DO YOU ENJOY EATING
Or Does Everything You Eat
Distress You?

Experts declare that the reason
stomach disorders are so common in
this country is due to hasty and
careless habits Of eating. Stomach
troubles and rundown conditions also
usually 60 together.
John Lind, Of Oneonta, N. Y, says:
II have been troubled with a bad
stomach trouble for fifteen years, and
became so weak that / could hardly
walk or do any work. My appetite
was very poor, and it seemed impos-
sible to get any relief. Since taking
two bottles of Vinol / find that it has
already made a remarkable improve
ment in my health; my digestion is
much stronger, and have gained in
weight"
Vinol makes weak stomachs strong
because it strengthens and tones up
the weakened, tired and overtaxed
nerves Of the digestive organs. Vinol
is easily asslmilated by the weakest
stomachs. and is delicious to the taste.
Try bottle Of vinol with the
understanding that your money will
be returned II it does not help you.

Largest Side.wheeler
In The World

The new side-wheel steamer
IS .eandbee," which will be
placed in service between Cleve-
land and Buffalo this year. will
be the largest and most luxurious
passenger steamer on the Great
Lakes and the largest side-wheel-
er in the world. A picture OF
the vessel appears in the March
Popular Mechanics Magazine.
The length on deck will be 500
it,, and the breadth on deck
96 1-2 ft. The main propellin
engines, which are.of 1900 hp.,
will drive feathering peddle
wheels 80 #. in diameter. These
wheels, turning at only 80 revo-
lutlons per minute. will drive the
vessel at speed of % miles an
hour. The reason why side-wheel
propulsion is adopted for such a
large ship is that this system af-
fords the maximum comfort for
the passengers, the vibration be-
ing negligible.
The 'Seeandbee" has state
room accommodation for 1,5OO
passengers, and will have a
government permit to carry
about 5000.

of the boys and girls of the high
school. Basket ball, foot ball,
shot put, hammer throwing.
hurdling. high jump and races
are provided for the older pupils,
and the school is we'll equipped
with all the necessary items for
the playing of these games. The
little fellows are not provided
with anything of similar char
acter, but must content them
selves to look on and get their
enjoyment from seeing the
games of the other pupils. Prof.
Windham has called our atten-
ton to this inequality and we
are going to make an appeal to
the patrons and friends OF the
school to come forward with
enough money to buy all the
playthings the little fellows need.
1t is too much trouble to make a
personal canvass asking for the
funds necessary. and we are 60

Silos For The Farm.

Atlanta, Ga, February. 10Th,
How the average farm9r, u.s.
ing ordinary farm tools, at an
expense of only S65.00 can con-
struct a silo with a capacity OF
55 tons enough siiage.. to feed
20 cows DO pounds per day for
four months is told in a booklet
just gotten out by the Live Stock
Department Of the Southern
Railway, a copy of which will be
mailed free to any farmer ad-
dressing request for same to Mr..
F. L. Word, live stock agent,
Southern Railway Bldg, Allan
ia, Ga.
Where there is Live Stock on
the Farm There Should be a ST.
lo'' is the title of this booklet
which tells of the advantage to
the farmer having a silo and the
great saving which it enables
him to make in the cost of win
ter feeding for his live stock.
The figures given are taken from
the practical experience OF a
Tennessee farmer who built a
silo on the lines indicated twenty
years ago, who finds it as good
as new to-day, and feels that it
has paid for itself many times
over every year.
Secretary of Agriculture Will
son has recently declared that
the Southeastern states constr.
tute the ideal section of the
United States for live stock
raising and must be looked to in
future years for the nations
food supply. To stimulate inter-
est in the live stock industry and
to aid farmers to successfully fol-
low this line, the Southern Rail
way has established it's Live
Stock Department which is CIV
ing undivided attention to this
work.
