AFTER SICKNESS
Mrs. Gardner Tells How to Restore
Ones Strength

Ones Strength
So many people are asking how to
recover their strength after severe
sickness that we are publishing this
information for their benefit.
After grippe, pleurlsy, pneumonia
or any Illness what you need is new
strength and better blood.
The most certain way to get this is
by taking Vinol, our delicious cod liv-
er and iron preparation.
Mrs. NJ. T. Gardner, Chicago, H.,
says: after a very serious opera
tion ] was total invalid for nearly
year and a canvalescent for months
thereafter, | gave the remedies of a
number of eminent specialists thor
ough trial, but without deriving the
slightest benefit. Vinol was recon-
mended. Without the least faith in
the merits of the medicine, took it
faithfully, and it seemed to bring
back the old color to my cheeks and
the elasticity to my step which had
despaired of ever recovering. | can
say, conscientiously. that for nervous
rundown people, Vinol is an excel
lent remedy"
Try bottle of Vinol. Your money
will be returned if it does not restore
your vitality and strength. w L.

LIGHT AND FLOWERS.
Why a Garden Is More Fragrant BY
Niart Than by Day.


The light we receive from stars Of
the first magnitude. like Vega. Is equal
approximately 10 a forty thousand. mil
lionth part al that Of the sun. II Is cal
culatcd that the total light received
from the lesser stars is equal TO that OF
5000 stars OF the first magnitude, or
sixth part OF that which is sent TO us
from the moon. ie '''
Light exercises mechanical pressure
which can be measured in the labora-
tory 1t has been shown by expert
ments with artificial light that IN its
production enormous quantities Of en-
ergy are disSlpated.
In an ordinary wax candle the total
energy which is transformed into light
is really but per cent. Gas and kero-
sene lamps are not more economical
On the other hand. the glow worm
transforms into light. by means yet UNI
known. 90 per cent Of the total energy
expended.
1t is known that light influences very
largely the aroma Of flowers. A garden
is more fragrant when IL Is shaded
than when the sun Is allowed TO shine

is the conclusion OF a Frenchman who
has recently made vast number Of ex-
periments. That which affects the fra
GRANGE Of flowers is not the oxygen Of
the atmosphere. as has been commonly
supposed. but the light.
According to tue same authority. the
intensity OF the perfume exhaled by a
flower depends upon the pressure OF

tends 10 throw out the essential oils
that produce the odor. and the action
Of the solar light diminishes the pres

ORIGIN OF THE PEARL.
The Aneisnts Thought II Was a Drop
Of Dew From Heaven.

OF Dew From Heaven.
No record exists or even tradition as
TO the discovery Of the first pearl. The
mystery OF its origin has doubtless con-
tributed In no small degree to render it
the prime favorite that it has ever been
in the eyes OF the Orientals.
From time immemorial the nations
Of antiquity have used the pearl TO
decorate their persons and adOrn their
temples aud We find many curious be
liefs existing as TO its origin. The one
most prevalent in Pliny's time was
that pearls were formed from the dews
Of heaven. falling into the open shells
at breeding time. and IL was in allusion
TO this pretty concelt that a noble Vene.
tian lady named Corraro had n gold
medal struck Clearing the date 1920
ON the reverse side of which is an open
shell receiving the drops OF dew from
heaven which form into pearls as they
fall The motto was "Rore divine"
(by the divine dew.
In these more practical but less poetic
days the generally accepted theory IS
that some foreign substance. possibly
even grain Of sand. having by accl-
dent entered the shell of the oyster. n
certain amount of irritation Is induced
which causes the emulation of pearly
secretion Qknown as nacrel. and this
effcctually covers up the intruder, and
also that with the growth of the oyster
the pearl increases in size.
The pearl, unlike all other gems, re
qulres no assistance from man to en-
nance it's value, or from art to add one
iota to It's perfect loveliness.-
