dicates Trouble.
Watery Blood a Menace
to Health.
WE KNOW HOW PALE
PEOPLE CAN GET RICH
RED BLOOD.
COME AND LET US TELL YOU
ABOUT VINOL.

When blood is watery and thin, or,
as doctors would say, lacks red blood
corpuscles, it is sign that much is rad
ically wrong.
We would advise everyone who has
such symptoms to start at once to
take proper remedy to overcome this
trouble.
That remedy is Vinol, the greatest
and most modern tonic and rebuilder.
Vinol owes its virtue to the fact that
it contains in a highly concentrated
state the active curative principles ex-
tracted from Gods livers, the same ele-
ments that have made cod-liver oil
famous for wasting diseases.
These medicinal elements are dis
solved in delicious table wine so that
Vinol is most palatable.
None of the vile-smelling obnoxious
grease that characterizes cod-liver oil
and frequently makes it an impossible
remedy for those who should take it,
is found in Vinol.
We could relate many instances
where Vinol has done good and re-
cheeks of the sufferer.
The following is fair sample of the
way people write in regard to Vinol:
For several months suffered lassi-
tude and tired all the time. Also a
sinking feeling in my stomach, which
nothing would relieve, and was pale
and weak. As an experiment I tried
Vinol and if wrote pages could not
tell all it has done for me. Mrs A.
K. LA PRUscH, Amesbury, Mass.
Because we know VinOl so we'll,
and because we know so surely
what it will do, and how it will
accomplish the good it does in a
scientific way, we unreservedly en-
d0rse and recommend 1t, and in
every instance guarantee to refund
to any one what they pay us for
VinOl If they do not find it entirely
satisfactory.

In the main Corsica. where it has no
French officials to leaven it's politics, is
still Corsican rather than French. and
in the mountains the old spirit of indie
pendence is far from dead. For these
and other obvious reasons France is
bound to keep active garrisons in the
island. though she would do better by
much with the more acceptable chains
of a maternal administration. More
railways. drained marshes, increased
education and daily steamboat serv-
ice would bind the island to the CONT
nent in self interest and gratitude. AS
it is it is scarcely too much to say that
Corsica is only kept from open revolt
by the element of prosperity brought
to her by the tourists of winter

In advice about soupmaking you will
frequently be reminded that the scum
which rises to the surface when pre-
pairing the stock should be removed.
There is no reason in thus removing
what is in reality meat juice coagulat-
ed by the heat. If you allow it to re-
main until the boiling point is reached,
it will disappear in the stock and in
crease its value. When preparing
chicken stock. put the fowl. disjointed.
in cold water sufficient to cover it and
let it slowly heat to boiling point. Re-
serve the breast. however and when
the water is boiling place it on the top
of the other pieces. where it will steam
without being under water. Cover the
kettle closely and let it simmer for at
least four hours. The breast will then
be in a good condition to use in salads
or in any dish requiring chicken meat,
while the stock is ready for use.

Has rest awhile from the long stress Of fasns
Dripping and bowed, the green walls Of the lana
Reflect no glistening light; no colors say
Has dying summer left; the sky is gray,
A though the weeping had not eased the pain;
The autumn Is not yet, and all in vain
Seems summers Hfe-a blossom east awayl
The air is hushed, save in the emerald shade
The rain still drops and stirs each fretting Leaf
To soft insistence Of its little grief;
The hopeless calm all thought OF life denies;
But, bark, and now through silence. unafraid,

Horse PhremOlOgy.

Horse phrenology is the latest dis
covery of the Royal College of Veteri-
nary Surgeons of England. According
to Harold Leeney. a member of the
college, 1t Is easy to tell a horses char
acter by the shape of his nose. If there
Is gentle curve to the profile and at
the same time the ears are pointed and
sensitive, it Is safe to bank on the ami
NAL as gentle and at the same time
high spirited. If, on the other hand,
the horse has dent in the middle Of
his nose, it is equally safe to set him
down as treacherous and vicious. The
Roman nosed horse is sure to be good
animal for hard work and safe to drive,
but he Is apt to be slow. A horse with
a slight concavity in the profile will
be scary and need coaxing. A horse
that droops his ears is apt to be lazy
as well as vicious
