We Have Many Friends Here in Town
Who Are Subject to Such Trouble.

Colds if neglected lead to serious and
often fatal consequences.
Do not go on living with the continual
dread of catching cold. There is no need
of it. People who take cold easily do so
because their system is in just the con-
dition to contract them.
We know of something that will
quickly drive colds out of the system by
invigorating the entire body. 1t is VI
MOL, the great tonic reconstructor, that
contains all the active curative principles
found in cod liver oil.
Here is one letter that we nave had
presented to US that we would like our
friends to read:
II have been suffering from a severe
cold for number of weeks, and having
heard SO much about VINOL as being a
cure for such troubles, decided to try
it. Two bottles entirely cured me and |
now feel in better health than ever be-
fore in my life. j. NJ. BROWN, 319 W.
Mahanoy ST., Mahanoy City, Penn"
Remember that if you do not find that
NINOL is all that we claim for it we are
always glad to refund to our customers
the money that they pay us for it, which
,mphatically endorses Vinol.

The Luxury of Doing Good.

magazine article on The Luxury
OF Doing Good" quotes one or more
writers to the effect that the impulse of
benevolcnce is, in fact, selfish one.
because people please themselves by
exercising the power of doing good.
This kind of dissection of motives
seems rather ungracious and unprofita-
BILE, as, although logic of course could
very easily reason out the matter to the
same conclusion, in actual life to take
delight in benefitinS others is not, as Il
rule, characteristic of selfish natures.
If we have the means of doing good at
little or no cost of sacrifice to ourselves,
whether in money, influence or any
other form of hclpfulness, it may per
haps be truly said that we derive
pleasure at very cheap rate. But the
vast majority of people can only do
good at the cost of some little self de-
nia!, and in those cases we can only
ascribc their actions to the simple quail
tiles of kindness and good feeling
