VINOL HELPS OLD PEOPLE
Here is Proof That 1t Creates
Strength.

So many cases like this are con-
stantly coming to our attention that
we publish lit for the benefit of
others: Mrs. James Mccormick, of
Cohoes, N, Y, says: my mother is
an elderly lady and after having pneu-
monia she did not seem to recover
her strength. She was so weak it
was about as much as she could do
to get from her room into the living
room. Her strength seemed to &c
all gone. I commenced to give her
Vinol, and in less than week she
was like a new woman. She had re,
gained her strength so she could get
around anywhere"
1t is the medicinal curative ele-
ments of the cod livers without oil
aided by the blood-making and
strengthening properties of tonic
iron which are contained in Vinol that
makes it so efficient in such cases.

TAFT APPOINTMENT
BATTLE CONTINUES

Washington, d. c., Jan. 2S.-The re-
publican fight for confirmation Of
President Taft's 1900 appointments
now pending in the senate, will come
to a head tomorrow when a republican
caucus will be asked by republican
leaders to bind it's members to con-
tinuous session behind closed doors in
an effort to break democratic opposi-
ton.
The caucus has been called ostensi5-
ly TO take up the proposal made by
the democrats for joint committee to
weed out the Taft appointments and
select certain ones that shall be con-
firmed.
1t is understood that prominent re-
publicans will submit to the caucus :;
proposed plan by which the members
would bind themselves to attempt r,
hold the senate continuously in session
until the democrats could be forced -
give way and permit a general con-
sideration all appointments.
1t is believed tonight that many of
the republicans would not agree to
the suggested plan.
Since the democratic fight began a
number of executive sessions have been
held, but the democrats have kept
up a general filibuster, and have pre-
vented action except on three or four
nominations. The attitude of indiv-
idual republicans indicates that the
caucus tomorrow will decline to treat
with the democrats through joint
committee. In case the plan for con-
tinuous filibuster also fails the situa-
ton over the appointments will re-
main practically unchanged
Democratic leaders apparently have
determined to hold in abayance all ac-
ton on. appointments until toward the
close of February when they believe
the republicans can be forced to agree
to the confirmation of the army, navy,
consular, marine corps and public
health service, appointments leaving
the balance to fail by expiration of the
session March A.

Men in America Are Rude

Step forward, men, and take your
punishment! Steady, there-no side

that she should know a gentleman
when she sees one she points with
pride to her ancestry, which runs
back to the Castilian grandees.
1t is the idea of the American Nine.
del Garcia, ETC., says, to haul around
by the arm the lady they would charm.
when the lady's arm has nothing what
ever to do with her heart, They have
no manners; they cannot tell whether

ones are the worst of ALL
She began her little speech with
a shrug of her shoulders that was

said, knows nothing about a lady.
They do not know the difference be-
tween the lady who will flirt and
the lady who will not. No; l will
not This latter was in response to
the half asked question if she had
learned this by actual experience.
THE Americana continued the
Spanish singer, cannot treat a lady
like she is accustomed to being treat

an address today by President Edwin
F. Green. at the opening of the an
nual meeting of the National Associ-
alton of Cotton Manufacturers. The
fictitious name of Mary konovsky has
been given to a Russian-Polish girl
22 years old, who was employed in a
textile mill at Little Falls at Sc a
week and struck for $3.50.
The testimony of Mary Konovsky
before the commissioner of arbitra-
ton has been published throughout
the country, Mr.. Green said.
I'm consequence, thousands of kind
pitiable condition of this poor
Polander.
Il would like to say a few words
directly tc these sympathetic people.
Mary Konovsky stands before the
commission. She is poor human
creature, born and bred in poverty
and misery, uneducated, unframed,
stolid, stupid, but possessed of an i'm
mortal soul and eager for the better
ment of her condition. She wants
$3.50 a week and will be satisfied
with that amount Her former en-
ployer, a manufacturer who has a
large factory representing an invest

who is the agent of the stockho olders
of his company, all of whom demand
that he run this factory at a profit,

Reported New State Board
VIII ReOrganize X. q.
Instructors Must Pass Rigid
Quiz on Appointment.

Lawrence, Kan, April 23.-Dis-
quieting rumors continue to arrive
from the haunts of the new admins
trative board which has succeeded the
old boards of regents in the control of
affairs of the state educational insti-
tutions.
The latest information which has
arrived here has created almost a
panic among the faculty of the uni
versity. 1t is stated that the board
at some recent meeting has declared
vacant all places on the university
faculty. The rumor further says that
the board plans a careful examination
of the present faculty after which it
as pass the investigation, and that
those who are left out may simply
consider themselves as fired"
There is no confirmation of this ru-
NOR, but nevertheless it has created
quite a stir on the hill. where it is be-
ing anxiously discussed by faculty
members. Many faculty men are said
to be so much concerned as to be
looking for other positions. The feel
ing of uncertainty is causing them to
prepare to leave if an opportunity Of
ferS itself. Many men have left the
university this year because of better
positions open to them and it under
stood that this latest reported action
of the new board is causing many 9TH
ers to seek new places
The rumor further says that Chan
cellor Strong has been named by the
school, but that no other of the va
cancies have been filled as yet. There
is no knowledge as to when this action
will be taken.

like BRYAN'S idea
Senate Committee Approves of
Secretary's Peace Plan.
All International Disputes Sub
mitted to Commission.

Washington, April 23.-At the con-
day with the entire membership of
the senate foreign relations committee,
Secretary Bryan stated that the COM
mittee had given general APPROVAL to
his outline of a plan designed to bring
about international peace. Secretary
Bryan said the details of the plan
would not be given out until he had
talked them over with President Will
son.
The basic idea of a proposed system
of treaties, as Secretary Bryan out
lined to the committee today is
that all international disputes be first
submitted to a commission of inquiry
and that the report of the commission
be made public before the countries
would be at liberty to proceed to war.
The secretary will lay the plan be-
fore President Wilson as soon as pos
sible and will perfect the details. The
result of today'S conference, it was
said, assures a favorable reception to
any international treaties that may be
negotiated by the president and the
secretary looking to the Limitation of
armaments and to international COM
missions of inquiry.
Senator Cham berlaSns resolution
for the abrogation of the Isthmian
canal treaties with Great Britain was
referred to a subcommittee.
Senator Mark Smiths resolution
asking the president for a report on
injuries to Americans and American
property in Mexico was favorably re-
ported.

1850 Postal Clerks.

Washington, April 23.-Postmaster
General Burleson, it is said, is con-
templating in the near future a general
shakeup in the railway mail service
and the heads of divisions in that
branch of the poStoff1ce department to-
day are nervously awaiting the depart
mental earthquake. The change, it is
intimated, will not affect the 1880
railway postal clerks who travel over
the various railroads throughout the
country.
Members of the congressional COM
mittees, having to do with the depart
ment have recommended to the post
master general the appointment of
James T. Garfield of New York as
general superintendent of the railway
mail service to succeed Superintendent
Theodore ingalls,. Mr.. Garfield was a
workuing mail clerk for querater of
a century and was recently president
of the Railway Mail Clerks associa-
ton.
While Mr.. Burleson has made no
promises he is said to have intimated
that he would undertake a sweeping
change in the railway mail personnel
''as soon as 1 could get around to it,
Pressure of other matters has been so
great, he said, that action has been de-
ferred.
