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
hold.
Now isn't it reasonable that the
right way to cure a cough is to build
up your strength again?
Mrs. Olivia Parham, of East Dur
ham, N. c., says: Il took Vinol for
chronic cough which had lasted two
years, and the cough not only disap-
peared, but It built up my strength
as we'll"
The reason Vinol is so efTicacious in
such cases is because it contains in a
delicious concentrated form all the
medicinal curative elements of cod
liver oil, with tonic, bodybuilding
iron added.
Chronic coughs and colds yield TO
Vinol because it builds up the weak
ened rundown system.
You can get your money bacl, any
time if Vinol does not do all we say.

Does sunlight mean much to you?
Did you ever think of your home as
it must appear to an outsider? Is
it gloomy or is it light and cheer
full? If it is light you should re-
joice because of your good fortune.
Even a very humble home is beau
tilted by the golden sunlight stream
ing through clean windows between
the snowy curtains that are drawn
aside to let the light have entrace.
We are told of the painstaking
New England woman who put up
the shades occasionally in her best
room, but whenever she did this she
put newspapers over he carpet
where the SOU would touch it 10
keep it from fading. She complain
ed that she could not afford to keep
the curtains up very often as it
took much of her time To move the
papers around as the sunlight
charged.
Perhaps our carpets fade less
easily today or we are more willing
10 have them fade in order to get
the good that comes from the
sunshine
There is not a spot in the house
that is not benefited by the purify
ing sunlight In cellar and attic, in
closet and hall, bacteria and mold
prefer dark pail.
Cellar ceilings and walls should
be whitewashed and shelves paint
ed white.
In a dark closet or pantry white
paint gives a sense of cleanliness
and purity.
A dark living room may be trans
formed into an attractive room by
using rich yellow paper on the walls
and cream white paint on the wood
work.
When possible groups of two
small windows may be cut between
two long windows adding light to a
room. Outside doors may be util-
lied to furnish light by having the
upper half of the door removed and
glass put in.-Prairie Farmer.

A Censor Board for Shelbina.

the matter Of establishing Chair
ty Endorsement Board" or Censor
Board for the purpose of handling
transient solicitors was taken up
and discussed by members of the
club who strongly favored the move
ment. After the discussion the
matter was placed in the handsof a
special committee with instructions
to carry it before the Business
Mems Association that this body
perfect plans for its adoption
By this move it is evident the
business men and citizens Of Shell
bina have grown tired Of being so
licited for aid by every Tom, Dick
and Harry that happens to come
this way, and by the establishment
of a Charity Endorsement Board"
or Censor Board" as it may be de
termined, only those persons or in.
stitutionS who are really worthy Of
support will be allowed to 90 from
place to place soliciting aid.
When the matter is brought be-
fore the B. M A., as we understand
it, that body will select a Censor
Committee whose duty it will be
to investigate and examine all per-
sons who come into our city for the
purpose of soliciting funds for for
eign institutions Of whatsoever kind
and for personal use. If, ia the
opinion of the board, the party or
parties seeking aid are found to be
for a worthy cause, they are to be
given card containing the o K. of
the Censor Board; if not. they are
given to understand that there is
nothing doing. After this rule is
adopted and put in force, and when
you are approached by a solicito r
ask to see his or her card bearing
the o. X. of the Censor Board. Ii
produced, keep your money; if the
card is produced, you may know you
are contributing to something
worthy of your support. This rule
in the opinion Of the Torchlisht, is
one Of the best things the B. M. A
could do to relieve the annoyance
and doubt which exists in the minds
OF the citizens Of our city when
contributing to some one they new
er saw before. Il will eliminate
the question mark entertained by
the donor after the party is out OF
sight and ry,ch. AS a rule. the
people Of Shelbina are quick tc
come to the aid Of those who are
truly in need; they are equally as
quick to form an opinion as to
whether some are as needy as rep,
resented, yet in the face of their
opinion and for fear Of being in the
wrong, sometimes respond in q
very liberal way to those making
the appeal.
Shelbina hardly has a day but
what someone is on the streets and
in the business houses begging OF
soliciting. 1t seems we are on &
circuit of professional aim seekers
who go from place to place seeking
fluids by begging or selling some
thing of trifllng nature which can
be bought much cheaper from ouI
local merchants, and from the
action taken by this body of repre-.
sentative men, they have grown
tired of being made a target by
this class of people.

SOUTHERN BUSINESS ENERGY.

One gets an idea of the vim behind the movement
to awake the South to its opportunities for a great
increase in trade following the opening of the Panama
canal by glance at the program of the Southern
Commercial Congress- to be held in Mobile October
27, %, and 2e
First, there is appropriateness in holding the
congress in Mobile, the nearest port to the Atlantic
end Of the canal, and in Alabama the State of John
7. Morgan, father of the canal idea" And ther,
so far as the addresses concerned, the subjects
cover a wide practical range of what can be done
and what ought to be done that shows particularly
thorough conception of the possibilities.
But most practical of all, after talking of going
to seek trade the congress proposes to do that very
thing Immediately upon the conclusion of its last
session. One expedition will 60 to Panama to lock
over the situation and another will 20 all the way
around South America, visiting every country and
taking ample time 10 study the trade outlook in each
The congress is to be congratulated upon its
determination to make both scientific and aggressive
effort to get for the South the large share OF the new
business to which that part of the country is entitled

object we'll: "A greater nation through greater

ANOTHER AMERICAN VICTORY.

The British government announces that it has

China. Originally sixpower loan, the United States
withdrew and now Britain drops out In all prob
ability the scheme of an international financial over
lordship and irstmortgage against China's finances

The world pretty we'll understands that the powers
entered into this scheme because of their suspicious
of each oher not at all from any sincere motive of
helping China. Each being afraid the other would
get some advantage through financing the new re-
public, it was agreed that they should attempt the
project of a joint loan so that everybody would
know just what was going on behind the scenes. 1t
was an impossible project and there is no doubt
that the United States, in taking the first step toward
blowing up the whole scheme of sefshness distrust
and exploitation, proved itself the best friend Of
China. Great Britain, bit tardly it is true, now
falls into line
The great rich nation of China is entitled to
finance itself in the way other nations do; with in
dependence and self-respect. The effort to hitch

its beginning, and America has again proved that

THE SEAL SALE IN ST. LOUIS.

Secretary Red6eld has not intimated that there
we're any sensational considerations involved in the
order of his department, that the annual sale Of
sealskins shall hereafter be held in ST. Louis. But,
the less, taking the big auction back to ST. Louis
is most interesting and sentimentally suggestive
performance.
ST. Louis was the greatest primary fur market in
the world for considerable period To it came the
furs Of the Missouri and Mississippi valley, the
western Lake region, of the mountain country, and
of much of Canada. 1t even competed with the won
derful Hudson Bay Company for much business in
Canada, because of the facility with which bales of
pelts could be foated down the Missouri.

"A COMMON CARRIER"

1t would be denial of everything that everybody
knows about the English language and the meanings
OF common words to question that taxicab company
in Washington is a common carrier
If in framing piece of legislation somebody has
sneaked in phrase that, in the light of some other
phrase in some musy court decision makes it possible
to be uncertain, then the law has been jobbed.
Let the Public Utilities Commission drop its wor-
ries about whether taxicabs are common carriers,
amenable to the law such. The gentlemen of that
commission are So sane and sensible that, if they
don't yet know it themselves, we will undertake to
inform them, they going to decide that taxicabs
are common carriers. They would not merely be
ridiculous to decide otherwise but they would sub
ject themselves to the suspicion that they had been
unduly influenced.
If the present law doesn't make taxicab COM
pany common carrier it is for the court to decide
that it doesn't. Meantime let the Public Utilities
Commission cut out its worries about things that at
best it can't settle, and attend its business Of regu-
lating There is apleny to do to the taxicab people
in that regard The taxicab companies of course
will protest; so did the railroads, against being regu
lated, and having free passes and rebatng stopped
But regulation, stoppage Of passes and rebates in
Creased railroad earnings. Regulation, stoppage Of
graft and special privilege, will do the same thing
for the taxicab companies.
