SO1iloquy Of a Turkey.

l know that Thanksgiving days most
here,
And it makes me long to fly,
For I've reached my prime. and It's
mighty clear
That it's time for me to die.
I saw the head Of the house come out.
And he smiled as he gaZed at me.
And he cried aloud that there was no
doubt
What a comfortable meal I'd be.
Oh, I've got TO go, And it gives me a fit,
Though it isn't so much for my life
That | care about, but he can't carve
bit,
And I've got to be hacked by his wife.

Bad Taste
in the Mouth

When you get up in the morn
ing with coated tongue and a
bad taste in the mouth. YOU may
or may not be seriously i'll. but if
there is any disease going, YOU
will catch it.
Even though you "catch " no
definite disease, you are likely to
hc worse before you are better
unless you attend to yourself.
We know what you think first
YOU are half persuaded To try
Nnol, and then You say to your-
self "That'S the same story all
the medicines tell; we've heard it
before" "
But Ninol is not like other
medicines. If it were, we shouldn't
be talking about it.
Nlnol is not secret medicine.
ANY doctor will tell YOU that
cod liver oil (the principal ingredi-
ent in VinoD, has been the rccog-
nizcd standard tonic and body
builder for three hundred years,
and would be to-day except that
the old kind tastes so bad folks
won't and can't take it.
Ninol is made by a remarkable
chemical process which cuts out
the grease and bad taste and
leaves all the medicinal qualities
of cod liver oil intensified.
We will pay back your money
if it doesn't help you.

The Termination of Today.

The great temptation for men today
Is to barter Christ for currency, char

highest need is for prophets to call our
attention to the values that cannot be

good many farmers seem exercised

state. Seldom II ever can an amount
of food be found equal to that which
may be produced in the corn crop with
an equal expenditure of time. effort

bean Is richer. but the quality is more
than offset by the quantity loss as
compared with corn. 1t is readily
planted and is handled throughout the
growing season much as is corn, but is
less easily harvested. 1t may be fed
green as soillng crop or ensilaged
alone or with corn. 1t may be planted in
the row with corn with fair prospect
of success. Indeed, on good soil this is
perhaps as good way to grow 1t as
any. while burial in the silo with the
corn is its fit and appropriate end. But
when all is said 1t Is felt that Vermont
is full far north for soy beans. If
tried at all. they should be grown In

the official notice from \. E. stiIweIl.
president, and John \. Eaton. general at
torney of the Kansas city. Mexico &
Orient Railway company. that they
would accept the franchise granted them
over. along and upon Wichita street
from Bailey avenue north to Lewis street.
The ordinance granting them the right
Of way over this street was approved by
Mayor Mclean on October and was
published officially in the Eagle on Oc-
tober Z. quite a little comment was
made by citizens OF Wichita about the
hardness of the company in accepting
the franchise. 1t was rumored that the
company would not accept it, as they de-
sired the route up fremont street, and
would not accept any other.
When General Manager Dickinson was
her he went over the ground, and. al
though he would express no opinion con-
corning it, it was stated that the COM
Pany was very wei satisfied with the
new route and that the franchise would
be accepted, and such has proved to be
the case.
The company had sixty days after the
publication of the ordinance in which to
accept it or not, and they have yet i've
days in which TO file an acceptance.
This settles beyond doubt the location
of the Orient passenger and freight de-
POTS. Options have been secured on the
right of v-ax, and daDot cites north from
Lewis street TO Douglas avenue, and the
Orient passenger depot will stand on
Douglas avenue and almost directly op-
posite the fine Missouri Pacific depot
The Orient structure will equal in every
way its neighbor across the way and
viii be a credit to the company and the
city. Such the company has announced
it's intention to do.
