The camp meeting of the Methodist
held near Darksville, in Berkeley coun-
ty, will break up to-day We paid the
camp visit on Sunday last, where we
found q collection of people estimated
at 8. 900. There were 80 tents arranged
in good order. We heard a sermon by
the Rev. Norval Wilson. the presiding
elder. who, though quite a, young man,
had considerable powers as preacher.
There were, as usual, on all such occa-
sions, some disorderly folks in the OUT
skirts Of the encampment, but we new
er saw more propriety of behavior
amongst SO large an assemblage of
all ages and conditions, than was exhib-
tied during our stay on the grounds

Has Found a Remedy.
Experts declare that the reason
stomach disorders are so common in
this country is due to hasty and care-
less habits Of eating. Stomach
troubles and rundown conditions
usually go together.
John W. Skfllen Of Sidney, Ohio,
says: ~ had a bad stomach trouble
for years, and became SO weak that
I could hardly walk or do any work.
My appetite was poor, and it seemed
impossible to get any relief. Since
taking 'Vinol' / find a remarkable i'm
provement In my health, my digestion
lis much stronger, and / have gained
In weight. I would not be without
Winol."
Vinol makes weak stomachs strong
because 1t strengthens and tones up
the weakened, tired and overtaxed
nerves Of the digestive organs. Vinoi
as easily assimilated by the weakest
stomachs, and is delicious to the taste.
Try a bottle OF vinol with the UNI
derstanding that your money will be
