OUR FAITH I'm lit is
UNBOUNDED.

We know OF no remedy that is more universally
successful than Vinol.
Nihol is not by any means a cure ALL We do
not wish any Of our friends to believe for a mo-

We do wish all to know. however that we en-
enthusiastically endorse vinol because we all have
investigated and know everything that it contains
ana we know that the elements contained In yinol
nave the power to do what claim.
Inc main thing to which Vinol owes Its merit
IL the medicinal elements in a highly concen-
trated state that have given to cod liver oil Its
reputation as specific In all wasting diseases.
These same elements have been collected from
tne liver or the cod, and having been freed from
the obnoxious grease, that made cod liver oil so
unpopular, and dissolved in delicious table
wine; this, with the addition Of a slight amount
OF iron, is all Vinol is
In all cases of chronic coughs, bronchitis, severe
colds. general debility. loss OF appetite all de-
ransements Of the stomach etc. we recommend
Vinol. So uncondtionally do we recommend 1t
that we oiier in all instances to refund to any
the money they pay for yinol il they do not

the takers of Sinol:

This Frog Knows a Good Thing.

James Anderson, who lives on the old
Anderson place. two miles below Phoe-
nixville, has huge pet frog.
Three years ago this month the frog
made it's appearance. It was sitting, on
a cold and frosty morning, in front Of the
door of the old Armstrong spring house
when the milkmaid opened the door to
put her pail of milk in the spring, and
as she entered, it hoped in behind her
with an affectionate look.
Goodness" said the maid, ''but you're
a big fellow" And she patted the frog
on the back.
1t was q big fellow. It was Is inches
long With good natured grunt it
hoped out of reach of the milkmaid' s
hand and partially buried itself in a bed
of clay in the springhouse's darkest cor
ner. There, in a stupor, neither eating
nor drinking, it remained until the
spring, when it departed with the coming
of the robin redbreast
Each autumn since then the frog has
appeared at the first sign of frost and
made his winter bed in the springhouse.
This year he came as usual. But b:
was awakened from his sleep the other
day. An experiment was tried upon him.
They lifted him from his warm clay
nest, put him in a wagon, drove him a
mile down the pike and then laid him by
the side of the road.
But before evening he was back again.
The milkmaid found him at sunset seat
ed before the springhouse door, waiting
patiently to be let in.-Philadelphia

ARE YOU GUILTY7
A Little Examination of Conscience Re-
garding Habits.

garding Habits.
1--WE talk about faults and sins and
crimes" said a woman, "but not one OF
them does so much to make home unconl-
Portable and life unlove]y as habits.
Habit is the deepest law Of human ma
ture,' said Carlyle, and character is crys-
tallized habit. No wonder some people
become sucl, disagreeable characters,
when they have such disagreeable habits.
''There is the member Of the family,
for instance. who reads all night, and
gets up in the morning with eyes and
head in a condition that makes cheerful
ness impossible. There is the person
whom you discover, in the midst Of your
conversation, with wandering eyes and
drumming fingers; and who, when you
listening, begins Immediately to talk
about pet theme Of his own.
There is the woman who tells you
long stories about her own children, and
after You have listened patiently for
hours, and began at last to tell one little
story Of your own infant, jumps up I'M
mediately and finds business elsewhere.
There are the insufferable individu-
ais Of both sexes who demand Of girl if
she is engaged to man because they
have seen her with him once. There are
those engaging souls who tell you with
such positiveness that they always do
this and never do that with an air
that conveys subtle impression Of their
superiority.
"There are the people who know more
about your business than you do your
self, and those who want to know more
than they do, and those who never, by
any chance. can talk about anything but
themselves"

Knew His Client.

Assistant District Attorney Osborne

trial one day last week told of a cele-
brated North Carolina lawyer who was
practicing in a backwoods mountain dis

While he was waiting for his case to
be reached the trial of a notorious high
way robber who had been caught red
handed was called. The prisoner had no
counsel, and the presiding judge request
ed the distinguished lawyer to defend
him. The trial lasted two days, and to
the courts establishment the jury re-
turned a verdict of acquittal. AS the
prisoner was about to be discharged, the
lawyer, stepped up to the judge and re-
"What is it?'' asked the court.

lawyer, ito have the prisoner detained in

A Hint to Fathers.

"A German resident of Tacony entered
a. grocer's store the other evening and
bought FIVE pounds of coffee and four
quarts Of dried beans. AS the grocer
was about to tie up these two parcels
the man said: You might just mix
them, please" What?" exclaimed the
coffee together" the German explained.
The grocer accordingly followed out that
odd command, but as he handed over
to his patron the mixture he could
not refrain from asking for the
motive Motive? Oh, not SO much Of a
motive" said the customer. 1.-THE chill
dren at home bother me good deal with

the beans from the, coffee. That will keep
them busy and quiet for while. "-PhiIa-

Some Dead" Books.

"A college president = said d librarian,
..'has suggested that public libraries
ought every year 4. to burn their. dead
books A dead book, he goes on to ex-
plain, is one that has not been asked for
once in five years. Now, my library han
dies fiction in the main, and, maybe, it
is more frivolous than other libraries: but
here, for your amusement, are a few OF
my dead books according to the dein;-
ton Of that term made by the college
president: Tom jones' 'Tristram Shan
Aeneid,' 'Peregrine Pickle Marlowe's
Jew Of Malta 'Faery Queen Pope's
poems, Beckford's 'Vathek,' Swift's
poems and the plays of Beaumont and
Fletcher. These are "a few of several
hundred of our dead books. and If we
should follow the college presidents adj
vice and burn them the loss to the libra
~ would be, fancy, rather perceptible."

For Sleepless. Women.

The woman who cannot sleep is always
a nervous subject. She should religiously
take enough physical exercise each day
to induce healthful fatigue. She should
eat simple, easily digested food, avoiding
tea and coffee later than her breakfast
hour. Many women declare that tea and
I know they are mistaken. Coffee ard
tea are excellent excitants and enemies
of sleep. The insomnia victim may be
lulled to rest by gentle massage
hypnotic stroke will often act as .magi-
cal sleep inducer. Sometimes rub with
hair friction gloves will induce sleep. A
a sedative effect. But a hot bath is
stimulating and should not be taken at
night by nervous ,subjects.-New Y ork
