An old game OF Greece and Rome

luid Frenchmen across the channel
have dubbed II diabolo, and in spite
or the name ii has made great prog.

In its general plan the game re.
sembles lawn tennis. 1t Is played on
somewhat similar courts, the pllnci-
cipal difference being that the net
is stretched through q neutral space
between the areas assigned to the
rival players.
The instruments Of the game are
wholly different. They consist of two
rods connected at their extremities by
a long cord and the rocketball or d.
abolo. which consists of two cones OF
cellulotd or other very light material
joined together at the apexes.
The object of the game is to toss
the rocketball to and fro from court
to court by means Of the rods ana
string. The player holds one rod in
each hand and picks up the rocket
ball by catching it at the narrow
part in the loop Of the string

Considerable skill is required to

The game shows signs of becoming
especially popular among women and
girls, and this it is said, is due to
its graceful motions and the pictur,
esque poses which the player is com
PEELED to assume.
Something of controversy has
started as TO the origin OF the game,
and the antiquarians say that traces

among the monuments of Greece and
Rome, wherein II was used to de-

it stops the cough because it
cures the cause

This is the season for coughs and
colds. and for the benefit Of Salem
people a member of the G. W. Put
man Co. tells them the best means
for a cure.
He says: Take Vinol. our real
cod liver preparation without oil.
1t does not upset the stomach like
cough syrups. and It is much more
effective. Vinol Is not a palliative
but a curative"
This is because Vinol contains In
highly concentrated form all Of
the healing. strength creating and
medicinal elements OF cod liver oil
actually taken from fresh Gods livers
with all the useless. neauseatine oil
eliminated and tonic iron added. 1t
tastes fine and canot upset the weak
est stomach. hence its wonderful
power TO cure.
We ask every person In Salem who
has a chonic cough or hard cold to
try Vinol on our guarantee. G. w.
Putnam Co., druggists.
Note.-While we are sole agents
for vinol in Salem. It 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.

said member of the upper house
while the second great bunch of at
taches were signing their names to
the payroll. ANY building which
will stand the pressure of this crowd
is safe enough for the legislature
This same senator. however, had
voted for Senator Leavitt's resolu-
tion, which opened the peoples purse
to the ravenous clutches OF 143 en-
ployes, most of them purely orna-
mental adjuncts of the session, at a
daily expense of $3.50, or $44,60e
for the session. This is in addition
to the forty-two attaches appointed
yesterday at an aggregate salary OF
$197 a day. And there are more to
follow.
The only senator who had the
courage to vote against the steal was
A. Caminetti, the Democrat member
from Jackson.
Caminetti Makes Protest.
"I cant stand for anything like
this" said Caminetti after he had
voted no. THE SIC a day that
used to be spent in uselss hangers

senator Just named, voted for Lea
Wits resolution.
On top of the jollihcation OF the
new members of the public bread
line came a chilling announcement
from Controller Nye. that he would
not allow attaches TO be paid from
the opening of the session, but only
from the day of their acutal appoint
ment, Notwithstanding the retroac'
tive resolution making the jobs date
from the opening day, which the leg

grophers." There is a possibility
they will be called upon to do some
thing for their S5 day, including
Sundays.
Newspaper men have also been
well treated. They have had work
less jobs thrust upon them and in at
least one case the law makers have
been so generous as to give a single
reporter two jobs, one in the senate
and one In the assembly.
II is roughly estimated that this
generosity will cost the state from
$125. 900 to $4,000, and the great
er portion OF the sum will be passed
out to attaches who do not do a lick
of work for the money and who are
not expected to.
Talk of Incompetence.
II is declared that nine out of
every ten clerks appointed are in
competent and that many OF them
can hardly write their names. This
is evidenced by their signatures at
tached TO their oaths of office. There
are more than 1870 OF these and the
list is not yet complete.
Then. there are assistant ser
geants-at-arms enough 10 NIL the as
sembly chamber. There are nearly
eighty OF them so far and II they all
sought accommodations in the cham
Der at the same time there would
be no room for the legislators. Some
of them laugh at the idea of doing
any harder work than drawing their
pay.
Job chasers have been here, have
been promised positions and have
gone away. after having been told
that they will be put on the payroll
at once. but that their titles will not
be given them until the legislature
can think up some new names for at
taches.
Senator Leayitt is sponsor for the
attack on the treasury in the senate
and assemblyman Long is his second
in the house. All Of the resolutions
naming the appointees have been
introduced by one or the other. So
far there has been but one feeble
voice against the adoption Of these
resolutions and IL did not count.
Relatives GET There.
The relatives OF the local repre-
sentatives In the legislature have
been able to fall into some of the
easy dollar jobs.

MRS. SADIE ABBOTT

Women for the most part spend
their lives at home, and 10 is these
women who are willing and ambitious
that their homes shall be kept neat
and pretty, their children well dressed
and tidy, who do their own cooking,
sweeping, dusting and often washing,
ironing and sewing for the entire
family, who call for our sympathy.
Truly the work of such woman
Is ''never done" and Is IL any wonder
that she breaks down at the end of n
few years, the back begins to ache,
there Is n displacement, inflammation
or liberation OF the abdominal organs,
n female weakness is brought on, and
the struggle OF that wife and mother
TO continue her duties is pitiful.
Lydia z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, made from native roots
and herbs, is the exact medicine n
woman needs whose strength Is over
taxed. IL keeps the feminine organs
in a strong and healthy condition.
In preparing for childbirth and re-
cuperating therefrom 1t is most efh-
cient. IL carries woman safely
through the change OF life sand in
making her strong and well assists
her TO be a good wife and mother.
Mrs. Sadie Abbott, of Jeanette,
Pa. writes
Dear Mrs Pinkham-
"T suffered severely with pain every
month and also a pain In my left side. My
doctor prescribed for me but did me no
good; friend advised Lydia r.. Pinkham's

advice and am perfectly well woman. The
