DANCER FROM GRIPPE
Lies in That Cough and Weak,
Worn-out Condition,

Grippe. pleurisy, pneumonia. these
are greatly to be feared at this time
Of the year.
To prevent grippe from being fol-
lowed by either pleurisy or pneumo-
mia, it is important to drive the last
traces of it out Of the system quickly.
Our advice is to take Vinol, our
delicious cod liver and iron prepara-
tion without oil, and get your strength
and vitality back quickly.
Mrs. A. A. Grabill, Of Strasburg.
Va. says: Grippe left me weak, run
down and with a severe cough, from
which I suffered four years. ! tried
different remedies, but nothing seemed
to do me any good until I took vinol.
from which I received great benefit.
My cough is almost entirely gone, and
I am strong and we'll again. and I am
glad to recommend VinOl to others
who suffer as did"
Try vinol with the certainty
that II 1t does not benefit
you we will give back your money.

CHARMS AS CURES.
Curious Remedies That Were Once
Popular In England.

Popular In England.
Many and varied are the charms that
man has used for the cure of diseases.
In Northamptonshire, England, q few

ed in n piece Of meat and given to q
dog in the belief that the disease be-
comes thereby transferred to the ami

the bread and butter of family whose
heads bear the names Of John and
Joan. Gypsies swear by roast dor
mouse as n cure for whooping cough.
and in Lancashire it is believed that no
child VIII contract that disease who
has ridden upon a bear.
Another "cure" was a snake slung
round the neck for goiter. This was
an old Sussex charm. The Rev. Coker

a servant girl who tried the virtue of
q dead one for the same ailment 1t

throw 1t away, she said she would go
somewhere to get dead mans hand

Earthworms have been used by Not

After Il Was Made.
A window is IN aperture in an other
wise unbroken wall. 1t, the said aper-

sons-one to provide air and the other
to enable the light to penetrate the
cell, thus saving candles. coal oil. gas
or electricity, as the case and cOmmu-
nifty and time may be.
No hotel proprietor ever invented the
window. No record exists Of the age
or origin Of the window, but common
sense teaches us that some cave man
started the custom Of windowing hab-
itations by poking a hole through the
clay wall Of his residence and finding
the resultant light and air good to see
and to feel.
Whereupon Mrs. Cavedweller shifted
contemptuously and fastened the
branch Of a fig tree over the newly in
vented window in such a way as to
keep out as much light as possible.

Organ Pipes.
Rather uncanny it would be to walk
unsuspectingly along some quiet val
ley path and suddenly hear, from some
mountain or cliff overhead, weird,
strange sounds that resemble both the
tone Of human voice and the note Of
a stringed instrument. Yet there are
certain parts of the world which boast
mountains and hills and cliffs that
make these queer noises. In the Pyre-
nees. for instance, there are points
which seem to throw out wild musical
notes when the wind Is blowing from
certain directions. The natives. Of
course, are terribly superstitious re-
garding them. They imagine they pos
sess superhuman powers and that they
are listening to the voices Of the gods
when they hear them.
The scientific explanation Of the phe-
nomenon is simple enough. If it is
cliff from which noises emerge the
face can be seen to be crossed with
deep gullies. These might be CON-
pared, in the purpose. they serve. to
the pipes of an organ. On certain oc.
casions a layer of air seems to get
caught between the cliff and the trees
which border it, closing up the opening
SO that when the wind blows into the
gullies music comes forth So pro-
nounced and continued are the sounds
in some Of the parts that two Of the
cliffs have been named "snorers." It
is interesting to note from this how
man makes use Of the principles adopt
ed through the ages by nature In the
creating of his musical Instruments

AN ARCTIC DAWN. :

The return of the sun after the six
months night Of the polar regions is a
moment not to be forgotten. Ejnar

emotions it aroused
"The loneliness is so immense every
thing seems dead or in a trance, wait

giving sun. AT last the day arrives
when it should appear, but we do not
see 1t, for the weather is cloudy,
stormy and foggy. Not until the fol-
lowing day, Feb. 10. do we see it's red
disk once more. We stand outside the
house waiting. AT the end of half an
hour we begin to grow impatient.
"At last it comes. The glow to the
southwark deepens until it almost
hurts the eyes: the mountain tops are
tinged with rose, slowly extending
downward toward us; then suddenly
a red gold ray is flung out over the
Ice, and we give mighty shout of
wclcOme-a cheer for the herald Of
summer-summer that is to bring Us
our deliverance.
And we are not the only beings that
rejoice, Far up above us sounds the
astonished cry of a raven. 1t was fly
ing eastward, but on seeing the sun it
changes its course and steers right for

heavy wings. and calling. glad as we
to see the sun, q fire worshiper, as also
