MAN LOST AMBITION

1t seemed strange to so active and
energetic a young man as Arthur II.
Scott of Brooklyn that he did not attack
his work with the usual enthusiasm last
spring.
He knew it was not Spring fe-,er," for
his health failed, and, to use his own
words in a recent letter, 81 could not
sleep, had no energy or ambition and
could not do my work properly.
a must say that Vinol has done me
wonderful good, for | feel strong and
ambitious again, just like | used to be-
fore my health failed. | rest well at
night, have a good appetite and no more
nervousness, all because l took your ex~
cellent tonic, Vinol."
One reason Mr.. Scott was willing to
try Vinol was because he knew he could
get his money back if Vinol did not ben
eft him. This delicious cod liver and
iron remedy, without oil, positively has
no equal as a spring medicine, to enrich
the blood and make weak, worn-out men,
women and children rugged, rosy and
strong. We guarantee it to do this, and
give back your money if it does not. Red

BILLION TONS OF ORE.
A Physical and Chemical Impossibility,
According to U. S. Geological Survey.

The papers of the week OF March II
contained the announcement Of the dis
coyerv of a billion tons of red, brown,
and carbonate iron ore, ranging from 81
to SO per cent. of iron, in Dickeys
mountain, Lowries knob, and the Mead
ow Ground, Fulton county, Pa The geol
ogy of Fulton county is well known from
the reports of the state geological sur
veys. and the impossibility of there being
such body of ore is apparent to anyone
who will read these reports and study
the maps A billion tons of iron would
occupy volume nearly equal to the
mass OF the three mountains" named;
moreover. carbonate of iron when chem
ically pure contains only As per cent. of
iron and brown ore less than 90 per
cent.
Nevertheless, to ascertain what might
have given rise to the reports, Director
Smith of the United States geological
survey. sent Geologist George II. Ashley
into Fulton county to make an inyesti-
CATION. He reports that undoubtedly
these hills contain several million tons
of low grade iron ore and may contain
a small amount of high-grade brown ore
and more lowgrade brown ore.
Mr.. Ashley found that three drill holes
have been sunk into shallow, canoe
shaped basin deposit of red shale form
ing the "Aieadow Ground" The deposit
is readily measured in length, breadth,
an depth If it were all ore, it would
hardly contain 30,000000 tons The
rocks are well exposed and show practi
eslly no iron except the iron coloring
the rocks. Lowries knob, ii solid hill
of ore, would contain only about l00-
000,0 tons The rocks here are like
wise well exposed. A pocket of brown
ore has been worked out on the east side
by the old Hanover furnace, yielding
about 10000 tons of ore as per cent.
ironl. The cove fault runs through
Lowres knob and Dickeys mountain, so
that the rocks forming them stand on
edge and locally are crumpled. Dickeys
mountain contains some lowgrade sandy
iron ore on the west side, possibly 5,000,-
600 tons. as bed is cut off against the
fault. A.little brown ore, IA inches to
two feet thick l3s per cent. ironl, was
dug for the Hanover furnace but aban-
doned as Improbable. The black shales
OF the Deyonian are present in the re-
gon, but no suggestion of carbonate ore
was seen.

FOREST WASTE IN CHINA.
One of the Causes of Famine-Also Lack
of Transportation Facilities.

"China's life-sapping famine, in which
millions are suffering is largely trace
able to the wasting of the forests. One
of the most horrible tragedies of the
world might have been prevented by the
careful use of these resources said Pres
ident John 7. Proctor of the Baptist col
lege at Shanghai in explaining the causes
for the great famine in China.
"Chinas hills and mountains are de
forested. This is particularly true in the
hilly country drained by the Yangste
river, whose valley comprises the strick-
en- district. The river brings the soil
down with IT, That is the reason why
we have the Yellow sea. For three hun.
bred miles out from land, the ocean is
discolored by the silt brought down by
the Yangtse The hills are washed bare
of soil, There is some hunting in these
hills. but the animals live among the
brush For want of better fuel, the ma
tives burn this brush.
Last August the Yangste overfowed
and flooded about 10000 acres of densely
populated territory. This flood placed u
population of 100000 in want. In fifty
years there has not been such another
flood. Some of the victims, have been
drowned out for two consecutive years,
some three years, some four years. They
not only have lost food, they have lost
hope.
"Much Of the land that was inundated
is at sea level. 1t is drained by the most
intricate system of canals in the world.
know of one city of 10000 which il
surrounded by canals. There are no
roads to it, because a road could not
90 half mile without touching canal.
There are not even footpaths, The peo-
pie make their way to and from the city
in boats. This is their only means or
communication.
Lack Of transportation facilities is
another cause of the famine. 1t costs
too much to carry food ON mems Shout
ders. | know province where rice costs
twice as much in the west Of it as in
the east. But the cost of transporta-
ton between the two points made up
the difference.
Chicago can ship food TO the famine
district quicker and cheaper than the
food can be transported from western
China Chicago is actually nearer the
district than great many places in the
empire" From Chicago Tribune.

A New Remedy for Skin
Troubles.

Many skin troubles are not caused bv
the blood, as most people think. Ex-
ternal treatment is therefore the most
direct and rational way to effect a cure
A chemist who was convinced of this
fact found that an extract of the plant
Juniperus 0xycedrus was most soothing
and healing to an irritated, inflamed OF
diseased skin. By special method OF
treatment this vegetable extract is now
combined with other antiseEtic, healing
ingredients, and is known as Cadum.
This new compound has cured thousands
of cases of eczema and other distressing
skin diseases after other remedies had
failed. 1t stops the terrible itching OF
eczema at once, and begins healing with
the first application. Cadum can be used
with confidence in all skin affections of
infants and adults. 1t has proved
blessing to many who have suffered for
years from tormenting and disfguring
skin diseases. Cadum is different from
anything else. II acts quickly upon PIN
pies, sorss, ulcers, eruptions, rashes.
