CHRONIC COUGH
Mr.. Gray, of t!wOOd, Ind, De-
ClarGS ViBOI Cured His Daugh-
ter'S Chronic Cough After All
Other Means Had Failed.
SAYS SHE OWES LIFE TO VlNOl.

My fourteen year old daughter
had very bad cough. was weak ,
emaciated, and had no appetite.
Two of our best physicians had
done her no good. On advice |
procured for her bottle of Ninol
and she soon began to improve.
She continued until she had taken
several bottles of it, and she has
completely recovered her health.
I'VE undoubtedly owe her life
to Ninol, as | am certain that if it
had not been for it she would have
been dead ere this. We never
miss the opportunity of saying a
good word for Ninol." James
Gray, Elwood, Ind.
Many cases like the above are
constantly coming to our attention
where the cod liver and iron prep
aration Ninol has cured chronic
coughs, colds and bronchitis and
built up health and strength for
old people, delicate children. run
down, weak and debilitated people
after all other means had failed.
Try Vinol. If it does you no
good we will return your money;
that's your guarantee, but we know
it will benefit you. VIM. 5.

ARCH OF CONCRETE
May Be Erected Over the Ken
lucky River at High Bridge.

Engineers Of the Cincinnati
Southern road have under discus
sion. the construction of an i'm
mense re- enforced concrete bridge
to take the place of the present
High Bridge, which spans the
Kentucky river at the station of
that name. Plans have already
been drawn for steel arch struct-
ure, to cost in the neighborhood of
81 $50, 900, but the engineers have
an idea that the great solidity of
the walls of the chasm will make
it possible to build a concrete
structure which will stand for all
time.
If the concrete form is adopted
it will be the largest concrete arch
bridge in the world. The present
bridge is LBS feet long, and the
rails 2794 feet above low water.
1t was opened for traffic in Feb
.ruary, 1917, 81 years ago, and the
contract cost was S404,373. Since
that time, however. the price of
steel has doubled.

DIVORCES
Lexington Union Takes ImpOr.
tant Steps at Its Meeting
Held Monday at The Y.

The ministers of Lexington de-
cided at a meeting that in the fu-
ture they will unite in MARI age no
couple of which any one or both
of the contracting parties have
been divorced unless the divorce
was secured on scriptural grounds.
During the meeting of the Min

lutions having been drafted by a
committee appointed two months
ago. The members of this COM
mittee were Reys. |. j. Spencer,

The resolutions passed were as
follows:
Whereas, The divorce evil is
Increasing to an alarming degree,
and whereas all moral persons
should oppose and seek to over
come it; therefore be it
Resolved, That the Ministers
Union of Lexington, KY, will
here and now emphasize its Oppo-
sitiOn to unscriptural divorce; and,
be it further
Resolved, That as members of
the union and ministers of the
Gospel, we publicly announce that
we will,not solemnize any marriage
in which we know that either the
bride or bridegroom has been di-
vorced xcept on scriptural
grounds.
Resolved, also, That in all
doubtful cases we will make in
quiry and if not satisfied as to the
facts will require of one or both
of the bridal pair the sacred aflir-
nation that there is no scriptural
cause why they should not marry. >

THORNS
In Governors Side Are Pardon
Seekers.

just how much of Governors
time is taken up by listening to
appeals for pardor.s and reading
recorts in applications for pardons
is not generally known by the pub
lie. Mckenzie Todd, the Cover
nor's secretary, said Sunday, Jan
uary -, that there are now on file
In the Governors Office $50 appli-
cations for pardons and remissions
of fines and Jail sentences.
All of these papers. in all these
pardon cases, must be carefully
considered before the Governor
can reach a conclusion. He can
not sit up and refuse to grant a
hearing to any man. 1t means
work for the Governor, and he
does not make any friends either
way, for there are always those
who will object to the pardon and
be angry if it is granted, while the
friends of the convict will be angry
if he refuses.
This pardon question is thorn
in the side of the Governor. The
number Of pardon-seekers seems to
be greater now than usual.

To Secure improvements.

Whenever big majority Of the
people determine to DO certain
thing or pursue Z given line of ac-
ton, it is a safe prediction that
the thing sought for will be at
tanned. 1t matters little what par
ticular thing engages the attention
of the masses. 1t may be ques-
ton of civic righteousness, of up.
lifting the welfare of the church,
Perhaps it is matter of material
advancement. The same rule will
hold good. United effort will pro-
duce satisfactory results. The
great trouble with many undertake
ings that have in view the ultimate
good of the entire community is
there are SO many who cannot get
above the sordid motives of the
self-seeker. When any undertake
ing is to engage the attention self
must be submerged in the good of
all. But this very submerging of
self is the very thing that counts
in the end for general goodrich

of time from July |, 1909, to Jan

EXCITING EXPERIENCE.
RICHMOND BANKER SEES SNAKE.

Jerry Buckner, who lives on the
Irvine pike, went to the Madison
National Bank, at Richmond, KY,
and asked to leave bundle
of grain sacks for a man who
would call for them. His request
was granted, and he dropped the
bundle behind the stove. AT noon
all the officers went to dinner,
leaving Mr.. Tut Burnam in
charge. Tut was figuring on his
books. He was standing near the
teller's window, when suddenly he
was almost crazed from fright
upon seeing large rattle snake
coiled on the marble slab in the
window, licking its forked tongue
and sounding its rattles in warning.
Mr.. Burnam gave yell. Mr..
Bert Stockton and Chief of Police
Altman rushed in the bank. just
rs they opened the door the snake
sprang at Mr.. Burnam, but the
latter quickly dropped to the floor
and the reptile landed on the
counter just beyond where he had
stood. 1t rolled to the floor and
started toward Mr.. Burnam. vino
lost no time in hustling into the
front of the room. The snake
continued to come. and Burnam
Stockton and Altman hustled over
the high wire net work which sur
rounded the counter. Capt. All
man fired a shot at the snake. the
ball making slight wound which
only the more Infatuated the rep
tile. On it came, the three men
making tall tracks for the direc-
tors room in the rear. They beat
his snakeship to the room, quickly
slamming the door. The snake
here coiled to do guard duty. The
shot from Capt. Allman's revolver
attracted "a crowd. Ben Banks
procured a shot gun and emptied
both barrels into the coiled reptile
The bundle of sacks had been
placed in Mr.. Buckner's barn last
fall, and the snake had evidently
crawled into them when hunting a
home for the winter. The hot
stove revived the reptile and OF
course it at once began its attempt
to get out of the building.
