An Absolute Necessity

A DECREASE IN WEIGHT
FREQUENTLY INDICATES
A DECLINE.
Our Modern Rebuilder, Vinol,
Will Help You Do It.
The WAY IT ACTS ON a DE-
PLETED CONSTITUTION IS
SIMPLY MARVELLOUS.

Are you getting thin? II you arc
you had better watch yourself. Take
Vinol. 1t will build you up quickly
and surely.
A healthy man does not vary much
from year to year in his weight.
This is as it should be. Vinol enables
the organs of the body to renew flesh,
muscle tissue, bone structure, and at
tends to purifying the great vital cur
rent of the human system, the blood.
vinol contains the active curative
properties of Cod-Liver Oil in highly
concentrated state, and is the most
wonderful tonic that we have ever had
anything to do with.
Vinol acts upon the stomach In =

for itself the necessary ingredients
from the food that is taken into 1t to
build up the pure healthy body and in-s
crease the weight.

Doctor CUPID.
One of His Prescriptions.

THAT Love sometimes cures disease is
i a fact that has recently been called
to the attention of the public by prom
inent physician and college professor.
In some nervous diseases of women, such
as hysteria, this physician gives instances
where women were put in a pleasant
frame of mind, were made happy by fall
ing in love, and in consequence were
cured of their nervous troubles - the
weak, nervous system toned and stimu-
lated by little DR.. Cupid-became strong
and vigorous, almost without their
knowledge. Love is not, however, the
cure for all women. Many woman is
nervous and irritable, feels dragged
down and worn out for no reason that
she can think of. She may be ever so
much in love, but DIR. Cupid fails to cure
her. In such cases the body is not
sound-the nervousness and other symp-
toms are telegraphed all over the body
by the nerves (which is the Geographic
system of the human BODY because the
weak spot demands attention. In nine
ty-nine per cent. of these cases it is the
womanly organism which requires at
tention the weak back, dizzy spells and

WONDERFUL TREE
Has Tarantula-Like Blossoms
With Supplying Odor.

A woaderful tree of unknown
variety has been discovered IN a
mountain canyon in spur OF the
san Jacinto Mountains, down near
the Mexican line. 1t was discover
ed by a party of prospectors who
penetrated the canyon in search of
water. A branch of the tree and
blossoms were secured for classifi-
cation, but it is unknown to bota-
nists Of the West
Q The leaves of the tree resemble
size and shape the fig leaf, but
they are Of a vivid purple color and
the under side of the leaf is thickly
covered with stiff hairs, which
stand out from the leaf fully half an
inch. These hairs are sharp and
thoruhkr. and easily penetrate the
skin, and wbeo they do - they are
poisonous. causing swelling and
much pain.
The blossoms are as peculiar as
are the branches and leaves. They
are of a rusty red color, and are
abont two inches in diameter. Ia
shape they are a very good roper
sentation of the tarantula. There
is a huge hairy bulb, in shape re
semblIng the abdomen of the pols-
ouous spider, and there are several
chives, or stamens, corresponding
TO the legs OF that insect.
The most peculiar feature of the
plant, however, remains to be told.
Whenever one approaches the
plant, or when the wind agi'ates
the branches of the tree, the flow
ers give off an abundance of per-
.lume--heavy, sickeniug and deadly.
This perfume has the quality of
'chloroform, and few inhalations
OF the odor produces unconscious
ness. The prospectors who made
the discovery of the plant were
rendered inscusible upon approach
ing the tree to examine il.
AS the plant seems to have no
botanical name two names have
been suggested by The qualities OF
the plant itself. One is taraDtula
plant, the other chlorOiorm tree.

FROM CHILDHOOD
To Old Age Peasants Never Wash
Themselves.

A German doctor gives most
picturesque account of the filthy
habits of the Russian peasants.
A peasant was suffering from a
wound that would not heal, and it
become necessary to take piece OF
skin from another part of his body
and graft it on the injured spot.
After washing the patient well, the
doctor proceeded to take the slice oil
skin required. but wheu he came IL
put it into d dslniectant solution he
was astonished to find that it dis
solved. Closer examina tiou showed
him that what he had taken for skin
was real dirt, which had become
so much pratt of the peasants
body as to be indistinguishable
from it.
The same doctor was obliged In
hundreds OF cases to scrape the dirt
off his patients and then to scrub
them violently with a hard brush
and soda water before he could
give them medical treatment. He
found that the peasants, as a rule,
never washed themselves from
childhood to old age, and often wore
the same clothes next to the skin
for years together.
