DELICATE CHILDREN
Made Strong bv Vinol

'T wish I could induce every moth.
or who has q delicate, sickly child, to
try your delicious cod liver iron tonic,
Vinol.
1T restored our little daughter to
health and strength after everything
else had failed. It tastes 80 good she
loved to take it-not a bit of cod liver
oil taste.-Mrs. G. W. Stump, Canton,
Ohio"
The reason Vino1 is 80 successful
in building up puny, delicate, ailing
children, is because it is a comb1na-
tion Of the two most world-famed ton
lcs-the medicinal bodybuilding ele-
ments of cod liver oil, aided by the
blood-making and strengthening
properties of tonic iron.
If we can induce you to try bottle
Of Vinol as q body-builder and
strength-creator for your child, and
you do not find it is all we claim, we
will return your money on demand.

Sorriest Since Reconstruction Days.

If one-half or one-third of what
has been charged against Blease
holds true, it is not surprising that
Tillman, whose personal and official
honesty has never been called into
question, should heartily desire to see
the State rid of him. Expelled from
the University of South Carolina for
plagiarism, accused as a member of
the State senate of grating in con-
nection with the administration of
the State dispensary system, charged
as governor with the conduct of a
brokerage in pardons, openly the ad-
vocate of lynchings, brawler and a
blackguard on the stump, Blease is
about the sorriest specimen of gov
ernor that any American State has
known since reconstruction.-Louis-

A Lonely Epitaph.

Mason and Dixon's line is fast be-
coming a memory, says the Kansas
City Journal, but here and there are
to be found evidence of the. once
bitter hatred which prevailed in the
days of the Civil War.
George W. Kerdolff, who before
entering the insurance business spent
much time in the South, tells this
story of IA epitaph rudely carved on
block of sandstone yet to be seen
in a Louisiana parish:
When the slogan of the South was
"On to Washington, and the youth
of the Confederacy had shouldered
their muskets for the front, leaving
only the older folks and women and
children at home, band of Union
soldiers came to Louisiana. Sight
ing the enemy, the aged men, assist
ed by the women, gathered, together
their scant supply of firearms and
planned resistance. AS the Federal
forces came up a narrow lane the
Southerners opened fire with such
deadly effect that the invaders re-
treated, leaving one of the number
dead upon the field of battle.
The victors buried the fallen foe,
and over his grave to this day one
may read the roughly chiseled epi-
taph:
The Yankee bands, with bloody
hands,
Came Southwark to divide our lands,
This lonely and deserted spot
Is all this darned old Yankee got"
