What Is Success !?

The following answer as to
the question, What is success?"
received a prize of $3.50:
He has achieved success who
has lived well laughed often and
loved much; who gained the re-
spect of intelligent men and the
love Of little children; who has
filled his niche and accomplished
his task; who has left the world
better than he found it, whether
by improved poppy, a perfect
poem or rescued soul; who has
never lacked appreciation of the
earth's beauty or failed to ex-
press it; who has always look d
for the best in others and given
the best he had; whose life was
an inspiration; whose memory
was a benediCtion."

FOR STOMACH TROUBLE
John w. Skillen Of Sidney, Ohio
Has Found a Remedy.

Experts declare that the reason
stomach disorders are so common II
this country is due to hasty and care
less habits Of eating. Stomach
troubles and rundown conditions
usually go together.
John w. Skillon OF Sidney, Ohio
says: II had q bad stomach trouble
for years, and became SO weak that
I could hardly walk or do any work
My appetite was poor, and it seemed
impossible to get any relief. Since
taking 'Vinop / find remarkable i'm
proyement in my health, my digestion
is much stronger, and have gained
in weight. 1 would not be without
Vinol."
Vinol makes weak stomachs strong
because 1t strengthens and tones up
the weakened, tired and overtaxed
nerves Of the digestive organs. Vinol
Is easily assimilated by the weakest
stomachs, and Is delicious to the taste.
Try bottle Of Vinol with the un.
derstanding that your money will be
returned if 1t does not help you.

and done. w. w. LONG,

Catarrh of the throat is not only an

sorts. This cannot be avoided. II
the throat is healthy the system Is
protected from these poisonous
germs. But If the throat is raw and
punctured with numerous little ul-
GERS, by catarrh, then the disease
