Ohi0s Tandia n Tn diana; Humphrey. of Washington, and Hobson. of Alabama. Against 1t were Small, of North Carolina; Kustermann, of Wisconsin, Stafford. of Wisconsin,: Lloyd of Missouri; Sulzer. of New York; Burton, of Ohio; Saunders, of Virginia: Wilson. of Pennsylvania. i. Clark. of Missouri; Stephenson. of Min nesota; Finley. of South Carolina. and Norris. of Nebraska.
 The feeling In the House was strain ed as the hour of voting approached. The attendance was probably the larg- est of the session. Every one recog- nized that the vote would be close. Representative Goldfogle. of New York, who was operated on yesterday in a hospital. was carried on the floor in a chair to vote against the bill.
 A scene of wild confusion followed the roll call. With the announcement of the vote of 172 in the affirmative the Speaker hesitated to get good breath, and then said. "175 in the neg alive"
 The Democratic side of the House broke forth in cheers.
 Mir. Overstreet. in charge of the bill, was recognized. and he asked to be permitted to change his vote. This would have allowed him to move to re- consider. and have another vote on the bill. The Speaker informed him that the vote had been announced, and his request came too late.
 Thirty Republicans voted against the measure and four Democrats for 1t.
 Democrats for: Bartlett (Nev), Esto- pinal (La), Hobson (Ala). Jones (Va.)
