AFTER THE GRIPPE
Vinol Restored This Mans
Strength

Several years ago I was attacked By
= 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.
| received no permanent relief until
my druggist asked me 10 try yinol.
and after taking three bottles | was
entirely cured.
I believe Vinol to be the greatest
blessing ever offered 10 the public. as
II does what is claimed for It." r z X.
Hicks. Maplesville. Ala.
The reason Vinol cures chronic
coughs. colds and pulmonary troubles
is because IL contains tonic iron and
all the healing and body building ele-
ments of cod liver oil but no oil.
Vinol is slso unexcelled as a strength
builder for old people. delicate children,
weak and rundown persons, and after
sickness.

a letter through its secretary to the

as follows.
Hon. Herbert Briggs. Secretary Board
OF Public Works. Tcrre Hautc. Ind.
Dear Sir: As you are aware, New
Mexico is making the fight Of her life
for admission to statehood during the
present short session OF congress.
Mr.. Beveridgc, Of your state. chair
man Of the senate committee ON terri
tories. in all honesty and sincerity. is
steadfast in his opinion that we are
not ready for statehood. Failure to
convince Mr.. Bovoridgo hat New
Mexico is ready and fit viii neccssa-
rily mean that New Mexico must re-
main Il territory for the present at
least.
won't YOU ana your friends kindly
intercede with Mr.. Bcvcridgc in our
behalf? From personal observation
YOU are familiar with our wonderful
resources, our splendid possibilities,
and 0 recognize the justice of our
prayer for recognition.
Whatever you may be kind enough
to do in our behalf viii be valued be-
yond expression by every citizcn-let
us say, of the new state of New Mex

Trusting that your effort may be
the means of securing statehood yours

New York. Jan. 2S.-The stock
market today again demonstrated the
narrow professional rut into which it
has fallen. There was little trade OF
ANYTHING beyond u reversal of yester-
DAVIS operations. The traders who
bought yesterday attempted to sell to-
dav and the list moved. therefore, in
a contrary direction to that of yos-
terday. The reactlonary tendency in
New York Central had effect on the
whole list as it was considered to
prove tina much that had been re-
norted of Il. H.. Harriman's plans has

Mas already occurred in prices, Mr..
Harriman's reported project in The
railroad world made up an influence
that has permeated the whole stock
market for weeks and the indication
that This influence has spent its fierce
elements, awakened more or less UNI
easiness among belated holders of
stocks on the strength of these re-
ports.
The publication of the pamphlet re-
mort Of the Southern Pacific for the
fiscal year ending with last June Of
fered nothing that had not been gem
orally known and did not help the
stock. The resumption of hearings at
Pittsburg in the government suit to
dissolve the Hartman railroad mer-
ger is viewed with some concern as
a possible source or some sudden de-
velopment unfavorable to the market
