Everything about Cottolene is clean and pure from its origin to its comple
tion. Warmed into life by the sun on Southern Cotton Fields, nurtured by
rain and dew, the Cotton plant finally concentrates in its seed that life
giving and life-sustaining quality which is the basis of Cottolene. Cottolene
makes food nutritious, delicious and healthful. Then think of people using
hog fat when they can get Cottolene?

OK OPTION FIGHT OPENS III INDIANA
Indianapolis. Sept. IS. Hoosier
lawmakers gathered in the capital to
day, at the call of Governor H.inley,
to begin what will probably be the
most Important special session of
the legislature ever held In Indiana.
Although other vital matters are up
for consideration, the fight for and
against enacting; a county local option
law will likely be the feature of the
session. Governor Ilanly is a pro
nounced temperance advocate and his
highest ambition Is to place Indiana In
the ranks of the "dry" states. Under
the Moore remonstrance law, a large
part of the state Is already free of sa
loons. A county local option law,
such as rroposed by Governor Hanly,
would likely drive the liquor dealers
from all but a few large cities, and
would serve as an entering wedge for
state-wide prohibition.
That the governor's attempt to
force the local option measure may
have grave results on the national
election Is admitted. Many politicians
believe that the acceptance or rejec
tion by the legislature of a county lo
cal option bill is likely to change the
entire political complexion of the
campaign now In progress. The
brewers and liquor dealers realize the
gravity of the situation and will do
their utmost to rrevent the passage
of the local option act.
If the specirtl session is harmonious
it will likely aid the republicans in
carrying the state. If a factional fight
results, the democrats will have their
opportunity, and will not hesitate to
take advantage of it. The republi
cans will make the lornl option bill
a party measure and se-k to whip
Into line enough votes to make it a
law, but doubt exists as to the ability
Of the party leaders to control the as
sembly. The house, of course, will be
the scene of the struggle if there Is
one. The republicans have 53 mem
bers to 47 democrats. This Is a safe
margin if caucus action can be taken.
But it Is recalled that some five or
six republicans refused at the regular
sosssion to go Into any temperance
caucus and it is feared that these may
cause trouble.
The republicans will depend upon
temperance democrats to make up for
the members of their own party that
they cannot control. Several demo
crats voted with the republicans two
years ago for high license. These may
play politics, however, this season and
withhold support, in which event
county local option will be afar off.
Under the workings of the Moore
remonstrance net, at the present time
there are In all 764 "dry" townships
In the state nut of 1015. There are
21 counties In the stnte which have
saloons in only one place; 18 with sa
loons in only two places, and 13 more
In which the majority of the popula
tion live in "dry" territory.
An understanding of the Moore re
monstrance law may throw some light
upon the remarkable advance of pro
hibition in Indiana. Under It, the ma
Jorlly of vot-rs in any township or In
any city ward, hy remonstrating In
writing .nr;iin?t the granting of li
censes are enabled to close the sa
loons in that township for two years.
Jernoiistrance campaigns take
place r'-gularly. It may be begun any
day, and two days liter the saloons
of the dist tii t are closed. Two 'dry"
years are apt to make th;it particular
township undesirable to the saloon
keeper, who moves, never to return.
If the plans of the anti-saloon
workers are carried out, the passage
Of a county local option measure will
be but a step toward the submission
of a constitutional amendment pro
viding state-wide prohibition In 1911.
A vote on this question, the "drys"
believe, would result In banishing
liquor from Indiana forever.
A the situation Is now, Indiana has
13 counties which are wholly without
the saloon. The passage of a local
option law, the anti-saloon workers
believe, will mean at least 80 "dry"
counties out of the 92 within two
years. The constitutional amendment
they rely upon to settle the matter
for all time. I
Another matter, and the chief ob- '
ject of the special session, will be that
of extending the appropriation act of
the last general assembly so as to pre- 1
vent unexpended balances of specific
appropriations from reverting at the
end of the fiscal year, September 30, j
to the general fund. As the law now t
stands, these unexpended balances !
would revert and consequently hin
der the work of constructing several
new Institutions,
Another consideration will have to
do with providing protection against
the nleht riders of southern Indiana.
There have been no recent depreda
tions, but the tobacco crop Is not yet
harvested, so raids are expected. The
experience of Kentucky and Ohio has
demonstrated that a state militia is
unable to cope with masked maraud
ers who ride and burn and murder at
unexpected hours In unexpected
places, so it is thought desirable that
the governor be given wide powers to
deal with any situation that may develop.

IX MARATHON RACE
New York. Sept. 18. With the
first Important game, that between
the Carlisle Indians and AlbrleM col
lege, scheduled for tomorrow the 1908
football season In the east will be
formally opened. According to re
ports, the redskin eleven Is this year
unusually strong and will likely mak.s
a good showing.
Not until a week from tomorrow,
September 26, will any of the other
big college elevens be seen on tne
erldiron. On that date. Pennsylvania
will play Its first game of the season
at Philadelphia, with West Virginia
as Its opponent. Brown will play
New Hampshire and Syracuse will
meet Hamilton.
Wednesday, September 30, will be
the big football inaugural day. Yale
will get Into the game by playing
Wesleyan at New Haven. Harvard will
have Its initial game nt Cambridge,
with Bowdoln, and Dartmouth will
play Vermont at Hanover.
Princeton, Cornell, West Point nd
Annapolis will play their first games
on Saturday. October 3. and from that
date until November 28, when the
season ends with the annual struggle
between the elevens of the army and
navy academies, every Saturday and
Wednesday will be marked- by im
portant contests between the football
gladiators.
From present appearances, Yale
has the best chances of carrying off
the premier football honors of the
country. Harvard looks weak, and
neither Princeton, Cornell, West
Point, Annapolis or Pennsylvania can
produce elevens that, according to
the dope of the wise ones, will be able
to take the measure of the strong
team of Old Ell.
Chicago, Sept. IS. A twenty-five
mile Marathon race, which the man
agement declares will be the greatest
ever held In the United States, will
be held here tomorrow. John J.
Hayes, who won the Olympic Mara
thon In London, is expected to be one
of the runners, and nearly a hundred
others will take part In the grueling
grind. Handsome trophies will be
presented to the winners and to all
those who finish the 25 mile course.
