HOW TO GET STRONG
A Simple Remedy.

Weakness may be caused by a run
down condition, mal-assimilation Of
food, lack Of iron in the blood of a re-
suit of sickness
Whatever the cause, We want to say
to every person who needs strength,
you need vinol. our delicious cod liver
and iron tonic without oil, as II Is the
most efficient strength creator we
have in our store
A case has just come to our atten-
ton from West Baden, Ind. A beau
uful young lady was a complete
wreck, rundown, worn out and nerv-
Gus, so she had to spend one-third of
her time in bed. Nothing which was
given her did any good until vinol
was recommended by her druggist,
which she says did her more good than
all the medicine she ever took in her
life put together, as 1t built her up SO
she is now strong. well and active.
1t is the medicinal elements Of the
Gods livers contained in Vinol aided
by the blood making and strengthen
ing properties of tonic iron which
makes it so successful and we will re-
turn your money If 1t does not help
you. Leo n. Fihe, Druggist, Richmond,

LAXATIVE FOR OLD
PEOPLE" CASCARETS.' y
What glasses are to weak
eyes, Cascarets are to
weak bowels-Try a
1O-cent box.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural. 1t is Just as
natural as It IL for old people to walk
slowly. For age is never 80 active
as youth. The muscles are less
elastic. And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as well refuse 30 aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The bow
els must be kept active. This is i'm
portant at all ages, but never SO much
as at fifty.
Age Is not a time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the bow
els into activity. But lash can't be
used every day. What the bowels Of
the old need is a gentle and natural
tonic. One that can be constantly
used without harm. The only such
tonic is Cascarets and they cost only
10 cents per box at any drug store
They work while you sleep.

ings of rural communities to the de-
velopment of the farms 1t is claimed
that in Germany such a system has
been able to supply as high as So per
cent of all the money required by the
German farmers for their operating ex-
penses from such deposits. Similar
systems are in operation in nearly
every country In Europe. 1t is to study
the operation Of these systems that
the commission is visiting those coun-
tries.
The second attempt of the commits
sion will be to secure the establish
ment of mortgage banking system in
the United States. Such a system in
Germany has brought over $4,000, 000,-
900 to the German landowners for the
development and improvement of their
land. In France the mortgage bonds
of the Credit Foncter which are only
the farmers mortgages under a diff
ferent form, sell at lower interest rates
than even first class Industrial bonds
1t is declared that if a mortgage bank
ing system could be established in the
United States, billions of dollars of ad-
ditional money could be secured for
the farmers at much lower rates and
on better terms and that with the
great development in American farms
which this money would make posi-

coming worse, would be solved forever.

NEW YORK, April 23.-A further
Jolt is to be given the high cost of
living If the delegation of 100 Ameri-
leans which is to sail from here for
Naples Saturday succeeds in its en-
deavor to devise separate banking
system for American farmers. The
.aofficial name of the delegation is the
sAfnerican Commission on Agricultural
cooperation. The investigation Is to
be made under the auspices Of The
Southern Commercial Congress. It's
aim Is to place cheap money at the
disposal of American farmers in order
to lower the cost of producing food.
Secretary of Agriculture Houston
will represent the Administration at
the farewell to be given to the COM
mission. President Wilson takes a
keen interest in the undertaking and
will address the delegates personally
before they leave Washington.
= The commission is to be headed by
Beven federal commissioners bearing
the credentials of President Wilson
and Secretary of State Bryan. They
will make a report to Congress upon
Fthe practicabilty of establishing farm
.ers' cooperative banks and a mort
Gage bank system in the United States
copied after the agricultural credit
systems of European countries. Be-
ssftfes the federal commissioners there
are delegates representing about three
fourths of tie States of the Union who
eyill make a report to a committee of
nine Governors appointed at the last
Conference of the State Executives. In
this way official recommendations will
be placed before Congress and the
State legislatures urging a considera-
tion of the credit requirements of the
farmers both as a means of assisting
the farmers and of relieving the con-
sumers Of the country from the bur
den of the high cost of living.
Currency Reform.
= The work Of the commission Is
closely connected with the efforts Of
the banking and commercial interests
to secure currency reform. The prin-
opal claim of those seeking currency
reform is that under the present bank
ing system which permits banks to
radeposit their funds with other banks
who in turn deposit them in Chicago
or New York, the tendency is to col
Iact the surplus of the nations funds
