THE COLD BATH.
Many Men Say They Like II, but They
Don't Like IL.

In paper read at a meeting of an
association for the study of tubercu
losis an eminent doctor said that one
Of the curious facts connected with the
practice of the cold bath in the morn
ing is that so many of its votaries pos
itively declare that they enjoy 1t. He
contends that they do not and cannot
enjoy it. The doctor is doubtless right
as far as he goes, but he does not go
far enough. He misses the main point,
perhaps the only point worth empha'
sizing.
There Is abundant reason to believe
that the most curious fact connected
with the cold bath In the morning Is
that so many people who insist that
they enjoy 1t do not take it. There Is
vicarious atonement, and there Is also
vicarious bathing, and it is a very easy
matter to enjoy bath that is not tax
en-, the bath Of somebody else. Almost
anybody gifted with little magma
ton can sing the praises Of a cold bath
in the morning There are the pleasu-
rable, even delightful, shudders Of the
first dip and splash; the brisk rub with
a coarse crash towel; the warm, health
giving glow; the new man feeling, ex-
hilarating, uplifting, as one gets into
his attire for the days work, and,
above all, the sense Of cleanliness i'm
parted by the cold bath every morning.
And it Is equally easy to take cold
bath every morning. 1t only remains
to turn ON the hot water faucet and
enter the tub. Or both faucets may be
turned on and, without entering the
tub, one may stir the water violently
with his hands, draw long breaths and
SILVER, not perceptlbly, but audibly.
1t will all sound remarkably lifelike,
this performance, wonderfully like TAX
ing a cold bath. Even an alert and sus-
picious sentinel, stationed at the door,
his ear delicately attuned to what Is
going on within, may be readily de-
ceived by the cold bath in the morning.
Contemplate, some broiling August
forenoon, the man who tells you that
he fairly revels in the cold bath on
winter mornings as he glngerly steers
his bare feet through the ripples that
are lazily tapping the beach at a shore
resort and believe In him and trust
him If you can. Watch him advance
as if he were going to meet his doom,
hesitate, glance shoreward longingly.
retreat, immersing himself slowly, re-
luctantly, inch by inch. Suddenly he
remembers that he must wet his head
If he would avoid a chill, and he pauses
to shampoo his hair in the sad sen
waves-this hero of thousand frigid
baths on a thousand frozen mornings!
AS a matter of fact what man may
do alone with his sponge in his bath
room no other man may know, and
what he pretends he does may be as
"false as dlcers' oaths." -Provldence

bones to crack under the table or feed

The REASON
Why z. Wayne Griffin & Bro.
Continue to Recon-
mend Vinol.

First: Because 1t is not a patent
medicine and it contains besides ton
ic iron all of the medicinal curative
elements of cod liver oil actually
taken from fresh Gods livers, but
without a drop of oil to nauseate and
upset the stomach and retard its work /;
therefore, wherever old-fashioned cod
liver oil or emulsions will do good,
Vinol will do far more good
Second: BecauseVinol acts first up
ON the stomach, creates a healthy ap-
petite, strengthens and tones up the
digestive organs. purifies and enriches
the blood, and, in natural manner,
restores health and strength.
Third: Because Vinol contains no
injurious drugs to react upon the sys-
TEN; every ingredient being named on
the label,a patient knows exactly what
he is taking.
Fourth: Because we never sold any
thing in our store that gave such uni
versal satisfaction for old people, weak,
sickly women and children, nursing
mothers, and to build up the system
after a severe sickness, and for re-
lieying hacking coughs, chronic colds,
bronchitis and all throat and lung
troubles.
Try Vlnol on our guarantee. u.
Wayne Griffin e Bro, Druggists.
NOTE.-WhiIe we are sole agents
for Vinol in Hartford, 1t is now for
sale at the leading drug store in
nearly every town and city in the
country. Look for the Vinol agency in
your town.

S0MR NOVEL METHODS
USED BY FIRE BUGS"
In Carrying Out Their Pur-
pOSeS-A Few Causes
of IncendiariSm.

Some of the novel methods used by
incendiaries in touching Off build
ings have been observed by a promi-
nent inspector. They are more subtle
than the crude plans of old and serve
to cover up or obIiterate all evidences
of guilt.
One method practiced in one city
especially is to put a kerosene lamp
on a table. Attached to the lamp is q
a table. Attached to the lamp is
string and 70 the end of the string
is a piece Of meat. A cat or dog
is left in the room. Later the Fire
Department is called.
Another clever device is to take out
the gong or bell from an alarm clock.
The clock is set 70 go off at cer-
tain hour. A bundle of matches is
tied around the clapper. A piece Of
sandpaper is mounted over the
matches. When the alarm goes off
the matches strike and fire catches to
inflammable material.
A mixture of asphaltum varnish with
turpentine and linseed oil was used
in one notable case instead of the old
fashioned and time-honored kerosene.
This made a hot, rapid fire. The COM
pound burning gives off fume of il
Illuminating gas and gas fire was first
suspected. Careful investigation how
ever, revealed part of a curtain sat
urated with the mixture and also two
pots of it only partially destroyed.
Certain chemical preparations, such
as phosphorus and metallic sodium,
are said to be used, and detection is
practically impossible.
One fire was caused by having an
alarm clock, charged wire and me-
tallic plate. The alarm bell pulled
the wire over the plate, causing an
arc. Inflammable material was close
by and the results can be imagined.
One of the more common methods
is to have bladder filled with gaso-
line suspended over a lamp or gas
jet.
Wood ashes soaked with kerosene
is employed in some cases. This ig-
mites easily and is usually put under
the steps of a house.

Dogs and Drinking Water.

Who has not at some time or other
envied the impunity with which dog
drinks brackish water that no human
being dare touch? Civilized communi-
ties have solved the problem of pure
water supply so completely that they
cannot get on without pure water.
Dogs by elimination Of those most
readily poisoned by bad water have
become as a race immune to bad wa
ter. In this case the checking of nat
ural selection does not matter, because
the supply of good water can probably
always be secured.-London Post.

Barber No. 2765, the we'll known
German Coach Stallion, will make
the season of 1907 at $4,000 twenty
dollars to insure a colt to stand up
and suck, money due when the fact
is ascertained or the mare transferr-
ed. Barber will be found at Hartford
Fair ground on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday of each week, Centertown,
KY, on Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day.
AS a coach horse, Barber has no
superior in the State, and we think
this is the horse the farmers need, as
it becomes necessary for them to
patronize a large breeder and raise
large stock, for this is what the mar
ket demands, and If you have some
thing that suits the market, you
have no trouble in selling it. Barber
served 70 mares last season and must
make 100 this season.
AS to BARRIERS natural style, size,
action, color, individuality and his
extra gentle and sensible qualities,
which he transmits to his offspring,
and his far superior breeding quail
ties, proof of which Is established by
him, being thoroughbred in every re-
spect, We feel safe in saying to one
and all that, all things considered,
we regard him by far the best stall
lion in the State for all classes of
mares.
Barber is red bay, years old, ex-
ira fine set of black legs and splen-
did feet, over 16 hands high, weighs
in medium flesh 1850 pounds, has
good disposition as family horse and
is as sound as a silver dollar. We
will gladly do business with our old
patrons and hope to have many new
ones with good mares this season.
Ask to see him when in town. Care
taken to prevent accidents, but not
responsible should any occur.
We will on September /, 1908, offer
a premium of $4,000 In gold to the
owners of three of the best colts
sired by Barber 2765, In the season
of 19O7-$25.00 to the first, Is to
the second and $1,000 to the third.

Another pecunarrCy or the rrog is
that it will seldom touch a dead
carcass. The beetle or other insect
must move before the frog will
touch it.
There is one other species of the
eatable frog that Is known as the
spring frog. 1t grows In the spring
on farms and ranches and is consid-
cred to be more palatable than the
bull frog, but is smaller. Farmers
who have these frogs In their springs
reuse to allow them to be killed,
claiming that they purify the water.
This makes them harder to get and
they are more expensive than the
other variety.
The tree, or marsh frog, is noted
as being one of the best weather
prophets that lives. He always cries
before rain. He is about three
inches in length, but is not fit for
for food. Some are sold as weather
prophets, but the demand does not
pay one to raise them.
The last of the common species is
the horned frog. 1t lives in the
Southwest on the dry, arid regions of
Arizona, Utah and New Mexico, and
lives on desert mice and insects.
They have never been known to
drink water and. like the toad, is
gosd foT nothing.
