A MESSAGE. TO WOMEN
Who Are "Just Ready to Drop"

Who Are Just Ready to Drop"
When you are "just 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-put next morning as
when you went to bed, you need help.
Miss Lea Dumas writes from Ma,
lone, N, Y, saying: Il was in bad
ly rundown condition for several
weeks but two bottles of Vinol put
me on my feet again and made me
strong and we'll Vinol has done me
more good than all the other medi-
cines l ever took"
If the careworn, rundown 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.
1t is a wonderful, strength creator
and body-builder. and we sell it I'M
der guarantee Of satisfaction. You
get your money back If Vinol does
not help you.
p. S. For any skin trouble try our
Saxo Salve. We guarantee it.

It's awfully hard for man to keep
his dead past buried.
More Bottles Sold Each Year

1t is easy to understand why an in
creasing number of bottles of Foley's
Honey and Tar compound is sold year
ly. Thos. Verrah, 2S6 Edward Street,
Houghton, Mich, gives an excellent
reason when he writes: i'Foleys Honey
and Tar Compound has always proven
an effective remedy, quickly relieving
tickling in the throat, and stopping the
cough with no bad after effect Hites

Leaders of men are women, not in

After the wedding tour comes the
lecture tour,
Blessed is the thorn that has rose
to justify it.
The sting of defeat outlasts the
sweets of victory.
Few people live to reach the age Of
discretion.
1t takes sharp man to make a too
Of dull one.
People never pay any attention to a

Never Judge man by his coat; he
may owe the tailor.
More things will come your way il
you go after them.

ing side by side in the fields. They
toll on there. make money, build de-
cent cottage and rear family.
The children finish In the graded
school. The mother urges the "old
man" to send them away to the north.
In the north the dazzle and dash Of the
life at its height are too much for them.
They are delighted, yea. intoxicated.
They never return to the quiet little
cottage on the farm; hence the story
of three generations Is woven into this
music and interpreted to the audience
by a band, an orchestra and a glee
club.
Not altogether unfit is the student
band for the mission which the former
Illinois bandmaster sets for himself.
Many of these students are raw re-
cruits fresh from the farms, villages
and homes where life Is daily enacted
as Captain Smith seeks to stage 1t.
Though the task of drilling them into
musicians Is a hard one they never
theless bring to their instruments an
understanding Of and sympathy with
the life Of their music. They are not
musicians by trade and never will be;
they are fifty Of the 1900 students who
come yearly to the school for trades of
one kind or another and who pick up
music incidentally.
The present tour is the third one Of
the kind the band has taken and by
far the most ambitious. Those pre-
vious were satisfied with twenty, thir-
ty or forty stops. In each case the
manager, ). d. Stevenson, has had re-
peated demands to extend his time and
Journey. On this trip he Is endeavOr-
ing to meet all the demands Of cities
along the route.

STUDENTS LEARN BY DOING.
Each Must Show Fitness Before De-
+ Gliding Upon Profession.

Hampton institute is founded on the
knowledge that the common task and
daily round are means Of grace and
a source of culture and intellectual de-
velopment.
Is a building needed? Masons and
bricklayers must mix sand and cement;
carpenters must make doors and win
dow frames; painters, tinsmiths, plumb
ers, steamfitters, all must take their
turns before the building is completed.
The lessons Of the students stand In
cement, brick and plaster, In wood
work, tin and iron. Theories learned
In classroom these tradsemen apply at
the building, and the facts gained at
the building they carry to the class
room.
The facts are considered as valuable
as theories. Things are ranked with
books. Each student has his work in
the life Of this great family, and every
student must carry a vocation away
with him.
This is the system of Hampton. The
boy or young man who comes to the
school with scanty knowledge Of the
three RS and geography. with scantler
funds, If possessed of credentials and
character, Is given chance. He must
win his spurs before he can choose his
life's work or begin training as farmer.
teacher or tradesman.
Few boys enter with sufficient knOwl.
edge or funds to begin their work for a
life vocation. Yet no boy Is turned
away from Hampton because Of his
poverty. A year on the large farm,
year in the office or on the grounds Of
Hampton for the boys or year in
laundry and kitchens for the girls, with
careful coaching ut night in reading,
composition, arithmetic and geography,
gains the funds and academic standards
necessary to begin their special train
ing as tradesmen, teachers or farmers.
The bugles blow at $50 In the morn
ing. In the day that follows eleven
hours of work and study are crowded
into the lives Of blacksmiths and car
penters, five days Of the week. The
day which Is hailed as holiday or half
holiday in other schools. at Hampton
is called "workday."
Upon this day all boys and girls are
given work outside their shops or fixed
positions in kitchen or laundry to help
them further in earning their way
through the school. At Hampton 1t is
q punishment to deprive one of work,
for there all useful work Is means of
support and advance.

ROBERT J. COLLIER PLANS
TO FLY ACROSS ATLANTIC
Publisher Building a Hydroaeroplane,
Marblehead Hears.

Robert J. Collier. the New York pub
Usher, 1t is said. will attempt to cross
the Atlantic ocean in the fall in fly
ing boat equipped with 200 horse
power engine Of French design and
capable of 100 miles an hour or more.
The hydroaeroplane Is being con-
structed at the Burgess-Curtiss aero
plant, Marblehead, Mass, with much
secrecy. 1t will be larger and nearly
twice as swift as the craft construct
ed for the navy department recently,
which has made forty successful
flights. 1t will cost between 5000
and $4,000.
Mr.. Collier, it Is said, told the design
ers that he wanted the craft merely
for sport, but his intimate friends say
that he is bent upon attempting the
transatlantic flight He has been to
Marblehead several times in the past
few weeks and will try out the flying
boat over the harbor in about two
weeks. The machine will be entirely
finished by the middle Of July.
The flying boat, 1t Is said, will be the
largest and fastest hydroaeroplane In
the world. A special twenty cylinder
Anzani engine, with 200 horsepower.
has been imported at cost Of 10000
It Is made almost entirely Of alumni
ium, Weighing about 700 pounds. The
gross weight Of the machine, including
the weight Of the aviator and a pas
senger, will be 1900 pounds. The
planes are forty five feet In length from
tip to tip and are made Of special var
nished linen.
They are seven feet apart and sup
ported by a single line Of uprlghts Of
STEEL with steel wire bracings, resem-
bling cables on suspension bridges.
The propellers have eight foot blades,
made of solid mahogany, set at right
angles, making four blades. The en-
gine Is situated between the planes, be-
hind and almost two feet above the
head Of the operator. 1t can easily be
turned over" by wheel arrangement
without necessitating the operator
leaving his seat.
Besides carrying a tank with a ca
pacity Of fifty gallons, there is room In
the craft for another tank Of the same
size. This would give Mr.. Collier suf-
flcient gasoline to carry him across the
ocean.
The air craft will sit lightly on the
water and in this position can make
from sixty to seventy-five miles an
hour. 1t is unsuitable, and this, with
its speed, removes most Of the danger
Of descending to the water in flight.
All parts of the flying boat have been
finished, and 1t will take about two
weeks longer to assemble them. The
craft resembles the naval flying boat.
but is several feet longer, and its en-
gine will have three times the horse
power

teen states-Aim of Director Smith.
Guthrie, Okla. - The appearance In
this city on Wednesday evening, June
rs, Of the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute
band was the occasion Of much en-
thusiasm among the music loving pub
lie. The schedule Of this band, under
the management Of the we'll known J.
D. Stevenson, covers seventyfour cit
les and towns In fourteen states. The
stop here was the twenty-first in the
present series.
Under the direction of Captain N.
Clark Smith, formerly bandmaster Of
the Eighth regimental Illinois state
militia, the student band plays large
ly melodies and folk songs Of the col
ored people interpreted and arranged
for band music. In handling this mu-
sic Captain Smith has something more
in view than the mere applause Of the
populace. He wishes rather in the
main to teach the beauty and dignity
Of Negro music. Lest through the
symphonies and variations Of the band
the audience should miss the real in
depreciation Of the melodies Captain
Smith has thrown on the canvas the
story Of "Steal Away" that the audi
ence may glance up at the picture OF
series of pictures and read there the
story of the struggles Of the old folks
Of fifty years ago seeking to steal away
to the valley to pray. go .. t.ra7.'' =
Thus glancing at the picture the au-
dience can then interpret the band
music. But this is for the older people.
Captain Smith has still another story
he wishes to tell. 1t is for the modern
Negro to measure up to this present
day civilization. Here are a farmer
and his wife, dull, slow, quiet, labor

Why flout the summer girl. my son?
Why criticise her attitude?
Why ban her from the whirl, my son.
With carping word and platitude?
What If she fickle proves. my son?
Are not all breezes by the sea?
It merely you behooves. my son.
To know just when she teases thee.
The summer girl in love. my son.
8 lesson In futility.
She's like the clouds above. my son,
Least trusted in tranquility.
Her face Is fair and fresh, my son,
Her heart like airy thistledown.
Her arms are fails that thrash, my son,
Her hair q fairy missal crown.
Her life's a butterfly, my son.
She suns herself, and in review
You see her flutter by. my son.
To flowers that are fresh and new
But wish not otherwise my son.
IT'S fieeting things that please us most
Compete with other guys. my son.
And. II you win. neglect to boast.
