That Was the Opinion of the Man With

There is man living in an Elev-

his soul, and there is a man on the
lower floor whose soul is full of it.
The lower floor man not long ago add
ed four lung parlor organ to his lares
and penates, and two healthy daugh-
ters Of his began to practice on it..
Several nights later a friend paid a
visit to the first man, and as soon as
he got inside the apartment he heard
the parlor organ on the lower
floor.
"Fine toned instrument that" he
said because he, too, had some music
in his soul.
The musicless man grunted.
Whose make is it?' the visitor
asked.
'Don't know was the ungracious
answer.
How many stops has it?'
The host pulled himself up for q
powerful effort. "Well," he replied

are generally on the European plan

guests to get ,heir meals wherever
meal-time mas find them. Prices for
rooms in private houses range from
so cents to $3.50 per day per person.
Tbs prevailing rate is $1.OO per person
and in nearly every case good accom-
modations with all conveniences and
in good localities may be had for this

A USE FOR EVERYTHING
Yet Ever Created Without a
a Purpose.
A THEORY DIFFICULT To BE BE
LIEvED IN SOME INSTANCES.
Many Think Nature Might Have Been
Improved Upon in Many Ways.

We all wonder why certain things
were ever made, why certain animals
or insects We're allowed to live. And
yet there is no doubt but that every
thing was intended for some purpose,
and as civilization advances such
purposes are discovered.
Cod liver oil is something that ev-
erybody knows to have been wise
provision of Providence. to be used
as medicine in all wasting diseases.
Why nature should have appended TO
this valuable remedy its horrible
odor and most terrible taste is also
something that many have wondered
at. But that was natures way. She
gave to man the crude material and
has left it to his intelligence to over
come many Of its Objectionable fea-
lures.
This is exactly what has happened
in regard to cod liver oil Every
body knows its value. Everybody
knows how necessary it is for physi-
clans to prescribe it in many in
stances. Everybody also knows that
it is one of the most terrible medi-
cines to take that can be imagined.
There is no longer need of taking it;
that is, in the form in which we have
been accustomed to know it.
The Brock and McComas company.
of this city. have associated them
selves with a Boston house which is
producing a preparation known as
Vinol. This is not a patent medi-
cine. Anyone may see. on the label
Of each bottle.Or the Brock & Nc
Comas company will tell anyone who
calls on them exactly what Vinol
contains. AS Mr.. Brock. of the Brock
& McComas company. explained yes
terday: I'VE have simply found out
how to extract the active medicinal
principles from the Gods liver that
has made cod liver oil valuable. This
we may obtain in the form of a con-
centrated extract. The grease, with
all its vile Odor. is left behind. That.
too, has its purposes. Ii is valuable
for dressing leather but as for its
being good for man as a medicine. 1t
is absolutely worthless.
Now we take the medicine that
We have obtained. or the concentrat-
ed medicinal properties of the Gods
liver. and place Just the right guam
tity OF this extract in a delicious, mild
table wine. and there you have the
whole story. Anybody can learn in
a minute that vinol is tasteless. Any
one who is compelled to take cod
liver oil. can find out in a few days
how much more benefit can be de-
rived from Vinol than could ever
have been obtained from cod liver
oil in its crude form"
The Brock & McComas company's
enthusiasm in regard to vinol is in
deed well founded. The preparation
which they are handling will be in a
snort time one of the best known in
the world.
