Get Children
Started Right

Measles, scarlet fever, mumps
and whooping cough are univer-
sally prevalent.
With all these, the disease itself
is often trivial, but the after effects
are very serious.
Close observers say that one
half the people suffer from eye
trouble (result of measles),- or
bronchial, ear, or kidney trouble
(result of other diseases of child
hood).
Now a child in robust health
will throw off these diseases. A
weak ailing child will probably
suffer all its life.
We have just the medicine for
puny, ailing children. 1t is Vinol.
1t is pleasant to take, it is free
from dangerous drugs, it is nour-
ishing and gently tonic, it helps the
food to digest and gives strength.
1t has been used in this town
with great success when children
were slow in getting over whoop-
ing cough and measles.
1t seems to give them start,
and they become bright and
healthy. Used with Vinlax, the
bowel regulator, it is safe and sure,
both for ailing children and bur-
dened mothers. Take home a
bottle on our guarantee of money
back if it's not good. Don't let
your little ones remain weak and
ailing.

five or six feet, possesses the remark

being approached by light, takes fire
and burns brightly for few moments,

TO MEDIATE IN THE
DISPUTES At BUTTE

BUTTE, Oct. Robustness men are
how turning to meditation and arbi-
tration as means for settling the dis
putes which have resulted in the clos
ing of the mines which in turn has
precipitated grave situation all over
western Montana. kilograms have been
sent to Senator w. A. Clark in this
city, Governor j. X. Toole at Helena,
Representative Joseph Dixon and j. j.
Hill, president of the Great Northern,
asking each of them if they would act
with the other gentlemen named and
Senator Gibson in an effort to mediate
between the warning copper interests
with a view to keeping open the mines
and smelters of the Amalgamted COM
pany.
Favorable answers have been receiv-
ed and great hopes are entertained
that this committee can act between
the parties to the copper war and the
courts in any way that they might
think best as soon as they could con-
suit with each other.

FINE DEPOT IS
TO BE ERECTED

In the selection of a new site yard
age is one of the principal things be
ing considered.
The plans decided upon, it is under
stood, are for building to cost about
$4,000 Of course with the other i'm.
provements incidental to the new de-
pot building the company will prob.
ably expend a much greater sum.
Ever since the building of the old
''shack" depot last winter new pas
senger depot has been topic of con;
lecture among all classes of people. :.
With the dawning of the new year
this proposition will be definitely 1e-
cided as will also the question Of a
new addition by the Northern Pacific
to their depot, which is much too small
to accommodate their business.
They propose to remodel the express
department and make it into an enlarg-
ed waiting room along with the present
one, and build an addition to the west
side of the building.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1903-10-26

From unofficial sources it has been
learned that the o. r. & n. company
has about completed arrangements for
Che erection of their new depot. The
plans submitted by architects have
been settled upon by the officials for
pome time and the only reason work
has not been started is the difficulty in
reaching an agreement with certain
property owners in the vicinity of the
site wanted.
This. it is understood, is near the
INLAND mill, this side of the o. r. & n.
tracks.
A proposition has also been brought
mp to demolish the old freight depot
on Washington street, build the new
passenger depot there and the new
freight house farther west.
However, this proposition has not
met with favor as the site wanted is
near Howard street. In any event,
whether the old freight site or a new
one is selected, the depot will be built

Walking.
From the Boston Post.


The walking habit is Of the most
valuable that one can acquire. The man
who keeps his legs in condition is doing
much to keep his nerves and his brain in
condition, and he will probably be able to
measure his degree of vigor by observing
the strength Of his knees. 1t is true, says
an English authority, that walking is not
the ideal exercise, from the anatomical
point Of view. 1t is better than cycling,
for it allows of that half swing of the
pelvis at the advance of the legs alter
nately which is wanting in the cyclists
seat; and it gives much better play to the
arch of the foot and to the ankle. The
chief demerit of pedestrianism is that it
gives no exercise for the arms and shoul-
ders and not much for the loins. The kind
of walking which fulfills every end of eX-
ercise Is that WHICH one takes with a golf
club in hand round links. The swing
of the body in welding the club is va
riety of muscular eXerton which is too
seldom practced and cannot be too much
priced A golfer will sometimes have re-
marked that certain groups of his muscles
must be comparatively unexercised in or
binary, from the stiffness which he feels
in them after his first days play following
a long interval; and among them are the
muscles of the loins and fanks. 1t may
be said to be a sound principle, needing no
proof, that the better the condition of the
muscular walls the safer the state of the
organs contained within them.
