MACON, GA. CHILD
Made Strong and We'll by Vino

When we tell you that vinol is the best remedy in our whole stock for making weak. pnny, ailing children strong, robust and rosy we are only telling you what has been proved by hundreds of mothers.
 J. l.. Tickling, Macon, Ga, says: "My child was very thin and delicate, no appetite, nervous, and did not sleep we'll Doctors did not help her. vinol was recommended and the change after fair trial was wonder. full. She sleeps soundly all night, has . splendid appetite and has gained in weight. I wish every mother knew what yinol will do for delicate chill dren."
 What vinol did for this little girl 1t will do for every weak and ailing child because sickly children need the strengthening cod liver clements and the tonic iron that vinol con- tains-that is why vinol builds them up quickly and gives them . fine, healthy color.

God and the Farmer

God sat down with the farmer When the noontide heat grew harsh, The one had builded world that day, And the ether had dsained marsh. They sat in the cooling shadow, At the porcsa of the templed wood, And each locked forth on his handi-
 work
 And saw that the work was good. On Gods right haad two cherubs Bent waiting, winged with Ere; On the farmers left his oxen bowed, Deep bosoms marked with miEe; Still chung around the plowshare The dark, mysterious mold, Where the furrow it turned had hszv-
 ed the new Der the chill and churlish old. Jehoyah's face was seen not By OK or grazing kine; But the farmers eyes. were they dazed
 with sun
 Or saw he that look divine? Was it the wind in passing That stroked that farmers hairy Or had Gods own hand of wind and
 flame
 Laid benedietion there? Through mufIiing wiies he fancied Far calls of greeting blew. Where on sounding plains the lords of Hurled down to rear anew. Glad hail from nation builders Crossed faint those dreamland
 bounds, Like brothers cry from distant hill And God spake as the pine tree
 sounds.

Satisfied.

But that it would cost too much to print it, the landlady would probably include this story in her advertise ment every time she needs boarders.
 In answer to an advertisement that was published before the story hap pened, she received as paying guests a lady and gentleman and little girl who had come down in the world
 Their descent was comparatively re- cent, and the lady still mourned de- parted grandeur She had hopes of getting some of it back. however. and to that end she instructed the little girl to pray, on the night of their ar- rival at the boarding house. that God would soon give them their pretty home again.
 The child opened her eyes and looked around the comfortably furn- ished room.
 T don't see anything the matter with this" she said.

"There are seven downy meadows That never before were mown; There were seven fields of brush and
 rock
 Where now is nor brush nor stone. There are seven heifers grazing
 Where but one could graze before. 0 lord of marts-and of broken hearts What have you given me more?h God rose up with the farmer
 When the cool of the evening neared And the one went forth through the
 world He built,
 And the one through the field he
 cleared.
 The stars outlasting labor
 Leaned down o'er the towering soil, And all night long o'er His child there
 leaned
 A toiler more old than toll.
