How a Flea Jumps,

1t Is said that flea leaps 200 times
It's height, and. while 1t usually does
land on its feet. 1t often fails. especial
ly when 1t falls on perfectly smooth
surface, where the claws can get only
slight hold. A flea has six legs.
whose great length and bulk make
them so heavy that they must be a
great help In keeping their owner right
side up when 1t makes one of those
gigantic jumps. and when It lands up
side down or in some other way Its
ability to kick is so great that not more
than one wrlggle Is needed to set things
right. A 6ea's wings are mere scales
and of no use. But small and worth
less as they are. they tell the entomolo-
gist something about the proper ciassi-
ncatien OF the insect. To the flea Itself
they have no value.

Caused by Lowered Vital Resistance
What to Do for This.
1t is well known fact that when
person is rundown, stomach out of
order, or the system overloaded with
waste matter, vital resistance is lowered
and colds and coughs are easily con-
traeted.
The safest and surest method we
know to overcome this condition is by
taking our delicious cod liver and iron
tonic, Vinoi. In the most natural man
ner Vinol tones up the digestive or
gans, promotes hearty appetite, en-
riches the blood and creates strength
for every organ in the body and as a
specific for chronic coughs, colds and
bronchial troubles Vinel is unexcelled.
Mr.. Albert Porter, of Richmond Hill,
L. J., says: "All winter / had a bad
cold and a cough which l could not get
rid Of, and was badly run down besides.
Vin0l was the one reredy which cured
my cough and made me we'll In every

A Physicians Substitute for Danger
Gus Calome1.

When you feel that your liver and
bowels need help, take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets. Substitute for Calomel.
Calomel is effective, but dangerous
causing bad after-effects.
Olive Tablets are especially made to
take the place of Calomel. DR.. Ed
wards for years has been Calomel 8
foe. He saw its dangers and its dis
advantages in II years practice, treat
ing patients for all kinds of liver and
bowel complaints. In his efforts to
do without Calomel he developed his
now famous little olive-oil-colored tab
let's. Olive Tablets are mild but effect
i've. Safe and sure. Pleasant to take,
but unfailing in results.
Olive Tablets oil the bowels just
enough to start Natures own action,
and they tone up the liver at the, same
time. They ara made from a rare
combination of vegetable compounds
mixed with olive oil.
LIZ you want to regain that feeling
of Joyous buoyancy and clear thought,
take DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets. They
work like vacation 10 and 25 cents
per box.

The NeU Fall
Neckwear

EXTREMELY picturesque, and, at
II the same time, comfortable STYLES
in neckwear are now on display. Al
most without exception, the throat
is exposed, while at the back Of the
neck the collars are high and far
ing. These high-backed collars,
wired and usually transparent, are
seen on elaborate evening toilettes,
with extremely low-cut bOdices, and
in less extreme form, on afternoon
toilettes. Quite remarkable to state,
these wired forms, while appearing
two years ago as an extreme novelty,
are only just now coming into general
use IN Paris.
The surpIce outline for the front of
the bodice brings into fashion fichu
effects. Small fuchu ends are added
to these smart wired collars, and to
some of the newer flat collars out
lined with simple friIls.
Normandy flUting is now highly fav-
ored in Paris. Most of the new neck
wear, whether it be in the form of
collar or fichu, has the border either
OF Fittings or plaitings. Both linen
and net frills are employed.
