THE REASONABLE WAY

Strong, vigorous men, women and
children hardly ever catch cold-it's
only when your system is run down
and vitality low that colds and coughs
can get a foothold.
Now isn't it reasonable that the
right way to cure cough is to build
up your strength again?
Mr.. Patrick Wren of n. Birming-
ham, Ala. knows about this. He
says, L caught a bad cold year ago
and had a bad cough for long time.
but Vinol relieved it completely and
built up my health. Vinol is the best
medicine ! ever used or heard of for
coughs and colds
This splendid cod liver and iron
remedy does not smell or taste like
cod liver oil, but is so delicious that
children love to take it. Yet it has
the strengthening value of cod liver
oil, with tonic, bodybuilding iron
Chronic bronchitis yields to Ninol
because it builds up the system in all
weakened and rundown conditions
You can get your money back any
time if Vinol does not do all we say

The project, however, was still kept
alive by Mr.. Gardiner and others Of the
more sanguine ones and enough in

der Lieut.. Maeomb and reported in
ISIS. The report says: ''The object of
the proposed Cobbosseecontee canal is

covering a great extent of land and is
discharged by means of Dead river in
to the Androseoggin in the town OF
Leeds. Between the Great AndFoaeog-
gin and Wilson's pond are no natural
connections The report points out
that artificial connection between the
two streams could be secured by a cut
so feet deep. extending through three
quarters of a mile. The only difference
estimated between the old engineers
aud those of SO years later is in regard
to the length of the territory through
which the cut would have to extend.
The report cited the cost of the land
in the vicinity of the Cobbosseeeontee
stream as one of the objections for the
continuance of the canal into Gardiner,
but declared that the rest of the prop
ositien was entirely feasible.
Notwithstanding a favorable report.
no canal was built, but 2G years later
the Maine Legislature passed an act,
chartering a railroad to go over sub
stantidlly the same territory con-
templated by the proposed canal. This
railroad was to start from some point

QUICK, PAINLESS WAY
TO REMOVE HAIRS
Beauty Cultured

A chance discovery by noted chem
list has resulted in a new and harmless
way to remove hairy growths without
the least possible injury to the SKIN
A paste is made with ordinary pow
dered delatone and water and applied
to the hairs not wanted. After two or
three minutes this is rubbed off ana
with it comes every trace of hair the
skin is then washed and it is left white,
firm and smooth.
The delatone treatment for super
fluous hairs is so simple to use and so
quick in action that no one is justified
in employing the painful and costly
electric needle. Delatone costs a dol
lar for an original ounce package, and
is worth every cent. Any druggists
can supply 1t.
