Associated Press.
Washington D. C.. Nov. s.—Trcas-
Ury officials may have to change their
minds after all and order the mints
to click off a few million bright silver i
coins for the Christmas holidays. It;
has been customary to do so for many
years but as the treasury has on hand
about $22000000 in good coins oven
though they are not bright and shiny

Chicago 111. Nov. 5. — Colonel
Roosevelt came to Chicago today re-
mained in the city 35 minutes and de-
parted for the east with his presence
here unknown save to a few persons.
On his way from Des Moines he stud-
ied the train schedules and found that
by stopping at Englewood some miles
from the down town district he could
connect with the Lake Shore train
which is to carry him to Toledo. The
special car was cut off from the Rock
island train when Englewood was
reached at 8 a. m. and Colonel Roose-
velt. unrecognized by the bystanders
hailed a cal* and drove along the
quiet streets for nearly half an hour.
He departed at 8:35 a. m. while
newspaper men and others were
awaiting the Roosevelt train at the
terminal station. Colonel Roosevelt
has two speeches scheduled for to-
day one at Toledo where he is to ar-
rive at 1:40 p. m.. and remain until
2:50 p. m.. and another at Cleve-
land. where he arrives at 5:50 and de-
parts at 8:40 p. m. He probably will
deliver’other talks as the train stops
along the road. He is due in New
fork city tomorrow at 9:45 a. nt.

Girl y Says Prof.
Associated Press.
Ann Arbor. Mich. Nov. 5. —“Deliv-
er me from the woman who comes
t othe university to prepare for a ca-
reer.” said President H. E. Hutchins
of the University of Michigan. ! n his
annual address yesterday to the wo-
men of the university. He urged the
women to select studies that would
better fit them for being a nome-
maker and mother. He stated that
if they had particular ability the
career would seek them out.
LIVING AT HIGH TENSION
To overdo in order to keep up with
the parade is the tendency of the age.
Living at such a high tension is it
any wonder that our nerve sanita-
riums and rest cures are filled with
nervous overworked broken - down
men and women.
When one begins to get into this
condition there is only one cure—a
complete rest together with a whole-
some diet and a good blood-making
tonic and strength creator. There is
nothing in this line that can possibly
excel the medicinal elements of the
cod's liver combined with tonic iron.
This simple combination is found in
Vinol. It contains no oil or grease
and agrees with everyone.
A well known college professor
states that he considers Vinol a truly
wonderful tonic and strength creator.
He was himself overworked and run-
down to a critical point. A friend
asked him to try Vinol. He did so
and is now enjoying perfect health
and its curative powers cannot be too
strongly extolled.
We recommend Vinol to build up
and strengthen the run-down and
over-worked weak women old people
delicate children and convalescents.
In case anyone is not satisfied after
taking one bottle we always refund
their money. This does not happen
often however because Vinol's per-
centage of cures is very high. A. M.

Please respond.
Although Mr. McGregor has hung
out his law shingle in Austin his
principal occupation is farming. He
brings his butter eggs and pigs to
town every day and then looks alter
his law practice incidentally.
It might be mentioned here tnat
he formerly brought eggs to wvu
but no longer. During a short ab-
sence from Idylwilde a thief entered
his hen house and stole 135 fine
chickens. This is the reason chicken is
not on "the list" at the McGregor
barbecue.
Mr. McGregor has written a law
and will have it introduced In .ho
coming legislature making it a fel-
ony for a person to steal a fowl in
the nighttime from premises on which
he does not reside. T his will pro-
tect the negro tenant who must
have a chicken occasionally but will
make chicken thieves scarce.
Those who attend the barbecue at
Idylwilde will be given a delicacy.
An expert in the art of barbecuing
meats will be brought from Houston.
Young steers mutton and kids are
being fattened in the stall and pens
and will be in the best of condition
by Nov. 10.
A bin of 2000 pounds of cracked
ice will be arranged for the “South-
ern Select” or buttermilk according
to choice.
There will be no politics at the af-
fair. no speaking and no favors ask-
ed by the politicians. The barbecue
is intended as an introduction to
Idlywilde and to Mr. McGregor's
farm which is a model one.
