The reason Vinol is so successful in
such cases is because the active medic.
inal principles of cod liver oil contained
in Vinol rebuilds wasting tissues and
supplies strength and vigor to the nerves
and muscles while the tonic iron and
wine assist the red corpuscles of the
blood to absorb oxygen and distribute
it through the system, thus restoring
health and strength to the weakened,
diseased organs of the body.
If Vinol fails to help you, we return

Size and Power of the German
Howitzers Startling.

1OWllZeTS startling.
The one big surprise for military
experts thus far developed in the
European war is the effectiveness
of the heavy guns of the German
field artillery, says the November
Popular Mechanics Magazine, in an
illustrated article. Never before
have such terrible engines of ami
hilation been carried by an invad-
ing army as those used in the as
saults upon the forts at Liege.
1t had long been realized that
more powerful guns would be need
ed in the field if modern inland
Notifications were to be made to
fall before an army, but there was
apparent security in the fact that
guns large enough for such a pur-
pose would be too large to be
transported from point to point
Even were motive power available,
the enormous weight of the guns
would make all but the hardest
of paved highways impossible for
them. But the development of the
internal!combustion tractor solved
the transportation problem, while
that of hauling heavy weights over
soft ground was solved by the in
vention of a detachable tread for
the rims of gun-carriage wheels.
With these for use on bad roads. it
has been possible for the Germans
to rush to the front their enormous
lin. howitZers, which are nearly
as great as the American IL in
coast defense guns and weigh 20
tons.
The ingenuity of the Krupp engi-
neers did not stop here. They sue
ceeded in building a gun able to
hurl projectiles through steel and
concrete walls, such as those at
Liege, almost as easily as if the
works were of lath and plaster. The
story of carnage and destruction
wrought by a single shell from this
masterpiece burdens the imagina-
ton. Profound secrecy has clothed
the details of the construction of
the machine, which was invented
some eight years ago, tested and for
obvious reasons subsequently pro-
nounced a failure. 1t fires a 16.5in.
projectile, and when used at Liege
against Fort Loncin was mounted
on base of concrete having a 100
#. radius. A tunnel leading to a
subterranean chamber was eXcavat-
ed some distance at the rear, from
which the gun was fired by cleo
tricity.

Autumn.

There's a chill in the breezes at
twilight,
Our long days how short they
have grown;
The fields lie all bare of the harvest;
Can it be that summer is gone?
Oil where has it gone to, wonder,
The summer we thought would
be so long?
The time seems so short looking
backward
Since we harked for the first
robins song.
And when in the joy of the spring
time
We plowed and sowed early and
late,
And thought of the autumn and
harvest,
1t seemed a long time to wait.
But work filled each day to DER
flowing;
The weeks and the months flew
so fast,
There was haying, then harvest
and threshing;
/ Ere we knew it, the waiting was
past.
In the heat and the drouth of the
summer
Some said that no crops we
would get;
We can see now. the harvest is
gathered.
How useless our worry and fret.
For there is promise that is given
To all those who toll on the land,
That there shall be seedtime and
harvest,
AS long as this old world shall
stand.
