We Can Tell You How to
Overcome PaIeness and

The question Is often asked why It
Is that women OF this generation suf-
fer as they do. Perhaps they are pay
Ing the penalty OF indiscretions COM
| mttted by their ancestors. Undoubt-
! eddy such Is the case. for there has
never been an age when so much care
has been exercised by women in gen.
eral In regard to Hygiene and the
care OF themselves.
There is one thing that we do know,
and that is most women need more
strength and more rosy cheeks. They
need to be built up. made physically
strong. given good appetite. and
especially see that their blood Is
made pure and red.
Nothing will do all this for women
as well or as quickly as Vinol. II

--ppeF- the Latest pisasteF--A

London. Nov. 2.-The cheers that
greeted the duke and duchess of Corn
wall and York Saturday rs they
passed on their return from their
world tour through the crowded
streets of London, were intermingled
with the shrill cries of the newsboys
shouting: Terrible disaster in South
Africa" Beneath the jubilation on
the safe arrival of the heir apparent
there existed keen undercGrrent of
grief and anger over the defeat of
Col. Benson's column. OF the thou
sands who lined the route from Veto
ria station to Marlborough house many
were personally concerned in the 236
British casualties incurred in this
latest reversal and while the duke
and duchess were welcomed back with
great heartiness, the crowds could not
shut their eyes to the mocking con-
trast between the pageant and the Sc
rious news of the morning.

DEWEY SEES THE PRESIDENT,


Washington, Nov. admiral Dew
ey called upon President Roosevelt
Saturday, but did not discuss with him
the Schley court of inquiry except to
tell the president that the public ses-
sions of the court would be conclud-
ed in Il few days. "When we begin
to sift the testimony" said the ad-
miral. "our real work will begin.
told Secretary Long when he asked
me to become president of the court
that | would rather go through an
other battle in Manila bay. The hard
est part of this work will be wading
through the mass of testimony and
reaching our conclusions" Admiral
Dewey said that the court PROBABLY
would take up each charge in the pre-
cept, review the testimony and then
give the facts as they found them and
give such an opinion as they called
for. He did not know that this would
be done as he had not discussed the
case with his associates. but it had
occurred to him that this would be q
good plan. He felt, he said. that the
American people would want the
courts reasons in detail and were en-.
titled to know them.

there is no such India chief as "Prince

of Benson's column about twenty
miles northeast of Bethel, near Bra
