able women are learning that systemat-

Woman and War,

The federal census, among other
ton of the large centers is increasing
In an alarming ratio. 1t is a matter of
daily comment also that the number Of
young men who are marrying Is con
stantly on the decline. and these facts
are bound to create problem in Amer
lea that already confronts countries Of
older growth.
At present these evils are not appre.
ciated by American women. Recent
legislation has given to them the right
to hold and dispose Of property free
from control, and new fields of work
have been opened which enable them
to avoid to some extent the conse
quences of being left to their own re
sources which are seen in Europe and
Asia. Such results have been achieved
only after long and arduous struggle
and benefit the very women who OPP
posed their development.
Woman cannot rely on the charity Of
men, however. when 1t comes TO ques-
lions of self interest, but If the suffrage
Is ever wrested from men we should
find her one of the ahlest advocates Of
universal peace and better social con
ditions for her ancient antagonist not
only on high theoretical grounds, but
on the cold. practical plane that war
and oppression deprive her of natural

The sLies are black. the winds are bold.
The road Is rough and long.
But what are clouds and stony ways
When hearts are full Of songY
And two there be who walk ife's path
Unheeding wind or weather,
And minding but your merry sprite
Who binds their hearts together.
All ways are smooth. all days are bright
With him for guide and sun,
And three are always company,
II Love be one!
The road is smooth, the wind is soft.
The sky is clear o'erhead,
But what are pleasant ways and days
To those whose hearts are dead;
And what is song that fills the ears,
But can no farther go;
And what is light that eyes can s,e,
But souls can never know
All, two there be that walk life's path
As though they walked alone,
For two are never company

DO SO.
WE KNOW OF NO TONIC OR RE.
BUILDER LIKE 1T.
vinol does crea % strength.

Nln0l does crc9 Go strength.
We know that and have proved 1t In
many instances.
The reason Vinol rejuveuates and
strengthens a person is that it acts
directly upon the stomach, strengthen
ing and toning up this great vital organ
and enabling it to obtain for itself,
from the food that is taken into it, the
elements which are required to make
firm healthy flesh and muscle tissue,
sound bone structure and pure healthy
blood.
Vinol does this in a scientific way
and is enabled to do it because it con-
tains, dissolved in delicate mild wine,
in highly concentrated state, the act
i've principles of cod-liver oil.
Vinol does not contain any of the
grease that formerly characterized cod
liver oil, hence is free from all the OBJ
jectionable features which made it i'm
possible for patients to take or retain
that vile-smelling remedy into their
stomach.
Vinol in it's favorable action upon
the stomach and other organs of the
body acts also in beneficial way upon
the nerves and brain, and will be
found to be invaluable to brain workers
as well as body workers.
The following letter is from we'll
known authoress 1t reads as follows:
81 wish to acknowledge the receipt
of the Vinol and testify to it's great
benefits. Since taking it l am much
improved in health, and during the in
tense heat of last August should not
have been able to continue in my liter
airy work if it had not been for the
strengthening properties of Vinol.
Yours in gratitude. ELLA STARR, 100
W. SGD St, N. Y. City.
We wish any one sufferingfrom
weakness, a demoraliZed CON-
ditiOn of the nerves, or suscep-
tibility to wasting diseases, to
call on us and hear what we have
to say in regard to Vinol.
Try it on our recommendation
and If you find it does not do
everything we claim for 1t, we
will gladly refund to you the
amount you have paid us.
