HOW OLD PEOPLE
May Prolong Their Lives

At an advanced age waste is more rapid than repair. The organs act more slowly and less effectually than in youth. The circulation is poor. the blood thin and watery. 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 oiD will prolong 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.
 If people in this vicinity only real- ized how Vinol invigorates old people we would not be able to supply the demand.
 Try bottle of vinoi with the un- derstanding that your money will be returned If 1t does not help you

MISSISSIPPI WILL RISE TO-DAY.
Did Not Change in 12 Hours Up to :
 O'Clock Last Night.

The river at Memphis will begin to rise to-day and will keep rising during the next ten or twelve days. A stage of between g and 40 feet is predicted by s. c. Emery, local forecaster of the weather bureau.
 All along the upper rivers the situ- ation as regards high water was great ly improved yesterday. The Ohio river was falling at Pittsburg, Cincin- natl and Louisville, the Cumberland was falling a. Nashville, tlIe Missouri was falling at Kansas City and the Mississippi Was falling at St. Louis. Further falls are indicated for these places.
 The rises continue at Chattanooga and Johnsonvile on the Tennessee, and at Parkersburg and Paducah on the Ohio river. The rise at ParkerS- burg will not affect the river here un- less 1t should be greatly augmented. At Paducah the rise will probably continue for several days, on account of water from the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers.
 At Cairo the river rose l , feet to a stage of IS. feet in the 24 hours up to : o'clock yesterday morning. A stage of 90 feet or better will probably be registered at that point.
 The van of the rise should reach Memphis today-in fact, it had reached here last night-enough of it to stop the fall in the river The gauge was stationary at 36 feet for the twelve hours from o'clock yes terday morning 10 o'clock last night. A fal ot 0 of a foot occurred during the twenty-tour hours up to : o'clock yesterday morning
 The Arkansas river, which has been oil the rampage for the last several days. showed improvement yesterday At Fort Smith fall of O. of foot occurred, the gauge at that time having been 27.s feet At Little Rock the rise continued, but a fall is Ill >lgnt
 A fall m the river k predicted for Helena during the next four or i've days by NIT. Emery.
 The St Francis river during the week has continued it's steady fall.

One of the large plate glass show windows in the Sol Lewis building Vas broken Sunday afternoon. shortly after l o'clock. The glass was the large one forming the side of the west window, and been cracked at about the center of its top edge for some time. On the afternoon mentioned. It fell without any warning, splitting from top To bottom, and half of the glass was smashed into tiny particles.
 The cause of it's sudden fall and 6feakage is somewhat of mystery. It was thought at first that it was done by the wind, but at the time it broke. there was only light breeze. blowing, nothing like as hard as other winds that have blown in the same direction since the window was placed. The window was insured. and will be replaced as soon as one can be secured from Memphis.
