HOW ID CURE \
 CHRONIC COUCH
Told in the Following Letter by a Jackson Man Who Knows from Experience. His Word Is Good.

Jackson, Miss-"I am a carpenter, and the grippe left me not only with a chronic cough, but l was rundown, worn out and weak. took all kinds of cough syrups but they did me no good. l finally got so weak l was not able to do day work, and coughed so much I was alarmed about my condition. One evening read about Vinol and decided to try it. Before l had taken a quarter of bottle 1 felt better, and after taking two bottles my cough is entirely cured, all the bad symptoms have disappeared and have gained newv vim and energy" JOHN L. DENNIS, I'll Lynch Street, Jackson, Miss.
 The reason Vinol is so successful in such cases is because the active medic inal principles of cod liver oil contained in Vinol rebuilds wasting tissues and supplies strength and vigor to the nerves and muscles while the tonic iron and wine assist the red corpuscles of the blood to absorb oxygen and distribute it through the system, thus restoring health and strength to the weakened, diseased organs of the body.
 If Vinol fails to help you, we return your money.

stands square on every question" and
no one ever has to wonder which side
of a question he is on. While he is
not antagonistic, at the same time he
has some firm convictions and the
strength of character enough to stand
firmly by his convictions. He has
consented to make two speeches at

topics will be "The Mind of Paul" and
"A Plea for the Separation of the

FRENCHMEN
(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, April 20.-French military
authorities who have been investigat-
ing the alleged attempt to destroy the
French transatlantic liner LaTou-
raine, and in connection with which
Raymond Swaboda, a naturalized
American, was taken into custody a
month ago, today announced that evil
dence sufficient to hold the prisoner
had not been obtained and the charge
of attempting to destroy the steamer
by means of an Internal machine pre-
ferred against Swaboda will be dis
missed.
The man is being held on charge
of espionage, however, and will not be
given his liberty until the military au-
thorities are better satisfied regarding
his alleged American citizenship and
the genuineness of his passports.

PARIS IS JOYFUL

CONGRATULATIONS AND 4 TOLD

TAB0OED.
(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, April 20.-There are many
signs of returning life in Paris. Flags
fluttering on shop fronts in the fresh
winds seem to express a new sort Of
courage, a courage in consonance with
the communicates" A wave of optim-
ism has submerged the town. 1t is ap-
parent in the gay-colored walls invit-
ing to amusement it is apparent, also
in conversation. The man from the
trenches speaks convincingly of the
approaching end, and the cafe strate-
gist makes haste to agree, with the
air of Il told you SOL" The war Will
end much quicked than was thought,
say BOTH the forces are too great 20
be long resisted.
Official information encourages these
hopes, and so the world goes more
readily to the restaurant, where fancy
bread proclaims triumphant civiliza-
ton. But theatres still wait &c. Gus
tom. Around them RACES controversy.
Is it merely to enjoy ones self, or
should one refrain out of derefernce for
the neighbor and for those who fight?
The question is not merely one of PEI
sonal taste, but is related to econo-
mics. If the theatres are closed, how
is the artist to live? But the argu-
ment however specious, lacks general
acceptation.
At charity concert the other day
popular actress was Kissed because she
danced few steps of the tango. 1t
was not in tune with the popular mood.
Indeed, the war has killed the tango,
and prudish Paris rejoices. Congrat-
ulation comes from those who, like
suffer from its virtual
prohibition they profess to find COM

PECENTAGE OF ILLITERATES
SHOWS REMARKABLE DECREASE
SINCE 1901 CENSUS
(By Associated Press.)

ROME, April 20,-Those who are try
ing to reduce illiteracy in Italy report
steady progress. Since 1901 the pro-
portion of those who can neither read
or write, out of every 100 population,
has fallen from Sc to 43. The smallest
proportion Of illiterates by regional di-
vision is found in Piedmont, with 11.90
per cent, and the largest in Colabria
and the Islands, with SO per cent. In
Reggie Calabria province the percent
age runs as high as 7O.6 The male il
literates are in all districts fewer than
those of the other sex. Encouraging as
the progress is, fears are expressed
that the European war will detract
somewhat from this important move

DENMARK PREFERS
TO STAY MUTUAL
PEOPLE OF DENMARK PREFER TO
REMAIN NEUTRAL - HAVE FOR
GOTTEN DREAMS OF 1864

STOCKHOLM, April 20.-The Swed-
ish author Harold Wagner, who has
been travelling through Denmark for
the newspaper Aftonbladet, reports
that all the responsible Danes whom
7 have met impress me seriously with
their belief that the only possible pol
icy for Denmark is strict neutrality"
He explains:
THE people of Denmark have always
been happy and have lived in harmony,
They are energetic and well-educat
with a splendid culture. They no long
er dream of avenging the year 1864
"The most that could happen, they
say to each other, would be to get
Schleswig- Holstein back again. But
taken as a whole, the land conquered
by German in 1864 is now indusput-
ably German. Keil, for instance, is
now a thoroughly German town.

incline towards any of the belligerents.

WEAR SMALL HAT IF

able small hat of the right proportions,

difficulty so many women find is thst
the new small hats are so difficult 20
wear that they are hopelessly unbe-

This, however, is merely a matter of
selection for, although the small hat is
first in popularity, it need not be made
too small to be worn over moderately
