You Look So Well

Just say that to a woman and see
her eyes sparkle with pleasure. She
knows there is no beauty like the
beauty OF health.
Unfortunately, at this time Of year
so many women are In weakened
rundown condition that there are
few to whom one can say It.
Mrs. c. Langan, 1854 Anthony Ave
New York City, says in a letter: my
health began to run down two years
ago, and from that time till last
April. ! was in a badly weakened
condition with little energy and poor
appetite. Having heard so much
about Vinol began taking II and al

all my friends notice great influ

former strength-thlnks to Vinol.
This delicious cod liver and iron
remedy without oil, is of the great
est value in creating strength, res
toring appetite and building up the
body. Pale. sickly women, overwork
ed men, feeble old folks and delicate
children all need Il, and we positive
ly guarantee Vinol to give satsfac

But It is a Peaceful Contest in the
Courts This Time.
Washington. May BY decis-
ion in which the Supreme Court
bluntly said today that the Constitu-
ton casts its protecting arm over the
Indian as much as 1t does over the
white man, and that the vested rights
of an Indian are as sacred as those
of white man, the following things
will happen in Oklahoma.
Nearly half the privately owned
land of the state will be exempt from
taxation until about 1926.
The State and counties will have
to refund about 100000 in taxes un-
lawfully collected on Indian lands.
The State will lose about $4,000
600 year in taxes.
The Indians will get $60,000,0 0O
worth of lands exempted from taxa
tion for the next fourteen years.
Many counties which have had
trouble in getting along with the tax
derived from Indian lands will yir
tually be forced into bankruptcy
Members of the Oklahoma delega
ton in Congress are not willing t
admit that the State has been hit sc
hard. Senator Gore says that The
loss to the State is exaggerated be
cause the tax exemption supplies on
ly the land while it is in the hands
of the original allottees whereas
much of the land has been sold by
the Indians and thus has become
taxable. The senator has written t
Gov. Cruce for exact data as to tbs
amount of land affected by the decis
| ion.

The young mother-and many an old enc, too--is often puzzled to know the cause of her child's i'll nature. The loudness of it's crying does not necessarily indicate the seriousness of it's trouble. It may have nothing mere the matter with it than head ache or a feeling of general dullness. It cannot of course, describe it's feel ings, but as preliminary measure you are safe in trying mild laX.e1ve.
 Nine times out of ten, you will find it is all the child needs, for it's rest lessness and peevishness are perhaps due to obstruction of the bowels, and once that has been remedied the head ache, the sluggishness and the many other evidences of constipation and indigestion will quickly dlsapp.dr.
