In persuasive tones the cookbook

view with the taxicab manager tried
to convince him that the company
owed her $2.02.

Her manner was so impressive that
the manager was on the point OF writ
ing out a check for the money de-
manded, but before doing so he re-
marked:

charging. 1t wasn't your fault the cab

or less as grim monster by many

is simply inspiring in its sublime beauty.
The little city of Santa Fe has wealth of
"show places" any of which might be expect

as tourist Mecca. One of the most interesting
of these historical headliners is the famous
Church of San Miguel. the cradle of Christianity
on the American continent" This time-honored
place of worship was built in the year 1910 but
was partially destroyed in the Indian revolution

4 COUNTRY MINISTER
WHO Is PROGRESSIVE

A country minister in Holmes
county, Rev. Charles Marston, is
demonstrating what country
church can mean to a rural COM
munity. This church is located in a
farming section and the congrega-
ton is made up of farming people.
Last winter Mr.. Marston organized
farmers club, which held its
meetings in the church during the
winter months. A lecture course is
another feature of the church ac-
tivities. Last September a home
coming picnic and a rural life con-
ference were held, attended by
over 500 people. Church socials
are held at various times through
out the year in order to get the
people together outside of religious
worship. In short, this church has
become a social center with a min
lister, who is alive to the needs of
his people; a combination that
makes for a satisfied, progressive
and religious community.

DO YOU ENJOY EATING
Or Does Everything You Eat
Distress You?

Experts declare that the reason
stomach disorders are so common in
this country is due to hasty and
careless habits Of eating. Stomach
troubles and rundown conditions also
usually go together.
John Lind, OF Oneonta, N. Y, says:
81 have been troubled with a bad
stomach trouble for fifteen years, and
became so weak that l could hardly
walk or do any work. My appetite
was very poor, and it seemed impos-
sible to get any relief. Since taking
two bottles of Vinol find that it has
already made a remarkable improve
ment in my health; my digestion is
much stronger, and l have gained in
weight"
Vinol makes weak stomachs strong
because 1t strengthens and tones up
the weakened, tired and overtaxed
nerves of the digestive organs. Vinol
is easily assimilated by the weakest
stomachs, and is delicious to the taste.
Try a bottle of Vinol with the
understanding that your money will
be returned If 1t does not help you.
