suffering with cramps until he upset
the boat l diYed several times but
could not recover his body. l began
suffering with cramps and the rescuers
forced me to the Lotus club and then
went back to search for Geitners body.
His body was in the water from As

taken the time to take me ashore.
Mr.. Matheson could not swim but
he tried to help recover the body and
insisted on being allowed to remain in
the water until it was recovered but
he too, was taken ashore.

Salisbury had been asked regarding the truth of reports he had made concerning the company's oil properties.
 And what is good report?" Sails bury continued. "Only to leave out the weak points. If a well produces at the rate of 300 barrels day for ten minutes and then stops for day, or for several hours, you may say the well produces at the rate of 30O barrels per day, and probably the lay man thinks the well gives 300 barrels a day actually.

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

When you are "jusr 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, then you need help right away.
 Miss Lea Dumas writes from Ma lone, N. r., saying: 'I was in badly 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 medicine ever took"
 If the eareworn, haggard men and 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.
 It is wonderfully strengthening and invigorating body-builder, and we sell it under an ironclad guarantee of satisfaction. You get your money back if Vinol does not help you.
