MRS. W. W. LAKE

Mrs. W. w. Lake OF Aberdeen,

tried different remedies but nothing
seemed TO do me any good until
took Vinol, from which / received
great benefit. Ny cough Is almost
entirely gone and I am strong and
well again. and I am glad to recon-
mend Vinol to others who suffer as I
did"
Mrs. Lakes recovery was due to
the combined action of the medicinal
elements extracted from Gods livers
combined with the blood making
and strength creating proper ties of
tonic iron, which are contained in
Vfnol, and her cough disappeared as
a natural result.

St. Joseph's School Notes

The most interesting class period of
the Primary Department each week is
the few minutes devoted on Friday af-
ternoon to spelling matches, when the
little tots of the different classes step
forward with the thought that they can
not be beaten by any of their size
Or age.
Yesterday the Fifth Grade blushed
and hung their heads as they witnessed

Gus in an Arithmetic contest held with
ITEM. Francis Nachazel still remains
the star of the class.
How is success won? This can be
best answered by Master Lawrence
Lalcnde, who received his Third Grade
, emotion card in the Violin Depart
ment last Thursday afternoon.
One of the most notable features of
our young Freshmens, since the find
ing of II. c. ID. have come up in Alge-
IRA, is the intelligent way in which
they roll up their sleeves and taking
"Dig" for their motto find the time be-
tween classes too short to accomplish
their chase.

More Women Marry Than We lmas

In the January Woman's Home
Companion Ida NJ. Tarbell writes q
most illuinative and interesting ar.
ticle entitled What Women Are
Really Doing" Miss Tarbell takes
occasion to refute with facts, which
she has gathered by making care
full study of the Thirteenth Census
some of the false ideas of the won
an question which are spread by
country. The platform says that
less than half of the forty-five mil.
lion women of the country marry
Miss Tarbell answers this allegation
with the following statement Of facts
IF we consider the sex as a whole
regardless OF age, this Is true. We
have In the United States now A.,
639.9S9 females including all from
one year and under to one hundred
years and over. Fifty-two and sew
en-tenths per cent of these-babes
maids, and women-are single, that
is literally less than half of the sex
are married. But drop out those
not yet of manageable age, and
you have different story. There will
of course. be a difference of opinion
about what is manageable age
but let us call II nineteen or over
II We settle on that. we must drop
at once from our estimate something
over twenty millions of the sex. II
, puts a different complexion at once
on the marriage percentage. AS a
fact, seventy per cent of those who
are fifteen years or more old marry
and IL we raise the age to twenty
eighty and a half per cent mar
ry: to twenty-five. eighty-six and sew
en-tenths per cent marry.
But, grant these figures to be
correct-it Is hard, even for an ora
tor. to defy census-and still the
platform cries that women don't
marry as they once did The truth
is they marry more freely than they
did i'm 1900 or i'm 1890. There has
been a gain Of nearly two per cent
in the number of marriages of WON
en- over fifteen i'm the last twenty
years; and two per cent. when deal.
ing with nearly thirty millions, is a
considerable number"
