SubstitutiOn of Cicars


 Local tobacco dealers have read with keen interest news in trade publica- tons of the arrest by United States authorities in Kansas City of three druggists charged with refilling empty boxes With cigars of inferior quality and selling them as the higher quality cigars.
 Jobhers declare that the same prac- tice is in vogue in Birmingham and if similar action were taken here that there would be no surprise in trade circles. One big jobber who, for ob- vious reasons. asked that his name be withheld had the following to say about the matter yesterday:
 Tobacco men here were much in- terested to read in the United States Tobacco Journal the news of the arr rest of three Kansas City druggists charged with substitution-that is, fail- ure to destroy the revenue stamp on a cigar box and refilling it with cigars of inferior quality. This is being done in Birmingham to my own knowledge and it would not surprise me if the government authorities took action soon.
 The dispatch from Kansas City, to which referred, after giving the names of the men arrested, says:
 !" Box stuffing has become so bad in Kansas City that we were afraid it would ruin our extensive trade on the brand in question, said MT. O'Maley. at whose instance the arrests were .Ja favorite brands here and we are not going to take chances with a cigar that already has d sale of 600,000 a week in this territory

HOLIDAY QUIET IN WESTERLY
Union Service in Broad Street Hearing L- Applications Stanton Clark, 94 Critical Ill

Attorney Albert R. Crafts, with resi- dence in Westerly and office in Gran ston, has brought suit in Providence in behalf of Patrick Moan against Frederick Pierce, a contractor, in a suit for $15,00O damages for injuries received. Moan is carpenter and was In the employ of Pierce. The plaintiff claims that he was assisting another employe to move 8 pile of boards on the second floor of a building in pro- cess of construction by the defendant Moan says that the other man gave the board they were carrying a pusE that caused him to fall through al opening in the floor to the first floor, a distance of twelve feet. Moan claims he was permanently injured, and that his employer is responsible, and is so advised by Attorney Crafts.
 As the provisions of the war tax are to become operative within few days and under the requirements Of the cut certain commodities and business transactions must pay tax to the gov ernment in the shape of revenue stamp, has caused more or less con- lecture among Westerly business men as to where the stamps are to be pro- cured. Some were of opinion that the stamps would be on sale at the post office, and inquiry was made of Post master Butler as to when the stamps would be placed on sale. The presence of Deputy Collector Dunn at the post office gave an impression that he was there, in part, to arrange for the sale of stamps, of the war tax series. The deputy was at the post office for the convenience of dealers in tobacco and liquor who are called upon to pay the tax levied on these articles.
 War tax stamps in Rhode Island are procurable only at the internal revenue office in Providence, although local banks may have 8 stock for the accom- modation of patrons Just a few in Westerly are of opinion that the gov ernment should accommodate the general public by placing these stamps on sale at the post office the same as

Asbury Park Woman Had Complete Nervous Break doWn-ReStored to Health bY Vinol.

Asbury Park, N.J.-ttI was in such a nervous, weak, rundown condition that could not sleep nights, every little thing disturbed dme, my appetite was very poor, and was losing flesh. was so nervous at times that l used to faint and have mysteries. 1 do my housework for a family of four, and they became alarmed at my condition. I tried beef, iron and wine and cod liver oil emulsiona without benefit. One day our druggist suggested that I try Vinol and told me how it had helped others. I did so, and it has simply done wonders for me, as am well woman and entirely cured of my nervousness. Mrs. KATHERINE B. KLEIN, Asbury Park, NJ.
 Such reliable testimony should con- vince others of the value of Vinol, therefore if you are worn out, weak and nervous and want new strength and more vitality, we ask you to take Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron tonic. If it fails to benefit you we give back your money.
 Vinol is a constitutional remedy for all weak, nervous and rundown con- ditions of men, women and children.

 The forty chairs in the town coun- ciI chamber in the town hall are none too many to accommodate those who will attend the public hearing tonight when consideration is given the appli- cations for liquor licenses for the next gwo years. There are twice as many applicants as there are licenses permit
 ed under the law, provided the coun- cilmen desire to issue the full number based on one for each 500 of popula- ton. The advocates of no-license having lost their caTS e are now favor ing a more equal distribution of sa- looms throughout the town rather than punching the majority of them practi- cally in one section, in the hope that this might tend to bring the saloon in- to more prominence and perhaps strengthen the no-license movement when next the license question is be- fore the electors for action.
 Unless new evidence appears this even, it is probable that those who are to receive license have already been selected, and all that is lacking is the legal form of hearing and delivery.

 The Republicans
 In contradistinction with the demo- orats. there is. no contest in the -e publican party and the meeting today ,s likely to be one of harmony. Dele gations generally have arrived with an open mind on the question of the state chairman. Judge J. H. Kibbey, of Maricopa. is the man most spoken of as the coming state chairman Judge Kibbey was recently elected county chairman of Maricopa on his own terms and it is quite possible that repetition of the county com mittee meeting will be given when his name is proposed.
 The question of the proposed com bination with the progressives was not receiving much thought or com ment last night There was a dispo- sition to let that question stay in ticn of the party for the fight. The general headquarters for the repu5- licans was around the Adams hotel last evening, where many were wait 1 ing for the arrival of Don J. Lorenzo Hubbell, state chairman and candi- date for United States senator. It was conceded that MT. Hubbell holds the key to the situation largely ir his own hands and whatever he says today will likely go as far as the rest of them are concerned.

 Tt is purpose to oppose any party iS power that uses such power to oppose the enfranchse- ment of the women of America.
 AS from time immemorial women have stood together, shoulder shoulder, for the betterment Of civic conditions. for reforms that political rupton make necessary for the preservation of human life for high religious standards, the pro- tection of the home the upft of humanity, the east confident that the justice loving women of the west will cooperate in demanding of government the political enfranchisement of the women of the United States. It is in the power of women to free women, the exalted task the world has set and the achievement will gorify forever the ssterhood of which heralds the complete unity of the women of the future
 T would also remind you that whenever group of men have their political freedom. they have not hesitated to reach out and help other groups of men win theirs.
