FEEBLE OLD LADI
Has Strength Restored By
Vinol
Mrs. Michael Bloom of Lewistown,
Pa., who is 80 years of age, says: "For
a long time I have been so feeble that
I have had to be wheeled around in
an invalid’s chair. I had no strength
and took cold at the slightest provoca-
tion, which invariably settled on my
lungs, and a cough would result. My
son learned of the cod liver prep-
aration called Vino!, and procured a
bottle for me. It built up my strength
rapidly, and after taking three bottles
I am able to do most of my work, and
I can walk a quarter of a mile easily.
Every aged or weak person who re-
quires strength should try Vinol. I am
delighted with what it has done for
double responsibility attached to the
position, in the latter the people are
behind him.
It 1s not the province nor the Inclina-
tion of The Statesman to dictate to or
criticise the new commission. On the
contrary it Is lined up with the prop-
osition that they should be the dic-
tators of their own future. In calling
attention to the right of local selr-
government and the rights of petition
therefor it is only necessary to add
that if the charges precipitated by
rumor a* to outside dictation are not
true or are based upon indirect and
unathorized reports then both the com-
mission and those interested owe It
to themselves and-the people to not
only deny the game but prove by their
future action that Austin is capable of
managing its own affairs.
It is only among friends that mat-
ters of moment can be diecussed with-
out hard feelings and It is for this
reason that The Statesman at the very
outset places its column* at the dis-
posal of both appointee and appolnters
for a full and free consideration of any
matter that Is. of public interest such
as present* Itself in the present in-
stance.

According to J. F. Saughenessy, a
member of the railroad commission of
Nevada, Texas has one of the most ef-
ticed by most consumer* and would
but slightly affect any. This course
would «o distribute the cost of the' re-
adjustment that has been made abso-
lutely necessary by the great change
in the value of money as to lay no
Revere burden upon any individual or
any industry. The alternative is too
painful for other than enforced con-
sideration. An increase of 8 or 4 per
cent in average rate* would distribute
a gain of about $60,000,000 over 230,-
000,000,000 ton-miles of freight trans,

a reduction in wages would throw the
whole burden upon about 1,500,000 of

Iaughlin, selected for city marshal,
The Statesman does not call that in
question. Mr. Laughlin naturally has
hl* friends and his opponents. That
is neither here nor there. The ques-
tion at issue is, why was it necessary
for a commission elected by the people
to be their representatives. in their very
first act, to disregard their very first
petitions for the right of local govern-
ment dictation?
Mr. Laughlin, at present a state
ranger, is, according to all reports, an
excellent officer. Information Is to the
effect that he has been warmly en-
dorsed for the position by both Gov-
ernor Campbell and Captain Brooks of
the stat© ranger service, and the city

sidered these endorsements as well

Pains
; “My mother is a great suf-
ferer from rheumatism, and Dr.
Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills is the only
remedy that relieves her.”
MRS. G. DAVENPORT,
Roycefield, N. J.
The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri-
tation which prevents sleep be-
cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu-
able. When taken as directed,
.they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence of
pain, which so frequently pros-
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create a habit.
Why not try them? Get a pack-
age from your druggist. Take.it
according to directions, and if
it does not benefit he will return
your money.

"From what I have een of the bill,”
said Mr. 'Love. "I think It provides a

THE LUMBER RATES.
The popular fallacy that lumber will
bo made cheaper to the consumer if
the present rate of duty I. lowered
was exposed by Edward Hine, of Chi-
cago. In hl. statement to the finance
committee of the senate in connection
with the lumber schedule ot the’tarin
bill Mr. Hine, called attention to the
fact that the mont inststent demand
for a reduction In the lumber duty
somes from the great agricultural
etale? of the middle west, which would
not get a .tick of Canadian timber
cheaper than they do now if the duty
★ere removed. The roason ho ex-
plained. la that It would be practically
impossible to put lumber through the
great lakca into the wholesale markets
of Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit and Chi-
cago. rehandle it. add the wholeealers
profit then reship it by rail to a terri-
tory more than one hundred miles from
these contera, and «clt It in competition
with the yellow pine from tHe southern
etale?.
Mr. Hine, contended that the Cana-
dian lumberman would not be dt.
posed to yield anything to the Amer-
ican qonsumer by reasoh of the ad-
vantage he would gain in a reduction

to record that the initial movement of

posed, an outalder.sas city marshal of
