HOW TO RESIST
Chronic Coughs and Colds.

Strong, vigorous men and women hardly ever catch cold, it's only when the system is run down and vitality low that colds and coughs get a foot shold
 Now isn't 1t reasonable that the right way to cure cough is to build up your strength againg
 Mrs. Olivia Parham, of East Dur ham. N. c, says: T took Vinol for a chronic cough which had lasted two years. and the cough not only disap- peared. but it built up my strength as well"
 The reason vinol is so efhcaeious in such cases is because it contains in a delicious concentrated form all the medicinal curative elements of cod liver oil. with tonic, blood-ouilding iron added.
 Chronic coughs and colds yield to yinol because it builds up the weak ened. rundown system.
 You canl lget your money back any time if vinol does not do all We say.

We have been ruminating
labout IN item ii the Benton
new sstss Fsss.is sslf 90. 80
Cleveland journal and Banner
! in its issue of October 3. Tire
writer says in part: II has been
told here that the Tennessee
Power Company's plant at
! ParksviJle is put up in the Brad
lev county exhibit (at Knoxville J
Us people here wonder when
these plants we're placed in
Bradley county. We all thought
they were here in Polk county.
Somebody sure has cheek, brass
or something TO give Bradley
county credit at the Exposition
for our power plants. Polk
county appropriated $500 10 the
building. then all honorS are
given to Bradley and McNinn.
Is that not brazen, outrageous
stealing?'
Well, yes; that is mighty aw-
fully scandously bad to be treat
ed that way, and we think that
if we were guilty of so great a
crime, we would get down in
sack cloth and ashes and try to
get forgiveness yes, it we were
the guilty party that's where
the rub comes. Now, honest
Indian, who's fault is it that
Folk county has no exhibit at
the Exposition? Or course the
Exposition management made a
bad mistake when they named
Hon. N. B. Dunn of McMinn
county to. manage the Polk
county exhibits; not because Nep
Dunn is not we'll qualified to fill
the position as Chairman of the
Polk county exhibits, for he is a
gentleman well qualified for that
or any other position OF trust;
but because he is a citizen of
McMinn, not of Polk county.
We understand that the Exposi-
tion management, as soon as
they found their mistake, tried
to correct it, but for some rea-
son the officials of Polk did not
accept their apology.
But now, that is not what we
were Illuminating about. Who's
fault is it ahat we have no ex-
hitit at the Exposition? We
have been to Cleveland q time or

the Artz Hotel. One thing and
