A MESSAGE TO WOMEN
Who Are "Just Ready to Drop"

WIN <1AS just INSooy " 0Aops
When you are "just ready to drop"
when you feel so weak that you can
hardly drag yourself about-and be-
cause you have not slept well, you
get up as tired-out next morning as
when you went to bed, you need help.
Miss Lea Dumas writes from Ma.
lone, N. Y, saying: Il was in bad.
ly rundown condition for several
weeks but two bottles Of Vinol put
me on my feet again and made me
strong and well Vinol has done me
more good than all the other medi-
cines ever took"
If the careworn, rundown women,
the pale, sickly children and feeble
old folks around here would follow
Miss Dumas example, they, too, would
soon be able to say that Vinol, our
delicious cod liver and iron remedy,
had built them up and made them
strong.
1t is a wonderful, strength creator
and body-builder, and we sell it un.
der guarantee of satisfaction. You
get your money back If Vinol does
not help you.

Business and Social Duties of Mayor
Archer Of Battersea, England.

Archer of Battersea, England.
The high honor of being received by
the king as an official is always an
item of more than ordinary interest
to those whose good fortune 1t may be
to preside over any OF England's pos
sessions or the various boroughs of
London. John Richard Archer, who
was recently elected mayor of Batter
sea, will receive all the consideration
and courtesies usually accorded to an
official of his rank. Mrs. Archer, wife
OF the mayor, will also share with her
husband the honors of his office. They
will be received by the king and
queen at social functions on equal
terms with other officials.
T The social functions given at the
Mansion house by the lord mayor Of
London are among the most impor-
tnnt. That Mayor Archer will meas
ure up to the dignity OF his Office is
not questioned. as he Is known TO have
splendid ability and fine social man
ners. Then again. he is we'll versed in
the requirements Of his office.
A remarkable feature OF the cam
paign which Mr. Archer won was the
fact that no contestant for the office
! mentioned Mr.. Archer's color in a
stump speech. But since the election
Mayor Archer said in speech: 1T is a
victory such as has never been gained

that the widespread criticism of the

only did race journals join in the cam

the rivalry existing between some of
the towns is at once impressed with
the fact that there has been a great
awakening among the colored people
of this state. wonderful stride for
ward is being made in business as
well as In education. In this city.
which Is best known by the meeting OF
the annual Negro fair. there resides a
clever and progressive lot OF colored
people not surpassed by the like in
any state.
Individual progress has been made
here, and now members OF the race
are beginning to recognize that coop
erative progress must command their
attention II they expect to maintain
the success already achieved. One
thing that is very helpful to Lexington
colored people. and especially through
out eastern Kentucky, is the good feel
ing existing between the two races.
No better feeling exists between the
races in any city OF the north than ex-
lists here in Lexington.
Perhaps this is due to the very high
type of colorcd men and women. aud
possibly 1t Is due 10 the high class Of

There are many very successful busi-

gree OF harmony existing within the
races argues well for the establish
