Well known among the recent en-

The manufacturers claim that a
large percentage of the population,
especially among the city people, are
affected by nervous debility The
symptoms Of nervous debility are un-
mistakable to those who know how
prevalent this trouble is. A tired
dragging feeling of the body, a slug
gish mind, and dull memory, depres-
sion of spirits, nervousness. stomach
trouble, weak back, cold feet, head
aches and bowel trouble are sure in
dications of nervous debility. "Tona
Vita" will positively remove this con-
dition If it doesn't we want moth
ing from those who give it a trial,
other than the time it takes to come
and get the tonic as the medicine
must do the work or we don't want
money for IT, We believe we have a
preparation that is worth its weight
in gold to the man or woman afflicted
with nervous debility.

The fancy prices received for the

Of a larger quantity next spring, and

It would certainly be wise for the

T am glad to know that the agricul-
tural industries are receiving sc

The forage question needs special

bent over and deliberately slapped her
bread jam side down, on that spot
less foori Then she picked it up and
slapped 1t in another place and an
other, and Fretia stood and looked on,
helplessly.
Oh yes, this is a perfectly true
story. Freda tells the truth, whatever
may be her faults. And she loves
children in spite of Mrs. Gaybyrd's
opinion, but she doesn't like to be the
victim of the tyranny of a spoiled
darling
And that is one of the reasons why
it would be well If Mrs. Gaybyrd be-
l0nged to a society for the improve
ment of mothers, where she might
learn things that are not taught at her
bridge club.
And If were to outline the objects
of such g. society / should suggest
that it teach primarily the differ-
ence between the important things
and the unimportant in q child's
For example, it is extremely impor-
tant that Dot should be taught that
politeness to interiors is the hallmark
OF good breeding. But it is not at all
important that Mrs. Gaybyrd should
go to the next club dance.
1t is important that Dot should
have a trained conscience. But 1t Is
should have a new tailor made.
1t is much more important that Dot
should be instructed in the mysteries
Of life than that her mother should
be instructed in the mysteries of auc-
ton bridge.
And 1t is much more important that
Dot should wear her rubbers and .fian-
nels and keep her feet dry than that
Mrs Gayhyrd should wear decollette
gowns and pearl earrings.
But Mrs. Gaybyrd takes Dot as a
joke. She pays no attention to her
daughters manners or morals or
health. except as they are forced upon
her by some unusual circumstance,
when she spanksl Dot or sends for the
doctor, or blamas her Sunday school
teacher, as the case seems to war
rant.
Perhaps the Society OF Mothers
might teach Mrs. Gaybyrd the Inn
portance of being in earnest and rouse
in her the spiritual sense of mother
hood which she now lacks.

Al GREAT LAWYER SAID

Ell I had my way" a famous law

health as contagious as measles"
Just think Of it-suppose you could
catch GOOD health as easily as you
catch cold-this would be a poor world
fer doctors and druggists.
Mrs. T. A. rrapp. who lives in Ar

best thing to catching good health.
She says: "A few weeks ago con-
tracted a cough which annoyed me
q great deal as was badly run down
at the time. II kept me awake at
night and distressed me greatly. Az
ter two weeks of this began to take
Vinol and one bottle not only caused
my cough to disappear but feel much
