RUNDOWN WOMEN
Find Health in a Simple Tonic.


How many women do you know
who are perfectly well, strong and
healthy as woman should be? They
may not be sick enough to lie In bed
but they are rundown, thin, neTv-
Gus, tired and devitalized.
Women are so active nowadays,
and so much is expected of them,
that they constantly overdo and suf-
fer from headache, backache, nervous
ness and kindred ills.
Such women need Vinol, our deli
cious cod liver and iron tonic with
out oil which will create an appetite,
tone up the digestive organs, make
pure blood and create strength.
Mrs. Walter Price, Biloxi, Miss,
says: IT was in a rundown condition.
for months, had taken several medi-
cines but they seemed to do me no
good. Finally Vinol was recommends
ed, and from the first bottle began
to improve until am strong and well
as ever"
Try bottle of vinol with the I'M
derstanding that your money will be
returned If it does not help you

Cold slaw served in green pep
per shells is a dainty bit for

When ironing is the time to use
the fire for preparing stocks for
soups, or doing ones baking.
To take machine oil out of white
material, soak the spot in cold
water while it is fresh.
When eggs are scarce and are
needed for buildings or dessert, a
spoonful of corDstarch will take the
place of one egg,
Ices and cream will freeze more
quickly if a dipper of water is
poured over the ice and salt just
before the turning process begins.
When washing handkerchiefs add
few slices of lemon to the boiling
water, and they will come forth
nice and white.
A fine piece of black sticking
plaster will mend the hole in an
umbrella. Soak it soft and place
it carefully on the inside under the
hole and allow it to dry.
Dark leather that has become
shabby will look like new again if
! it is rubbed over with either linseed
oil or the well beaten white of an

The world has no stronger champion

Cannot such a man who is in

The people of Mexico at the pres

self-government as we understand
it. The present struggle is as much

contest between petty revolutionists
and robber bands, must soon arise

the country from disorder and dark.

Who are calling for such a sac
rifce?
The owners of property in Mexi-
co, many of them mere gamblers
on a long chance. Big interests
which find in war new opportuni-
ties for public plumber. The rest
less, the speculative, the turbu-
lent.
Not one of the men who are
clamoring for the invasion of MeXi-
co would be in the ranks. Those
men never fight, except by proxy.
You would have to do the fighting
you and your sons.
Isn't this a time for really patriot
ic Americans to stand behind their
president, to trust to his undoubt-
ed wisdom and better information,
to help him restore order to Mexico
in the best and wisest way, and to
prevent this nation from being
stampeded into a mistaken and
costly war by a selfish and con-
scienceless war party seeking some
advantage? Arthur Capper in Mis-
