Voice Of the Peop'e


To the Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Slr,-Thc present writer through the
press 1T sundry times has called at
tcntion to the need of correcting nu-
incrous vices, among which he special
~ emphasizes the manners of children
and the book borrowing habit. The
results OF these efforts are less per-
ceptihlc, the writer Matters himself,
on account that those for whom they
are intended are not so easily reached
through the public prints. as they
seldom subscribe for n newspaper or
other periodical publication. How to
taciIully reach this class is the uues-
ton But a suggestion from this

HOW TO RESIST
Chronic Coughs and Colds.

Strong, vigorous men and women
hardly ever catch cold; it's only when
the system is run down and vitality
low that colds and coughs get a foot
. hold.
Now isn't it reasonable that the
right way to ure a cough is to build
up your strength again?
Mrs. Olivia Parham, of East Dur
ham, N. c., says: Il took Vinol for a.
chronic cough which had lasted two
years, and the cough not only disap-
peared, but it built up my strength
as WE'LL
The reason Vinol is so eficacious in
such cases is because it contains in a
delicious concentrated form all the
medicinal curative elements of cod
liver oil, with tonic, bodybuilding
iron added.
Chronic coughs and colds yield to
Vinol because it builds up the weak
ened, rundown system.
sYou can get your money back any
he If Vinol does not do all we say.

Kill lOO, 900 Gophers
in Sphinx County

County Auditor Harry Wood is Just
completing the returns on the bounty
awards Cor the killing OF gophers in
SPHINX county. The last day for reg
istration was Saturday, and at that
time over one hundred thousand tails
of deceased gophers had been receiv-
ed at the county auditors office. The
gophers have become serious pest
in the county and it was thought by
the county board that the best way to
rid the county OF some of them at
least would be to offer a bounty Of 2
cents tail. This will mean a pay
ment Of over $4,000 in bounties. The
boys and men Of the county have had
some real sport in killing the pests,
employing rifles and guns Of various
sorts, as well as gopher poisons in
the attempted determination Of the
nuisances which are running SO much
good seed every spring. The result
surely is satisfactory. Redfield Jour

Newton, Kansas, June 5, 1913.

Mr., w. H. Stokes,
WatesScwn, s. D.,
Dear Sir:
In reply to yours of June 3rd ! have
to say that last year there was ex-
pended upon the Meridian Road for
permanent work more than one half
a million dollars and that this year
there will surely be expended upon
it fer permanent work at least one
and a half million dollars.
The enthusiasm for good roads in
Texas was never SO strong as now
and good roads meetings are often so
large that the court houses will not
hold the people. The rivalry for the
Meridian Road has stirred up the peo-
pie as never before in that state over
roads D. E. Colp of San Antonio and
D. P. Talley of Wichita Falls, Texas,
can give you more details. / think
that over seven million dollars in
