many places in the State to be passed

A CONTINUAL STRAIN.

Many men and women are constantly
subjected to what they commonly term
"a continual strain" because of some
financial OF family trouble. 1t wears and
distresses them both mentally and physi-
cally, affecting their nerves badly and
bringing on liver and kidney ailments,
with the attendant evils of constipation,
loss of appetite, sleeplessness, low vi
tality and dependency. They cannot
as rule, get rid of this continual
strain," but they can remedy its health
destroying effects by taking frequent
doses of Green's August Flower. 1t tones
up the liver, stimulates the kidneys in
sures healthy bodily functions, gives
vim and spirit to ones whole being, and
eventually dispels the physical or mem
tai distress caused by that continual
strain " Trial bottle of August Flower,

vii age occurred, Monday, May 10, when
Mrs John Childs was called to her heav-
enly home. Mrs. Childs has been ailing
since Februar7. She had the grip and
never gained perfect health after the at
tack and kept steadily losing strength un-
til she was taken with brain fever. She
was carefully cared for and had good med

The Red Petticoat.

Unto all railroad engineers the red
petticoat is a sacred thing. Upon
scores of occasions red petticoats have
been the means of saving trains from
being wrecked. Invariably the woman
who discovers a washout or a collaps-
ed bridge or an obstruction on the
track wears red petticoat There
may be psychological explanation Of
this remarkable fact, but whether
there is or not the brave woman al
ways manages during the one minute
and twenty seven seconds that must
elapse before the arrival of the light

The meeting OF the teachers at the Lin
coin school room was an enjoyable and
profitable gathering, all but Mr.. Dodson
of the piel school OF Moxie being present,
severe cold keeping him away. The
welcome by Mrs. Webster of the Lincoln
high school, and response by Miss Cook
son of the Franklin school were appro-
pirate and well-worded. Nearly thirty
questions arising from the every day work
OF the teachers present or suggested by
the observations of the superintendent
were discussed and apparently with much
interest, all the teachers participating, as
also, did Rev. w. A. Richmond OF Bing-
ham, who drove up in the morning. The
consideration of the subjects was inter
spersed by a paper on "How Teach
Geography" by Daisy E. Holway Of the
Burleigh high school of West Forks, a
basket dinner, and an able and impressive
address by Rev. Mr.. Richmond. An
other will be held during the fall term.

REASONS
Why our Vinoi Is the Greatest
Health Restorer and Strength
Creator Known to Medicine.

Because Vinol contains in a concen-
trated form ALL of the medicinal cur
alive elements found in cod liver oil,
but without a drop Of oil TO nauseats
and upset the stomach; therefore,
wherever old-fashioned cod liver oil or
smulsions will do good, Vinol will do
far more good.
Because we have never sold anything
in our store equal to Vinol to restore
health and create strength for old peo-
pie, weak, sickly women and children,
nursing mothers, and after severe
sickness.
Vinol cures hacking coughs, chronic
colds, bronchitis, and all throat and
lung troubles.
A prominent physician writes: j..
"Vinol is the most palatable and
valuable preparation of cod liver oil
ever rcompounded. now use ii entirely
In all cases where formerly depended
upon old-fashioned cod liver oil and
emulsions.

A writer In the London Chronicle
says: "a few years agc-it may be the
same today-the popular markets Of
the poorer quarters Of Rome and even
the stalls Of the butchers near the
Pantheon showed rows and rows of
cats hung up for sale, with the skins
off, but the tails carefully left on to
show that they were not rabbits, for
an old fashioned Italian does not think
a rabbit quite ft for human food. nor
