Keep a smil irg. Theodore Roosevelt says big business contributes to a political campaign fund just like they put their cash in the basket at a church service. They may do it witli the same spirit, but Colonel no doubt forgets that tlie money is used for entirely <iilTerent purposes, one to secure votes which is illegal (in Terre Haute at least) and the other to spread the gospel and relieve suffering humanity.

The reporter I is very glad to do so, “if” she does not I lorget too.

COUTO ALMOST jmm Great Victory for Vinol Over a Severe Bronchial C’J: :gh. Vinol Succeeded After Everything Else Failed. Bogalusa, Ala.—“ lam a housekeeper and have three in my family, and I had a terrible cough and pains m my chest forsolongl was discouraged. I coughed almost constantly and would almost lose my breath. My trouble interfered with my work because I was so weak and run-down from continual coughing. I took cod liver oil emulsions and other medicines which did me no good. Finally our druggist told me about Vino). 1 tried it and noticed an improvement almost immediately and its continued use has completely cured me. Vinol is certainly wonderful and I praise it whereter I go.”—Mrs. W. E. Carlisle, Bogalusa, Ala. The reason Vinol is so successful in curing chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis, is because of the healing and tissue building influence of the medicinal principles of cod liver oil, assisted by the tonic and blood making properties of tonic iron, all contained in Vinol. • If Vinol fails to benefit any person in this vicinity who suffers from chronic coughs, colds or bronchitis, or to build up the weak, run-dowm or debilitated, we will pay back their money SMITH, Y-AGER & FALK 0 MALE HELP WANTED—Railway mail clerks, carriers wanter.
