Senator Henir Cabot Lodge, Republican, of Massachusetts, who at G7 years of age, struck "the first blow of the war," has received hundreds of telegrams l'rom admirers in all sections of the country congratulating him upon Knocking down witli liis fist the paci fist Alexander Bannwart, of Massa chusetts, who attempted to assault him in the Senate corridor. From the crew of the United States ship Vermont at Fort -Monroe, Va., came this characteristic message: "More power t.o your right arm." "Good boy. Lodge," said a telegram, signed "Oyster Bay."

Yet some of the reasons vouch safed by prisoners have a familiar ring to them and might have been ad vanced in almost any American po lice court. Among the explanations for drunk enness given at ' the Metropolitan court in Londan recently were: Seeing friends off on a journey. Taking "just a wee drop" for a cold. Four bottles of stout for neuralgia. | A drink of whisky to forget domes tic troubles, other drinks following to j add to the forgetfulness. A sad letter from a sailor son. Worry over a dog. Excitement over husband's depart ure for the French front. Bad news from relatives in the army.

They Were Years Ago The Patient's Lot Also Much Improved Large Doses of Nauseating Medi cine No Longer Necessary Our forefathers did not have such a \ delightful time, alter all. Just think of , the roundabout way they were obliged j to accomplish the many things that are done by us every day, almost with out thought, by means of modern in vention. Then think of what hap pened to them when they were sick. Lucky was the man who was not pounced upon by a doctor and often literally bled to death. That was only a starter of what was soon to follow. Long, deep draughts brewed from horrible-tasting herbs were continually administered. Reme dies without number each worse than the other, followed quickly. No won der so many of our ancestors died young. No wonder life insurance sta tistics show that we come from a short-lived race. It is in medicine like everything else. The day of barbarism in treat ment is nearly over. No longer does the doctor deprive the patient of his very life's blood right at a time when he needs every particle of strength. No longer does he compel the poor sufferer to absorb untold amounts of barks, herbs and mineral solutions right at a time when Nature'should be left to herself to straighten out what might only be a slight trouble. The modern physician knows that he can administer the vital principles of his remedies in a concentrated form. You do not find your doctor brewing a tea or asking you to chew huge quantities of Cinchona Bark where Quinine is necessary. No long er does he administer a bolus of Op ium to deaden pain. Not much. A hypodermic syringe charged with the ! active principles of opium; morphine does the work better and does not do as much damage for Nature to re pair. Right on this line a discovery was made that proved to be the most valu able one yet made. It was that of Vi- j nol, which is nothing more or less 1 than a concentrated extract of the active medicinal principles found in the liver of the live cod combined with beef peptone, iron and manganese peptonates and glycerophosphates. The above explanation is about all that is necessary to give one, in order that he may understand the full value of this discovery. Every one knows the uses for which cod liver oil has been prescribed. Every one knows its objectionable features. Every one realizes that there are many cases of wasting diseases that could have been cured by the use of cod liver oil, had it been possible to administer the ob noxious remedy; but every one does not know that when they were taking cod liver oil in its old form they were absorbing into the system a vast amount of vile-smelling, obnoxious tasting grease that was absolutely powerless of doing them any good, but were simply taking it because it was a vehicle that conveyed the pecu liar medicinal principles that it was the intention of the doctor to give to them. Here is where this new discovery will benefit the world. These princi ples, separated from the fat and all other unnecessary features, dissolved in a delicious table wine Can now be administered in Vinol even to the most delicate patient without its being ap parent that cod liver oil or anything connected with it is being taken. The greater strength of the new prepara tion will also enable the patient to receive a greater amount of necessary medicine than was possible to admin ister before. The consequence will be that the good for which the medicine is desired will be accomplished in a much quicker time. The harm that was formerly caused to stomachs al ready weakened by disease will be en tirely averted and the result will be that Vinol in but a few years will Pn - j tirely supersede, as a medicine, cod | liver oif in any other known form. At ! the following drug stores in this city they are always glad to give more in- j formation about Vinol: George A Gorgas, Kennedy's Medicine Store I Kitzmiller's Pharmacy, C. F. Kramer' —Advertisement, WEDNESDAY EVENING, Senator William J. Stone, the only member of the Foreign Relations Committee who voted against report ing the war resolution, came this: "Your St. Louis admirers applaud your consistent courage and patriot ism. Sterling E. Edmunds." This was followed by: "Bully for you, Lodge. Try it on Stone of Mis souri, Palmar Cricketts, Troy, N. Y." From Honolulu this message was received: "Mid Pacific congratulations for a man not too proud to fight. Ad vertiser, Editorial Staff." "Virginia is with you. Knock them all down," wired Joseph N. Willis, of Norfolk. "Thataboy," was the brief wire from W. F. Bailey, of Philadelphia. TEUTONS GIVE UP RUSS OFFENSIVE Proposed Drive on Petrograd Believed to Have Been Abandoned By Associated Press Copenhagen, April 4. A "person age particularly well informed politi cally and militarily," who is easily recognizable as Colonel Von Kaeften of the general staff in charge of the military department of the foreign office has informed the Politiken that there is 110 prospect of a German of fensive on the Riga front. The colonel says: "The spring thaw which is setting in is enough in itself to deprive an of fensive of any chance of success. Even if the Germans succeeded in taking the Rusisan positions it will be impossible for them to move artillery and sup plies forward for an advance on Petro grad. They would be hopelessly bogged. May Change Plan "A modern offensive cannot be im provised. Months are needed for prep aration so it is extremely probable that the German leaders will change their original plan owing to the new politi cal situation resulting from the Rus sian revolution. Colonel Von Ilaefteri also doubts whether Field Marshal Von Hinden burg contemplates an offensive on the Sereth front in Rumania, but thinks he will adopt a defensive attitude on the eastern front. Would Quiet Russians 1 lie paper continues: "The state ments of the German general staff, which have certain inherent proba bilities are another example of the German determination to quiet Rus sian apprehension in every possible way. They are issued, as clearly evi dent lrom the tone of the various newspaper comments, with the design of not interfering by outside pressure with the growth of the peace senti ment in.Rusisa and particularly with the spirit of disorganization."
