 Chastise Son if Naughty.

tCorrespondence Of the Associated Press)
 Berlin, Feb. 2S.-All prizes fo:' brevity, and a few more besides for modesty, go to a Baden peasant who for some time, has been with the forces in Flanders. His wife has just made public the following laconic letters from him. The first reads:
 Dear Wife: I am still alive and have received your bundle. If the boy is bad, spank him. Greetings, Adolph."
 Shortly after came a second:
 Dear Bertha: I am still alive, which surprises me very much. If the Toy still is naughty. spank him again. Greetings, Ado1ph."
 The third communication was Tn the form of a photograph of Adolph's troop showing him decorated with tie iron cross. No mention however, was made of the medal, and the pie ture merely bore on the reverse side this brief note:
 Dear Bertha: I was wounded but am well again, and tomorrow I go at it again. If the boy is naughty EoX his ears. Greetings, Adolph."
 Perplexed, the wife wrote her hus- hand demanding to know now he had received the iron cross. and received the following Illuminating reply:
 Ut was very simple about the iron cross. The major ordered me to stand stiii, and the sergeant-major pinned it on. Greetings, Adolph.'

 ''She came unexpectedly. No one, so far as I know, dreamed of her com ing. She was dressed with what can only describe as religious sim plicity-a severely plain costume and a tourist cap. Her companions were . Belgian officer and her physician. Sc far as I could hear no word was spoken.
 "Her Majesty fascinated me. She was as one who is weighed down with ;,rief; her eyes were the eyes of one who has cried long, and could cry no more. She stood looking at the burnt and battered walls of the sacred building, awe-inspired, broken, crushed. She acknowledged our salute with Q melancholy smile"

WOMAN'S EVIDENCE
 UPHOLDS CLAIMS
Says: 'T Wish All Nervous, Weak, Rundown Women Could Have vinoi, It Did So MIJch for Me-,

Beallsville, Ohio. "Vinol has done so much for me wish all nervous, weak, rundown women could have it. I was so rundown, weak, and nervous could not sleep nights. Everything l ate hurt me, and the medicine l had taken did me no good. saw Vinol advertised and decided to try it: l had not taken it long, before I could eat anything 1 wanted without hurting me, and l could sleep all night. Now 1 am well and strong, and in better health than l have been for years. I never spent money for medicine that did me so much good as that spent for Vinol. Mrs. ANNA MILLIsoN, Beallsville, Ohio.
 If the careworn, tired, overworked women, the pale, sickly children and feeble old folks around here would fol- low Mrs. Millison's example, they, too, would soon be able to say that Vinol, our delicous cod liver and iron remedy, had built them up and made them strong.
 1t is the combined action of the medic inal curative elements of the cod's liver, without oil, aided by the blood-making and strength-creating properties of tonic iron, that makes Vinol so success full in such cases.
