NNOL DID ME-
A WORLD OF GOOD
Woman Seventy-Five Years
Old Exhausted by Effects of
Grippe, Restored to Strength
by VinOI.

Canton, Miss.-}"I am seventy-fve
years old, and contracted a severe cold
and cough due to a case of LaGrippe, so
that l lost my strength and became very
weak and feeble. Vinol was recon-
mended to me and after taking it for
some time, i can truly say it has done
me a world of good. The cold is gone,
and my cough is practically cured and
it has built up my strength, so | feel
active and well again. | think lot of
Vinol, and tell all my friends about what
it has done for me. Mrs. LIZZIE BALD
WIN, Canton, Miss.
Old people may regain much of their
former strength and vigor by taking
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron
tonic, on which so many elderly people
depend for good health. Vinol sharpeas
the appetite, aids digestion, enriches the
blood and in this natural manner creates
strength.
The reason Vinol is so efficacious in
such cases is because it contains in
delicious concentrated form all the
medicinal curative elements of cod liver
oil, with tonic, blood building iron added.

Constipation a
Penalty of Age

Nothing is so essential to health
in advancing age as keeping the
bowels open. 1t makes one feel
younger and fresher and forestalls
colds, piles, feyers and other de-
pendent ills.
Cathartics and puragatives are
violent and drastic in action and
should be avoided. A mild, effective
laxatve-tonic, recommended by ply
sicians and thousands who have
used it, is the combination Of simple
herbs with pepsin sold by druggists
everywhere under the name Of DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. The price
is fifty cents and one dollar a bottle.

BISHOP cARRoLL,s JUBILEE

Helena, Mont, Sept. 23.-The salcer-
dotal jubilee of the Rt. Rev. John p.
Carroll, bishop of the Roman Catholic
diocese of Helena, was made the oc-
casion for an elaborate celebration to-
day. The celebration was in COM
memoration of Bishop Carrolls ordi-
nation to the priesthood 25 years ago.
The principal feature of the day was
a pontificial high mass at which
Bishop Carroll was the celebrant The
church was thronged with representa-
tives of the clergy and laity of the
entire diocese. Bishop Carroll is so
years old and a native of Dubuque,
Iowa. His education was received in
St Joseph's college, in his native city,
and at the ecclesiastical seminary in
Montreal. In 1894 he became presi-
dent of ST. Joseph's college and con-
tinued to fill that position until he
was elevated to the bishoprie ten
years later.

new MARKETS FOR
AMERICAN
GOODS
AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND
OFFER OPPORTUNITY TO
TRADERS

Philadelphia, Sept. 23-The coinci-
dence of the war and the opening of
the Panama canal gives the United
States a chance to double its trade
with Australia and New Zealand, ae-
cording TO DR.. Albert A. Snowden,
foreign trade commissioner for the
National Association of Manufacture
turers. The nations OF Germany, Aus
tria, France, Belgium, Italy, Holland
and Switzerland, which in 1912 sup
piled Australia with goods worth $67,-
447, 500 and New Zealand with goods
worth $5,4S9, $3.50, are practically pre-
vented by mobilizations or actual mil
itary operations from producing COM
modities for export.
DR.. Snowden says that the United
States can produce the goods and fill
practically all of Australians standing
order at an acceptable price United
States exports to Australia and New
Zealand in 1912 amounted to 4,O69,-
09O He does not think that in the
expansion movement Great Britain
need be feared. The mother country
has always stood first on the colony
books, but British factories in wal
time, he believes, will have all they
can do to keep that position.
Most of the staple Australian de
mands. according to Dr., Snowden, car
be supplied in America From every
one of the continental exporting ma
tions Australia buys most heavily il
textiles and apparel Almost all o
this class of articles, DR.. Snowder
thinks, are being made or can bt
made satisfactorily in the United
States, and in spite of the 5 per cen
tariff preference in favor of Grea
Britain.
Other articles made in America TO
which the Austrian demand is heav,
include automobiles, drugs, cameras
iron and steel and railway iron, hard
ware, glassware, lamps, lanterns, mu
| sical instruments. fresh and dries
fruits, spirits, tobacco, paper ant
stationery, boots and shoes, habel
dashery, and canned goods.
The exchange proposition offer
practically no prvblem at all, in d.
Snowden's opinion. The Panam
canal opens to Australia the enormou
consuming markets of eastern an
central United States for her primar
products, such as meat, nutter, chees
and other agricultural commodities
! Although Australia and New zealan
together hold the worlds record pc
capita expectation and importation
DIR. Snowden believes that the Unite'
States can take quite as much ais tn
British continent colony can give.

BOALT EXPLAINS THAT ENSIGN RICHARDSON
HIMSELF TOLD "LEY DE FUGA" STORY
BY FRED L. BOALT.

Vera Cruz, Mex, July 81 heard
from that ''ley de fuga" story, sure
enough, and in the way 1 had antici-

The first hint 1 had that was in
bad" with General Funston came last
Monday, when a note was delivered to
me from. Captain Burnside, formerly
military attache to the American en-
bassy in Mexico City.
The note said that General Funston
wished to speak with me for a few
minutes at headquarters.
General FunstOn's first words were:
"Mr. Boalt, you seem to have been
dipping your pen in vermillion ink,
and he flashed a clipping of the 'ley
de fuga" story under my eyes.
did you write that?" he asked.
"Your name is over it.
81 wrote it," said.
81 am instructed by the war de-
partment," General Funston went on,
ito tell you that you must either
prove the allegations in this story or
be deported by the next transport"
LESS than 4S hours is not much
time" l objected.
81 am sorry" the general replied,
''but 1 am given no option in the mat
ter. The war departments instruc-
lions are very explicit. You must
prove the story or go day after to-
morrow"
General Funston" 1 said, 81 got
that story from the officer himself,
Ensign -."
He cut me short. 81 do not wish to
know his name" he said quickly.
Later in the day handed the gen.
eraI statement in writing, in which
set forth how came to get the "Iey

All Roads Lead to Putnam Aug. to

Windham County is indeed fortu. nate in securing Chautauqua Week with such eminent speakers and mu- sical combinations.
 The Chautauqua people are also for tunate in their selection of Putnam in which to pitch their great tent, on ac. count of its accessibility both by troll ley and steam CATS. Several trunk lines of state built road center here so that auto parties from many miles in any direction can easily take advan- tage of these fine lectures and concerts. The selection of the High school grounds as the location of the tent will give ample parking room, while our several garages will be able to furnish supplies to all who come.
 This is an opportunity for all Put nam people to pull together for the general good, an opportunity seldom offered city of this size. COR.
