volume than this one. Ii is at
tractive at sight, from its daiuti-
ly designed cover all through
its hundred and ffty-fve pages
OF clear, open type and charm
ing illustrations. An examina-
ton of it's contents will impress
one with it's value as a Nature
Reader for the little folks. The
form in which the Information
is given must appeal irresisti-

The child who is introduced

The Cod Liver Oil Question

No one will dispute the curative
and strength creating value of cod
liver oil. For centuries it has been
recognized as the grandest of all heal
ing and bodybuilding agents for vast
ed human strength and vitality.
Yet, owing to the heavy, greasy oil
which envelopes the medicinal ele-
ments. and which has no value either
as food or medicine, many patients
weakened by disease cannot digest il
either in its raw form or an emulsion,
and others will not take it on account
of its disagreeable odor and taste
consequently its value is lost.
Now, the process discovered by two
eminent French hemists-Morgues
and Gautier-should interest every
person in Aberdeen, for all of the
tonic, bodybuilding and curative ell
ements of cod liver oil are now sepa-
rated from the greasy, useless oil and
given to the people in delicious Vinol
For this reason it is fast superseding
old fashioned cod liver oil and emul-
sions.
AS body-builder and strength-cre-
tor for old people, weak women, del
icate children, and after sickness and
all pulmonary disease, it is recon-
mended by over 5000 of the leading
druggists of the United States as the
best.

Where Daniel Was.

An old negro preacher down IN
Georgia was delivering a sermon to
his congregation upon the subject
of Faith" During the course Of
his sermon, he alluded to Daniel
in de fey furnace. 2 Several times
he referred to Daniel being in the
fiery furnace, and finally wishing to
correct the old parson, one Of his
deacons, who was sitting over in the
Amen corner" arose and said;
'Parson Jones, you hab seperal

furnace, an l wish to correct you.
De straight of de matter is dis way.

The Pistol And The Pistol Toter.

Does a pistol in the hip pocket
prevent trouble?' Time was when
the truest and quickest shot was a
respected person in any community,
but from the record written in blood
by Mississippi's : young men during
the past week, it would seem that
pistol-toting is counting death
That the pistol is an evil is shown
from the state law, which taxes the
sale to a prohibitive degree and
fines the man caught with a gun.
The pistol may not be out Of
place as the means Of defending
ones own home, but there should
be stricter enforcement Of the law
against pistol-toters and pistol-tot-
ing.
The Richmond Wa.D Journal
says OF the revolver; Daniel B..
Wesson the revolver manufacturer,
left fortune Of $50, ,O00,0 900 Think
Of this much money being spent for
thing which has never been Of
any use, of little or no pleasure, and
which has done incalculable harm
to the American people. ''---
