In the Shah Luka pass we have one
of the many instances in which the
Nile has hurled itself at an opposing
mountain barrier and cut it's way

A PECULIAR HOTEL.

Its Rooms Named For States Instead
of Being Numbered.
''In little town in the backwoods of
Mississippi" remarked a travelling
man, "there is a peculiar hotel. 1t is
just like any other hotel except in the
way the rooms are named. They are
not numbered, as is generally done,
but each room is named for a state of
the United States.

one of the smallest rooms in the house.
A. man who was occupying New
Hampshire made complaint to the
landlord that the man in Maine was
drunk and boisterous and was thus
keeping him awake. This seemed
strange, when we recall that Maine is
a prohibition state. Two men up in
Montana were keeping up the repu-
tation of the wild west by engaging in
a noisy poker game. A big, fat CAPT
talist had New York. which was the
best room in the house. The room

Vinol does create strength.

Vinol does create strength.
We know that and have proved it in
many instances.
The reason Vino1 reiuvenates 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
firm healthy flesh and muscle tissue,
sound bone structure and pure healthy
blood.
Vinol does this in a scientific wav
and is enabled to do it because it con-

i've principles of cod-liver oil.
Vino1 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 i'm
possible for patients to take or retain
that vile-smelling remedy into their
stomach.
Vinol in it's favorable action upon
the stomach and other organs of the
body acts also in beneficial way upon
the nerves and brain, and will be
found to be invaluable to brain workers
as Wen as DOdy workers.
The following letter is from a we'll
known authoress. It reads as follows:
81 wish to acknowledge the receipt
of the Vinol and testify to its great
benefits. Since taking it I am much
improved in health, and during the in

strengthening properties of Vinol.
