DREAMLAND.

one Of the most novel as well as ar
tistic features of the Pan American
Midway is called "Dreamland. @. and an
idea OF the character OF this concession
may be obtained from the front of the
building, which is n representation OF a
huge pillow upon which rests the head
OF a beautiful woman The pillow is IS
feet long and 80 feet IN height, and the
face OF the woman is 30 feet I'm
length This IS about the size of the
head OF the famous sphinx in Egypt
and were the rest Of the figure shown
the woman TO be in proportion 10 this
face, would be about $50 feet high. or
about twice as high as the tallest oflcs
building In Buffalo.
The face of the woman is finely mold
ed and conveys an impression OF repose
and dreaminess which one would hard
ly look for i'm so massive figure.
Within the building the visitor finds
himself lost in n maze produced by
mirrors He can see apparently a dis
tance of several hundred feet and the
illusion produced by the arrangement
OF the mirrors brings him up against
many startling surprises

A Much Appreciated calendar.

"Isn't it pretty?" is the universal
remark of ladies when they pick up
one of Hoods Sarsaparilla calendars
for 1901. Messrs c. 1. Hood &
Co. are as enterprising as ever,
and, as usual, their household
calendar for the opening year of
the twentieth century portrays the
likeness of a little girl, with flowing
hair, pink cheeks and bright eyes,
which, with the posture of the child,
fully bears out the title of the picture,
Patience" The calendar pad is
larger than usual, and besides the
valuable inform alton given on the
monthly ;sheets, has advertising aud
coupon slips interspersed. The de-
mand for these calenders has necessi-
tated the issuing of a large edition,
which caused the commencing of work
on them early in September; the last
orders not being filed until within a
few days of the new year. Druggists
generally can supply you with these
calendars, or copy can be obtain ed

WHERE TO FIND CHAIRMAN HOP

The new chairman, John P. Hop
kins, of the democratic state central
committee, has declared himself in the
matter of the aims of the party in the
state, and there is no doubling as TO
where he is to be found. or as 10 his
ambition for the future of the great
political organization. Here is Mr..
Hopkins statement: Your chairman
stands for the call of the Kansas City
convention-the call to every demo-
crat in the land to affiliate with the
party and aid in the work of the par
ty. He does not intend to attempt to
make or unmake candidates or frame
politics. Your chairman desires only
to perfect and direct an organization
which will bring victory at the polls
for the democracy. He intends to or
ganize in every precinct in the state.
In this way your chairman expects to
pave the way for making Illinois the
pivotal state in the union Politically,
Illinois is the most important state.
Its democracy should determine the
result of the next presidential cleo
ton. Commercially, Illinois is one of
the most important states, and it
should blend it's commercial with it's

They Are Dangerous Be-
cause Hard to Cure.
VERY LIKELY TO LAST ALL
WINTER.
We Know Something that Cures All
Pulmonary Troubles.
TT IS OUR GREAT TONIC RECON-
STRUCT0R, 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.
Donot, if you have cold, go through
this winter and let it pull you down. A
racking cough may be the means of I'M
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-
ton. 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 our tell
ing you the drawbacks of Cod-Liver
Oil; the vile, greasy mixture was so re-
pellept 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-
ton 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
Cod-Liver 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. E. Coghlan, 122 Putnam
Ave, Cambridgeport, Mass, says:
Last September l contracted
heavy cold which terminated with tom
silitis, and later the grip. All winter
had a 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 Vinol, we
know of what we speak, and will
refund your money if you are not
satisfied.

The war department is considering
the abandonment of the bayonet as q
weapon of war. Most of the soldiers
serving in the field say. it is a
nuisance, and one officer in report
to the department says it became
obsolete when breechloading firearms
were adopted The abolition of the
bayonet would be much greater adj
vance in the line of civilization than
the cutting out of the canteen.

17OO Third Ave. Numerous Re
msrksbIe Cures are Being Re-
nnrfed Daily.

A staff of eminent physicians and
surgeons from the British Medical In
stitute have at the urgent solicitation
of large number of patients under
their treatment in this country, es-
tablished permanent branch of the

These eminent gentlemen have de-
cided to give their services entirely

cepted) to all invalids who call upon
them tor treatment between now and

advice, but also of all minor surgical
operations.

rendered for three months to all who
call before Jan. &c.
The doctors treat all forms of dis
ease and deformities, and guarantee
a cure in every case they undertake.

animation is made, and if incurable,

money for useless treatment.

and catarrhal deafness, cancer, with
out pain or cutting, rupture, all skin
diseases. and all diseases of the rec
tum are positively cured by their new
treatment.

AN advantage of newspaper over
other forms of advertising is that be-

an ice-making machine. He showed
this to wealthy Mexican. who or
dered a machine, and later several
were imported into the district.

HOW TO GAIN FLESH

Persons have been known to
gain a pound a day by taking
an ounce of SCOTS emulsion.
1t is strange, but it often
happens.
Somehow the ounce pro-
duces the pound it seems to
start the digestive machinery
going properly, SO that the
patient is able to digest and
absorb his ordinary food, which
he could not do before, and
that is the way the gain is made.
A certain amount of flesh is
necessary for health; if you
have not got it you can get it
by taking SCOTS Emulsion.
You will find it just as use
full in summer as In winter, and
if you are thriving upon it don't
stop because the weather is
warm.
II you have not tried IL, send for free sample
. It's agreeable taste will surprise you.
