Your Delicate Child May Be
Restored 10 Health by Vino|,
Read The Following Letter
From a Canton, o., Mother,

Il wish could induce every mother
who has a weak, sickly child to try
that delicious cod liver preparation
Vinol. Our little daughter was pale
thin and sickly, She had no appetite
and no ambition
I'VE tried various medicines, but
without any benefit whatever, and she
could not take cod liver oil or emul-
sions. as they nauseated her and up.
set her stomach.
Learning that Vinol contains all
the medicinal and misunderstanding
properties Of cod liver oil, but with.
out the disagreeable oil, and tonic
iron added, We decided to try 1t, and
the results were marvellous. II gave
her a hearty appetite; the color re-
turned to her cheeks and she is
stronger and in better health than
she has been for years,
Il cannot say enough in favor Of
Vinol for weak, delicate children
Mrs. c. W. Stump, Canton, o.
There Is nothing equal to Vinol for
delicate, ailing children and feeble
old people to build up strength and
restore normal, healthy condition
Those who try it and receive no ben.
eft may have their money returned
on demand-that's your guarantee,

A GLASSLESS LAND.
rom the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
 Until recent times the uses of glass. ex- cept in the form of enamel and small ornaments, were unknown in Japan. When the first railway cars were intro duced passengers used to break the win dow glass with their heads, so unused were they to this feature; and finally de- signs were painted on the panes to show that the sashes were not empty. Instead of looking glasses most of the Japanese formerly used placid water. Only the wealthy had mirrors and these were of polished metal. Glass is now used in quantity, of course, but although there are factories in several large cities, notably at Osaka, almost all of it is im- ported, and enormous reserve stocks are always kept at Tolkio and Yokohama. During this past year, however. impor- tations have fallen off-presumably an in dication that the native glass factories are picking up. The use of glass for drinking vessels in still rare, porcelain and lacquered wood being preferred.

An Urgent Call

The Birmingham Music Festival and Floral association has planned grand event for the first week in May. Music festivals of high artistic merit there have been in the past, but the one pro jected for this year will far su-pass in magnitude anything attempted here hitherto.
 The executive committee has de- cided that in order to make the festival a business success the sum of $5OOO must be subscribed before the associa- ton signs a contract with the Dam- rosch orchestra And whatever-is done in the way of raising the money must be done before the end of the present week.
 It is proposed to hold a three days festival, embracing five grand per formances, and in addition one orches- tral entertainment complimentary to the school children of Birmingham There are thousands of music lovers in this city, and thousands more through. out Alabama who are eager to attend the festival; but the executive com mittee has decided to receive sub scriptions of not less than $50. It is urged therefore that all persons inter- ested in high-class music and in this projected festival in particular go for ward and subscribe. Secretary J. B.. Babb of the Commercial club has the list and it is hoped that the total amount needed will have been raised by Tuesday. Unless the money is in sight there will be no festival here but the people of Birmingham who enjoy festival music will be accorded a cheap rate to Atlanta Damrosch will conduct four days festival in Atlanta the last week in April.

LONGEVITY AMONG JEWS.
from the Hygienic Gazette.

From the Hygfenic Gazette.
 Superficial scrutiny of the vital statis- tics yields the Jew a prominent position in the sanitary world. if longevity serves as an index of hygienic living. With the average length of life for all Christian people placed at S6 years Il months Q900) the Jew may hope to reach 4s years 9 months.
 Neuville QSS5), inquiring into the com parative duration of life and causes of death of Jews and Christians in Frank fort, learned that one-fourth of the Jew ish population was living beyond n years, while only one-fourth of their neighbors was living beyond the age of 59 years 10 months. Abbott claims that they d. e., Jews) are much less frequently the subjects of tuberculosis and acute epi- demic diseases than any other race of mankind"
 Why should this seeming vital superior ity exist? According to Richardson, the causes are simply summed up in the term soberness of life The Jew drinks less than his even Christian; he takes, as a rule, better food; he marries earlier; he rears the children he has brought into the world with greater personal care he tends the aged more thoughtfully; he takes better care of himself" To this might be added that through religious customs hygienic tendencies become an inheritance.

0Verfeeding Worse Than 0Verdrlnkins

The modern doctors teach not only that the wages of sin are illness and death, but that overfeeding is crime Those who overload their stomachs in- vite as many disease germs as do those who are underfed and neglected. The extent of the evil of overfeeding is i'm perfectly understood, there being few indeed who are not guilty of spells of it. The continuous overfeeder does not live long. The occasional violator may survive a considerable time if his lapses to reasonable rules of diet are long and frequent.
 The more the physicians explain the dangers of overlooking the sooner we will reach low death rate, for noth- ing is more detrimental to physical welfare and mental activity than over feeding. The gospel of moderation should be taught on every occasion by all who have the public ear. It should be taught in the schools, in the churches, in the lyceums and wherever else men stand ready to hear the truth and to make good use of it.

Locomotive Works for the South

The Manufacturers Record again calls attention to the fact that the American Locomotive company has ten plants, not one of which is in the cot ton belt. The locomotives of the coun- try are made in great part at the Bald win plant in Philadelphia and by the ten plants of the American Locomotive company, one of which Is located at Richmond, outside of the cotton belt.
 When the fact is considered that this section of the country has more than S0,000 miles of railroad, and that rail- road construction is progressing rap idly in the southwest, the need of an other locomotive plant in the south is appreciated at once. This section has the raw materials. It has fuel. It has everything that would render locomo- tive construction economical. Would it not be well therefore" says the Manufacturers Record, flor the Ameri- can Locomotive power, or others, to consider carefully the advantages to be derived from the establishment of another locomotive works at some point in the south, where most of the railroad building to be accomplished in the United States during the next ten years is to be done? The south Gin cluding Missouri and Oklahoma as practically southern states) built dur ing 1908 very nearly 55 per cent of the new railroad mileage constructed in that year in the United States, and there is every probability that this sec tion of the country will continue dur ing the next decade to build annually between 50 and 50 per cent of the new mileage"
