Springfield, ILL.,, Jan. 31.-Heavy
rains that continued all day Saturday
and Sunday flooded the lowlands of
Sangamon county according to re-

A great amount of clothing and sup

There is no second. The world

low who doesn't come in a winnef
And there is no man in America VIC
can truthfully say that he can't cons
in a winner"
The speaker likened the race Of hle
to the race run by horse on the trafs
and in doing SO he carried his auat
ence around the course and down tM
quarter stretch" to what can be ulli-
mate victory in the modern day cnmpe-
titiOn. The man who can plunge rieht
ahead, in spite of all difficulties, ana
strain every effort in coming down ias
quarter stretch, is the one who is ~
ing to come out ahead, he said.

Abandon Services to Work.
| Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 31.-Churches

service and virtually every man Joined

against the threatening foods. The
White river is predicted to go to 33
feet by Tuesday night, one foot higher
than the leyees were built to with
stand.
Numerous houses in the south and
west ends Of Batesville, on the White
river, are flooded and many families
are moving.
The Arkansas river is rising stead

along the bank of the river have be-

The Arkansas is 10 feet above flood
stage at Fort Smith and is still rising.
Numerous streets in Pine Bluff are
under water and the situation there is
regarded as critical. The government
revetments are holding but collapse of
wing dikes against the levee extremi-
ties is feared.

Indiana in Flood Grip.
Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 31.-Indiana
today as a result of the heavy rains
since last Thursday. Hundreds of
families have been driven from their
homes.
The property loss is estimated in the
thousands of dollars and in practically
all cases the water is still rising. 1t
is feared that the flood conditions will
equal those of 1913. Service ON two
car lines was suspended here today
because of high waters, and hundreds
of men were patrolling the levees along
White river in the western part of the
city to prevent the food sweeping that
section as it did in 1918.
The Wabash is threatening at Vim
cennes, Terre Haute, Lafayette and
Logansport. At Vincennes it had al
most reached the high water mark and
it was reported that bridge had been
carried out at Logansport.
A number of small towns through
out the state have been practically iso-
lated by the high waters, which are
delaying traffic on both the steam and
electric roads.

BRONCHITIS SUFFERER
Cured by a Simple Remedy.

Columbus, Ga. "I am telling every body what Vinol has done for my husband. He had a bronchial cough, his system was rundown and felt sure he would die. His father insisted on his trying Vinol, and l am so thankful he did, because it cured his cough and built him up. My doctor highly recommends it and said he could not take anything bet ter" Mrs. Thomas Monk.
 Vinol, you know, contains the real cod liver curative extract, together with peptonate of iron, and beef peptone, it enriches and revitalizes the blood and conveys to the system the vital elements necessary to strength en the body and throw off the disease. That is the reason it was so success full in Mir. Monks case.
 Anyone in New Britain who has bronchitis, a chronic cough, or needs building up, may try a bottle of Vinol, with the understanding that his money will be returned if he is not satisfied. The Clark & Brainerd, Ri- ker-Hegeman Co.,, Druggists, New Britain, Conn.
