SALVATION ARMY CAMPS
For Mothers and Children

Hundreds OF tired mothers and sick
ly children were given fresh air and
rest during the past summer by the
Salvation Army at its fresh air
camps.
There are many tired mothers who
have sickly children who were not
fortunate enough to be given such an
outing and we ask those mothers as
duty to themselves and their chill
dren to read the two following let
tiers:
Mrs. Rose Hawthorne Lathrop who
has done so much good among the
children OF New York City. says:
Little children seem to delight in
taking Vinol. In my work among
the destitute sick, ! give Vinol in
many cases where It would be impos-
sible to give cod liver oil in any other
form, on account of the extreme
weakness of the patients stomach. ]
have known Vinol to restore appel
tie and infuse new life in many ca
SEES of sick women and children when
everything else failed"
Mrs. c. w. Stump Canton, Ohio,
says: Il wish ! could induce every
mother who has a weak, sickly child
to try the delicious cod liver prepar-
alton. Vinol as 1t restored health
and strength to our daughter after
all else had failed"
Vinol is a boon to weak mothers
and sickly children. If il fails to
give satisfaction we will refund your
money w. l. Gokay, Druggist

In nearly all respects to glass lens
for light. 1t will be found that we can
focus sound waves in the following
manner:
Take a watch and place It some feet
away from one side of the lens and
put your ear on line with the watch
and the center OF the lens. but on the
other side. and move outward from the
lens. While moving out you cannot
hear the watch until you get to GER

FREAK SHADOWS IN OIL.
Explanation Of Phenomena Observed In
Petroleum Ponds,

Explanation Of Phenomena Observed In
Petroleum Ponds.
In the crude oil producing regions in
California there are scores of large
ponds of this material. After being
pumped to the surface the petroleum
Is emptied into depressions in the
earth, where 1t remains for a time.
Later the crude oil is placed in barrels,
large metal cans or else In big reser-
voirs. These oil ponds are known as
"sump holes"
There Is one very peculiar thing
about these 'sump holes" and that is
In the way Of producing what are
known as freak shadows" These are
real shadows; but. Notwithstanding
this fact, they are decidedly "freaky."
If the sun is brightly shining and a
person stands for few moments on
the margin Of the 'sump holes" 50 that
his shadow falls on the surface of the
petroleum and he then quickly changes
his position the dim shadow remains
just where II was originally cast. In
other words, the shadow does not fol-
low the substance"
This may seem like a paradox, but
it Is true. The instant person shifts
his position his shadow Is again cast
In new place, yet the former shadow
remains unchanged The longer per-
son stands In one particular spot the
longer will the former shadow be ylsl-
BILE
Hundreds Of experiments have been
made along these lines, and every tlme
the same results have been produced
The simple explanation for this phe-
nomenon Is that under the hot sun gas
is being constantly generated down in
the body Of the petroleum, and il rises
to the surface in the form OF little
minute bubbles. So very small are
these bubbles that they are scarcely
visible to the naked eye. Millions OF
these wee bubbles are rising TO the
top all OF the time, when the bubbles
break and the gas is liberated, passing
into the air.
Both the gas and bubbles are so
very representative to the temperature
that even ones shadow cast for mo-
ment across them Is affected. The
temperature Is lowered. Whenever the
substance quickly changes position the
shadow remains until the rays again
warm up that spot and the shadowy
outline slowly fades away or course
the freak shadows" may be seen for
only very few seconds.

VIII journals that expect to buy
their news paper cheaper when Can
adian reciprocity let's wood pulp in
free tell us why the same principles
is not going to reduce the price of
farm products and the revenues of
the Vermont farmer?-Randolph
Herald and News.
The insinuation that the newspa-
pers who support reciprocity do 1t
for a selfish reason is hardly worthy
of the usually fair Herald and News.
If we remember correctly it was the
Herald and News couple years ago
which was very warm in its resent
ment because somebody intimated it
was opposing the abolition of offsets
because 1t was directly interested
in them. There are some people of
narrow view and petty, selfish rea-
soning powers who think that any
body who disagrees with them is ac-
tuated by an Interior motive. They
are the fellows who do the most
damage and the least good in any
community for they are always OPP
posed to anything progressive lest
somebody else benefit by IT, The
Herald and News does not belong in
that class and we regret to see it
even inadvertently identify itself
with that element. The great bulk
of the supporters of reciprocity are
honest and unselfish and so are the
opponents. They merely see the
thing differently. Speaking for IT,
self alone, The Banner has no idea
that even absolutely free trade with
Canada would reduce either the
price of print paper or of farm prod
ucts. We have hopes that recipro-
city with Canada might prevent the
paper combination from forcing the
price any higher for few years. We
also hope that II might help stop the
transportation and cold storage com
panies from cornering food products
so that the farmers on the two sides
OF the line and the actual consumers
might both profit instead of the com
bines like the packing houses and
the railroads that now make an I'M
reasonable profit of both. Reciproc-
ity with Canada is not so important
in itself as It is a means toward an
end and that end is to help eliminate
the plutocracy from the control Of
the country.
