FEEBLE OLD PEOPLE
For All Such People in Los Angeles We
Guarantee VinoI will Create Health,
Strength and Vitality, or
Return Money

Hundreds of old people right here in
Los Angeles need just such strength
maker and body builder as our delici-
Gus cod liver oil preparation, Vinol;
and we simply cannot understand why
they will continue to drag out half
dead and half-alive existence, when we
guarantee Vinol will infuse new life,
inVigorate every organ in the body,
stop the natural decline and make
them well, vigorous and strong.
If you want to know how an aged,
feeble. discouraged man or woman
may be made active, cheerful and Wig
orous, read this letter:
Mrs. Catherine Therer of Albany, n.
Y, writes: six months ago ! felt that
I was broken down by age. and | was
doomed to the weak and feeble condi-
ton of old people. The slightest eXer-
ton tired me and | had no strength.
MY daughter brought me a bottle of
Vinol. ] soon felt an improvement, |
continued its use and am now well,
cheerful and stronger than l have been
for years; in fact | feel 10 years
younger"
Vinol Is not a strong stimulant which
reacts on the system, but ii is gem
uine tonic and body builder which
creates strength by building up every
organ i'm the body to do it's work as
nature intended and makes rich, red
blood In this way It stops the nat
ural decline. and replaces weakness
with vigor. We wish every old per-
son i'm Los Angeles would try Vinol
on our guarantee to return money II
ii fails. Take a dose of Vinol after
each meal and every night before re-
tiring and note its beneficial Effect

now awaiting the battle Of ballots to-
morrow The betting at the close of

not willing to stake their cash at that
figure, and the odds of two to one on
II. NJ. Barton. the non-partisan nomi-

The main bitterness has arisen as
result of a split in the Republican
party, one faction supporting the nom
partisan movement, while the other
faction, led by j. J. Hanford, has Sc
cured the recognition of the state
machine and put ticket i'm the field
as the regular Republican ticket. The
Democrats made no nomination for

party Is supporting Barton for mayor,

We're alarmed at the supposed possibilities

The Fulton never had an opportunity of
demonstrating her worth as a fighting ma
chine, although she would doubtless have
proved formidable opponent to any war
ship then afoat. Her first trip was made on
June l, 1915. down New York bay to the
Narrows. On July of the same year she
had a speed trial, the course being twenty
f1ve miles out to sea and back The trip
was accomplished in a little less than nine
hours, and was entirely satisfactory to
both the government representatives and
the builders.
AT the close of the war with Great Britain
the Fulton was tied up opposite the Brook
!yn navy yard and remained there until
June 4, 1922 On that day two barrels of
powder. stored in the hold, exploded, and
the ship was blown to pieces. Between
twenty and thirty men, who were on board
at the time, were killed. The cause of the
explosion was never determined Some
years later another vessel in the navy re-
ceived the name of Fulton.

THE FIRST
STEAM WARSHIP


That Robert Fulton designed and super
vlsed the construction of the first warship
in the American navy propelled by steam
is little known but nevertheless true. 1t
was during the second war with Great Brit
ain when the United States was ill-prepared
to meet an enemy on the high seas, when
the floating forts that are now hers were
not even dreamed of.
The Demologos was the name given Full
toms ship. and it was expected to aid ma
terially In bringing about a speedy con-
clusion of the war. 1t was regarded as a
marvel by Americans and as little less than
a demon by our cousins on the other side.
A British newspaper of that time had this
TO say of the Demologos:
There is now building in New York a
terrible eagine of war, which is propelled
by steam The length of the vessel is 800
feet 100 feet in breadth. and the hull is
constructed of alternate layers of cork and
oak planking thirteen feet in thickness. She
carries forty-four guns and her quarterback
and foreeastle guns are forty-four pound
ers. pump is worked by machinery
which enables her to throw 100 gallons of
boiling water per minute upon the decks of
an enemy.

have not been led by the old wives tales
emanating from academic chairs to believe
that he is a wondrously deep philosopher,
with vast insight into the sacred things of
life, at whose feet all the nations must sit
and learn. Rubbish and insult, Shakes
peare is none of these things at all He is
superficial rather than deep. His morals are
strictly conventional He says thousands
of fine things magnificentiy. but that doesn't
make him deep philosopher If there is
anything obscure or troublesome about him,
1T lies solely in the words he uses, which
have since his time become obsolete. But
that is a difficulty that can easily be got
around. Shakespeare is not a philosopher.
He is, on the contrary, just the most de-
lightful entertainer of grown-up men and
women who ever set English pen on paper.
His comedies, especially. are nothing but
grown-ups fairy tales. They send the
imagination off happy revels Their
world is a. world of sweet unreasonableness.
They give three hours of untrammeled joy
to every adult body who will listen to them
for amusement's sake. That is, of course
provided it is the real Shakespeare that is
put on the stage. A mansled Shakespeare,
half rewritten and distorted for a stars
sake, may or may not be a pleasure, but the
real Shakespeare cannot help being, even
in his fimsiest work.

In the archives OF the Navy Department
may be found mention of the Demologos to-

Fulton's successful trip up the Hudson led
him to offer the benefit of his labors to
his country. Fulton believed that ships of
the navy should be propelled by steam, and
he urged Congress to authorize the con-
struction OF one or more steam war YES

sells for coast defense, a greater part of
the Atlantic coast line being wholly unpro-
tected. Finally Fulton's suggestion was
adopted and by special legislation an act
was passed providing for the immediate
construction of a number of floating batter
les to be built after a type submitted to
the Navy Department by Fulton. 1t was
not until early in 1914 that a commission
was appointed TO superintend the construc-
of S. l.. Mitchell, Henry Rutgers
Robert Fulton and Naval Constructor Adam
Brown On June 20, 1911, the keel of the
Demo.ogos was laid at Corlear's Hook on
the East river. opposite New York and on
October 20 of the same year she was
launched.

cost $500 000. but owing to many modi-

1t was at first intended that the Demologos
should carry twenty guns, but that num-
Der was increased to thirty. She was one
hundred and fifty feet long, fifty-six feet
beam and twenty feet deep.
AS viewed in the light of modern times,
the most peculiar thing about the ship was
the location of the propeling power In
the center of the vessel there was a we'll
like opening straight down to the water in
which a single paddle wheel worked. At the
last moment this well was converted into
channel seventy feet long and the size of
the paddle wheel was increased to sixteen
feet in diameter.
The wheel was propelled by single cy!in-
der. The equilibrium of the vessel was pre-
served by having the cylinder on one side
all the machinery being placed amidship.

Rapid maneuvering in any direction was
desired by the designer of the DemoIogos,
and with this end in view she was provided
with two bowsprits and jibs and four rud-
ders, two at each end. BY this arrange
ment she could be propelled forward or
backward. like a ferry boat, with equal
ease. Two short, stout masts rose forward

In those days, when breech-loading guns
were unknown, it was customary to use

packed down the old Misunderstanding pieces.

ogos recognized weak point in warships,

by the same engine which propelled the
paddle wheel This pump could send two
streams of water a great distance, and it
was intended that these should be turned
upon an enemy when in close quarters,
drenchfng their loose powder and rendering
1t useless.
The greatest difficulty experienced by the
builders was in supplying the ships arma-
ment. The thirty guns allotted to her had
TO be brought from Philadelphia, and as
there were then no railroads. the ordnance
was hauled overland In wagons. The roads
were In a miserable condition, and 1t was
necessary to use oxen instead of horses or

Wants a COmmutatiOn.

Governor Vardaman has been
asked to grant communication to
life sentence in the penitentiary
for Joe Watt Fugitt, the celebrat-
ed Prentiss county prisoner now
under sentence of death for the
murder of a neighbor named Ran
Cunningham, and the date of
whose execution was recently fix
ed by the Supreme Court for the
Both of January.
In view of the decision by the
Supreme Court in which the opin-
ion was expressed that the MUIR
der was cold blooded and unpro-
Voked, and committed in an un-
usually atroeious manner, it is not
believed that the Governor will
interfere with the gentence of the
court, but will allow the law to
take its course. Hon. w. NJ.
Cox, of Prentiss county, who aid
led the District Attorney ID con-
sducting the prosecution, and also
argued the case before the Su-
preme Court after the Attorney
General had filed brief, is
strongly opposed to the granting
of a Communication. Clarion Led
ger.
Jerry Robinson, the slayer of
Smith Murphy, was granted bail
and his bond fixed at $40, 900.

awakened intense interest.
