FALL COLDS
They Are Dangerous Be-
cause Hard to Cure.
VERY LIKELY TO LAST ALL
WINTER.
We Know Something that Cures All
Pulmonary Troubles.
IT'S OUR GREAT TONIC RECON-
STRUCTOR, vIN0L.

There seems to be an epidemic OF
colds.
1t is strange how many people start
in with cold that they have con-
tracted during the autumn months.
Such colds are dangerous, for unless
cured when the weather is warm it is
very difficult to get rid of them when
really inclement weather appears.
Do not. if you have cold, go through
this winter and let it pull you down. A
racking cough may be the means of un-
dermining your constitution. terminal
ing in consumption, when there will be
no hope for escape.
Cod-Liver Oil has always been the
greatest known specific for consump-
tion. Naturally Cod Liver Oil has been
given for colds which are regarded by
many people as the first stage of this
disease. There is no need of onr tell
ing you the drawbacks of Cod Liver
Oil; the vile, greasy mixture was so re-
pellcnt that not more than one person
in ten could take it. But Cod-Liver
Oil did cure where it could be taken.
Now we have a cod-liver oil prepara-
tion that cures just as surely as did
this vile remedy. We refer to Vinol.
Anybody can take Vinol. 1t tastes de-
| liciouS, and because IT contains the
active curative principles that made
! CodLiver Oil famous as the specific for
consumption and other wasting dis
eases, it will be readily seen how valu-
able it is for all such troubles.
Here is one letter taken from many
that are continually coming to our
notice. Mrs. +. Cogh'an, leg Putnam
Ave, Cambridgeport, Mass, says:
Last September l contracted a
heavy cold which terminated with ton
silitis, and later the grip. All winter
had dreadful cough, and the doctor
advised me to take several things,
among them Cod-Liver Oil. l tried it
for several months without obtaining
relief. At last / heard of Vinol and
gave it trial. Five bottles cured me
and have had no troubles since"
When we talk of VinoI, we
know of what we speak, and will
refund your money If you are not
satisfied. .s..s.sS..

Tunkhannock Dec. 10-The chess
tournament between the Wilkes-Barre
shess club and the Tunkhannock Chess
,lub, which took place at the Packer
mouse last Friday night resulted in a
Rnal victory for the Wyoming county
men. The Wilkes-B Barre club tele-
graphed that they would come with
,welve men, 50 preparations were made
for that number. Fred Osterhout, OF
Factoryville, the champion from the
end OF the county. was notified to be on
hand, and he brought James SmalleY
with him. All the local players were
assembled to be sure that none of the
visitors should be without an oppon-
ent But, unfortunately, the visiting
club could only bring seven of their
players, so the rest of the crowd re-
maned as spectators. The score was
rs follows:

It was suggested that a Tri-county
league be formed taking in the coun-
ties of Lu2ernc, LaCkawanna and Wyo-
ming: that trophy of some sort be
put up as the prize to be held by the
winning club: that a tournament take
place every year. Those Interested in
the movement should get together.
While there is a growing interest in
the game something may be done in
this direction.

nuryea. The little girl, together with
her brother, were picking coal along
the railway track in front Of her
home. Several cars were standing on
the track. and the child, seeing some
coal lying under the cars, went after
it.
An engine shifting cars from the

little one made her efforts to get out
she was caught by the cruel wheels.
Her two legs were terribly crushed
and she was hurricdly taken to- her
