Vinol does create strength.

Vlnol does create strength.
We know that and have proved it in
many instances.
The reason Vinol rejuvenates and
Strengthens a person is that it acts
directly upon the stomach, strengthen
ing and toning up this great vital organ
and enabling it to obtain for itself,
from the food that is taken into it, the
elements which are required to make
drm healthy flesh and muscle tissue,
sound bone structure and pure healthy
blood.
Vinol does this in a scientific way
and is enabled TO do it because it con-
talns, dissolved in a delicate mild wine,
in highly concentrated state, the act
I've principles of cod-liver oil.
Vinol does not contain any of the
grease that formerly characterized cod
liver oil, hence is free from all the OBJ
jectionable features which made it inn
possible for patients to take or retain
that vile-smelling remedy into their
stomach.
Vinol in its favorable action upon
the stomach and other organs of the
body acts also in a beneficial way upon
the nerves and brain, and will be
found to be invaluable to brain workers
as well as body workers.
The following letter is from we'll
known authoress. 1t reads as follows:

of the Vino1 and testify to its great
benefits. Since taking it / am much
improved in health. and during the in

have been able to continue in my liter

strengthening properties of Vinol.
Yours in gratitude. ELLA STARR, 106

We wish any one sufferingfrom
weakness, a demoraliZed con-
dition of the nerves, or a suscep-
tibility to wasting diseases, to
call on us and hear what we have
to say in regard to Vinol.
Try it on our recommendation,
and il you find it does not do
everything we claim for it. we
will gladly refund to you the
amount you have paid US.

MUST CHANGE NAMES,
IT Indians Want Government Money
They Must Adopt Irritable
Handles,

Washington special: 1t will sur.
PRISE the great and respectable family
whose surnam is Coffee to learn that
the commissioner of Indian affairs, w.
A. Jones, has pronounced the name de-
grading and no more to be tolerated
than such popular Indian names as
"Drunkard" and Tobacco"
AT the suggestion of Hamlin Gar
land, who writes western stories and
recently has spent months among the
C~heyennes and Arapahoes in Okla
homa, the commissioner Of Indian af-
fairs has issued an order to all Indian
allotting agents and school teachers
changing the names Of all Indians
which are now what Commissioner
Jones n Mr.. Garland consider "un-
couth" and "unpronounceable." The
commissioner writes:
las Indians become citizens of the
United States under the allotment act,
the inheritance Of property is gov
erned by the laws of the respective
states, and it will cause needless con-
fusion n doubtless ultimate loss to
the Indians If NJ attempt is made to
have members of a family known by
the same family name on the records
and by general reputation. The Indian
is now half way between the old life
and the new, II his name should indi-
cate it.
Among other customs of white peo-
pie Indians should adopt our system
of family names, but at the same tim
the original Indian name should be re-
tanned as far as feasible. The allotment
roll as far as practicable should, like a
family register, group the allottees ac-
cording to their natural relations n
start each allottee with a reasonable
family name. Each child at school
should retain that name"
This is the second effort which has
been made by the interior department
to change the names of Indians carried
on the pay roll of the United States.
Ten or fifteen years ago an official at
the interior department became dis
gusted with the long, unpronounceable
| names Of the ComancheS. He wrote to
the Indian agent at Anadarko and told
him that henceforth in sending in the
lists of Comanche names for grass
money he should use the English
t~ranslations.
The agent replied that it would be
easy for him to comply with this re-
quest, but that it would inevitably lead
to great embarrassment. The Indian
| agent then took an assorted list of Co
manche nameS II submitted them
with their English equivalents. This
reply stopped the scheme of using Eng
| lish translations for Indian anne The
present scheme is a complete change
from the first system attempted, and
the Indian family name, wherever 1t
can be used 1t all, is to be retained.
| Where the name is vulgar a new one
will be substituted. Among the names
to be changed are such as Tobacco"
"Mogul' and Coffee" which are de-
grading, declares Mr.. Jones.

HOGS ARE U~NPROFITABLE
The Packers Would Bring Prices Down
or Buv Sparinqly.

Live Stock World: 1T is very evident
that the packers will not pay my more
for hogs If they can help it," remarked
an expert, land the fact must not be
overlooked that when hogs get into the
81 list they are dear Nevertheless con-
siderable manipulating has been neces-
sary to prevent a further advance and
had eastern shipping demand been
strong prices could not nave been kept
down. It seems hat every time the
market opens higher on light receipts
killers lay back or stay out of the mar
ket, causing a lower close. When re-
ceipts are heavy and the opening is
lower they compete and the finish is
higher.
PACKERS insist that hogs cannot be
profitably handled at present prices and
that a lower range must prevail before
they will lend the market a helping
hand. 1t the same time the majority
of those on the selling side believe in
continued high prices owing to the
small number in sight for the next few
months. But hogs may go off so cents
a hundred from present prices and still
be high, although the trader who is
expecting a margin must exercise eau
ton. If he anticipates the market by
getting bullish notions into his head
he is likely to collide win trouble"

DEATH Turks IN DESERT
Victims of a Fiend or Gano oil
Thieves Found,

Inc great Mojave desert holds many
strange and weird mysteries, but none
more gruesome than hat which is now
causing apprehension among those who
nave occasion to travel across its
sands.
Ihere is a mysterious murderer ir
the desert. He is known as THE
for the victims all bear the
marx OF a rope or cord about the neck.
Who or what he is no man can say.
Tor none have seen him and lived to tell
Ine tale: Within forty days eleven OF
MS victims have been found. A mar
named Harmon started across the des-
ert three weeks ago to examine some
mineral claims. He. had several hun
ured dollars with him to buy the claims
II they proved satisfactory. He was
round with the marks of the cord about
ms neck and his money was missing.
one or two others of the victims were
klo"n 10 carry sums of money when
they ode out into the desert, but upon
tnelr bodies when found nothing of
value was discovered. Robbery is the
pam object OF the stranger. The meth
ca is much like that of the now extinct
Thug Castle in India.
In all instances but one, the victims
nave gone out alone. A little more than
weeks ago John Carmen and An
GREW frotham rode away from San
~Bernardino together. They were start
ing on a prospecting tour and were
therefore not expected back at any
DEFINITE time. Three men returning
from the mines last week found their
oodles side by side twenty-five miles
from Dagget. The peculiar atmosphere
dry and hot-preserves the bodies of
men who meet death in the desert. They
dry up like mummies. These two bod
les We're easily identified as the bodies
OF Carmen and Frotham. 1t is argued
mat one man could not overpower two
braWny men like these prospectors, and
1t leads to the suspicion hat there are
at least two and possibly a gang of
strangulars preying Systematically upon
desert travellers.
