FRAlL, SICKLY CHILD
Restored to Health by Vinol-
Letter to Mothers.


Anxious mothers often wonder why
their children are so pale, thin and
nervous and have so little appetite.
For the benefit of such mothers in
this vicinity We publish the following
letter.
]. Edmund Miller, New Haven,
Conn, says: my little daughter, ever
since her birth, had been frail and
sick,y, and was a constant source of
worriment. Several months ago we
commenced to give her Vinol. l i'm
mediately noted an improvement in
her health and appearance. 1 gave
her three bottles of Vinol, and from
the good it has done her 1 can truly
Bsay it will do all you claim"
This child's recovery was due to
the combined action of the medicinal
elements extracted from Gods livers,
combined with the blood-making
and strengthening properties Of
tonic iron. which are contained in
Vinol.
Vinol will build up and strengthen
delicate children, old people and the
weak, rundown and debilitated. We
return the money in every case where
t fails.
P. S. For pimples and blotches try
- Saxo Salve. We guarantee it.

lady SPEAKS UPON WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Gentlemen your issue of Nov. Is
Bou say: Woman S suffrage is forging
ito the front" History tells US that 60
years ago, when the far west was poor
fand sparsely settled, two or three States
Ialong the Rocky Mountains, under strong
sPopulist and Mormon influence, granted
Hull suffrage to women; and the ques-
stiOn of woman suffrage to-day is, with
the Socialists, of the deepest and most
Vital Importance, because it is indispen-
Isable to their schemes. l admit that all
advocates of woman's suffrage are not
Socialists, but they are, as a rule, politi-
eal demagOgues with their own personal
ends to meet. Roosevelt has given us,
Through his paper, The Outlook, 3"
Some of the very best reasons why we
Should not have wOman's suffrage. One
is, that of the twenty-four million eligi-
Ible women in the United States only
twO million desire the ballot and then
gWhen votes for the presidency were at
u premium Mr.. Roosevelt has the suf-
Frage plank added to the Bull Moose
platform. Personal interest, in most
Eases, is forging to the front woman's
suffrage in America.
This is a most important question be-
fore the people and should be studied
1well, and not answered in any fiippant
language, because it strikes deep down
! into the vitals of our American home
life, and not only into the American
home life but into the law given by God
(which says, "And he shall rule over her.
! If woman can trust her life into the
hands of her husband, surely she can
trust him to make the laws for her pro-
tection.
Hon. Elihu Root said: I'm politics
there is struggle, strife, contention,
bitterness, heart burning, excitement,
agitation. everything which is adverse
10 the true character of women. Woman
rules to-day by the sweet and noble in
fUences of her character. Put woman
into the arena of conflict and she aban-
Gons these great weapons which control
the world, and she takes into her hands,
feeble and nerveless for strife, weapons
with which she is unfamiliar and which /
She is unable to WELD. Woman in strife /
becomes hard, harsh, unlovable, repul- |!

creature to whom we all owe allegiance |
and to whom we confess submission as !
the heaven is removed from the earth. -

TIE RuINAT1oN oF NToxIcANTs.

In many towns there are families who
are suffering from the uses of intOXica-
ting liquors, for many home has been
turned fOrlOrn on account of the awful
destructOr. And many heart has been
broken because of the great poison. Is
there not a great majority of men who
have ruined their reputation aud lost
their good name by the use of intOXi
cants? Yes, many have been turned
down from high positions because of the
dreadful habit, for is man capable of
carrying on business transactions when
under the influence of liquor?
Many young men are travelling on
the road that leadeth to destruction, be-
cause they use liquor, and are going
rapidly, too.
is it not enough, when we see a per-
son under the influence of the poisonous
Gouid. to rebel against its use? When
the power of man is taken from him,
and his mind bewildered, is that not de-
stroving the body and fighting against
tho physical powers of the bOdy-cells ?
And is not this a crime Many hOli-
dav has been spent in drunkenness and
reVelrv. the family made unhappy and
miserable. when if the father had been
temDerate in his habits, the family
would have been full of JOY and haDpi-
ness. If the money spent for intoXi-
cants could be used to purchase gifts,
the children's cries and sObs of distress
would be turned to shouts of Joy and
laughter. fOftimes a father is made
ashamed of himself by a few words
from a loved one. Is he not often res |
cued from his downward course through |
Christianity, and is not many wife !
made happy by the promotion OF her
husband? IL
Another very Incorporate custom, IS
tbe 1lsa of tobacco. Thousands of small
bovs are iniuring their health and their
strength bv its use, the effect of which
thev do not notice so quickly as that OF
lionor: but vet they are poisoning their
s,5eten. The worst form of the tobacco
habit among small boys is that Of smok-
inc, cigarettes. 1t may be because they
are more easily concealed than pipe or
cigar vet the effect is greater because
ne na1ers are doped with alcohol and
ott,o,. poisonous fluids. These germs are
Inhaled and panted in the lungs, to in
;,,ra the body cells and poison the blood.
a how who smokes cigarettes is not so

to a man on the outside it looks
very much as if their efforts and
the money spent in their investiga-
lions will come to naught. More
than half of the present session Of
the legislature is history, and house
bill No. 1852 seems to have been
placed in snug resting place to
await its fate
From the report Of the comp
troller general it will be seen that
nearly $1,00O,000,O00 Of insurance IS
carried by the citizens of this state,
The gross premiums paid for this
protection is nearly $4,000 900 a
year, and yet the same Anticipated
provision for taking care of the In
terest of this vast and growing In
dustry is just what it was in 1884,
when there was only about $40
100000 of insurance carried in this
state
There isn't a provision In the bill
introduced that any agent. man
ager, official or institution doing
and proposing to do a straight
honest business could object TO-
and it seems to those who have
studied the situation that the gen
eral assembly could serve its con-

THE VETO POWER.

Edltor The Georgian:
From historic instances we are
forced to conclude that the veto
power should be, exercised with
great care. Our present governor
has explained very clearly, fully
and forcibly his view of the only
circumstances under which an ex-
ecutive should exercise the pardon,
and there is little doubt that his
conception is clear as to when he
would be justified in exercising the
veto. 1t is inconceivable that he
would feel justified in vetoing a
measure passed so deliberately by
the legislature as was the Tippins-
Alexander bill and with such de-
cided majority in both houses.
The governor knows full well
that the people can not hold him
personally responsible for the de-
liberate acts of the legislature. and
that it Is simply a duty for him
to put his approval on them. lust
as the approval of the whole legis-
nature goes WITH what the legal
majority finally agrees to. OF
course, the governor does not per-
sonally agree, in many cases. with
the views of the majority-many of
us do not-but we have before
hand agreed to act with the legal
majority. and, after the vote is
taken, If we act In good faith all
then become of one mind, and in
dividual differences are lost sight
of.
There should be a clear cut idea
in the minds of the people as to
the conditions under which the veto
and pardon powers should be exer-
cised. JOS S. COOK
