YOUTH IN OLD AGE
How to Live to be One Hundred
Years Old

With proper attention to diet, pre-
vention Of colds, exercise, plenty Of
sleep, proper care Of the skin and the
use of a strengthening tonic like Vinol
years may be added to ones life.
A Civil War Veteran. Mr.. w. H.
Bowers, Of Steubenville, Ohio, says: II
am u years of age. I suffered from
general weakness, nervous breakdown
and dizziness. An old doctor recon-
mended Vfnol. It built me up so that
was able to go to work as strong and
we'll as ever"
The reason Vinol is so beneficial to
old people Is because it contains the
very elements needed to replace de-
clining strength with renewed vigor,
viz.-the medicinal elements Of fresh
cod livers, without oil, peptonate of
iron, beef peptone and a mild tonic
wine.
If Vinol fails to build up the feeble
weakened system Of old people, we will
return the amount Of money paid us
for 1t.

fright, for the whole side of the cab
seemed to go with her employer.
There was brief scufIe, a whlrl of

In a strangely muffled howl, followed
by nasal curses. With below Of an

and Lorelei saw that Bob was holding

and humiliating disadvantage.
Bob was painting, but he managed to

for some grlnning chauffeurs, who of

"Be a good fellow. insist, my dear

"Drive on, quickly" Lorelei i'm
plored, but the chauffeur cranked his
motor reluctantly. A moment passed,
then another; he cranked once more.
Bergman was sobbing now like a

Bergman, with n desperate wrench,

"It-actually stretched" said Bob,

II dare say I'll never find another nose

Lorelei's cab got under way at last,
but barely I'm time, for n crowd was as

then she burst into trembling, chok-

time he seemed not entirely bad.

1t Is a peculiar liberty to sit soberly

watched LiIas and Bob respond to the

with the bristing pompadour uttered
a bark of amusement. Meeting Bobs
questioning glance, Lorelel seconded
she invitation with nod and a quick
look of appeal, whereupon his de-
meanor changed and he drew a chair
between her and Nobel Bergman, fore
ing the latter to move. His action was
pointed. almost rude, but the girl felt
a surge OF gratitude sweep over her,
There was an interlude Of idle chat
ter then the orchestra burst Into full
Clamor once more. Much to the cha
grin of her escort, Lorelei rose and
danced away with the newcomer.
"Why the distress slgnal?' queried

mock indignation. "He must be low

He was serious In an instant. "You
were nice to me the other night I'm
sorry TO see you with this fellow"
"He forced-he deceived me into
coming, and he's taking advantage of
conditions to--be nasty"
Bob missed step, then apologized.
His next words were facetIous, but his
tone was ugly: where do you want

and her troubled twilight eyes be

When Lorelei had explained, he nod
ded his complete understanding. "Shes
just the sort 20 do a thing like that"
Wharton ignored Bergman's scowls;
he proceeded to monopolize the mana

secretly delighted her; he displayed the
assurance OF one reared TO selfish eN-
actions, and his rival writhed under II.
