SUGGESTION TO WOMEN
Who Are "Just Ready to Drop

When you are "just ready to drop
when you feel SO weak that you can
hardly drag yourself about and be-
cause you have not slept well, you
get up as tired-out next morning as
when you went to bed, you need help.
You can get it just as Mrs. Maxwell
did. She says
Il keep house for my little family

try Vinol. | did so, and improved
rapidly. 1t toned up my system, l re-
gained my strength, am no longer
nervous, sleep WELL and do all my
homework" Mrs. ]. G. Maxwell,
Montgomery, Ala.
There is no secret about Vinol. It
owes its success to the medicinal eX-
tractives of fresh cod livers, tonic
iron and becp peptone, the Oldest and
most famous bodybuilding and
rength-creating tonics.
So many letters like the above are
continually coming to our attention,
that we freely offer to return the
honey paid for Vinol in every case
where it fails to give satisfaction.

into A DOG KEN
NELL---YES

NEW YORK, Nov. Miss Janet
Fish, daughter of Hamilton Fish, a
niece of the late Mrs. Stuyyesant Fish
and one of the most prominent young
society women in New York, must de-
fend herself against accusations that
she knows nothing about modern
housewifery and that she converted
the mansion of Daniel H. Morgan. mill
lionaire real estate owLer. at 1872
East Seyenty-first street, into kennel
for her blue-blooded dogs.
In the supreme court today, Morgan
sued the young woman for $3,037 dam
abes which she and her dogs did to the
furniture, rugs and contents of the
Morga1 home.
Morgan says that in November last
year the young society woman ar
ranged to lease his home for five
months He explained to her that as
the house had always been occupied by
human beings, he did not want is to be-
come lair for beasts. He took this
precaution. he says. because it was
generally known that Miss Fish was a
fancier of highly bred dogs He eX-
plicitly warned Miss Fish, he asserts.
that he considered dogs to be beasts.
no matter how much fondling society
women were wont to give their pets.
The lease was signed 1t contained
an azti-dog clause, but this did not
bother Miss Fish, for on December 1,
1914, she moved her servants into the
mansion and took possession She re
manned there until May l this year,
when she moved to her country place.
l. was then that the millionaire made
a tour of inspection.
He says he found the furniture and
walls of the house schatched and soil
ed where the puppies had stretched
themselves. The dogs showed eX-
tremely good tast, he alleges, for they
selected, among other things antique
dressers and chiffoniers into which |
they sunk their claws. valuable rugs
also suffered, he declares.
AS to Miss Fish's housewifery, Nor
gan alleges that when one of his most
antique bureaus was damaged she had |
it shellaced and-to use the words OF
his complaint-"no good housewife !
should do that"
A visit to the kitchen, Morgan al
leges showed him that it had suffered
curing the five months. He fourd cop
Per pans and pots blistered, scorched
and burnt and rendered useless. The
cnly rooms in the house in good con-
6ition. he alleges, were the servants
quarters.

TO ANNUl LIGHT FRANCHISE
City Council Decides that Company Must
Give Satisfactory Service at Prices
Current al Other Points or Get Out

That the City Council is deter
mined TO secure Electric Light rates
in accordance with charges current
elsewhere was evident bv it's action
at Monday nights meeting when by
unanimous vote it ordered the city
attorney to bring suit to annul the
franchise of the Electric Light COM
pany, This action is based upon
the resolution adopted by the
council September 10th, in which
the franchise was declared void for
various alleged failures to comply
with the provisions of the franchise,
one OF which was to provide street
lights as ordered by the council 1t
was also provided that the franchise
should remain null and void until
such time as the company'S services
were satisfactory and the Samerates
established here as at other points,
unless it be shown by their records
that these rates are not sufficient to
give them a reasonable return on
their actual investment above their
actual operating expenses.
Instead of moving in any way to
remedy the injustice charged Geo.
D. Locke, of Rogers, president Of
the company, who was in the city,
did not attend the Council Meeting,
but sent in a resolution for the body
to adopt which provided for the
withdrawal of all former action and
the endorsement of the present high
rates until the company Should have
$50 patrons. As this is about
double its present patronage, and
customers are dropping off regularly
on account of the high rate, it is
likely that many years would elapse
before relief might be expected under
such policy.
The company does not deny that
its rates are much higher than at
other points, but claims that this is
made necessary by the higher ex-
penses of operation. The councils
information is that while freight
rates on coal are slightly higher,
other expenses are much lower, and
there is no good excuse for the differ
ence against Harrison

Burn Leaves During Day

Now that the leaves are coming
down rapidly and everyone is anx.
ious to get rid of them as rapidly as
possible, it is good time to repeat
the advice given by all medical
authorities not to burn the leaves
at night. There is said to be moth.
ing better calculated to prepare the
ground for attacks of diptheria than
the smudge created by damp leaves.
If the leaves are burned after night
the smoke settles to the ground and
irritates the throats of everyone in
in the neighborhood The better
way is to let the leaves lie until they
are dried out; then burn them in
dav.time By following this plan
YOU may save the life of your own
child or that Of your neighbor.

S2OO.O0O FOR COUNTY ROADS
A Bond Issue Which Would Not Increase
Our Taxation.

Esquire X. F. Cantrell, of Belle
fonte, who has studied deeply the
road question, says that Boone
county might make more rapid and
satisfactory progress under special
act Of the next legislature than
under the Alexander law.
His idea is that the whole county
be organized for the Improvement,
first of the main highways, and tnen
for the extension of similar benefits
20 the entire system. This would
have the advantage OF large fund
TO be used where it's benefits would
be enjoyed by greater portion of
the people promptly, and ultimately
reach to the outermost highways
Mr.. Cantrell finds that the road
tax collected this year in Boone
county was S11,021.02, a gain of
1881 40 over last years collection.
Computing the gain at halt as much
for each year he figures the total
yield from our road tax in thirty
years would be $345,35L60, or
enough to pay off a 100000 bond
issue in that time with per cent
interest and leave balance of near
ten thousand dollars.
With a fund Of 100000 to spend
on the roads of Boone county Mr..
Cantrell thinks a remarkable trans.
formation might be made within a
year, aud that without increasing
our taxation in any way whatever
Certainly the plan is worth the
attention of our perple

Failing to give Harrison free mail
delivery, it is said because of the lack

the Postoffce department has ex-
tended the experimental village de-
liverv until it covers practically the
whole town, or more than three
times the territory reached hereto
fore.
The new service began Monday,
and involves two deliveries a day,
one leaving the office at s o'clock in
the morning and the other at 2:45
in the afternoon. In general wav
the route Of the carrier goes east
