What Then?-The Family Suf- ferS, the Poor Mothers Suf- fer-MrS. Becker Meets This Distressing Situation.

Collinsville, III. suffered from a nervous break down and terrible head aches, and was tired all over, totally worn out and too discouraged to enjoy life, but as l had four in family and sometimes eight or nine boarders, kept on working despite my suffering.
 .' saw Ninol advertised and decided to try it, and within two weeks l noticed a decided improvement in my condition and now am well woman. " Mrs. ANA BECKER, Collinsville, Ill.
 There are hundreds of nervous, run down, overworke ed women in this vicinity who are hardly able to drag around and who we are sure would be wonderfully benefited by Vinol as Mrs. Becker was.
 The reason Vinol is so successful in building up health and strength in such cases is because it combines the medici- nal tissue building and curative elements of cod's livers together with the blood making, strengthening properties of tonic iron. We ask every weak, ner- vous, rundown man or woman in this vicinity to try bottle of Vinol on our guarantee to return their money If 1t fails to benefit.

Our Public Servants

Our public servants they must be From human frailties fully free. A single fault will fatal prove
 As they before us meekly movel Our minister must surely show
 4 perfect manhood here below! His very clothes must have look Like some new, bright, religious
 book
 Our conscience he must ne'er alarm, Lest high strung nerves should suf-
 fer harm
 sweet words, like sugar-coated pills, Must cure our souls of all their ills, Our doctor, he must please us too, Or ike a tfemp, out he will go! When we get well we want no bills Forced on us, like his horrid pilIsi Dur editor must all things see,
 But ne'er condemn Tn you or mel While he public target is
 For any man to slap his "phiz" If he should fail t1 print the news, For his poor sheet we'll have no usei But if he dares print ali that's true, His rashness he will surely ruei But time now fails Us half to tell How all such servants may do well, And run for us the narrow path And so escape our righteous wrath BuI better still lets go to school --.s And learn anew the golden rule, Then those who're served and those
 who serve
 Will get the best they all deserve!

Tn one room a machine winding bandages was to be seen and 1t was usually at work, while in ano- ther room they were playing cards. The library and reading room Is very attractive. Icing furnished in green. People have been very generous in giving books already and more are pro. missed. MT. Everett Brown gave five dollars to be used in that room, and someone gave papers for the parlor, md Miss Louise Grosvenor has given photographs which she bought abroad, to make the room doubly attractive. And at the same time someone else of- fered to put the paper on in leisure time. As time goes on we shall hope to record other gifts that will make our home attractive. During the evening Miss Katherine Seward of Putnam who was visiting friend rem defed two delightful melodies on the piano, and before the gathering was over the toast of the evening, (wfitten by membetj was read as follows: Years ago in the sale where the Mash
 noqESt flows,
 The smoke from the shrines of our
 foretathers rose
 On this htli in fair Pomfret our Altar
 we raise,
 May it's fire burn as brightly as those
 Of old days:
 For the service of Man May that be
 our creed,
 And wide be our doors to those who
 have need,
 Of the service that springs from the
 heart and the brain, May those who have need never seek
 it in vain.

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE

Gratifying Record for Teachers and
 Officials

The ttendance Of the pupils in the public schools for the first ten weeks of the school year has been gratifying to school officials and teachers. According to the reports made to the superintend- ent of schools by the teachers there has been comparatively little irregular attendance which has not been oc- casioned by sickness or by exclusion from school on account of contagious disease. This results in a considerable list of pupils who have not been ab- sent, tsrdy or dismissed. The follow ing pupils have a perfect attendance record for the first quarter of the school year, which closed Nov. l3:
