Miss.
AS one grows old their organs act
more slowly and less effectually than in
youth, circulation is poor, the blood
gets thin, the appetite poor and diges-
ton weak. Vinol, our delicious cod liver
and iron tonic, is the ideal strengthened
and body builder for old folks because
it creates a good healthy appetite,
strengthens digestion, enriches the
blood, improves circulation and in this
natural manner builds up, strengthens
and invigorates feeble, rundown, nerv-

Winter Days.

The long cold winter days have
come, the saddest of the year;
The bare brown earth is strewn with
leaves all withered, brown and sere
The skies are dull of leaden hue,
the sun keeps out of sight;
The long slim branch,s of the trees
throw ehostly shades at night.
The wind throws shivering whispers
through the fir trees on the hill,
And sends cold chill to ones heart
with momentary thrill.
The frightened hare leaps cross the
road just as the day is done;
A murky moon rides through the
sky by grey clouds Overrun
The night shades close in quickly,
the morn dawns grey and cold;
The sun is covered up with clouds
when it's an hour old.
The wind strikes at the easement
and rattles at the pane,
And now and then the air is cooled
by frequent showers of rain,
The birds are fly ing southwark to
the land of sun and flowers,
To fiutter in the springlike air, and
sing in leafy bowers.
All of the farmers work is done, the
corn is in the barn,
The housewife sits beside the fire
and spins the winters yarn.
The long cold winter days have
come, the saddest of the year;
The flowers droop their pretty heads
and know that winters here.
They tuck their seed pods in the
ground in such a cunning way,
And smuggling in their cozy beds
await the month of May.

Gasoline From Natural Gas.

The extraction of gasoline from
casing. head gas (natural gas from
oil wells) has become one of the
important adjuncts of the natural
gas industry in the United States.
The production is increasing rapidly
the quantity produced in 1918 hav-
ing almost doubled that of 1912,
owing to the installation of a great
er number of plants and to the ad-
vance in the price of gasoline.
The uses of natural-gas gasoline
are many and varied. 1t is princi-
pally used for raising the standard
of naphthas or low-grade distillates
consumed in motors; it is also used
for lighting; and it can be used like
regular gasoline in all the arts.
There is an ever-increasing demand
for thisigas to be used in automo-
biles.

Father Got DAMAGES for Ruined
Daughter.

Hon. Dave Ball and attorney
Eugene Pearson of Louisiana were
here attending circuit court Mon
day in connection with what is
possible the only case of its kind in
the history of American jurispru
dence-a case, it may be said, that
sets a unique precedent, and that
may have healthy effect on the
type of man who thinks every girl
his legitimate prey and who sets
about when opportunity presents
itself to put his theories into prac.
tice. 1t appears that A. M. al
ker of Pike county was accused of
seducing the daughter of A. I.
Ogden, another citizen of that
county, who was his stenographer.
Instead of prosecuting the wrecker
of his daughters happiness the
father employed Col. Ball and
brought a civil suit for damages,
being allowed $4,000 by Pike
county jury. In levying on Wal
ker's tangible property Mr.. Ball
ran across an equity in the old
Painter farm of ITO acres near
Santa Fe, this county. and had it
sold under the judgment obtained.
The land was solo Monday, out in
the meantime a Mrs. Jackson en-
tered as interpleader, claiming that
Walker had no interest in the farm
but that it belonged to her. To
make himself certain Ogden bought
in the Walker equity for $500 and
will await for judicial determine.

resented Walker, and the case is
