PRESCRIPTION
For a Long Life.


This is the prescription for a long
life given by an old gentleman in Con-
necticut, who is rinety-nine years old
and still well and cheerful, Live
temperately. be slow to anger, don't
worry, take plenty Of exercise in the
fresh air, and, above all, keep cheer
full"
Should the system get run down
digestive organs weak-the blood thin
and sluggish, take Vinol, which is a
delicious combination of the medicine
bodybuilding properties of Gods
livers, with the useless grease elimi-
mated and tonic iron added. We re-
gard Vinol as one of the greatest
body-builders and strength-creators in
the world for aged people.
Mrs. Mary Ivey, of Columbus, Ga.
says: 'Tf people only knew the good
Vinol does old people, you would be
unable to supply the demand; it is
the finest tonic and strength-creator
ever used"
We wish every feeble old per-
son in this vicinity would try
Vinol on our agreement to return their
money II it fails to give satisfaction.
P. s. If you have any skin trou-
BILE try Saxo Salve. We guarantee it.

SAYS THAT FLOWERS
FEEL AND SUFFER
Eminent French Psychologist Is Con
Quoting Many Interesting
Experiments.

PARIS, Nov. s.-Can flowers feel
paint This is q question TO which
French Psychologists arc giving much
attention at the present time.
M. L. Chassaigne believes that they
can and do. His opinion is based on
interesting experiments, Taking mi
mosa plant, he exposed 1t to the action
of heat. The leaves writhed as IL in
pain. A simple mechanical effect. say
the skeptics; a proof Of sensibility,
says NJ. Chassaigne, since it does not
take place If the mimosa be anesthe-
tized. If the vase containing the mi
mosa is placed in glass globe with a
piece of cotton impreguated with
chloroform or any other volatile anes-
thetic FOR half an hour, the foliage be-
comes wilted and tho plant has all the
appearance of being in a deep sleep If
it be now subjected to the action of
heat it remains unaffected. The plant
no longer suffers.
NJ. Chassaigne has repeated the
same experiment with many different
kinds of plants, but always with the
same result. "It is maintained,' he
SAYS, ''that plants do not suffer pain
because they have no nerves. But
modern Psychologists are beginning to
ask what exactly are nerves. Many of
them hold that nerves are but the ex-
tension of protoplasm, modified and
adapted TO fulfill the required func-
ton. Hence the protoplasm OF plants
can perfectly well act as a rudimen-
tnry nervous system, and ] am con"
tinuing my experiments with the OBJ
jcct Of establishing this beyond
doubt, ~
