COUGH TWO YEARS OLD
Yields to vinol. Read Why.

Strong vigorous men and women
hardly ever catch cold; it's only when
the system is run down and vitality
low that colds ard coughs get a foot
hold.
Now isn't 1t reasonable that the
right way to cure a cough Is to build
up your run down condition again?
Mrs. d. A. MCGEE OF Waycross, Ga.
says: Il had a chronic cold and cough
which kept me awake nights for two
years and I felt tired all the time.
Vinol cured my cough and feel
stronger In every way"
The reason Vinol Is so efficacious
IN such cases is because It contains
in delicious concentrated form all
the medicinal curative elements OF
cod liver oil, with tonic, blood build
ing iron added.
Chronic coughs and colds yield to
vinol because 1t builds up the weak
ened, rundown system.

portance of the subject and the necessity
for cooperation among Southern com
munities is sufficient warrant. believe
for requesting you TO publish and com
ment on this letter.
New Orleans is among the five cities
Of the United States most prominently
mentioned as cities Of natural selection
for the establishment of United States
regional or federal reserve bank. We
are asking the commercial organiza-
tions, banks, newspapers and business
men OF the New Orleans territory to
support our claims for the following
logical reasons:
"a Central location for handling do
mestic paper for the greatest number OF
Southern States and cities.
(2) Central and natural gateway for
the Mississippi Valley, Central South,
the Panama Canal and Latin Amer
lean trade.
(S) Financial importance, being the
South s largest banking city.
(4) Industrial importance, being the
largest manufacturing city in the South.
(5) Commercial importance, being
the largest wholesale market in the
South.
60 Shipping importance, being the
largest seaport of the South and second
only to New York in volume and value
OF exports and imports.
ca Metropolitan importance, being
the largest city in the South.
(S) represent establishment at New
Orleans OF numerous other great branch
es OF the government having iurisdic-
ton over the territory which would be
covered by regional bank at New Or
leans.
(9) This combination OF conditions,
in conjunction with the Panama Canal,
will make New Orleans the great mar
keto Of deposit for North America and
effect the Warehouse OF the Western
Hemisphere.
We have no word of dispraise for our
competitors. On the other hand we re-
ioice in the strength OF their claims and
their spirit of enterprise which is max
ing the South. We believe, however,
in all sincerity, that, no matter how
meritorious their claims, those of New
Orleans take precedence. We believe
their best interests and the bast interests
Of the South and the United States will
be served by establishment OF the South
ern Regional Bank at New Orleans.
We believe that the force Of natural
selection will govern the action Of the
committee and that the Federal Reserve
Bank will ultimately and inevitably be
located here. We feel, however, that
we should ask and should have the sup
port OF those cities bound to us by
natural ties of mutual and self interest
and for that reason have gone to you
and others to solicit it. We believe an
impartial view will be taken in this mat
ter and that whatever city is selected
will be we'll selected. We believe the
metropolis Of the South will be that city
For that reason, Mr.. Editor, we have
gone out to all Southern communities
to ask them TO MAKE 1T UNANI-
NOUS FOR NEW ORLEANS"

Great German Fleet Prepar-
pairing for Raid, Paris
Hears
YESTERDAYS
RAID BUT A FEINT
To Cover a General Dash
from Naval Base at
Helgoland

Paris, Dec. 1.-THE raid OF the Ger
man warships on the English coast was
not unexpected here. 1t had been pre-
dicted by several close observers OF the
naval events and possibilities Of the war
who have had information from inside
official sources.
These men believe that the lombard
ment OF yesterday will be followed soon
If it has not been followed already-by
a general dash of the German warships
into the Atlantic from the naval base at
Helgoland, where they have been bot
tied up by the British ships since the be-
ginning of the war.
1t has been known that the kaiser and
his advisers have been planning one great
coup for the German navy The bonn
bardment of yesterday Is looked upon
only as a demonstration made partlcu-
larly for the purpose of calling off the
watch of the British warships from the
ships that have been held at Wilhelms-
haven and the KEEL canal. With a heavy
force of British ships drawn down to the
Yorkshire coast by the raid of yesterday
it was believed that the way would be
left open for a great German teet-yir-
tually all the big ships at the naval base
to make dash for the open sea.
For the Germans this means, in all
that they are going out to
their death. They are determined, how
ever, to destroy whatever they can OF
British commerce and to work whatever
they can TO British coast |
cities before they are themselves smashed |
by the British ships. Their programme |
according to observers here, will be a |
fight and then a run for it. Their aim !
will be to do as much damage as possible |
to British commerce, and then If outnum-
bered seek haven in some neutral port.
1t is doubtless true that the same in
formation that has been current in the |
circles here has also been in /
the possession OF the British admiralty /
office. Accordingly, it is believed that
Sir Johs Jellicoe has been prepared for
my sortie.
1t is thought here that the result that
The Germans expected from the raid OF
has already happened and that
he vessels that bombarded Scarborough,
Hartlepool and Whitby have already
,een cut of from their base ii not dis
edged. The Germans were prepared TO
ose the ships in this raid for the geneI- 4
I effect of the demonstration
Whatever the result of yesterdays raid
II the success OF the proposed general |
lash for the open, il is believed here
hat the operations on the sea will be- for
he time the most momentous OF the war.
