A GREAT IMPROVEMENT.
Natures Ways Often Hard
to Understand.
Mans Best Gifts Disguised by
DiSagreeable Exterior.
1t Takes Science to Reveal Nature at
Her Best.

In ma y ways Nature is all right Just
as she Is, ana when the hand of man
attempts to improve upon her works,
a boscby Job, to say the,leasf, often re-
results.
There are however, a great many il.
stances where by little human help
Natures best gifts are doubly enhanced
in value aud brought forth from OBJ
security in manner that Is causing
this century to be known as one of pro-
gress.
There is nothing IN the way of dis
covery that will prove of greater bene-
fit to man in the general, and to the in
habitants of this part of America in
particular, than VInol, which repre-
sents an old and valuable remedy in
troduced in new and practical form.
Vinol is being hailed by physicians
and patients alikeias glorious lnterven
tion of Providence for anulhllating GER
tain diseases of a wasting nature and
prolonging life, and it's discovery is a
fitting climax, coming as it does at the
end of a century that wIll'go down into
history as remarkable for its advance
ment
Vinol, as 1t is sold today, is fast be-
coming what all other great Inventions
soon become, a positive necessity that
makes the world wonder how it ever
existed without it.
Cod liver oil, on account of the peeu-
liar medical properties which IL con-
tains, has been known to science for
years as the most efficient of oil speci-
tics for throat lung and bronchial
troubles, and all wasting diseases.
The laymen, however, has appreciated
the fact as forcibly as the professional,
chat this same remedy was often rem
dered practically useless on account of
its disagreeable o1or and taste, until it
began to appear as though cod liver oil
might eventually be omitted from the
Pharmacopoeia
The invention of Vinol has saved this
wonderful medicine, not as we have
known it, to be sure, but in its new
form, which is nothing more or less
than the Identical, potent, remedial
factors that have made the Gods liver
famous. This new discovery consists
only IN finding way of extracting the
curative principles of the cod liver,
which once obtained are dissolved in a
mild, delicious and delicate table wine.
And so to us is given this old remedy
in it's new form, doubly efficient, ab-
solutely tasteless, and denuded of its
greatest and most serious objection,
the fatty matter itself. which has
always precluded the use of cod liver
al -, ooeas vrboro tho 5iUacfiva apDoT-

CITY ELECTION ON WEDNESDAY.
Small Percentage of Voters are Res

Wednesday.

When the city registration books
close tonight but small percentage of
the voters of Americas Will be regis
tered and qualified to vote for mayor,
aldermen, city clerk and police COM
missioners in the city election next
Wednesday.
But the fault will be that of the vo-

The Times Recorder has sounded
warnings daily for two weeks past,
urging upon voters the Importance of
registering. And not few needed
the warning.
Perhaps 100 or 175 voters out of to-
tai of 1, 200 have registered, and this
limited number only will control all
city elections during the next twelve
months. The books will be closed to-
night and hundreds will not register.
Already ffas have been issued
against these deIipquents.
You didn't know that, did You? or
was it matter OF such small impor-
lance, just so cents, that you didn't
worry about it?
Next Wednesday the qualified voters
will elect the nominees of the recent
primary for mayor, aldermen and
clerk, and, In all probability, board
of police commissioners. 1t is going
to be an election of very considerable
importance.
Are you gong to be voter, or just a

UNFRIENDLY COMMENT.
There Are Many Reasons why Peo-
pie should Refrain from CritI-
cising Absent AcauaIntances.

In conversation, unfriendly com
ments regarding the absent should
always be avoided. In social life it
Is well TO shun ill-natured gossip.
Make il a rule, and let il be strictly
observed, not to say anything about
the faults of another unless there is
absolute necessity for you to do SO.
This necessity may arse, and your
own judgment can guide you about
the matter. 1t is always rash TO talk
OF the faults or evil doings of others.
Why, indeed, should you do so? You
know yourself that you have faults,
few or many, and that there are
many things you may have done
which you prefer should not be dis
cussed. Well, then, exercise the same
charity TO others that you would
have extended TO yourself.
Another thing TO bear in mind is
that, if you talk Of what is to the dis
advantage Of another, what you say
will doubtless be repeated. OF course,
you may preface your remarks by:
This is quite between ourselves"
Pray do not repeat it," etc. But why
should you imagine that the person
20 whom you are talking will be ST.
lent about that which you promised
20 keep to yourself? She may forget
her promise, or may not consider it
very binding.
Then, too, when things are repeat
ed they never lose in the telling.
Something is taken from, or added
20, the original story. and if repeated
several times, it loses very often
most Of it, original character. The
most terrible mischief is caused by
Cos sips of this kind. Friends are sep
erated. relations are estranged, quar-
rels are fomented, and bad blood" is
aroused. simply because something
said. perhaps thoughtlessly, on the
impulse Of the moment, is repeated.

in cases where consultation was I'M
necessary. The daughter of the fam
lily opined that he had experienced
religion; the son declared that he
had received ghostly warning as TO
his immediate demise, but the mys-
terry remained impenetrable until one
evening when Nelson asked permits
sion to go home earlier than usual,
saying that his wife wanted him.
"Why, Nelson, / didn't know you
had a wife"
"Oh, yessum. l gotter wife, but

The effect of Maria upon her liege
was most pronounced as time went

away orders and conducted his de-

the cook began to impose upon him
and the mistress Of the mansion even
ventured to scold him. His polite
ness deepened and willingness to re-
main after hours, if only he had the
authority of the head of the family
for doing so, became one of his most
pronounced characteristics. In fact,
Nelson was now a jewel without a
flaw.
But all this was quite too good to
last, and one day the mistress of
the mansion was sadly surprised to
find Nelson once more setting aside
her orders with calm faith in his
own superior Judgment. why, Mel.
