HOW CHRONIC COUGHS
Are Being cured By VinoI.

Did you ever cough for a month?
Then just think how distressing it
must be to have cough hang on for
three months.
Mrs. Maria Primrose, Of 81 Newell
Street. Brooklyn, N. Y, says: 81 had
a very heavy cold which settled into
a chronic cough, which kept me
awake nights for fully three months,
and felt tired all the time because my
rest was broken so much. The effect
of taking your cod liver and iron rem
edy, VinoI, is that my cough is gone.
can now get good nights rest, and
feel much stronger in every way"
It is the combined action of the
medicinal elements, Gods livers, aided
by the blood-malIing and strength
creating properties of tonic iron which
makes Vinol so efficient in curing
chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis
at the same time building up the
weakened, rundown system.
Try a bottle Of Vinol, with the un-
derstanding that your money will
be returned If it does not help you.
P. S. For rough, scaly skin, try
our Saxo Salve. We guarantee it.

MRS. BURNETT's MYSTERY.
The Unsolved Enigma of the Letter on
Her Writing Desk

Ter WFlNiu9 BSSN,
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett told
a true story which she called The
Mystery of My Life" And truly it is
a mystifying occurrence.
1t was some time ago, while she was
living in England. One night she and
a friend were spending a quiet evening
by the fire, chatting and reading. Mrs.
Burnett's friend. be it understood, sat
throughout the event in an armchair
by the fire and did not leave her place
until all was over. so that, as in the
case of conjurers. there could have
been mo deception" on her part.
Mrs. Burnett went in the course OF
the evening to her desk and wrote
letter She signed. folded. directed.
sealed and stamped it and stood it up
against a silver cigarette box on the
center table. Then she arose to go
and sit by the fire again.
Presently. wishing the letter posted.
she started to take steps toward hav-
ing it mailed. She looked for it on
the center table. and the letter was
uOL LuEIG- CuE lOUhNu al ONCA AhN
table in vain. She rubbed her eyes
and looked again. She knew she had
stood that letter up against the silver
cigarette box. but it was not there.
No one had entered the room; no one
had left it, Her friend had sat motion
less by the fire.
Mrs. Burnett said to herself: II
know-sometimeS ones eyes are held.
A thing may be staring one straight
In the face and not be seen. 1t may
seem to be masquerading as something
else!' And she began Systematically
examining each object on the table
separately. picking it up. naming it
and setting it down again, to make
sure that it was itself and not the
letter.
rs this the letter? No; this is a
Dresden china bonbon dish. Is this
it? No: this IS brass candlestick,
this is a magnifyiAg glass, this is an
ivory paper cutter. this is a carved
wooden box. this is a rose jar, this Is
an ash receiver. and this. finally. is a
silver cigarette box, and there is moth
ing else on the table. and there is
neither hide nor hair of letter to be

Los ANGELES, July 25.-The barrow

claring he had no prejudice and now the
defense learns for the first time that he
had frequently stated his belief that Oar
row was guilty. This request was made
in the absence of the jury. Leayitt ar
rived from his home at Elmonte in
charge of a deputy sheriff during the ar
gument of Rogers.
Juror Leavitt is here in court ready
to proceed with the trial" said Judge
Hutton. "and l can not excuse him for
i'll health and put the alternate juror in
his place. I do not see any warrant in
law for hating the trial at this time, in

President of Senate, Who Was
Once Acting Governor, Out
lines Platform Principles.

John NJ Slaton thinks he should be
elected governor, because he has dem
onstrated by a long and worthy term Of
legislative service that he is fitted for
the high office to which he aspires, and
that he would fill honorably and ac-
ceptably if conferred upon him.
He says:
q started in 1896 and am the oldest
legislator in point of service in the
state
In addition to having been chairman
of the general Judiciary committee and
presiding officer in each house, was
acting governor for a short time. and l
think my election as governor would be
in reasonable line of promotion.
Il believe I know the needs of the
state and its institutions. and how tc
maintain them within the limits OF the
state revenue This, of course. must be
done.
Nearly 100000 of the states debt
must be refunded by the next legisla-
ture, and the states finances should be
put on a sound basis.
In the past have endeavored to pre-
serve the value Of the Western and At
lantic railroad, and | believe its dispo-
sition is. now one of the most vital ques-
tons before the people today.
1T is suggested that the lease Of con-
tiguous property in Atlanta and Chat
tanooga. not needed for railroad pur-
poses, might produce revenue APP
proximating the receipts from the en-
tire lease of the railroad.
These are matters, for careful
thought

Old Timers Gan1b1ed Underground
LOST RESORT is FOUND

rare glimpse into the past, when
Atlanta was frontier town in spirit.
with gambling as one of its principal
institutions, was revealed today when
D. w. Marlborough began remodeing
the old brick house at 10 Porters alley
for his plumbing shop. Under the one
story brick structure was discovered
a secret gambling resort of four rooms.
An observation of the house led to no
suspicion of its underground apart
ment and an outside trap door the only
entrance, gave no indication of the eX-
istence of what was once the most
famous and exclusive gambling resort
in the South.
The architecture of the house is per-
feet for its purpose. The house was for
years the only one on the alley. The
small trap door leads to a very small
alley is so small that it is difficult for
one man to enter at a time. A narrow
hall connects three moderate sized
rooms. with low ceilings. Then another
small tray door leads to a very small
room 1t was the poker room and the
scene Of the loss of several Of Atlanta's
early fortunes The walls between
these rooms are about four feet thick.
Not a sound can be carried through
them. There are no windows, but an
ingenious system of ventilation from
above through pipes. To have raided
that house in the old days would have
been like storming a castle.
But there is no record of any effort
