The first strong external revela-
ton of the dry rot in men is a tend
ency to Turk and lounge, to be at
street corners without ineligible
reason, to be going anywhere when
met, to be about many places rath-
er than at any, to do nothing tangi-
bic, but to have an intention of per
forming variety of intangible du-
ties tomorrow or the day after.
When the manifestation of the dis
ease is observed the observer will
usually connect it with a vague i'm
preston once formed or received
that the patient was living little
too hard. He will scarcely have
had leisure to turn it over in his
mind and form the terrible suspi-
cion "dry rot" when he will notice
a change for the worse in the pa
tents appearance certain SLOW
eniness and deterioration which
is not poverty nor dirt nor intoxi-
cation nor i'll health, but simply
dry rot. "-Roanoke Times.

MARIETTA PEOPLE
With Chronic Coughs Need VinOl. II
Stops the Cough and Cures the Cause.

This is the season for coughs and
colds, and for the benefit of Marietta
people, member of the firm of @. M
Crosby & Co., our local druggists, tells
them the best means for cure.
He says: Take Vinol, our real cod
liver preparation without oil. 1t does
not upset the stomach like syrups, and
it is much more effective. Vinol is not
palliative, but curative"
This is because Vinol contains in q
highly concentrated form all of the
healing, strengthening and medici-
nal elements of cod liver oil actually
taken from fresh Gods livers, with all
the useless, nausesting oil eliminated
and tonic iron added. 1t tastes fine
and cannot upset the weakest stomach
hence its wonderful power to cure
We ask every person in Marietta who
has chronic cough or hard coal to try
Vlnol on our guarantee. G. NJ. Crosby
& Co., druggists, Marietta, Ga.

the men found the pocket and ex-
tracted its contents.
At Columbus circle the woman,
unaware of her loss, pushed into the
car and found a seat. Presently the

disturbed by a burst of hilarity on

The woman listened inattentive-

reference to. She nearly collapsed

A DARING MOVEMENT.
Executed In a Notable Battle OF ttso
Mexican War.

w AZ
Long odds mean little to the
average United States soldier. Zach
airy Taylor and Els little "arny OF
occupation" after marching into
the heart of Mexico against over
whelmingly superior numbers,
achieved the apparently impossible
time after time and scored victory
after victory.
One night while his exhausted
soldiers were taking their well earn
ed rest General Worth was planning
a daring movement for the capture
of the heights above the bishops
palace. The strength of that posi-
ton was great and all its approaches
so carefully guarded that the only
hope of success appeared to lie in
a secret and rapid move during the
quiet hour just preceding the dawn.
Lieutenant Colonel Childs, with
six companies and 200 carefully Sc
lected Texas rangers, was chosen for
the dangerous honor of opening
way to the heights above At 3
o'clock on the morning of the 22d
September, 1S46), their movements
etfectually yelled by a dense fog and
the sound of their advance deaden-
ed by the constant patter of a cold
rain, the little column moved for
ward, guided by Saunders and
Meade, who knew the exact location
and character of the narrow path
which they were to follow up the
steep dechvity.
Orders had been issued that the
strictest silence should be observed,
and without a whisper the men be-
gan the difficult ascent, no man see
ing his fellows, so dense was the
blackness of the night. Over half
the ascent had been accomplished
when the ears of the watchful senti-
nels at the summit caught the
sound of tin canteens rafting
against the harness of lahoring reg
/ ulars.
Instantly the alarm was given,
followed by the flash Of musketry,
which warned General Worth that
his secret move had been discovered
At first no answering shot, however,
came from the dark slope, where
regulars and rangers, crouching
low among the rocks and brush
wood, toiled steadily upward.
Then the anxious watchers on the
Saltillo road, General Worth and
his detachment, heard the sharp
crack of the Texas rifles and knew
that the height had been gained.
Re-enforcements were instantly dis
| patched, dragging, or rather lifting,
behind them a twelve FOUNDER how
itzer.
They reached the summit to find
the works in the possession of Colo
mel Childs. The Mexicans had stub.
bornly held their position until the
storming party had mounted the
breastworks with fixed bayonets,
when, panic stricken, they fled pre-
cipitately to the shelter of the bish-
ops palace. = Metropolitan Maya
