A MESSAGE TO WOMEN
Who are Gust Ready to Drop"

When you are "just ready to drop"
when you feel so weak that you can
hardly drag yourself about-and be-
cause you have not slept well, you
get up as tired-out next morning as
when you went to bed, then you need
help right away.
Miss Lea Dumas writes from Ma
lone, N. Y, saying: 81 was in a badly
rundown condition for several weeks,
but two bottles of Vinol put me on
my feet again and made me strong
and we'll. Vinol has done me more
good than all the other medicine I
ever took"
If the careworn, haggard men and
women, the pale, sickly children and
feeble old folks around here would
follow Miss Dumas example. they,
too, would soon be able to say that
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron
remedy had built them up and made
them strong.
1t Is a wonderfully Strengthening
and invigorating body-builder, and we
sell 1t under an ironclad guarantee
of satisfaction. You get your money
back If Vinol does not help you.

Why December 25 Was Chosen.

Augustine deemed the festival of
Christmas as being Of later origin and
lesser authority than those of Easter,
the Ascension and Whltsuntide. When
efforts were first made to fix the exact
date of the Advent there were, as stated
by Clement of Alexandria, some who
advocated the goth of May, and others
who contended for the goth or 21st of
April. The Oriental Christians were
very generally OF opinion that both the
birth and baptism OF Jesus took place
on the 9th Of January. Julian !, Bishop
of Rome from the year 337 to 352,
inclined to the belief that the Saviour's
birth took place on the 25th OF Deem
Der, and held out until the Eastern
churches adopted the same view. 1t hav-
ing been the custom Of various nations
to observe a season of rejoicing when
the shortest day passed, they very read
lily adopted the Christmas festival as
fixed for December 25 Roman converts
soon introduced into the keeping OF
Christmas the customs OF the Saturnalia
which, in modified form, survive even to
this day.

Dispatches telling OF one of his Vermont
speeches relate this incident:
Mr. Garfield viii tell you at the very time
the Standard OIL contribution was offered to
help along my 1904 campaign we had taken
the preliminary steps in our prosecution
against that corporation Roosevelt exclaimed
to the crowds At Bennington and other stops.
Turning to Garfield, he asked expectantly:
isn't that 70, Garneld!'
THE former cabinet member, taking the
cue, would nod his head afhrmatively And
we went straight ahead with it. Roosevelt
went on triumphantly.
81 never allowed myself to be governed by
any mallgn influence. Mr.. GARFIELD will tell
you So
Again a nod from Garfield
If Garfield should get lost in the shufne,
great would be the calamity
