OLD AGE Dspsnds Not Upon Years, but Upon Vital Force.

At the recent Convention of Physi- clans there was a good deal of discus sion in regard to old age and the use- fitness of persons over sixty years old. Some at fifty call themselves old. and really appear so. while others at sev- enty years seem active, vigorous and young.
 It was the opinion that 1t was not years but the loss of vital force that makes a person old. Weakened diges- tion, thin blood and poor circulation" soon start functional powers and vital ity on the wane, and then the symp- toms of old age quickly appear. as tho system then has not the power to re- place waste fast enough.
 Our well-known druggist, Mir. E. G Fowler. says: That old feeling ma be warded off and overcome, and we wish every person in Montgomery whc feels old. whether they are so in years or not, would try our cod liver prepa- ration, Vinol. We know that 1t has vital properties which repairs worn tis- sues, checks the natural decline and re- places weakness with strength. It IS an ideal body builder for old folks"
 This Is because Vinol Is a genuine cod liver medicine, containing all the medicinal curatives and strength -mak- ing elements of cod liver oil taken direct from fresh cod flyers. with tonia iron added We will return your money if it does not do exactly what we claim for It. E. G. Fowler, Druggist.
 Note.-While we are sole agents for Vinol in Montgomery. 1t Is now for sal |, at the leading drug stores in neariy every town and city in the country. Look for the Vinol agency in your town.

FIGHTING BOB HAD THE FACTS.

 Speaks Ky the Book.

 Harpers Weekly
 The naval review at Oyster Bay. be- cause 1t was commanded by Admiral Robley D. Evans perhaps. recalls an incident of the Spanish American war which has not before been written about. It may be that its recital at this time will help to show how aG- curate d man is this officer. who has suffered somewhat from false concep- tion of his character
 Admiral Sampson had determined to begin the war by the bombardment of Havana, and on April 4. 1898, Evans. then captain. wrote letter to the then editor of Harpers Weekly containing this paragraphs:
 T shall have the honor of leading in the Iowa. and when we open. at about 800 yards with Indiana close astern, 1T those poor chaps from the Maine don't giggle in their collins it will be a won
 This was the pregnant part of the letter. Sampson was forbidden from Washington to attack Havana. much to his disappointment and wrath. To one sitting at a distance. not know ing Evans ard knowing of the propos- ed bombardment only as rumor, the letter might have semed bit of blus-
 But after a few months chance put the logbook of the New York. the flag ship, in the way of the recipient of the letter, and here he read Sampson's or der for the bombardment of Havana giving the order of the ships and des- ignating the distance at which the fr- ing should begin, precisely as Evans had entered them In the letter.
 But why go in to within 800 yards of the new forts. which were much more heavily armed that the ships Of Sampsons fleet? Months after reading the logbook the recipient of the letter attended dinner given in honor of Ad- miral Sampson.
 The Admiral made there one of the few speeches of his life, and in 1t he told the reason-a reason characteristic of his keen Judgment and of his bold ness-for selecting 800 yards. He had found out that short time before the Spaniards had momentarily awak- ened from their usual torpor and had practiced from the new works. fir. ing at floating targets They had float ed these targets past their guns at B. 900 yards.
 Sampson at once concluded that they supposed he would attack at that dis tance and quickly determined to go in at 800 yards. for, he explained. the Spaniards having once fixed their sights for a target 5000 yards away, would not be able to change them, but would fire over his ships until he had dihmounted their heavy pieces with his rapid fire guns. So the chain was com pleted, for we had the facts and the reasons for them.
