Restoring Woodwork.

Faded spots in hard wood from heat,
light or the touch Of too strong alkalis
can be brought back to their original
color by repeated gentle rubblngs with
boiled linseed oil mixed with one
eighth of alcohol. Rub two or three
times each day. using clean silk or
linen swab each time. Make swabs by
rolling fine cotton batting into tight
small balls and tying a ball In a square
of cloth. The loose cloth ends form a
handle. Throw away swabs as soon as
they get hard or dirty.

A CRAZY MAN

All-People are Amazed.
A crazy man was recently found
eating an egg, shell and all and 1t was
declared additional proof of his in
sanity, as every one realizes that the
shell of an egg has no food value, and
is both indigestible and injurious. 1t
is lust as crazy for a sane person to
swallow a lot of cod liver oil to get
the benefit of the medicinal elements
contained therein, as for the crazy
man to eat the egg, shell and all.
Scientists agree that the oil or
greasy part of cod liver oil has no
medicinal value whatever, and only
upsets the stomach and retards re-
covery, but it Is the medicinal ele-
ments enveloped in the Gods Evers
and their oil which represent all the
tonic and curative power of that ia
nous old remedy.
Vinol contains all the medicinal,
curative elements of cod liver oil,
but is entirely free from oil, and is
therefore, the best strength creator
and tonic reconstructer possible to
obtain.
The reason Vinol is so far superior
to the old fashioned cod liver oil and
emulsions Ii because 1t is made by
scientific, attractive and ooncentra-
ting process from fresh Gods livers.
combining with peptonate Of iron all
the med icinal, healing, body building

Birminghama Oct 37.-(Epecial.l l--- Birrninghanl's iron man, Vulcan" who did such great service at the St Louis exposition advertising this district, will make the trip to the Alaska-Yu- kon- Pacific Exposition. to be held In Seattle in 1908,
 James A. wood. City Editor of The Seattle Times, and Commissioner Gen. eral of the Exposition to be given In Seattle, spent the past week in Bir- r,1inghafn and he made bid for the big iron man. The President of the Bir- nningham Commercial Club and others interested in Vulcan" held meeting at which a formal request was made by Mir. Wood for the big iron fellow and the same was given consideration. The proposition made by the local men is that the exposition folks load and carfx 'svulcan~ to the exposition. give him a prominent place there and then reload him and ship him back without cost to the Birmingham people. The proposition will be submitted by MT. Wood to the officials and in all probability the proposition will be ac- cepted.
 while here MT. wood went out to the Fair grounds and looked the big man over. vulcan made a big hit at the St. Louis Exposition. He was so tall that he could hardly get into the build ing where he was placed. The Bir- mingham district got lot of adver- tising out of the iron man and every exposition seeks the statue as 6 fea. ture. A mineral display will also be sent to the Seattle Exposition from Birmingham.
