Japan has about he area Of Kansas

doesn't look as if she would need many
agricultural schools. does it? Most OF
her farms are 50 small that they would
about make u stack ward for one Of us.
Yet twenty-threc years ago. says a
japanese writer in Hoard's Dairymln.
Japan had six schools where farming
was taught And then came the TWEEN
ty years Of her most rapid progress
China was defeated in war and then
the mighty Russia The whole strength
of the nation was expended on those
things which would enable her to carry
the awful load of army. navy and
bonded debt And what became Of the
six agricultural schools?
Instead OF being allowed to dwindle
they have multiplied. until in 1905
there were in Japan 1875 agricultural
schools
In these schools were enrolled 1872

HOW old PEOPLE
Nav Prolong Their Lives

At an advanced age waste is more
rapid than repair. The organs act
more slowly and less effectually than
in youth, The circulation is poor, the
blood thin and ~atery, the appetite
poor and digestion weak.
We want to say to every aged per-
son in this vicinity that vinol, our de-
licious cod liver and iron tonic with
out oil) will prolong life. It creates
an appetite, aids digestion and makes
good blood In this natural manner
Vinol retards waste and replaces
weakness with strength, giving new
life to the worn system.
If people in this vicinity only real
lied how vinol invigorates old people
we would not be able to supply the
demand.
Try bottle Of Vinol with the un-
derstanding that your money win be
returned If it does not help you.
