HOW OLD PEOPLE
Nav Prolong Their Lives

AT an advanced age waste is more
rapid than repair. The organs act
more slowly and less effectually than
in youth. The circulation is poor, the
blood thin and watery, the appetite
poor and digestion weak.
We want to say to every aged per-
son In this vicinity that Vinol, our de-
licious cod liver and iron tonic with
out OLD will prolong life. It creates
an appetite, aids digestion and makes
good blood. In this natural manner
Vinol retards waste and replaces
weakness with strength, giving new
life to the worn system.
If people in this vicinity only real
lied how Vinol invigorates old people
we would not be able to supply the
demand
Try a bottle of Vino1 with the IN
derstanding that your money will be
returned If it does not help you.

The southeastern states, during the
past ten years, have shown steady

ti0n. Every state shows this much
desired condition OF affairs. Each
and every southeastern state also
shows steady decline in the percent
age OF its negro population. Two
states show actually fewer negroes in
1910 than in 1900, but Mississippi still
holds the unenviable record OF her
population being the more largely

A special news dispatch from Wash

In an address delivered at the Tu-
lane University OF Louisiana in
March, 1910, President Finley OF the
Southern Railway company, after
pointing out that in the ten years
from 1890 to 1900, the white popula-
ton In the South increased 252 per

negro population OF the section to-

Is reason to believe that the condi-
tions which affected the relative rates
of increase OF white and negro popu-
lation In the South between 1890 and
1900 are still operative and that as
time goes on, the negro population OF
the section will constitute decreas-
ing proportion OF the whole" This
forecast is borne out by the statistics
OF white and negro population for
1910 just made public by the United
States census office.

Mayor Announces
Committee to Probe
Our Insurance Rates

Mayor Wilson today announced his
appointments to the fire insurance
rate committee. The committee in
cludes Aldermen John E. Lyddy, E.
Earle Garlick and Paul L. Miller, and
J. H. Crossley, we'll known insur-
ance agent, and Augustus II. Bullard,
former president of the Board of Fire
commissioners.
The committee is named under au-
thority of a resolution adopted at the
last meeting of the Common Council.
1t was introduced by Alderman Lyd-
dy, of the Eleventh.
Alderman Lyddy believes that the
city is not receiving equitable treat
ment from the insurance companies.
He argues that the city's fire depart
ment is second to none in the coun>
try, and that the city has spent so
much in providing the department
with the best Of equipment and an
ample number of men that the in
surance companies should not charge
rates as heavy as they were when
the city was not so well safeguarded.
Mayor Wilson recognized the keen
interest that Mr.. Billiard took in this
matter when he was a member of tbs
fire commission and also the wide ex-
perience of Mr.. Crossley in fire in
surance matters, in selecting the two
representatives from outside the
Council chamber. Alderman Lyddy
will act as chairman. The other al.
dermen on the committee are prac-
ticing attorneys

A Gown Seen
In Washington

The gown worn by Mrs John Hays
Hammond at the reception given by
the New York congressional delega-
ton was in the late shade of purple,
Vatican, by name, and Of a much
warmer tint than the old-time royal
purple once supposed to be the rich
est variety of this particular color. An
advantage of the new shade is that
it is universally becoming, condition
totally lacking in the robes of roy
atty.
The gown was made with a train, a
fish tail train at that. with its two
points extending three-quarters Of a
yard. The material was a soft, pill
able satin, with overdress, fitting
close as a tunic, to the knees, OF
slightly irregular length, with one
side heavily embroidered in purple
beads. The latter showed several
different tones, also varied in size, and
were Of metallic rather than glass
composition. The motif, too, differed
from the usual bead effects seen on
even the smartest gowns, being clus-
tered pattern applied in the lower
right hand corner of the back of the
overdress. A corresponding motif dec
grated the left shoulder, extending
well toward the waist line to the back.
The left side of the bodice was of sat-
in, with half-length sleeves also of sat
in, and the right side purple chiffon
over white lace, with sleeve to CORES
pond.
Mrs Hammond's jewels, as usual.
were in perfect harmony with her
gown. A large ornament, neither
brooch nor pendant, but akin to both.

N-LAW OF A MONARCH
Don Mguels Marriage to Anita Stewart Eliminates All
His Claim to Portuguese Throne By Agreement
With DeposedKing Manuel

Copyright, 1912. by the United Press.)
Pau. France, March 9-The millions
amassed by the late J. H. fSilent)
Smith, in his remarkable campaigns
Of manipulation of the American
Stock Market, will not be used to re-
store monarchy to Portugal. Anita
Stewart, of New York, now the wife
of Prince Miguel, of Braganza, will
never sit on the throne of Portugal
and her mother. widow of the noted
speculator, will never be able to at
tain that much coveted. honor, moth
er-in-law of a King"
The United Press is able today to
give the entire history of the now
famous meeting between. King Manuel,
deposed ruler of Portugal, and Dom
Miguel, Duke Of Braganza and pre-
tender to the throne Of Portugal. It
is also able, for the first time, to give
the public the text of the agreement
arrived at between the two at the
lengthy conference at Dover. The
agreement has been held as a closely
guarded secret because it was known
it's publication might embarrass the
British government, which has given
Manuel a refuge.
The text of this agreement was to-
day exhibited to the correspondent of
the United Press here and he was
asked to make 1t plain that the plan
to replace Manuel on the throne of
his ancestors has not been and will
not be financed by American money.
The cash needed for the revolutionary
movement which is in process of prep
aration will come from persons di.
rectly interested in the restoration OF
Manuel to his throne
It is specifically set forth in the
Dover agreement that there shall be
no thought Of Prince Miguel aspiring
to the monarchy. In the document
it is made plain that, by his marriage
to the American girl, even though just
before the wedding she was created
in her own right a princess of the
Austrian throne by the aged Emperor,
as a mark of favor to the Braganzas,
he eliminated himself forever from the
right of succession to the Portuguese
throne.
Whether this was the reason that
Mrs. Smith has steadfastly refused to
aid in the restoration with her mil
lions, the informant refused to say,
contenting herself with emphasizing
the fact that not a single dollar Of the
Smith fortune has been used either
by Manuel or Miguel in their cam
paign.
The agreement, as signed, is divided
into six articles and it is provided
that, when the restoration is COM
pleted' the Portuguese parliament will
be asked to ratify it. The agreement
is as follows:
Article one sets forth that Miguel,
recognizing the gravity of the situa-

ton in Portugal and having in view
the prosperity of his beloved land
ra4her than his own personal advance
ment', renounces forever all preten-
lions to the throne and tenders Man
uel, who accepts, the offer to aid with
all his force in the establishment
''of liberty with the old time mon
archy"
Article two provides that the Por-
tuguese decree Of exclusion under
which Dom Miguel and his family are
forbidden to enter Portugal is repeal
ed and Dom Miguel and his family are
to be refrigerated as members of the
royal family without charge to the
public treasury.
Article three takes up at length the
question of royal succession. 1t pro-
vides that, in the event that King
Manuel dies without a direct heir, the
crown shall go to Dom Alfonso, Duke
De Porto who, already as heir pre-
sumptive, has taken the oath. He will
rule alone, however, as the agreement
takes from him his right of success
sion. 1t is provided that, after AL
fonso, even though he should leave a
direct heir, the throne shall go to one
of Dom Miguels sons -
Articles four and five take up the
succession question. It is stated that,
Prince Miguel, his legitimate heir ac-
cording to the Salic law, by his mar
riage with an American girl "heeded
more the voice of his heart than his
interests, his rights in the Portu-
guese throne shall be transferred to
his brother, Miguel Dom Duarte.
Article six provides for the ratifi-
cation Of the pact by the Portuguese
parliament after the monarchy has
been restored
Prince Miguel, Princess Anita and
Mrs. Smith are staying at Saint Jean
De Lux where they were seen today
by the United Press correspondent. 1t
is understood that the Prince plans
to take the field when the revolution
airy movement is begun.
The Prince and Princess are accom-
panied everywhere by Mrs. j. H.
Smith and an imperial suite. The
entire party keeps on the move most
of the time. Great suites are reserved
for them at hotels in Cannes Nice,
Paris, and other large cities. Per-
sonal belongings Of the entire party
are maintained at each place, thus
obviatfng the necessity of moving
large quantities of baggage whenever
change of scene is desired
Mrs. Smith, it is known, is greatly
interested in the entire Portuguese
situation and Is believed to oppose Sc
cretly the ambitions of her daughters
father-in-law She realizes more than
anyone else that Anita cannot become
queen and that, despite the agree
ment, if he was to aspire to rule over
Portugal, should the monarchy be re-
stored, he could easily become eligible
by divorcing his American wife.
