Did you know the method OF making
shot has never changed? No? Well
it's fact" said the SHOEMAKER Hun
dreds Of years ago shot was made in
just the same way II is made now.
Seems strange, doesn't IL, that with
all the improvements in other lines
none has been made In this! Oh. yes.
plenty Of men have tried to find some
better way, but they all have had to
give it up and go back to the old shot
tower. They wanted to get rid Of the
high tower. for that is the most ex-
pensive part OF the plant.
you know shot is made by pouring
a Melted composition Of lead and ar
senic through a screen or from a big
radle with a serrated edge at the top
of the tower and letting 1t fall into a
tank of water. The drops OF lead get
perfectly round on their way down
just like rain drops and by the time
they reach the water they are cold
enough so they do not fatten out when
they strike. Then the water finishes
the cooling process.
They have tried dropping the lead
through a big tube with blast Of cold
air against the outside and they have
tried dropping 1t through glycerin. But
none Of these ways seems to work
Why can't they improve on It? Well,
I suppose because the fellow who start
ed making shot found the right way.
It's just following the course that ma
ture takes I'm making hail and don't
suppose they ran beat her at her own
game. That's why they haven't made
any improvements" New York Press

Throwing Away a Fortune.

A poor Austrian official In the civil
service recently bought two tickets I'm
the Hungarian PhIlanthropic State
lottery. A little while afterwards his
funds ran very low. and he sent back
one OF the tickets to the lottery Office
and asked that the money he had paid
for It might be returned. This very
ticket won the first prize at the draw
ing. amounting to one hundred and
fifty thousand kronen-a sum which
would have made the official rich be-
yond his utmost dreams II he had not
at the last moment let his own good
fortune slip out Of his hand.

But 1T DOESN'T
Many Have the Erroneous
Idea that Fat Makes Fat
One Reason Of Cod Liver oirs Popu.
Iarity.
Nevertheless a Decidedly Wrong I'm
preston.

Fat taken into the stomach does
not make fat Thousands Of physi-
clans have prescribed cod liver oil
for wasting diseases and all troubles
that show themselves in a decline of
weight. Physicians know that the fat
or grease is not what is necessary
to make fat or tissue. They also
know that it is one of the main things
that make cod liver oil impractical in
many cases. The fat is too rich to
be digested by stomach weakened
by disease.
When cod liver oil is given, often
the oil passes from the body in ex.
actly the same state in which it was
received. The reason doctors pre-
scribe cod liver oil is that it contains
certain curative properties. 1t is to
take advantage of these same cura-
tive properties that they have so
often tried to force their patients to
take this horrible, greasy, vile-smell-
ing, nauseating remedy.
There are but few people who have
not had experience one way or an
other with cod liver OIL and even the
thought of its smell is enough to
cause a shudder When we think of
these things it is not strange that
every one of our city is sounding the
praise of Vinol.
Vinol which Mr.. Putnam is hand
ling, is the solution of an embawass-
ing puzzle that physicians have had
to contend with for years. Much has
been said in the past few days of
this wonderful discovery and yet it
would be impossible to say too much
in its praise.
Vinol will indeed prove itself to be
a Godsend of the most precious kind.
AS we have described it before, there
is no need now of entering into the
subject at length; but just remember
that in Vinol you can procure all the
medicinal properties or curative prln.
ciples that make cod liver oil fam
GUS, but without that greasy, fat.
Vinol contains just the right amount
of the active medicinal properties of
the Gods liver that Is necessary for
the cure of such diseases as cod liver
oil mas been prescribed for,
This is a subject that every one
should become familiar with and we
recommend that you make inquiries
of your druggist in regard to Vinol,
or if you will call on Mr.. Putnam,
who has associated himself with the
Boston chemists, who are preparing
this remedy, he will gladly give any
one all explanations that may be de-
sired in regard to this subject.
