Good
Medicine

Cod liver oil is in universal re-
pute as the best body builder in
wasting diseases, and the best
reconstructOr in recovery from
severe sickness known to medicine.
Nevertheless, three-fourths of
the people are really made sick by
the taste and smell of cod liver oil.
Half of them can't take it. Their
stomachs either reject it, or are so
upset by it that the dose does
more harm than good.
Vinol is the only preparation of
cod liver oil which contains no
grease or bad taste yet does con-
tain all the virtue of cod liver
oil, and is deliciously palatable. 1t
also contains organic iron. Iron
gives quality to the blood. Almost
every ailing person needs it.
The combination of these two
elements with table wine is both
scientific and effective. 1t has
accomplished wonderful things
right here in town. We think
we are doing a service to every
rundown, ailing, coughing, ner-
vous, debiltated person in calling
attention to Vinol. We sell it on
its merits money back if it does
not help you. You run no risk.
Old people revive under its infu-
ence. Nursing mothers an1 over
worked people get new vitality.

THE TARTAR CUE.
Said to BE Worn Out of Gratitude
TO the Horse.

to the Horse.
Herbert Allen Giles in "China and
The Chinese" says that there are
strange misconceptions as to the mean
Ing of the Chinese cue, which has
really been worn by that nation for
only about go years.
1t was imposed by the MantchOO Tar
tars, the present rulers of China, as a
badge of conquest. Previous to 1914
the Chinese clothed themselves and
dressed their hair like the modern Jap
anese-that is, like the Japanese who
still wear what is incorrectly known
as the beautiful native dress of ia
pam" AS a matter of fact, the Japan
ese borrowed their dress as well as
their literature, philosophy and early
art from the Chinese. The Japanese
dress is that of the Ming period in
China, 1868 to 1914.
But where did the MantchOO Tar
tars get the cue? They depended as a
race almost for their existence upon
the horse. The accepted theory is that
out Of gratitude and respect for his
noble ally the Tartar, so far as he
could, took on himself the equine form
and grew a cue in imitation of a
horses tail. This somewhat grotesque
theory might fall to the ground save
that it is supported by striking evi-
dence.
Official coats as seen in China at the
present day are made with peculiar
sleeves, shaped like horses leg and
ending i'm an unmistakable hOof, COW
ering the hand, which are known as
Horseshoe sleeves" Incased therein
a Chinaman's arms look much like
horses fore legs. The tail completes
the picture.

He passes under its influence more
