GROWING CHILDREN

play hard and work hard at school
and rapid growth uses up an enorm-
Gus amount of energy and vitality that
needs replacing.
This accounts for the many deli
cate, sickly and ailing children we
see on our streets.
We wish the mother Of every such
child would come to our store for a
bottle of VinoI, as it is a delicious
cod liver and iron tonic, which chill
dren love to take, and it is easily as
simulated.
A grateful mother in Durand, Mich,
says here little girl was weak, pale,
and had no appetite. She gave her
Vinol and she began to thrive at
once-and she gained rapidly in
weight, color and strength. Name
furnished on request)
Vinol builds up cool healthy flesh
and muscle tissue and makes thin lit
tie limbs round and plump
Try a bottle of Vinol with the IN
derstanding that if it does not bene-
fit your child your money will be re-
turned. Dodson's Pharmacy.

THEY SWELLED
THE PRESENTS
Now the Story Comes Out in
Divorce Suit

New York, April 21.-Frances Col
gate Dale, a young broker, who was
left fortune in stocks and bonds just
before he married Lillian Patterson,
daughter of DR. and Mrs. Newell Pat
terson, of 81 West Fiftieth street, New
York, explained on yesterday in the
supreme court how his mother-in-law
"swelled" the list of presents exhibited
10 her daughters friends prior to the
wedding.
Mrs Da,e, the 22-year-old bride, was
in court to press the action she has
brought to recover certain jewelry she
says her husband gave her as wedding
presents Dale took the jewelry from
safe deposit vault His wife wants
it returned, or $1,000 in place of it
81 never gave my wife the jewelry, .
Dale told Justice Gavegan. q took it
away from our safe deposit box be-
cause of the sentimental value attach
ed to it. 1t was my mothers jewel7y
and my wife threatened to pawn it.
You don't mean that you'd pawn my
mothers jewelry, do your l asked her
when she made the threat She said
she would if I didn't let her have the
money she wanted. l was then giving
her $175 a month and extra money be-
sides"
Wasn't this jewelry exhibited
among your brides wedding presents? %
Mrs Dales lawyer demanded.
1T was put on the table with the
presents. My wife told me her mother
was putting some of her own things
on the table with the presents just 70
swell the list, and asked me to exhibit
my dead mothers jewels also. l told
her it was ridiculous thing to do, but
consented to please her"
The jewels include a $500 Oriental
brooch, surrounded with diamonds and
pearls; a pair of dagger pins, worth
$50, and a cameo button and other gold
ornaments. Dale was asked if he ever
gave his wife other jewels before or
after their marriage, and he named
several gifts he had made to her. These
included a solitaire ring, gold mesh
bag, jeweled lorgnette, chain and OPP
ais, pear pendant necklace, topaz lay-
alliere, and pearl ring surrounded with
diamonds
Mrs Dale intimated in her testimony
that her husband took her safety de-
post box key from her keyring prior
to opening the safety deposit box that
contained the jewels, but he explained
that the box was hired jointly by him
self and his wife, and that he opened
It with his own key
Mrs Dale has also filed a suit for
separation, alleging that her husband
abandoned her He prefers a similar
charge against her, and also alleges
that she was so extravagant that it
cost him $4,000 for the first six
months of their married life. He also
says her parents tried to spend his
money for him

Catarrh being a constitutional disease, re-
quires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur

Through a Big Telescope.

The first look through a great tele-
scope is disappointing. but the novice
soons sees that the fiat appearance
which the heavens present TO the
naked eye is replaced by a curious con-
cavity; the moon and stars seem to be
hung I'm space rather than spread out
on fat surface. For a moment one
feels at the telescope like a child
watching the swift moving balls kept
In the air by a juggler and expecting
to see one Of those great, bright bodies
fall Then comes the thought, What
keeps them there, apparently suspend
ed In space with absolutely nothing to
hold them firm? The explanation Of
the learned astronomer causes the
brain of the layman to whirl, and he
sees himself, perhaps for the first
time, as a child gathering pebbles on
the great shores of the sea of knowl-
edge or as IAN infant in the night, an
infant crying for the light, and with no
language but a cry."-National Maya

Bituminous Coal.

The first bituminous coal mined In
the United States. states the United
States geological survey, was taken
from what is usually termed the Rich
mOnd basin. a small area IL the south
eastern portion Of Virginia. near the
city of Richmond. This basin is stu
ated on the eastern margin Of the
Piedmont plateau, thirteen miles above
tidewater, on the james river. 1t lies
IN Goochland. Henrjco. Powhatan and
Chesterfield counties. The coal beds
are much distorted, and the coal is of
rather low grade when compared with
that from other districts with which
it has to come into competition. The
occurrence Of coal was known in the
Richmond basin MS early as 100, and
in 1889 shipments were made to some
Of the northern states. At present
what little coal is produced In this
field is for local consumption only

Movement of Icebero..

In the investigation of the currents
round the coast Of Newfoundland 1t
has been observed that there is at
times wide difference IN the direction
OF the drift Of icebergs and that of the
fat or pan Ice, which. having no great
depth, is governed In its motions by
the surface currents and the winds,
whereas the icebergs, the larger parts
Of which are submerged to a great
depth. follow only the movement of
the ocean water as a whole and are
uninfuenced by the winds. In conse-
quence q huge berg may often be
seen majestically maintaining its slow
advance In opposition to the wind and
across the general motion Of the fields
Of fiat ice surrounding it. The sealers
often take advantage OF this fact by
moorlng their vessels to an iceberg
In order to prevent a drift to leeward.
