POOR BLOOD CAUSES ERUP.
TIONS AND WEAKNESS.
vinol Makes Pure, Rich,
Red Blood.
BECAUSE We KNOWN THIS
We GUARANTEE ITS ACTION.

Impoverished blood is sure sign Of
internal disorders. We see every day
too many people whose faces plainly
show that there is something radically
wrong.
We want all Of our fellow-citizens to
know of our splendid blood purifier
and blood maker.
We refer to Vinol.
Vinol, as we have before stated, is 4
purely scientific preparation.
Vinol owes its virtue to the fact that
it contains in highly concentrated
state the active curative principles,
taken from the livers of live cods-the
same elements that formerly We're
found in cod-liver oil, and which made
it famous.
Ninol does not contain the grease or
fat that characterized cod-liver oil and
made 1T in many cases worthless.
Ninol acts upon every one of the
great vital organs. and by invigorat-
ing and giving them strength, enables
them to properly perform their func-
tioHS.
Ninol's effect on the stomach is mar
velous. 1t tones up this, the greatest
of the organs of the body. and enables
taken into it the necessary elements to
create flesh and muscle tissue. bone
structure and pure, rich, red blood.
We are in receipt of letter from a
Savation Army woman which reads as
follows:
Il took Vinol after bad attack of
grippe, and SO much good did it do me
that | persuaded my sister to take it.
She was all tired out. Had no appe-
tite and her blood was very poor. 1t
did her as much good as it did me-
BETSY HABERsHAw, 71S River ST., Fall
River. Mass.
Won't you please come in and
see US? We are always glad to
extol the merits of Vinol.
We will give you back your
money if you don't find Vinol
will do all we claim it will. Could
any one do more for you?

Pure Water a Poison.

By Chemically pure water we
usually understand perfectly fresh. dis
titled water. Distilled water is a danger
Gus protoplasmic poison. The same
poisonous effects must occar whenever
distilled water is drunk. The sense of
taste is the first to protest against the
use of this substance. A mouthful of
distilled water, taken by inadvertence,
will be spit out regularly. The local
poisonous effect of distilled water makes
itself known by all the symptoms Of a
catarrh of the stomach on small scale
The harmfulness of the process, so much
resorted to today. of washing out the
stomach with distilled water is ac-
knowledged. -National Druggist.

Garland Would Have Swallowed It If
A., 1T Had Killed Him.
The late Augustus II. Garland, who
was attorney general under President
Cleveland, was very fond Of practical
jokes and during his term of service in
the senate frequently turned the laugh
on his colleagues Senators Voorhees,
and Vest, with whom he was very
friendly, finally determined to turn the
tables. Mr.. Garland had habit like
VOORHEES,, of munching candy, and Vest
and Voorhees, made it up between them
to take advantage of his fondness for
sweets to play their trick. They had
some tempting looking chocolate cara
mels prepared, with the interior filled
with brown soap. These they took to
the senate chamber and Voorhees, placed
them on his desk. The lid being off
when Mr.. Garland sauntered down the
aisle he noticed them at once.
s.''What have you there. Dan?'' he in
quired. .. .:... ... -, g..
Voorhees, looked up carelessly from
his writing and responded: sCaramels

Garland needed no second invitation
and, picking up two or three. placed
one in his mouth. Steadily he chewed
away, his face betraying no sign of the
conflict within him. This alarmed
Voorhees,, who went to Vests desk and
said: .-.. 49,
"He's eating them, Vesti What shall
we do? The stuff will kill him surel"
Senator Vest replied that it could do
no more than make him sick Garland
swallowed the stuff, although he was
foaming at the mouth from the soap
suds. He related the incident afterward
with great gusto and said he would
have swallowed it if it had killed him.

In the Tap Root of an Oak.


I remember curious incident con-
nected with the tap root Of an oak.
This oak, a good tree of perhaps 200
years growth, was being felled at
Brakeman wood when the woodmen
called attention to something peculiar
on the tap root On clearing this of soil
we found that the object was horse
shoe of ancient make. Obviously in
the beginning an acorn must have fall
en- into the hollow of this cast shoe, and
as it grew through the slow genera
tions the root filed up the circle. car

process of it's increase till at length we
found wood and iron thus strangely
welded. That tap root with the shoe
about it is now or used to be a paper

will be held ein Ihei NJ E.. church, Rev.
Cleland of the Presbyterian church to

O. clock Sunday night. Extra chairs have
been secured to accommodate the con-
gregations. These edifices are in the most
central part of the city, and II either of
these churches should prove too small it
is learned that the Margaret theater can
be obtained for some meetings toward the
close The motley $t1 Ea,e paid out for in

ing in expenses could be applied on Mr..
Crittenton's rescue work. 1t has been
learned by some 5of the ministers who
have gone 10 Butte that the work Mr..
Crittenton has done there is most gra-
cious and beneficial. The committee on
halls was disappointed in the city here,
and as nothing near enough the central
part of the city is available, giving equal
opportunities to all members, friends and
Interested ones and these Two churches,
the PRESBYTERIAN and Methodist, are CEN
trail, with the theater for a reserve for
Sunday night al least. the committee
acted wisely in doing what it did. 1t is
expected that the largest congregation
will be the second Sunday night, when
the Margaret can be obtained. Great
harmony prevails among the ministers
relative to the good work done by Mr.
,Crittenton and the necessity of such work
here in Anaconda as it is elevating, re-
filming. on the side of the highest culture
and Christianity as found in our civiliza-
ton.
