HOW Old PEOPLE
May Prolong Their Lives

At An advanced age waste II more
rapid than repair. The organs act
more slowly and less effe.tually than
in youth. The circulation II poor. the
blood thin and wctery, the appetite
poor and digestion weak.
We want to say to every aged per.
son in this vicinity that vinol, our de-
licious cod liver and iron tonic with
out oily will proiong life. It creates
an appetite, aids digestion and makes
good blood. In this natural manner
vinol retards waste and replaces
weakness with strength, giving new
life to the worn system.
II people in this vicinity only real
ixed how vinol invigorates old people
we would not Be able to supply the
demand.
Try bottle Of vinol With the un-
derstanding that your money VIII be
returned II It does not help you.

call attention to his candidacy,
1t must be generally recognized
that the demand for an elective
Supreme Court, as voiced by the
Press, was upon the assumption
that the judiciary would be en-
tirely divorced from executive
favor; and that no undue politi-
cal activity on the part of the Ju-
dietary was contemplated in or
der to be retained in Office.
We take it that our brethren
of the Press are solicitous to keep
the judicial ermine free from con-
tact with the political methods
which too frequently prevail in
aspirations for other offices, and
that the voters will be urged to
MAINTAIN in office those men who
have proven themselves worthy OF
judicial honors. To retire a wor-
thy judge simply in order that
other ambitions may be gratified,
appears to us an error which the
Press will not enc ourage.
Chief Justice Breaux is evil
IDENTIFY entitled to the confidence
Of the people of the State, and
should receive from his district
the reward to which his public
services entitle him by a contin-
uance upon the Supreme Bench as
its Chief Justice. AS you appre-
ciate, he will be entitled to retire
under a pension upon the expi-
ration of his term, but he has the
activity of mind and body which
induces him to seek a continu-
ance of his labors.
In addressing you we do so
with the hope that you will find
it agreeable to your views to
tender him the influence of your
journal.
The salient points of his life
and of his public services are set
out in an article appearing in
"The Lawyer and Banker" a
magazine published in San Fran
cisco, which we take pleasure in
forwarding to you.
With assurance of high esteem,
We remain yours truly

find the qualities better blended
than in Chief Justice Breaux. A
high sense Of honor, unimpeach-

of right and wrong, are charac-
teristics which stand out pre-
eminently in his life. These are
fortified by a sound knowledge OF
law attained by long years OF
practice at the Bar, and service
upon the Bench, during which he
devoted untiring energies to its

Recently a Ger man arrived at El llscorial, bringing. with him the sum of $2000. He had been beguiled by the persuasive elo- quence of the swindlers and was at tracted by the lure of q vast sum of money supposed to be buried in the vicinity of the Escurial. He was simple enough to believe that by handing over the S2000 he would secure information as to the whereabouts of the buried treasure.
 The guileless Teuton was met at the station by a couple of Spaniards and the trio adjourned to q hostelry for the purpose of clinching the bargain.
 Unfortunately for the plans of the Spaniards the civil guard had all the threads of the little plot in their hands. Seated around a little table discussing a bottle of wine and the alluring for tune, the Spaniards and their prospect I've victim were surprised by the en- trance of an officer
 Realizing that the game was up the two Spaniards jumped out of a win dow and fell into the clutches of a civil guard. The Teuton also jumped cut of a window. The swindlers, the German and the proprietor of the hos telry are now under detention. The in- senious Spanish prisoner fraud has

 The thimble when it dropped on the floor, rolled into the register. and the register was removed to get at it. While Mrs. Templeton was trying to contrve a method of recovery, Morris evidently stepped into the dark cavern and down he went. Probably he was too badly scared to cry out. but he emitted a little gasp, just enough to be heard by the mother. lnstnctively she knew he was in the pipe. although he was out of sight. He was so small the pipe would admit him easily.
 Frantic with fear, Mrs. Templeton rushed to the cellar. expecting to open the furnace door and find that the lad was above the drum. roasting alive. But he did not get that far.
