4 GOOD MEDICINE
FOR POOR BLOOD
Mrs. Brunson of BelIefontaine,
Ohio, Believes Vinol Is the
Best Remedy in the World.
Her Personal Experience.

Belefontaine Ohio My blood was
very poor and was in weak, nervous,
rundown condition. | tried different
medicines without benefit and one day
my druggist told me about Ninol. In all
took four bottles and certainly got the
results was looking for 1t built me
up in every way, blood, strength and
nerves, and | tell my friends it is the
best medicine or earth. Many of
them have used it and found it so. "
Mrs. EARL BRUNsoN, Bellefontaine,
Ohio.
AS lone as the blood is impoverished,
thin and poor you will be weak, pale and
tired all the time.
Ninol, our delicious cod liver and iron
tonic, supplies iron to the blood, puri-
fies and enriches it, while the cod liver
elements contained in Vinol creates
strength, and rebuilds wasting tissues.
Vinol is not a secret nostrum, simply
the medicinal elements of the Gods liv-
ers, with the useless nauseating oil elm
mated, and tonic iron added. Try bottle
of Vinol with the understanding that
your money will be returned if it does
not make you stronger, feel younger and
give you an added interest in life.

For Congress
First District
+ rank l.. Greene
of St. Adams

Two years in Congress under a
Democratic administration and with
Democratic majority in the Nationa,
House, Congressman Greene has made
himself popular influential member,
winning the respect of representatives
of all parties and making for himself
reputation as legislator that few men
have attained in so short time.
Congressman Greene is a Vermonter of
the highest type. He has devoted years TO The
upbuilding OF Vermont and never has he
failed to raise his voice or use his pen in her
behalf He believes in his State and her
people, and in Congress he represents the
true spirit Of the Vermonter.
No mistake can be made no mistake
will be made-by returning Congressman
Greene to Washington.
To show the high regard Vcrmonters
have for him his majority should be made
the largest ever recorded for Republican
nominee for Congress in Vermont
Every Vermontcr, regardless of party ties,
can vote for Mr. Greene and know he has
performed "a duty to himself, to his State and
to the Nation.

MANY IDEAS or CONVERSATION
ences Of Opinion az to Art Of
Exchanging Ideas.

A Norwegian writer has been poking
fun at our methods of conversation.
It is good for US occasionally to see
ourselves as others see US. This critic
Is intensely amused at the weil-bred
American person who regards II as i'm
polite to talk about anything that is
interesting to himself, to refer to any
thing that the other person does not
know. or to disagree with tAs ex-
pressed opinion Of another.

tations. conversation in the real sense

Very different are the ideas of lit

not DR.. Johnson say that every man
has a right to speak the truth, and
every other man q right to knock him
down for It?
Hazlitt gives a description of con-
versation as It was among the illumi-
natl of his day, the men who were in
terested in ideas" "They squabble
and quarrel over an idea like dogs"
he says, "but they pick it bare to the
bone; they masticate it thoroughly"

VENICE SECOND ITALIAN PORT
Harbor Capable Of Accommodating
Many Ships, but Is Unequal to
Demand Made Upon 1t.

The fact that 1t Is separated from
the city and almost hidden is the ex-
PLANTATION Of the legend that Venice is
practically dead" as a port, whereas
in reality it Is the second in import
ance in Italy as a point of trans-ship-
ment. The port consists of two piers
(east and west), Of the quays which
surround the basin, and of warehouses,
ETC., at the east, but is inadequate to
the demands made upon it. The har-
larger number Of ships, which may en-
ter the lagoon by the Lido and Mala-
mocco and anchor in the numerous
canals and basins. The commercial
port is, however, much more restrict
ed, and close to the city, and consists
of three parts, the basin of st. Marks,
the Giudecca canal, and the maritime
station. The basin of st. Marks,
which at one time constituted the
chief port of Venice, serves at pres
ent principally as passage, or at
most as anchorage for smaller ships.
The Giudecca canal receives ships of
various kinds, but generally sailing
craft, which brings flrewood from
Istria, likewise ships with cargoes Of
salt for the government storehouses
and with grain for the STICKY mill,
or coal and other merchandise, when
the maritime station is full.

Exotic Butterflies.

Mrs. A. Fl. Clarke of Earls court
has given to the University of Lon.
don the collection of continental and
exotic macrolepidopter made by her
late husband, who was one of the
senior fellows of the chronological
society. The section of exotic butter
flies consists Of nearly 5000 speci-
mems from all parts Of the world, and
is particularly valuable as a reference
collection, not merely from the num-
Der and careful selection of the forms
represented (some being of great rar.
ity), but from the perfect condition
and beauty of the specimens them
selves. The whole donation COM
prises over 10000 specimens all care
fully set, arranged and labeled; and
to 1t Mrs. Clarke has added her hus-
bands working library of entomology
cal literature. After the work of ar
ranging and cataloging has been con-
cluded, the collections will be avail
able for reference by entomologists
generally upon application to the pro-
lessor of zoology at the university

Luscious Watermelon.

Watermelon, to be fit to eat, must
be ripe. No halfway ripeness will
do. But IL 1t is fully ripe and is
chilled through to boot, it Is 30 deli
cious served simply in slices or
wedges that no form of preparation
could make 1t more worth while.
Chill 1t on the ice for several hours,
II possible for ten or twelve, before
serving 1t. 1t is never so good serv-
ed a second time. But 1t can be
kept in fit condition to eat If the part
that is left from the first serving is

The nearest house to the junction
was mile. The country round about
was infested with jayhawkers and
horse thieves. No agent at the rail-
way station had thus far been able to
collect money for tickets from 60 per
cent Of the persons who Travelled on
the road. They either demanded tick

revolver or used the same implement
