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 foot
hold.
Now isn't II reasonable that the
right way to cure cough Is to build
up your strength again?
Mrs. Olivia Parham, OF East Dur
ham, N. c., says: Il took Vinol for a
chronic cough which had lasted two
years, and tho cough not only disap-
peared, but 1t built up my strength
Is WELL"
The reason vinol is so eficacious In
such cases is because It contains In q
delicious concentrated form all the
medicinal curative elements OF cod
liver oil, with tonic. bodybuilding
iron added. 4.l.r 1l
Chronic coughs and colds yield to
vinol because 1t builds up the weak
sned, rundown system. #i' 80

ed to take a patriotic view of the
question, will be well pleased to
gauge the immense prosperity OF
the country within the last three
decades by the remarkable growth
of the Government business and
the surprising increase in the num-
Der OF employees and officials within
that time, as compared with the in
crease in former periods covering
an approximate number of years.
In 1909, Thomas Jefferson, Pres
ident of the United States, trans
mitted to Congress "A roll Of all
persons having Office or employment
under the United States" This
roll shows that in the departments
at Washington there we're:
In the State department, seven
clerks and one messenger.
For the year ended June 30,
1891, the following statement
shows, approximately, the number
of persons in the several executive
departments in Washington:
In the Presidents official house
hold, himself and twenty-five 9TH
ers.
In the State department there
were hundreds OF persons, includ-
ing all the officials, clerks, messen-
gers, etc.
In the treasury there were 4,720
In the war department there
were 1,S41.
In the navy there were 81.
In the interior there were 1928
In the general post-offlce, 573.
/ In the Attorney-Ge Generals Office
1872.
In the agricultural department
434.
In the civil service commission
seventeen, and in the labor depart
ment, 105.
The total of these figures is IL,
655, and that there are in tn

sons engaged variously in the Capt

the organization, the strike, in a
sense, is still on aud all that the
United Mine Workers demand is
that the State remain neutral and
let the fight go on until justice and
right are triumphant.
"And apart from all the reasons
set forth above, when there is so
much being done to safeguard the
lives OF coal miners by the National
Government, II seems 10 me that 1t
Is very unwise policy for the State
to render any assistance in send
ing men into coal mines who have
had absolutely no experience and
who may, through their ignorance,
cause possibly hundreds OF lives to
be hurled into eternity by a mine
explosion.

MODERN RULES FOR
MANAGING A HUSBAND

A Los Angeles woman claims that
she has found out how to manage
a husband. The principal thing.
she says, is to refrain from bonn
harding him with questions when
he comes home late. She is wise
woman. The lady who merely sits
in a corner and looks in a peculiar
way at her husband when he comes
home late soon succeeds In causing
him to feel like criminal After
this treatment has been admins
tered for about the third time. the
husband who is possessed of any of
the finer instincts is ready to in
crease the allowance his wife de-
mands for running the house and
also to give up his job rather than
assume the risk Of being late again.
Try it. ladies.-tChicago Record

the appleton of the severe discip-
line. WIN the various depart

conditions a rigidly- observe ed sys-

departments.
But. tmugh the lines in certain
particular are being drawn very
tightly bout the Government
clerks, they still possess many priv
ileges no, enjoyed by the average
workingmn or woman.
No harl-hearted authority has as
yet recommended that the clerks
be deprived of that elastic privilege
known as sick leave, or their an
nual vacation with pay, or that they
shall be docked for holidays or that
the scale o, salaries shall be lower

And. comfortable rejection, nc

opportunity to make a cheap repu'

that the custom of closing the de-
partments on the funefal days OF
ex-oficials OF note wou d be more
honored in the breach thap in the

unkindest cut of all, for who thai

certain benefit. Nor do I believe the
banks will stay in the national sys-

the national system, except on the
condition that by the utilization and

which means the presidency of the

Sixteenth: There is practically
no difference in principle, and there
is no difference in the objects sought
to be accomplished, between the
Aldrich bill recently proposed by
the Monetary Commission upon the
one hand and the said Glass bill
upon the other hand-for that, the
object Of each is to permit the
banks of the country to avail of
their reserves for loaning purposes
and to be guaranteed against loss by
the establishment of a paternalistic
relationship or private partnership
with the government; and, if the said
Glass measure shall be enacted into
law embodying it's existing funda-
mental principles, it will require on
ly simple amendment at some later
time providing CD for the esta blish-
ment of one central or head bank
over the twelve regional banks, and
GU giving such central bank itself
the power to issue the currency upon
bank assets, to change the thin dis
guise Of said Glass bill into the actu-
al substance of said Aldrich measure
because both the Aldrich measure
and the Glass bill make the assets
of the banks the security for the
issuance of the currency.
