SLEEPS WELL At NIGHT

If you want to know how man
feels who has allowed his health TO
break down, and then find way OF
regaining it, just read this letter from
Joseph j. Pagan, of New York City.
Nearly all last winter l was In
poor health owing to general run
down condition. 1 had very little ap-
petite and did not sleep well.
Tn March began to take your de-
licious cod liver and iron preparation,
Vinol, and soon noticed a great i'm
provement in my health. My appetite
returned, and l can now enjoy my
meals and get good rest at night.
Il have not felt better for years
than 1 have since taking Vinol" Mr..
Pagan did not risk a cent 10 get well
for his money would have been paid
back if Vinol had not helped him.
We don't see how any person N
poor health. weak, pale, nervous or
unable to sleep can hesitate moment
about beginning the use Of Vinol. We
have known Vinol to make so many
people healthy and strong again, that
we recommend 1t to you with the
greatest confidence.

DOUDLEHEADER
new ORLEANS
VS.. PENSACOLA
FIRST GAME WILL BE CALLED
AT 2:3o oscLocK-sTUART AND
BURMEIsTER WILL PITCH FOR
PENSACOLA.

When New Orleans teams come to
Pensacola 1t rains. Last season 1t took
q visit from a New Orleans ball club
to break the drought and the same
thing is happening this year-it rains
every time team from the Crescent
City comes to Pensacola.
This afternoon double-header is
scheduled to go between the Pensa-
colas and thS Parker Blakes of New
Orleans. Stuart will probably pitch
the first game with Burmeister work
ing in the second. 1t may be of inter
est to the fans to know that Boken-
fohr, the southpaw who manages to
get on every New Orleans team when
1t comes to Pensacola, was missing
before the Parker Blakes left that city
and he will not be one of the opposing
pitchers. Bokenfohr is a pitcher of
big league caliber and he manages to
keep the Pensacola batsmen from
reaching first so successfully that the
thing has grown monotonous in the
extreme.
The Parker Blales are good ball
players, some claiming that they are
faster than the Eddies, but from the
the locals stack up well against them
and the games today should be close
ones
Manager Oliver has been working to
get his team in good shape and the
club is much stronger in teamwork
and hitting than it was when the sea-
sen opened.
Unless the rain is coming down at
$3.50 o'clock this afternoon the first
game OF the double-h header will be-
gin. If it is raining at the time and
the rain ceases to fall later in the
afternoon the games will be played for
the grounds are In such excellent con-
dition that a little water does not.

LETTER FROM
CHRIS POWDERLy

Soldiers Home, Los Angeles Co,
California, Dec. 8, 1912.
Mr.. J. W Cochran, Commander:
Your welcome letter of Oct. 18th,
with receipt for my dues to Wood
Countyq Post, G. A. R, for one year
in advance, was duly received, it
got here nearly as soon as I did.
I first stayed at my nephew's, at
Brawley, near the Salton Sea, but
there were three school marms board
ing with them and that was too rich
fer my blood, so l thought I would
come TO the National Home. I had
quite a little trouble getting in here,
on account of an imaginary line som
where in the Rocky Mountains, de
nying old soldiers east of that Line,
the right to the Pacific Branch
for the purpose of preventing them
from making this a winter resort.
Owing to my good behavior and win
ming ways, coupled with your letter
and the receipt for dues, the Mana
ger, Col, Matt Kohm Of Pasadena,
admitted me; and I am enjoying my
self hugely.
The weather is very fine,-no frost
yet, ripe tomatoes and much other
garden stuff here on the farm, and
flowers on the table every day. I
have seen Comrade Allen Jenkins;
he came over 10 Pasadena and saw

for the plaintiffs and Geo. L. William
was attorney for the defendants.
Case No 20 on the circuit court
calendar, Issues Of fact for jury was
then taken up.
The jury returned a verdict Of no
cause for action in the case Of Ed.
Mahoney versus the Green Bay &
Western Railway Company After
the attorney, for the plaintiff, W.
E. Wheelan, had finished examining
witness in rebuttaI, 7. w. Brazeau
attorney for the Green Bay & Wes-
tern moved that the court direct
verdict of no cause for action. The
jury was dismissed, while the attor-
neys argued the matter The court
denied the motion and the jury was
recalled Just at this time Mr.. Ma
honey was seized with an epileptic
fit During the progress Of the
trial, witnesses were produced, who
gave evidence that Mr.. MahOney had
on different occasions had sick spells
Medical testimony was to the effect
that these spells were caused by a
tendency to epilepsy. The defense
attempted to show that Mr.. Mahoney
had one of these sick spells at the
time Of the accident and that his fall
from the ladder was caused by his
having had. a sick spell at that time.
Witnesses We're introduced who stat
ed that he was not an epileptic.
The sudden fit at the time when the
motion had been denied
by the court and when the case was
somewhat favorable to the plaintiff,
seemed to have convinced the jury
that Mr.. Mahoney was subject TO
epiIeptic fits and the verdict was re
turned in favor of the defendant Rail
way Company.
W. E. Wheelan was attorney for
Mr. Mahoney. John A. Gaynor and
T. w. Brazeau were attorneys for
the Railway Company.

XMAS CONTATA
WELL RENDERED
1.-The Message of the Star"
Contributed J

The Christmas cantata, The Mes
sage of the Star" given Sunday ev-
ening, at the Congregational church
by the members of the choir, was
listened to by a large crowd Of mu-
sic lovers. The music was under the
direction of Mrs. Guy Nash, whose
efficient leadership contributed a
great deal toward the success of the
program.
Mrs. Frank Natwick's work at the
pipe-organ is also deserving of par
ticular comment. Especially pleas
ing was the organ voluntary, March
Of the Magi," in which the high sUs-
tuned note, representing the guild
ing Star of Bethlehem was heard
throughout the entire piece.
The Cantata was divided into four
parts; The song of the Shepherds;
The search of the wise men; The
mather's reverie and the ascription.
Solos We're beautifully rendered by
Miss Ruby Natwick, contralto, John
Roberts, baritone, Mrs. J. H. Wright,
soprano, and Mr.. Wright, tenor.
Miss Helen Gnkey presided at
the piano during the choruses.
An interesting short address by
Rev. Fred Staff preceded the mu-
steal program.

BODY TURNING
INTO STONE

ELDORA, Ia, Dec. 19.-Frank WOr
den, Colfax, Ia, is known over the
state as the ossified man.
Worden's body is as hard as
stone and as rigid as a piece of
steel. With the exception of his
eyes, his tongue and his arms from
the elbows to the finger tips, he
cannot move a muscle. He suffers
no pain and his affliction is not
paralysis.
It was eighteen years ago when
Worden's neck began to stiffen.
Physicians told him he was begin
ming to ossify. The Justification
spread and his jaws began to set.
Worden then put little wedges be
tween his teeth and kept them here
till the jaws were rigid. Now there
is a half inch space between his
jaws, sufficient room between the
upper and lower teeth to allow him
TO eat soft foods.
The hardening of the body con
tinued till today he is numb from
head to foot The flow of blood
through the veins amounts to little
more than seepage, and gradually,
doctors say, it will stop altogether.
Doctors give Worden ten years more
to live.

WILL SEASON
Be SEVERE

Three severe Winters never. fol
low each other in succession, it is
said The winter of 1909 and 10,
and that of 1911 and '12 were both
severe. The country experienced more
freezing weather, and more zero tenn
peratures than had been experienced
in two consecutive Winters for a
period of about twenty years. The
Winter Of 1890 and 81 was a very
mild, open Winter, and in many sec
tions it did not freeze the ground
enough during the entire Wintre to
bear the weight of a horse. The two
winters previous to that one were
very severe. When there is a very
heavy crop OF grain and hay, the Win
ter following is, in nine cases out Of.
ten mild, open Winter. The crops
were very heavy the past season tax
ing the country over.

S4OO,0OO INHERIT
ANCE TAX IS
COLLECTED

MADISON, Wis, Dec. 23.-Over
100000 has been collected in in
heritance taxes by the state OF Wis
consin from non-residents in the past
year. This is the showing made in
the inheritance. tax section of the
state commission issued last week.
During the first year Of the laws
administration, it was not clearly ap-
pretended that Wisconsin stocks OWL
ed by a nonresident of the state
were subject to the inheritance tax
upon transfer at death. Evidently
the tax commission has found that
some persons transfer their property
a few years before their death, and
by so doing escape the application
of the Inheritance tax law. At the
next legislative session a law will
be recommended for passage, endors-
ed by the tax commission, which will
tax a large number of these trans
fers where it can be shown that the
disposition of the estate ''was clear
