AIMED AT ORIENTALS. Califorrid Legislature Would Limit Tneir Holdings of Realty. Sacr;: mento, California, Match 2. The lower house of the State Legis.a ture today passed a measures known as the anti-alien property holding bill, j It is aimed at the Japanese and the ; Chinese property owners, and is j cd to prevent them from acquiring and owing property for than fivC | years. , . ; Assemblyman Drew stated that sinec , January 1, one-third of the propeity | transfers in 'Frisco had boon to Jap- anese. The bill provides that any | alien who do r. not become a citizen of the United States shall not hold \ title to lands in this state for more i than five years. If within that time ' the alien does not become a citizen. ; the district attorney shall compel the! sale of his lauds or houses. 1 Japanese and Chinese are not speci fically named, but as they cannot be-. come citizens the bill precludes them from owning property for more than five years.

The impression is given out that if the bill reaches the governor he will sign it. Mainly Causer! s;' Chronic Coldc ar.d Hanking-cn Coughs. A promier.t New England scientist has biven a good deal cf time to the study of consumption, and finds that comparatively few cases are heredita ry. Mostly all are caused by neglected coughs and cclds, which gradually weaken the pulmonary system, and before people realize it there is a dis eased spot in one spitting blood scon follows and eventually a collapse. Such an unnecessary end, such a pity, for all could have been sq dif ferent. We knew of many instances where our valuable cod liver prepara tion, Vinci, has been most beneficial in such cases. Vinol is able to cure colds, stubborn coughs, strengthen the lungs, and thus prevent the develop ment of consumption, because it is the most perfect cod liver preparation ever compounded; it contains no oil or grease to upset the delicate stomach, yet it dees contain every one of the fifty odd medicinal curative elements actually taken from fresh cods' livers, with tonic iron added. We ask all Hickory people to try Vinol for weak lungs, chronic coughs, hanging-on colds, or run-down and debilitated con ditions. and will pay for the medicine ourselves if it fails to benefit. How can we express faitli in Vinol more emphatically? E. B. Menzies, Druggist. Note —While we are sole agents for Vinol in Hickory, it is now for sale at the leading drug store in nearly every town and city in the country. Look for the Vinol agency in your town. murder.

THE SOURCE OF ALL DISEASE Every part of the body is dependent on the blood for nourishment and strength. When this life stream is flowing through the system in a state c! purity and richness we are assured of perfect and uninterrupted health; because pure blood is nature's safe-guard against disease. When, however, the body is fed on weak, impure or polluted blood, the system is deprived of its strength, disease germs collect, and the trouble is manifested in various ways. Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the different skin affections show that the blood is in a feverish and diseased condition as a result of too much acid or the presence of some irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, and Rheumatism, Ca tarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, etc., are all deep-seated blood disorders thru will continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains. These lmpunaes and poisons find their way into the blood in various wavs. O.ten a sluggish, inactive condition of the system, and torpid state of the avenues of bodily waste, leaves the refuse and waste matters to sour and form uric and other acids, which are taken up by the blood and distributed roughout Lie circulation. Coming in contact with contagious diseases is another cause for the poisoning of the blood ; we also breathe the germs and mi £ ro . s Malaria into our lungs, and when these get into the blood in suflicient quantity it becomes a carrier of disease instead of health. Some are so unfortunate as to inherit bad blood, perhaps the dregs of some old constitutional disease of ancestors is handed down to them and they nre constantly annoyed and troubled with it. Bad blood is the source of all dis ea?f, a until this vital fluid is cleansed and puriGed the body is sure to suiter in some way. For blood troubles of any character S. S. S. is the best remedy ever discovered.
