The possession by France
of The Black Legions" has
long ranked in Germany's
mind and has been factor in
the eternal squabbles of years
standing between the two
countries. While the Berlin
government has never been
very successful in Germaniz-
ing Africa, France, on the
contrary. has recruited her
armies from the Sahara and
has made fearless soldiers
from Algerian mercenaries.
There are no better soldiers
in their own way than the
black and brown men, who.
serving under the tricolor,
have penetrated Upper Alsace.
When fighting in their own
country these men are accom-
panied by their wives. who

The Turcos are almost con-

southern Algerian provinces
against the rowing tribes of
Arab horsemen who continu-
ally harass the French troops.
Half their officers are French
men. the other half rise from
the ranks of the natives.
They are remarkable sharp
shooters.
Long ago the French gov
ernment was convinced that
the Turcos had the necessary
military qualifications and
turned to them to strengthen
her forces. Today France
can call upon some twenty
thousand of these native
troopers. 1t has been known
for several years that France
would use her black soldiers
wherever it was necessary to
defend her interests or
honor.

FEEBLE OLD PEOPLE
Are Told How to Regain Strength
and Vigor t1

AS one grows old and waste of the
system becomes more rapid than re-
pair, the organs act more slowly and
less effectively than In youth, the cir
culation is poor, the blood thin and
digestion weak.
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic without oil is the ideal
strengthened and body-builder for old
folks, for 1t contains the very elements
needed to rebuild wasting tissues and
replace weakness with strength. Vinol
also fortifies the system against colds
and thus prevents pneumonia.
Mrs. Mary Ivey, of Columbus, Ga,
says: "If people only knew the good
Vinol does old people, am sure you
would be unable to supply the de-
mand. / never took anything before
that did me so much good as Vinol.
1t is the finest tonic and strength
creator ever used in my life"

old people, and create strength we
will return your money. George A.
