A MESSAGE To WOMEN

When you are "just ready to drop,
when you feel so weak that you can
hardly drag yourself abou.-and be-
cause you have not slept well, you
get up as tired-out next morning as

ly rundown condition for several
weeks but two bottles of Vinol put
me on my feet again and made me
strong and well. Vinol has done me
more good than all the other medi-
cines l ever took"
If the careworn, rundown women,
the pale, sickly children and feeble
old folks around here would follow
Miss Dumas example. they, too,
would soon be able to say that Vinol,
our delicious cod liver and iron rem
edy, had built them up and made
them strong.

and body-builder, and we sell it un-
der a guarantee of satisfaction. You
get your money back If Vinol does

GAMING THE CULPRIT.
The Marks II Leaves Look Worse Than
the Whaling Feels.

In Il London police court recently a
teacher in Il public school was prose
cuted for assaulting a pupil by Gaming
him. The magistrate decided that he
had not used undue violence and there
fore discharged the master
In this case the father of the boy
who had been caned took him to Il
physician on the evening of the day
of his castgation and this doctor found
about fifteen wheals on the lads back.
This was evidence of severe punish
ment, but the magistrate considered IL
was not too severe for the Offense
which had caused it, and said that
parents had formed an exaggerated
opinion of the amount of force that
had been used.
Commenting on this the London Ian
Get says:
"A blow from cane causes at the
time an appreciable amount OF pain
(Which. by the way, is what it is in
tended to do). but it leaves behind a
mark quite out of proportion in its
formidable character to the amount Of
suffering which it causes after the first
sting has been endured. If any one
doubts this, having perhaps avoided
the opportunity to observe it in the
course of an exemplary boyhood, the
experiment is easily made. Any small
boy will be willing to do his share by
infiicting upon the seeker after truth
a sharp cut or two, the results of
which will no doubt be distinctly felt
for time. but only for about an hour
while there will be visible on the well
protected and tender skin Of the back
for some days wheals which would
harrow the heart of any mother"
In other words, boys back after a
Gaming looks far worse than il feels.

A LIGHT IN AN AUTOMOBILE.
Use One of the Spark Plugs When You
Have No Matches.

Have No Matches.
Did you ever while making an auto
mobile tour find yourself on Il lonely
country road, perhaps miles from the
nearest house. and suddenly discover
that you had no matches? If you
were anxious to light the lamps or ea-
ger for smoke such Il discovery
would not prove at all conducive TO
the smoothness of your temper.
There is simple way in which any
one may secure light without the aid
of matches. You may be anxious for
a smoke or it may be getting dark and
you want to light your lamp, but in
any event you can secure the neces-
sary light if you will follow these d.
rections:
Unscrew one of the spark plugs and
let it lie on the cylinder head Wrap a
small wisp of waste around the end of
any small stick of wood or if there is
none handy wrap it around the end Of
a screwdriver or any other tool. Dip
the waste in the gasoline until it is
thoroughly soaked OF course you
should have only a very small piece of
waste; otherwise the blaze will he too
big for you to handle. After dipping
this in the gasoline lay it close to the
spark plug and turn the engine over I'M
til this plug sparks. This will ignite
the waste and you will have little
torch sufficient for lighting your lamp.
Even if there is heavy rain or snow.
you can secure light in this manner
sufficient for your needs.-Detroit Free
Press.
