EVERlYBODY'S FRIEND

The old family doctor, Of whom so
few are now seen in this age of "spe.
cialists" was the valued friend and
adviser of his patients They de-
pended on him to keep them in
health, and cheer them with his coun.
sci. He taught them the wisdom of
preventing illness by watching close
ly after The health Of the family.
Mrs. s. H. Dubois writes from her
home at Hampstead, L. L.: ''Vinol is
an old friend Of our family. We have
used It for years whenever any of US
need tonic on account Of being in
a rundown state Of health, and 1t al
ways gives perfect satisfaction. We
have used nine bottles this winter"
There are thousands Of families
who could and do say the same thing
vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron
preparation without oil, has proved
its value by bringing back rugged
health and strength to vast numbers
of weak, rundown men, women and
children. That is why we sell 30

"The battle was farce. An army

preached the city. Possibly eight of
the men were mounted, the others
on foot. A few scattered rifle shots

when gray hairs come, or when tho

TW0||MEN Sent TO

FROM new ENGLAND

NEW ENGLAND, March 4.-Con-
stable Alfred Anderson, made trip
to Mott, accompanies by Martin
Smith and Charles Halliday, two men
who were taken before the insanity
board at the county seat and ad'
judged insane. e..
For several months some Of Mr..
Smiths -neighbors out north Of town
noticed that he acted queerly at
times and for the past month he has
been getting worse. Mrs. Smith was
recently called from her lecturing
trip in the eastern part of the state
to attend to her husband. A short
time ago Mr.. Smith was accused Of
shooting a neighbors horse and q
Judgment for the value of the horse
was found against him. It Is thought
that worrying over this affected his
mind as he seemed much more ira.
tional after the case was decided
against him in justice court. It was
deemed best by the local board to
have Mr.. Smith taken to the hospi-
tai for the insane at jamestown.
Ill LAc case VI Cu0I A00 1A0lAuoy ,
the harnessmaker who has been in
the employ of J. S. Larson for sew
eral months, the board decided that
treatment at the hospital for the in
sane would be the proper thing. Mr.
Halliday has what might be termed
as "a bad case Of nerves." He is not
exactly insane but has spells Of ner-
vousness closely bordering on insan-
ity. He understands his own mental
condition perfectly and made no
complaint when it was suggested that
he take treatment at the insane hos
pital for a few months. Mr.. Hail.
dav is a fine harnessmaker, having
worked at his trade for twenty years.
He is a man Of good habits and has
a nice family It is hoped that his
mind will be benefited by the rest
and treatment and that he may re-
turn to his family in short time.
