CONvALESCENCE
The Remedy That We
Reco IN IN end To Be
Taken After Sickness
Is Vinol, 1t Pro-
notes Strength and
Quick Recovery.

The worst part of being sick is the
getting we'll. That is the time when
patience is virtue.
The sufferer cannot see from day Co day
that any strength is gained. The appe--
tite is ftful; the hours drag YEARLY and
it seems that Nature would never be able
to resume her natural course.
Nature finds hard work after the repair
ing process she has been going through
to do much more without aid. She cries
out for help. We know at such times
Vino is of great assistance.
We have posted ourselves concerning
the scientific action that takes place when
Vinol is taken into the system. We would
be very glad to tell you what we have
learned in this direction and how Vinol
acts upon the body. We have in our
experience had many opportunities to
notice the result that has actually been
accomplished where Vinol has been used.
These results have always been salts
factory, often astounding even to US.
If you are getting we'll from any
trouble try Vinol. You will sleep better;
your appetite will improve, and, above
all, that which you eat will more readily
assimilate. 1t will be only day or two
before you will realize that your strength
is increasing.
If anyone is skeptical we only ask one
thing; that is, that such one call on us
and let us at least endeavor to convince
him. Such conversation cannot do any
one harm. Here is letter concerning
vinol, from Mr.. Isaac Champagne of
Keene, N. III. He says:
sit is with great pleasure that endorse
Vinol. My little girl Cora, after a hard
case of scarlet fever took it with the very
best results. do not believe she would
ever have recovered if it had not been for
Vinol, she was so weak. Now she is in
the very best of health.
Remember we guarantee Vinol and
always stand ready to refund to the
purchaser the price paid for 1t II com.
plete satisfaction is not given.

THE CALM.BEF0RE THE STORM.
Revising the Constitution and Great Strike
Will Stir up Belgium.
(By the Associated Press.)

10Y TIE aSSOCidttu IISSS'J
Brussels, April 12.-This exciting week
ends with the lull before the storm. The
coming week has already been dubbed
Revision Week, and it promises to wit
ness important events. A general strike
has been proclaimed for Monday and
Wednesday. A crisis will be reached by
the opening of the chamber by deputies
of the discussion of the question of the
revision of the Constitution on which the
Belgian people are now divided. The
Socialists and Liberals have for long
time past been seeking to force the
clerical government to an issue on the
question of the electoral law, modification
of which will necessitate a revision of
the Constitution.
At the present time any elector can
cast from one to three votes, according
to his qualifications. The Socialists and
Liberals claims that working men cannot
obtain more than two votes, whereas the
rich get three; and moreover, that in the
rural districts voters who are under the
domination of the priests and who sup
port the present government are often
fraudulently given three votes instead OF
the two to which, at the most, they are
entitled.
The Liberal leader in the Chamber of
Deputies, M Janson, submitted mo-
ton for the revision of the Consttu
ton, which the Government agreed shall
come before the Chamber next Wednes
day.
In the meanwhile. from almost every
mining and industrial district comes
news that large numbers of men have
decided to strike on Monday. Partial
strikes began yesterday at Liege, Mons,
Charleroi and elsewhere, and it is re-
ported that 10000 men are already out.
There is little indication however, that
general strike will occur in Brussels it
self The workmens committees will
meet tomorrow to come to a decision re-
gardng the action to be taken in this
city.
At half past ten the mob again grew
troublesome and the gendarmes were Or
dc red to clear the narrow tortuous alb
jacent streets in which threatening
crowds were massiEg. The gendarmes
charged with 1rawn swords and fixed
bayonets and we're greeted with hail
of stones. A revolver fusilade was be-
gun by both sides and some of the gen.
darmes fired their rifles, killing one rio
ter.
A. M-The squares in the neighhor-
hood of the Maison Du Peuple are still
occupied by troops bIsily engaged in dis
persing the groups which had gathered
at the outskirts of the cleared zone.
Most of the rioters, however, had be-
come worn out and gone home and
there is little likelihood of further trou-
BILE tonight but there Is every reason to
expect renewals of the disturbances at
daylight.

Urges Cultivation of Cassava.
(By the Associated Press.)

Brunswick Ga, April 1.-THE sugar
cane and cassava convention assembled
here today with some 300 delegates from
Georgia and Florida.
An elaborate address was delivered by
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson on the
possibilities of cassava cultivation in the
southeastern section. He said that ex-
periments had shown cassava to be d
cheaper cattle food than corn and
more prolific crop than potatoes. With
this article as a sure crop he did not
see any reason why Georgia and Flor
ida should not raise beef and pork not
only for their own consumption but for
the markets of the world. He also point
ed out that cassava contains about so
per cent OF starch and asserted that
starch works would be found very profit
able in the belt where cassava could be
raised.

The amendment provides, as does the
present constitution, that the loans
shall be at not less than per cent In

five years nor more than twenty years.
This will allow the state to loan more
money to districts at a lower rate of in

funds will be invested at home.
The proposed amendment relating to
roads and bridges increases the tax the

appropriated by the legislature without
