AIRsHIps TO GUARD COAST.

Aeroplane to be Stationed With Ar.
The establishment of chain oil
aeroplane depots along the Pacific
coast as an auxiliary corps is the
purpose of the war department, ac-
cording to Lieut.. Norton, coast artil-
lery corps, who is in Los Angeles.
Lieut.. Norton said few officers of
the corps had been quietly trained in
the handling of biplanes, but that

Of aerial craft had been held in abey-

THE STATE SENATE.

The Democrats Will probably con-
troll the State senate by a majority
of two. The best the Republicans can
hope for is an even break Inasmuch
as many partisan measures will be
introduced during the session. the
political complexion of the upper
branch of the legislature will act as
safeguard to not only the Demo-
cratic party, but to the people as a
whole against pernicious legislation
having for its sole object continu-
ance of the power Of the Republican
party in West Virginia
The gain of a congressman under
the last re-appointment necessitates
a re-districting of the state. There
Is every reason TO believe that with
full control Of the legislature the
Republicans would do this work as
unfairly as they did it before. The
Democratic senate is in position to
compel them to consider geography
and population, and not political adj
vantage only, in fixing the new boun-
diaries. There will also be chan ges
in the registration and election laws
in all probability, and with the two
branches controlled by opposite par
ties these changes cannot be made
to favor one party over another

Coal is rapidly becoming an i'm
portant factor in the export trade of
the United States. The value of the
coal sent to foreign countries last
year was $52,500, 900, against $21,-
100000 in 1902, and $8,333,OQ0 in
1892, having thus increased over
500 per cent in the last 20 years, and
$50 per cent in the last decade. Even
these large figures Of over $4,000
900 worth of coal sent to foreign
countries in the fiscal year 1912 do
not include the, value of that passing

which aggregated nearly $4,000, 900

SYMPTOMS OF CONSUMPTION
Yield to Vinol.

The medical profession do not be-
lieve that consumption is inherited,
but a person may inherit weakness
or tendency to that disease.
A prominent citizen of Evansville,
Ind, writes: 81 was i'll for five
months with pulmonary trouble, and
had the best of doctors; I had hemorr-
hayes and was in very bad way.
Through the advice Of friend | tried
Vinol, and feel that it saved my

Vinol soothes and heals the inflamed
surfaces and allays the cough. Vinol
creates an appetite, strengthens the
digestive organs and gives the patient
strength to throw of incipient pulmo-

derstanding that your money will be

something like 1000. Many of those
Republicans have never left the camp
OF President Taft.
No intimation has been given as to
who will be the candidates for the
various offices. It has been known for
some time that Roosevelt had his eyes
