PHYSICIANS ENDORSE VINOL
To Create Strength and for Pulmonary
Troubles.

Rundown, debilitated people, those
who need strength, or who suffer from
chronic coughs, colds or bronchitis
may find health in these letters.
DR.. C. L. Dreese, Goshen, N Y,
says In cases where the curative
influence of cod liver oil is needed,
prescribe Vinol, which l find to be far
more palatable and efficacious than
other cod liver preparations. 1t is a
worthy cod liver preparation in which
a physician may have every conf
.dence"
DR.. L. B. Bouchelle of Thomasville,
Ga, says: Il have used Vinol in my
family and in my general practice
with the most satisfactory results. 1t
is exceedingly beneficial to those af-
ficted witt bronchial or pulmonary
troubles, and to create strength"
DR.. w. N. Rand of Evans Mills, N.

In the meantime, truffies are mount
ing up on the estate of NJ. La Foresc,
at Perigueux.
This truffle-hunting is a fine art
here. AS much as one thousand
pounds have been collected on the es-
tate in one day And the business
has only just started when they are
gathered
Women peasants with long expert
ence scrub them delicately with hot
water and nail brushes, and others
peel them just as carefully and gently
much in the manner in which pota-
toes are scraped. For, as they come
from the earth, they look like black
fungi, and run about the size of po-
tatoes.
This district of Perigueux and
Sorges supplies the whole world with
truffes. They are finer here than
anywhere else.
Like mushroom, they need period
of warmth and rain to insure a good
season, which extends through Octo-
Der, November, December and jan
uary,
In England the truffles are chiefly
used as a hors d'oevre and vegeta-
BILE. A famous hotel chef stews his
truffies in champagne or Madeira, or
moistens them with a few drops of
liquor brandy, and then bakes them
This year they are exceptionally
good and plentiful. The price of the
best fresh imported truffies in the
west end of London just now is from
$3.50 to $4.25 a pound, as compared
with from 81 to SIS a pound last year.

PIG SCENTS DELICACY
HID IN THE GROUND
Trufes Gathered By Aid of Specially Trained Pig
Finds Them But Not Allowed to Eat Them

this breed have price above pearls,
This is the tragedy of the truffle
pigs luxurious life.
From youth upward it is fed on the
daintiest morsels. Nothing is given
that might spoil its fine taste La
Trule is born with this fine taste,
which belongs to it's breed and which
has been carefully fostered for years.
When it has grown up a little it is
led forth one fine morning at the end
of slack rope on great truffle-hupt-
ing expedition The man who leads it
has no more exact knowledge as ~
where the truffles are actually hidden
in the earth than a purblind owl.
uBt La Trule can scent one, so fine
is it's instinct, if it be hidden nearly
two feet under the surface.
Down goes the head with its pecu
liarly long, well-bred snout, and the
pig is roofing at the brown earth with
all the energy it possesses.
AS has been said, this instinct is in
fallible. A dozen inches or more down
the pig finds the truffle it had nose1.
Forth shoots the snout, its mouth is
just opening to receive its just reward
when it is hauled back with a sudden
painful and not to be denied jerk, and
a sharp pointed stick prods it away
from its delicious morsel.

more than a year He is North Geor-
gian, native of one of the mountain
counties, but he likes South Georgia
best now, and is not going back to his
native county when released.
There are several reasons for this
determination upon his part, chief of
which, doubtless, is the ignominy of
having served as a convict and the at
tendant modification in going back to
his old home. Sumter county is good
enough for him, he has said, and he is
going to stay and become a good citi-
zen. This convict will have finished
his term of service this week. His

Perizeux, France, Feb 15-The

as it painfully happens, the most un-

Its splendid lot in life is to hunt for

Truly disappointing is its lot in lif2,

would not change her position, for
it has it's own compensations-if only
