And have wrung you out by steam.
They will tear you in your anguish
Through n cloth destroying press,
Gummed with starch and left TO languish
In unmerited distress
TIL your fabric. ripped and rotten,

Four Stunning Costumes.

Miss Rose Coghlan and a specially Sc
lected company will appear at the Acad-
envy of Music on Wednesday night. jan
uary 9Th, in 'Tne Greatest Thing in the
World" It is the story of woman, in
fashionable society, battling against the
hereditary faint of drunkenness as it de-
velops in the eldest of her sons. the
dramatists have made the battle well
conducted and the episodes logical. The
theme is treated with method of quiet
analysis, and great emotional opportuni-
ties are afforded Miss Coghlaa, which are
taken advantage of singleness of pur-
pose that makes the work of this powerful
actress thing for younger and less tai,
ented stars to strive for with all their
might. In one act, the third, there is a
tremendous situation when Miss Coghlan,
who is at her best as the hara ssed aE1
despairing mother, calls upon the sorry
figure of her son in one long impassioned
speech to assert himself, to repay her
years of prayer and care-to be, in short,
a man. Miss Coghlan wears four stunning
costumes of the richest fabrics in this
play with an ease, grace and unconscious
ness that stamp her as past MISTRESS of
the art of acting and the equally diff
cult art of wearing dresses artistically.

AN INNOVATION HERE.
WoodaIrs Stables Has the Most I'm.
proved Clipper in Operation.

Lovers of horsefesh and owners who
keep their horses in good condition will
be interested in an innovation which has
lust been placed at WoodalPs stables and
is operated now every morning. Numbers
of gentlemen and ladies visit Woodalls
stables each day to witness the wonder
full work of the clipper and groomer
which has already improved the appear
ance of some of the finest horses in Raj
eigh.
A representative of The News and OBJ
server yesterday witnessed the new ma
chine in operation. The groomer facili
| tates work to a remarkable extent and
the work which usually requires half an
hour by hand is now accomplished in tour
minutes, leaving the appearance of q
| horse fully fifty per cent superior to
the horse groomed by hand.
| The remarkable work. however. is ac-
complished by the clipper, this latest i'm
proved machinery having been secured b.
Mr.. Chas Woodall and installed in his
stables during the past few days. Thu
clipper is operated by the same machinery
that is used in grooming. The shagglest.
widest and woo1fest appearing horse may
| be clipped and mis- coat OF hair lett
smoother and healthy within half hour.
The work is simply done and the horses
clipped yesterday seemed to enjoy the
experience.
This work is in charge of expert hands.
The knife is type OF Knife which has
demonstrated its superiority over any
thing made heretofore. The cutter VI
brates on rib which is a part of tie
handle casing and wnich projects into
slot milled into the top of the cutter.
There is practically no noise and the ease
with which the clipper removes the long
est and thickest coating is a matter wor-
thy OF note.
Mr.. Woodall is ever alert to the prog
ress in his line of business. He has the
large stable on East Morgan street well
filled with the finest private horses owned
in Raleigh and the appearance of these
| is to be improved by his new methods.

OLD AGE
Depends Not Upon Years, but Upon Vital
Force
A GREAT DISCOVERY TO WARD OFF OLD
AGE.

In Raleigh lately there has been
good deal cf discussion in regard to old
people. Some at so years call themselves
old land really appear so; while others at
p70 years seem active, vigorous and young.
A reporter of the News and Observer
happened in the store of w. H. King
Drug Co, our local druggist, the other
evening, and this subject was brought up.
Said Mr. King: ut is a fact, and we see
it illustrated every day right here in Raj
cigh it is not years, old age does not be
gin at any set time, but is loss of vital
force that makes a person old. Weakened
digestion, thin blood and poor circulation
soon start functional powers and vitality
lon the wane, and then the symptoms of
old age quickly appear. YSu know man
is as old as he feels.
|, son the other hand,' continued Mr..
King, chat old feeling may be warded off,
and | wish every person in Raleigh who
| feels old, whether they are so in years or
not, would try the great discovery, Vinol.
I know that it has vital principles which
win in natural manner strengthen di-
gestion, assimilation and all the function
| al powers, send RICH red blood coursing
Through the veins, and give new life to
every organ of the body, and this is what
makes the old feel young again"
| Mrs. H. w. Avery, of Norwich, N. Y,
writes:
"At the age of SO I felt the need of a
tonic, something to strengthen and build
ne up. For a year and a half l have
taken Vinol, and l have found that it
brings vigor and life to the aged as moth
| ing else will
Mrs. Sarah j. Windrom cousin to the
late United States President, Zachary
Taylor, APO West Erie street, Chicago,
who is rs years Old, says Vinol is God
send to old people. So also does Mr.
George L. Jones, ST., of 10 Perrine Ave,
Jersey City, and A. j. Baker of 713 Locust
street, Evansville, Ind.
| Vinol repairs worn tissues, checks the
natural decline and replaces weakness with
strength. 1t is an ideal body builder for
Eold folks.
we promise you that Vinol is, first of
all, agreeable, because it contains no fishy
oil Second, that it is a genuine cod liver
medicine, containing all the medicinal cur
atives and strengthening elements taken
direct from fresh Gods livers; and third
we will return your money if it does not
