Paper Money In Mexico.

In Mexico and other Latin American
countries there is no law against the
reproduction of the paper money of
the country for use as advertising, but
In the United States this is a felony,
and any one so doing would be prose
cuted under the laws Of the land for
counterfeiting the national currency
In Mexico imitation bills can be seen
at all times used for advertising pur-
poses, and, strange to say, they de
ceive no one, and the users of them do
not intend any deceit, though it would
seem to be an easy matter to pass
them on unlettered persons. Can it
be that Mexicans are more intelligent
or simply that few Of the iliterate
ever gain possession Of paper money ?

Henri Rousseau, man who used to
hold a minor government position in
France, was for a quarter of a cen
fury the joke Of artists and art students
In Paris. For years In the independ-
ent salon he showed daubs which
had not the most distant kinship with
art. Some Of his famous" pictures
were Lady on Sofa In a Jungle"
a ''Tiger In Jungle" "Nigger In
Jungle" lie affected Jungles, which
consisted Of innumerable parallel green
lines to represent grass; the tiger was
a painted wooden toy; the lady looked
as If she had come out of a Noah's
ark. The unfortunate Rousseau went
on exhibiting the same sort Of work
every year, and the painful thing was
that he gradually became a celebrity
Sinister humorists told him he had
genius and he took himself quite Sc
riously. II am real primitive" he
would say. Some practical jokers even
went the length OF buying his pictures

What the Bows Thounht.

A prominent educator talking to n
class In an elementary school he had
visited, decided to illustrate a point he
was making by a problem in long divi-
sion, the intricacies of which the class
had just mastered. He put down the
necessary figures and then said:
Now, let us see how many times
this number will go into the other. Let
US try six" He tried six, and, as he
intended, six wouldn't do. "Well, let's
try five, then he said Five was all
right, and he went ahead with his talk.
On his way home that evening he
overlook two small boys with book
bags under their arms and heard this
conversation:
Say, Bill, did long whiskered
baldheaded old Teller come into your
room today?"
yep" replied Bill
"And did he talk to your
yep" said Bill
"WelI; so he did to US, but the fun

r advanced age the organs act

lauon becomes poor, blood thin and
ratery, appetite fitul, and diges-
ton weak. This condition leaves
the system open to disease such as
Coughs, Colds, Grippe, Pneumo-

VINOL is the greatest health
creator and body builder we know
of for old people, as it supplies
the very elements needed to re-

weakness with strength.

A case Is recorded In Albany, N. v. Of
a woman who felt she was breaking
down by age and was doomed TO the
weak and feeble condition of old people,
She had no strength and the slightest ex-
ertIon tired her, but VINOL made her
well and strong, and she states that she
feels ten years younger than she did be-

that we will return their money if it
