HOW CHRONIC COUGHS
Are Being Cured by Vinol


New Haven, Conn.-"I was troubled
with most persistent chronic cough
for long time and had tried so many
remedies and prescriptions without
benefit that I was discouraged. I was
persuaded by my friends to try vi
mol. After taking the second bottle,
my cough LETT me, and l must say /
never felt better in my life can al
so recommend Vinol to any one In a
rundown condition as the best possi-
BILE remedy"
1t Is the combined action of the
medicinal elements OF the Gods liv-
ers, aided by the blood-making and
strengthening 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 bottle OF Vinol with the un-
derstanding that your money will be
returned If it does not help you.

Ownership Question.

NEW YORK, March o.-The question
OF whether Norway owns the territory
surrounding the south pole, which has
Just been discovered by Capt. Roald
Amundsen already is being discussed by
authorities on international law covering
the ownership OF arctic and antarctic
lands
Ever since 177S. whea Captain Cook s
expedition planted II nag in the antarctic,
explorers OF various nations have carried
the flags of their countries to various
points approaching the south pole 1t is
generally believed the land in the ant
arctic Will be regarded much in the same
way as Spitzbergen Archipelago. which
is inhabited by men OF various nations
and now is regarded as a joint posses
sion OF all mankind.
John Bassett Moore, professor OF in
ternational law at Columbia university,
points out that leading authorities have
taken the position that discovery alone
does not suffice TO give good title 10 a
new, unoccupied land, and that the Gus
toms Of nations for centuries has crys-
tallized into a part OF the law OF nations
that in order TO perfect the right given
by discovery 1t must be followed by gen
eral occupation,
Professor Moore says that the task OF
effective occupancy of the territory sur
rounding the south pole undouot edly
would prove more difficult than its dis
eovery and that II was extremely unlike
ly that the question OF ownership would
ever be brought up to the joint commis-
sion on arbitration for settlement.
