COD LIVER OIL AND IRON
Two Most World-Famed Tones
Combined in vinol

Cod Liver oil and Iron have proved
TO be the two most successful tonics
the world has ever known-iron for
the blood and the medicinal curative
elements of cod liver oil as a
strength and tissue builder for body
and nerves, and for the successful
treatment OF throat and lung
troubles.
Two eminent French chemists dis
covered a method OF separating the
curative medicinal elements of the
Gods livers from the oil o. grease
which is thrown away. but to these
medicinal elements tonic iron is now
added, thus combining in Vinol the
two most world famed tones.

OlSREGARDED RULES OF SEA
Captain Berry Makes Further Admis
sions About Collision.

Captain Osmyn Berry of the steam.
ship Nantucket admitted at his trial
in Philadelphia that he had broken an
international navigation rule in run.
ming his ship at full speed in fog
just before hitting the steamer Mon.
roe. Not only had he violated an inter.
national rule, he conceded, but in ad.
dition he had disregarded a law OF
his own in running at full speed when
he could see only a quarter of mile
ahead of his ship.
The skipper admitted that only once
while he was master on the Nantucket
had there been a lifeboat drill IN
which the boats keels touched the
water.
He admitted that II he had stopped
his engines on hearing the fog signal
from the Monroe and proceeded eau.
tiously,' as the navigation laws re.
quire, there would have been no col
lision. Later, however, he became
confused and insisted that II he had
slowed down to half speed the col
lision would have occurred just the
same.

WORST STORM IN MANY YEARS
Metropolis Now Endangered by
Flames and Firemen Patrol Beats
as Was Custom in Colonial Days.

New York, March 3.-The record
storm for a quarter of century has
driven seaward after paralyzing rail
road service, running wire communica-
tions and destroying public and pri-
vate business.
The weather man believes that
winters grip is broken and tells us
that warmer temperatures and rain
are on the way.
The disappearing blizzard has left
four boroughs at the mercy of fire,
destroying or deadening the fire

Queens and the Bronx, where firemen
are patrolling beats as they used to
do in New Amsterdam 250 years ago.
In Manhattan only is the system in
working order.
Four men were killed by trains
while shoveling snow from the tracks,
two being swept from the trestle over
Jamaica bay. A man was found frozen
to death at Hackensack. N. j. His

turned his back to the wind as Il
swept from the north. He appeared
to have lost his way in the storm.
As regards the destruction of rail
road service which was more general
and complete than operating officials
ever remembered the situation has
improved.
The Pennsylvania and the Lehigh
Valley resumed through service and
promised, as did all the other roads,
a betterment of local service. The
New York Central and New Haven re-
ported mitigated conditions.
Nothing approaching the demolition
Of telegraph and telephone service
was ever known. In this city, with
It's conduits and protected cables, the
phone annoyance was trivial, but in
New Jersey and Long Island the con-
ditions could hardly have been worse.
Unaccountable miles of telegraph
and telephone wires were useless,
broken or sagged under snow and ice,
Only Newark could be reached by
telegraph from this city. The only di-
rect service to Washington and the
west for newspapers or commercial
use was by means OF one underground
system Of wires.

PUNISHMENT OF
SLAYERS ASKED
Secretary Bryan Informs Huerta
Of VeTgard'S Death
BENTON PROBE IS STARTED
English Consul PercevaI Begins Exam
ination Of Witnesses at Border.
Villa Offers Special Train For Party.

Two hours discussion of the MeXi-
en- situation in all its phases by
President Wilson and his cabinet de
veloped unanimity of opinion that
TIE time had not yet arrived for any
change in the policy Of the Washing
ton government.
Though reserving judgment on the
facts surrounding the execution Of
William S. Benton, British subject, the
president and his cabinet regarded as
CT serious moment the hanging by
Mexican federals OF Clemente Vergara,
an American citizen.
Immediately after the meeting Sec.
rotary Bryan cabled Charge O'Shaugh-
messy to demand of the Huerta govern.
ment the punishment of those respon-
sible for Vergara's death.
Representative Mondell, Republican,
of Wyoming, in vigorous attack on
the Mexican policy in the house pre-
dicted that in the event of the Con.
stitutionalists overthrowing Huerta
there would follow reign of rapine,
plunder and murder" that. would
spread over all Mexico.
"The recent cold-blooded murder or
barbarous execution, whichever it may
prove to have been, of Ranchman
Benton at Juarez," Mondell declared
"has served to throw sinister light
on the character of the Constitution
alist commander of the north, but
neither surprise nor revelation to
those who have been following de.
velopments in northern Mexico"

Criticism For Parcel Post.

During the debate on an amendment
to the postofflce appropriation bill in
the senate Senator Bristow of Kansas
made an attack en- the way the parcel
post law is being administered.
The amendment that Senator Bris.
tow supported provides that the pres.
ent zone arrangement be not dis.
turbed by the postmaster general un.
less he is given authority.
The senator pointed out many re.
markable disparities under the system
of administering the law between the
cost of transporting parcels of the
same weight for longer and shorter
hauls.
He showed that in Virginia it would
cost as much to convey parcel from
Staunton to another point thirteen
miles away as it would cost to carry
the same parcel from Washington to
the same destination.
''If the bill had been actually drawn
by the big mail order houses" said the
senator from Kansas, at could not
have more nearly met the require.
ments of these concerns. AS admin.
istered they enjoy remarkable favors
in the way of transportation"

PhiIadeIphIa Roughly Used.


Philadelphia March 3.-Philadel-
phia was snowbound. Railroad serv.
Zee in all directions was crippled and
in some cases, particularly to New
York, was discontinued. Telegraphic
communication was practically cut Off.
The blizzard was the most dis
astrous since February, 1902. The
actual snowfall was about seven
inches, but in the suburbs II was much
heavier and the high winds piled it
up high.
Seven persons are dead as result
of the storm. A motorman was crushed
to death between two trolley cars, a
stevedore fell into the hold of ship,
four men and a woman died on the
street and numerous more or less seri-
GUS accidents are reported from all
sections of the city.
A portion of the brick wall OF the
Phillies ball park hundred feet long
was blown down. In the northeastern
part of the city several houses were
blown down. These we're untenanted,
however, and no one was injured.
Reports from all points up state as
far as WilIiamsport tell of great
havoc wrought. Houses were blown
down and unroofed and many barns
were destroyed.
A train on the Pennsylvania became

break the passengers discovered they
were marooned opposite farm house.
A raid was made on the farmer who
when he learned of their plight car
ried forty gallons of milk and other
provisions to the train and fed the
women and children. He declined any
remuneration.

ohloan May Go to Russia.

Senator Pomerene of Ohio expressed
the opinion that Representative w. c..
Sharp of Elyria, o., would be appoint.
ed ambassador to Russia. Mr.. Sharp
is one of the wealthiest members Of
congress from Ohio and is said to have
amassed about $2,OO0,000 from the
manufacturing business and is not
averse to entering the diplomatic serv-
ice.
The only obstacle that appears in
the way of the appointment is the at
titude of Governor Cox of Ohio, be-
tween whom and Representative Sharp
there has been sharp political rivalry
and some bad feeling. Senator Pom
creme was asked by the president
whether the appointment of Mr.. Sharp
as ambassador would be offensive to
Governor Cox. The senator stated that
in his opinion it would not, but ad-
mitted that he had not communicated
with the governor

Mrs. Edwards Desires No Notoriety
and Pleads That Her Place of Sc.

In the outskirts of Philadelphia Mrs.
Kate Edwards, released from prison
after thirteen years Incarceration for
murder, is living in seclusion at the
home of one of the numerous women
who have been working for years to
gain liberty for her.
When she left the Jail in Berks
county Mrs. Edwards took on a new
name which she says she will retain
for the rest of her life.

sisted by her attorneys follows:
ITO the newspapers of the country,
and the hundreds o, thousands of per-
sons who have stood by me in the
ordeal of my trial and imprisonment:

Mrs. Edwards had been in the
shadow Of the gallows for nearly thir-
teen years for the killing of her hus-
band and was released from the Berks
county Jail under pardon granted by
Governor Tener.
Convicted of first degree murder in
1901 she was sentenced to be hanged,
but four governors declined to fix a
day for her execution. After her con
viction petitions were circulated in
many parts of the country and were
signed by thousands of women pro.
testing against the execution of one
of their sex.

WEATHER A BARRIER
New Business Restricted In Many
Sections Of Country.
Dun's Review of Trade says this

Dun'S REVIEW OF Trade says this
week:
Severe storms restricted new bust
ness in many sections Of the country
this week and caused delay in making
deliveries on old orders. The intense
cold and heavy snowfall stimulated
activity in seasonable merchandise at
retail, but the interruption to general
trade was sufficient TO retard distribu.
tion considerably. Traffic bloekades
hampered freight movements and re.
duced receipts resulted in higher
prices for various food products.
"While weather conditions had a
tendency to check progress in com
mercial and Industrial channels re
ports from the leading eenters con
time optimistic in terror. Best news
emanated from those lines benefitine
by low temperatures, notably heavy
weight apparel, footwear and fuel"
