an additional candidate is seen in the
possibility of Judge Lawrence Becker
of Hammond becoming a candidate.
Yet, 1t is said, he will not get in the
race. because of the judicial position
which he holds in Lake county He
would make a strong candidate es-
pecially in the northern part of the

ever, the fight for the nomination for
Governor will be between Ralston and

A MESSAGE
To Feeble Old People.

AS one grows old the waste Of the
system becomes more rapid than re-
pair, the organs act more slowly and
less effectually than in youth, the cir
culation is poor, the blood thin and
digestion weak.
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic without oil. is the ideal
strengthened and body-builder for old
folks, for it contains the very ele-
ments needed to rebuild wasting It's
sues and replace weakness with
strength. Vinol also fortifies the sys-
TEN against colds and thus prevents
pneumonia.
4 grandneice of Alexander Hamil-
ton, over eighty years of age, once
remarked: "Vinol is a godsend to old
people. Thanks to Vinol, I have a
hearty appetite, sleep soundly, feel
active and we'll. 1t is the finest tonic
and strength-creator have ever
used"
II Vinol fails to build up the
feeble old people, and create
strength. we will return your money.

rectly, using only mental calcula-
tions.
From time to time the world has
been startled by wonderful light
ming calculators such as this. Ro-
manoff, the French lightning calcu-
lator, is still living, and has been
able for years to juggle in an ex-
traordinary fashion with figures.
He can give in a moment the day of
the week in which any given date
fell. There died at the end of the
past year the famous lightning cal
culator known as the Marvellous
Griffith"
When discovered, at 81 years
of age, by a Chicago newspaper
man, he was working on a farm for
so cents daily and his board. In
February, 1910, a score of profess
sors of Harvard University tried to
corner Griffith, but he gave the So
luton to the problems set before
him almost Immediately after they
were entioned to him.
Glacomo Mangiamelli, when 8
years of age, could solve a great va
riety Of very difficult arithmetical
problems by the mere operation of
the mind. The Royal Academy of
Sciences in Paris placed him in a
college, but it was found that his
mental calculating faculties began
to diminish when he devoted him
self to ordinary study. The Eng
lish mathematician Wallis perform
ed arithmetical operations, such as
the extraction of roots to 40 deci-
NAL places, solely by his marvellous
power of memory.-[London Cor
