voice OF honey, made Francois feel as
II a place in her friendship had been
waiting for him always.

She gave Up HOPE

When Mrs. Joseph Lombard, who
lives at 229 Starr street, Brooklyn
wrote this letter in the hope that 1t
would be seen by discouraged women
she did something that will be OF help
to many thousands.
She says: after suffering for five
years from weakness and loss of flesh
without finding any relief, I almost
gave up hope Of ever getting better.
"About this time Vinol was recon-
mended to me and I have found 1t a
truly wonderful remedy. I have re-
gained my health and feel strong and
we'll again. I cannot say enough IN
praise of Vinol."
All weak, exhausted women and
men, all pale, puny children and feeble
old folks, can have new health and
strength by taking this delicious cod
liver and iron remedy. It contains no
oil and is agreeable to even the most
delicate stomach. Vinol is a great
appetizer and body-builder for every
person who is run down and weak.
We give back your money If Vinoi
does not do all We claim.

SUES v. K. VANDERBILT, JR.
Grocer Says Payment Of Groceries
Sent to Yacht Has Been
Refuaed

Suit to collect a grocery bill OF
$642 was begun in the City Court
against William K. Vanderbilt, Jr.,
who, it is alleged, has declined to pay
for groceries asserted to have been
sent to his steam yacht, the Taran-
tula, in 1907. The complainant ts
Albert Klenk, who says the groceries
were ordered by Henry Stein. then
steward of the Tarantula.
Mr.. Vanderbilt, through his coun-
sci, Anderson & Anderson, has filed
a general denial. 1t is alleged the
steward exceeded his authority in or.
dering the groceries.

Klenk, 'vs the debt was incurreu in

Instances it was several times as

in othr places.

WILL SHORTEN MAIN LINE

MOTT, N. d., May 17.-Northern
Pacific surveyors have begun work
west from here on an extension to
Miles City or to some other point on
the main line. When this connection
is made it will give a shorter line to
Fargo and the Twin Cities. The
trains will leave the present main
line at Miles City and run by way OF
Mott to Fort Yates, from which an
other connecting line is to be built
to Edgeley to connect with the pres
ent line to Fargo. This will save a
distance of sixty-eight miles from
Miles City to St. Paul.
BY constructing line from Edge
ley to Oakes, to connect with the
Northern Pacific from Wahpeton,
thirty miles more could be saved, but
the cost of construction between
Edgeley and Oakes would be heavy
as the country is rough. 1t is expect
ed main line trains will be running
through Mott within two years.

Committee REPORT
Of PRESbY1ERlANS
ON TEMPERANCE
By Associated Press

BY Associated Press
LOUISVILLE, KY, May 1.-THE
Permanent Committee on Temper
ance of the Presbyterian church in
the United States of Amerlca pre-
sented it's report to the General As
sembly today.
The receipts for the year were $685.
S66 and the disbursements $29,543.
More than 1000 temperance meetings
have been held by representatives OF
the committee in 2S states; and the
equivalent of more than 25,0OO,00O
pages of literature has been dlstribut.
ed in connection with the years tenn
perance campaign.
OF the consumption of liquors the
report says:
ANY statistics of the quantity OF
liquor consumed during the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1911, available at the
time, are subject to correction when
the computations of the Government
Bureau of Statistics are completed.
The indications are that there has
been a slight increase in the con-
sumption of all kinds of liquors dur.
ing the past year. The total per cap
ita consumption exactly equals that
of 1907, which was the highest in our
history. The argument that the more
beer that is used the less spirits will
be consumed, is by no means sus-
tained by the facts.
"rhe urban districts which are un-
der license are increasing in popula.
ton much more rapidly than the rur.
al districts, which are chiefly under
prohibition. The drift of population
is towards the cities. This in part
explains why the consumption of IL
uuor increases per capita while at
the same time prohibition territory
increases"
The committee renews its protest
against the project to restore the sale
of beer at the army canteen and un-
der the caption "Is This Anarchy?"
says:
"Recently the Presbyterian Tenn
perance Committee had Mr.. VIM. e.
Johnson make personal investiga-
ton OF the Army Posts at Fortress
Monroe in Virginia, Ft. Leavenworth
and Ft. Riley in Kansas and Ft. D. A
Russell in Wyoming. In every one of
these places, Mr.. johnson found beer
being sold in open defiance of the
law Of Congress and the will of the
people. He purchased samples Of the
beer and had them analyzed by cap
able chemists. whose certificates he
holds, giving all details as to the per
centage Of alcohol contained, etc. In
every instance the percentage was
larger than the Internal Revenue Bu-

EGG EIGHT INCHES LONG.
Marinette Chicken Fancier Believes
His Hen Holds Record.

MARINETTE, Wis, May IT,
Chicken fanciers in this locality have
been engaged in an informal contest
for some time to produce the biggest
egg. A number of records have been
submitted, but they have not all been
backed up by the producing of tho
product. J. F. Wenk of the Marlnette
Flour Mill company today submitted
an egg to a local newspaper office
which measures eight incnes IN
length and six and nine-sixteenths In
ches in circumference. 1t weighs
three and one-half ounces. The egg
was laid by a Rhode Island Red.
Wenk believes the record will stand
for some time.

A Hospital for Sick Wheat

From London Answers.
In Canada there is "hospital' where
diseased wheat Is cured of various COM
plants, the most common of which Is
that known as smut This is kind of
fungold growth which attacks certain
kernels of the wheat. and changes the
gluten and starch into black dust The
dust adheres to the good kernels when
the grain is threshed. greatly lowering its
value.
All the wheat grown within certain
area of the ''hospital' Is inspected by Q
grain inspector, who disqualifies the dis
eased wheat and orders it to be sent to
the hospital for treatment. Arriving
here the grain is unloaded from the vans
by means of steam shovel and then
discharged into a scale hopper where it
is weighed.
The cleanest of the "smutty'' wheat 10
then cleansed by the aid of huge brush
ing machines, and the very dirty is sub
mitted to a washing process and after
ward dried and treated with the brush.
The wheat which is thick with dirt, but
which has a pure kernel beneath the coat
ing of smut" Is sometimes secured be-
tween pieces of metal passing through a
revolving machine.
Whichever treatment is chosen for the
patient II is nearly always successful.
and the grain eventually appears as clean
as though il had never been contaminated.

GATHINGS HAS NO FEAR OF
HIS POLITICAL OPPONENTS


Jackson, Miss, June 24.-(Special-)-
DR.. J. c. Gathings. superintendent of
the state convict farms, is not losing
any sleep over the efforts of his politi-
cal opponents to GUST him from office,
and states that this move on the part
of the attorney general Is but con-
tinuation of the fight inaugurated by
Trustee Smith several months ago
DR.. Gathings is charged with being
cruel to the convicts, or with permitting
his sergeants to handle and to talk to
them in a way that Is not conducive to
good morals. He is also charged with
having disobeyed the plain mandate of
the legislature in keeping the white
convicts on the Parchman farm instead
of returning them to Rankin. The leg
islature< passed resolution, not law,
for the return of the convicts to Ran
kin, but they have never been sent
back there However, DR.. Gathings
stated some time ago that he was going
to send the white convicts back to
Rankin, but not until he got ready to
do so. A good deal of work is being
done on the Rankin farm-that is the
buildings are being repaired and
scrubbed and painted before the return
of the white convicts.
The Masons of Jackson are preparing
