Find Health IN a Simple Tonic.
How many women do you know
who are perfectly well, strong and
healthy as woman should be? They
may not be sick enough to lie in bed
but they are rundown, thin, nerv-
Gus, tired and devitalized.
Women are SO active nowadays,
and so much is expected of them,
that they constantly overdo and suf-
fer from headache, backache, nervous
ness and kindred ills.
Such women need Vinol, our deli
cious cod liver and iron tonic with
out oil which will create an appetite,
tone up the digestive organs, make
pure blood and create strength.
Mrs. Walter Price, Biloxi, Miss,
says: 81 was in a rundown condition
for months, had taken several medi-
cfnes but they seemed to do me no
good. Finally Vinol was recommend
ed, and from the first bottle I began

Huertd,S Two Mistakes.

Huerta is the flower of Mexican
Indian. Such Indians have appear ed, ,
on occasions, in the United States.
Huerta is brave. Huerta is masterful.
But even Huerta has never betrayed
possession of high ideals nor wide
social vision.
And Huerta has made mistakes.
Two Of these mistakes, to be
mentioned in passing, but which are
not opposite to the contention of
this article, are: CD his not killing
Zapata when he had the chance; (2)
ais very grievous error in not
killing Villa the time he had him
backed up against wall facing a
fireing squad. 1t was on this later
occasion that he compelled Villa, on
his knees; arms clasped about
Huer1a's legs, to beg Huerta for his
life. Villa has not forgotten that
little episode. And it is fair to
of these two mistakes fits
regretfully though Huerta.s mind as
he sips a drink at the country cluk
and contemplates Villa moveing
irresistibly down on him from the
north; both his coast blocaded by
American warships and all arms anc

CAMPING GROUNDS
FOR The boy SCOUTS
Lake CreSWeIl, Washington Coun.
ty, Has Been Selected.
AN IDEAL PLACE FOR THE BOYS

Lake Creswell, seven miles from
Creswell, Washington county, N. c.,
has been selected as a camping place
for the Boy Scouts this summer.
Rev. Jno. T. Johnson, a prominent
minister of Creswell, has written
the local Scout Masters and answer
ed questions asked by them and
given further information as fol-
lows:
l. Who owns the camping ground
and from whom would permission
have to be obtained to use it? A
stock company, Mr.. c. C. Adams in
charge, Somerset Farm, Creswell
n. G.,
2. Are there buildings of any
nature near that might be used as a
camp-house? Plenty of vacant
buildings.
3. How are the mosquitoes
Could we sleep there without pro-
lection from them? Some mosqui-
toes but not malarial. Yes.
4. How is the bathing? Is there
sandy bottom and good beach? Fine.
Shallow water a good distance out.
Sandy bottom.
5. How is the water supply?
Wells near. Good water.
6. How far is the nearest physi-
elan? His name? DR.. W. Hardi-
son, Creswell. Seven miles.
Somerset, one of the most beauti-
ful old 'before the war" places,
seems such an ideal place for your
purpose that I cannot help adding
just few words more. Would it
excite your curiosity to know that
the lake is on a hill and that the
water flows from and not to the
lake. 1t has no natural outlet and
inflow, yet the water is pure and
sweet, and in olden times the people
had big cisterns which they filled
with lake water. every winter for
summer use. On the lake snore
there is an old water mill that used
the lake water as atnotive power
and here the boys may have de.
licious shower bath every day.
There are fishes" in the lake
many different kinds, large anc
small. The boys may catch all the
small pan fish they want They car

them if they know how, but it is ;

YACClNATE AGAINST
THE TYPHOID FEVER
Free DiSpenSarieS Established in
Forsyth County.
SUCCESS OF TYPHOID VACCINE

Just as we open the papers in the
morning mail our eyes light on the
following announcement in big type
across two columns of North Caro-
lima county paper:
announcement by E. F. Stryck-
land, M. D., of anti-typhoid dispen-
saries in Forsyth county,
Let us hope that this announce
ment is prophetic. Let US hope that
just as we have had a South-wide
crusade against hookworm disease,
we shall now have South-wide
crusade against typhoid fever. Of
course we must keep up the fight
for better sanitation, for screening
houses and killing flies, for proper
safeguarding Of the water supply,
and for proper disposal of sewage.
But no matter how vigilant may be
our efforts in these particulars,
everybody should take the anti-ty.
phoid vaccine. And if there are any
who doubt the efficacy of the treat.
ment, let them read the following
extracts from last years official re-
port of the Surgeon General of the
United States Army. We quote:
1.-The army got through the year
1913 with only two cases of typhoid
fever in the enlisted strength Of
more than $4,000 officers and men
One was that Of man who had no,
been immunized with the typhoid
vaccine, and was believed to have
contracted the fever before he en-:
listed; the other case was among the
troops in China, and though the mar
was immunized in 1911, the history
Of the case is in doubt.
''The Navy, which adopted the
vaccine later than the Army, anc
did not make it's use at once com
pulsorv. had among it's $4,000 jack
les only seven authentic cases of ty.
phold in the year ending last June
Four Of those were treated at re-
mote tropical station. where the
vaccine had deteriorated.
''Such is the wonderful record Of
the prophylactic treatment.
Before the resort to immuniza
ton, typhoid cases in the Army av
eraged about three to a thousano
enlisted strength, or in the neigh
borhood Of $50 cases a year"
AS typhoid fever every summe
takes such fearful toll of human lif,
| and happiness all over the rura
: South, we earnestly urge every Pro
( gressive Farmer reader to see hi
: physician at once and take the ant
typhoid vaccination. We urge thi
as an individual duty, and we ais
, insist that it is the duty Of State
;. and counties to inaugurate system
attic campaigns against typhoid feve
just as DR.. STRICKLAND is doing i
Forsyth county. We should have
South-wide campaign against ty
) phoid fever carried on as vigorousl
; and scientifically as has the campais
I against hOOkWOrm disease.
And now that the Rockefelle
f Sanitary Commission is finding le.
to do in combating hookworm, VIII

emotional drama, Marta of the Low

day and Tuesday The play with it's
tense and tragic character together
with the novelty of background and
atmosphere, created a sensation
throughout the civilized world. The
Famous Players have made an admir-
able film adaptation, preserving the
wild and fervid passion of the play
1t provides an admirable vehicle for
emotional and racial characterization,
because it deals with q new environ
ment. Nine. Kalicb gives an impress
sive and frequently startling piece of
emotional acting. She is by tempera-
ment and in the style of her acquired
gifts a dynamic emotional force, con-
vincing by the sheer power of her
simulated feelings, plus a quick mobile
countenance and q series of physical
gestures and postures that give an
added intensity to the tenser moods
of her art. In several of the dramatic
scenes she thrills the audience and
imparts some of the terror she is try
ling to express. AS piece of emotional
acting, in which feeling is sought to
be expressed at white heat, Nine. ka-
lich's performance is wonderful and
compelling. Every movement, the
level monotony, of grief or the high
lights Of anguish, are expressed with
an almost psychic faithfulness. Her
work is impressive, and stirs one to

An intense story that grips the In

the biggest hit of his stage career.
Because it places the Japanese in q
not too enviable light it never was

story deals with the love of a young
