BOUQUET FOR ABILENE.
fFrom the Galena Timesl


The writer has been spending the
past week in his old home town
Abilene, one of the towns in Kansas
that is making a good deal OF ma
terial progress. 1t is now one OF
the prettiest towns in the state and
growing more so every day. Consid-
cradle activity seems to be in opera
ton in the building line and the
area of paved streets is becoming
much extended Abilene is a town
that lends itself readily to the hand
of the improver, as the land on
which it stands presents no difficult
~ to the builder. whether he de-
vote his attention to houses or
!. roads. Rich in soil and greatly fa-
vored by it's long stretches of shad-
ed streets and driveways, and beau
tiful lawns, it is hardly matter or
wonder that at this season of the
year, when the foliage of its myriad
trees is at it's freshest and greenest,
the town should wear an aspect that
sfayorably impresses the visitor, even
If he be only one of those commonly
known as "the casual observer.
There are many, many fine homes
and business houses in Abilene. It's
progressive spirit is due to, the fact
4 that its citizens and business men
pull together. 1t has a city hall,
public library, Masonic temple
costing about $4,000 each-and the
government has just commenced
] work on $4,000 postoffice build
I ing. The city is blessed with the
best and purest water in the land
sewerage system, large electric
light plant run by water power, now
building a large manufacturing gas
plant, has large creamery and
storage plant costing over $1O0,0OO;
its, schools can't be beat and the
buildings are the best in the state.
Abilene seems destined to become
not only a town of large business
interests with its three railroads
Union Pacific, Santa Fe and Rock
Island, but also one with undoubted
residential desirabilities.. It's business
.men's club working hand in hand
with the city officials is doing won
ders for the growth of the city. To
see Abilene is to see a growing,
busy, beautiful place.

MRS. APPELT ASKED TO RESIGN.
Reported for Not Giving POstOffice
Work Personal Attention.

Washington, May 19.-The first as
sistant postmaster general has called
for the resignation of Mrs. Appelt as
postmistress at Manning, because the
inspectors report shows that she is
not attending to the Office personally.
This is carrying out the policy recent
iy announced by the postmaster gen.
eral, that postmasters must give their
IEersonal attention to the business
of their Offices. 1t is stated that the
resignation of Mrs. Appelt will be
accepted, if rendered Immediately.
For some little time the postofice
department has been conducting quiet
investigations all over the country
to see if postmasters are paying the
proper personal attention to their
work, and it is likely that there will
be good many other cases similar
to that at Manning.

HOW CHRONIC COUGHS
Are Being Cured by vinol.

Did you ever cough for month?
Then just think how distressing 1t
must be to have a cough hang on for
three months.
Mrs. Maria Primrose, Of 81 Newell
Street, Brooklyn, N. Y, says: Il had
a very heavy cold which settled into
a chronic cough, which kept me
awake nights for fully three months,
and felt tired all the time because my
rest was broken so much. The effect
of taking your cod liver and iron rem
edy, Vinol, is that my cough is gone.
I can now get good nights rest, and
feel much stronger in every way"
It is the combined action Of the
medicinal elements, Gods livers, aided
by the bIood-making and strength
creating properties Of tonic iron which
makes Vinol so efficient in curing
chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis
at the same time building up the
weakened, run down system.
Try a bottle Of vinol, with the un-
derstanding that your money will
be returned If it does not help you.
P. S. For rough, scaly skin, try
our saxo Salve. We guarantee it.
