which he had to reimburse the bank,
"by false representations of respect

"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. Y, saying: 81 was in a badly
rundown condition for several weeks,
but two bottles of VinoI 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 careworn, 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 inyigorating body-builder, and we
sell 1t under an ironelad guarantee
Of satisfaction. You get your money
back II Vinol does not help you.

DAWSON VERSUS ALBANY.
Local Basket Ball Team Will Play
Neighboring Town Tonight.


The Dawson basket ball team went
down to Albany this afternoon, and
will meet the team of that city to-
night. Judging by the following
from the Herald the Albany team
knows what to expect:
much interest is being manifested
in the basketball game to be played
at the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation gymnasium Friday night be-
tween Albany and Dawson.
Ever since last Friday night, when
a big crowd saw Albany beat Ameri-
Gus in an exciting 16-to-6 contest.
interest in basket ball has been in
tense, and no doubt Dawson and AL
bany will play to a crowded house.
Arrangements are being made to seat
as many spectators as possible, so
that all can see the game to good
advantage.
1.-The game will begin at s o'clock.
1t promises to be a holly contested
one, and the local team will have to
play its level best to get away with
that Dawson bunch, who recently
held the strong Mercer college team
to a hard-fought tie"
Prof. Mosley carried with him to
Albany the following players: In
gram, center; Dozier, right guard;
Hart, left guard; Mathis, left for
ward; McGill, right forward This
bunch comprises the team that played
the Mercer quintet to a standstill, the
score being Is and Is.

THE CIGARETTE ARRAIGNED
Dawson Chapter of Woman's Christ
ian Temperance Union Shows the
Harmful Effects From Its Use.


Harmful Effects From Its Use.
The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union is working along all lines
that tend to the betterment of hui
mainly and not merely for the de-
struction of the liquor rattle, as some
suppose. There are various depart
ments, each with a superintendent.
Mrs. J. w. Patterson is superintend-
ent of anti-narcotics, and has fur
nished the following arraignment of
the deadly cigarette compiled from
what has been said by eminent men
who know whereof they speak
Press Supt. w. C. T. u, Dawson.
Acrolein is one of the most terri
Bile drugs in its effects on the human
body. The burning of ordinary Gig
arctic paper always produces aero
lein. That is what makes the smoke
so irritating. | really believe it often
makes boys insane. We sometimes
develop acrolein in this laboratory
in our experiments with glycerine.
One Whit of it from the oven drove
one of my assistants out of the build
ing the other day. | can hardly eX-
aggerate the dangerous nature OF
acrolein, and yet that is what a man
or a boy is dealing with every time
he smokes an ordinary cigarette
Thos. A Edison.
The cigarette is a maker of in
valids, criminals and fools, but not
of men. To use it means defeat in
life. One of the worst habits in boy
hood is the cigarette habit. This has
long been recognized by all judges
of the courts who deal with young
criminals. These judges know that
in nearly every case the drunken sots
who appear before them, disgrace
to their parents, themselves and their
state, began as boys smoking cigar
cites. The cigarette habit not only
had grip upon them in boyhood,
but it invited all other demons of
habit to come in and add to the
degradation that the cigarette be-
gan.-Hon. Ben B. Lindsey.
Each act in life is prompted by
some motive or done simply from
habit. What is the motive that
prompts the people of the United
States to spend annually six hundred
million dollars for tobacco? l will
ask you, tobacco user. Perhaps the
following questions may aid you in
determining your motive in using the
expense weed: Does your use OF
tobacco benefit you or your neigh
bors spiritually? Does 1t benefit you
morally? Does it benefit you men
tally? Does it benefit you physical
ly? Does it bring any financial re-
turns to you? Does it increase the
happiness of your family or that of
your neighbors? If not, what right
have you to use it? Youths IN

SEVEN BIT BY A DOG.
That Number of Cuthbert People Are
in Dread of Rabies.


That seven persons in Cuthbert

ination in the laboratory of the state

head of a dog which was received
from Dr. F. D. Patterson of Cuth-
bert.
According to the report received
at the health department the dog

One evidence of the gratifying re-
cults of the work of the Woman S
Missionary Society in foreign lands:
Senior Tosca, who died September ~
in Mantanzas, Cuba, made a gift OF
his ouinta (residence and grounds

Tho Oninta Tosca is valued at ST.

Senior Tosca, through the influence
of woman's missionary work in Man

He was a prominent man and very
much interested in the christian edu-
cation of his people. His former res
fdence will be used as an annex 10
the Irene Toland School for girls an

May this gift of the grateful CUBAN
be an appeal to every woman Oh the

The movement to rid Dawson OF
this vice was started only ten days
ago, and promises to be brought to
quick conclusion. The district has
for a long time been one of Dawson's
greatest evils. Besides the dlsor-
derby and criminal conduct there
have two or three murders and as
many suicides there.
