WEAK AND TIRED WOMAN
Tells How VinOI Made Her Strong

Tells How VinOl Made Her Strong
Americas women who are weak,
rundown and suffer from the conse-
quent effects of such a condition, will
be interested in Mrs. Odell's letter.
She says:
Il am farmers wife and was all
rundown, weak, tired, and suffered
from indigestion, and osmetimes it
seemed as though I could not keep
around and do my homework. l had
taken many medicines without benefit.
One day I saw Vinol advertised, and
made up my mind to try it. l have
taken four bottles and have gained
seven pounds in weight, am much
stronger, and feel many years young
er than before" Sarah Odell Lock
port, N. Y.
The reason Vinol builds up weak,
rundown women so quickly is be-
cause it contains delicious combi-
nation of the three most successful
tonics, peptone of iron to enrich and
revitalize the blood, the strength-cre-
ating, body building elements of
fresh Gods livers without oil, and
beef peptone.
We want to say to every weary,
rundown, overworked woman in
Americas that we will return your
money if Vinol fails to help you as it
did Mrs. Odell. Hooks Pharmacy.

BIC GIFT MADE BY
INSURANCE FOLKS
To HEALTH FUNDS

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 12.-An-
nouncement was made of a gift OF
500 900 to the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tub,
erculosis by DR.. E. R. Baldwin. presi-
dent of that body, at it's opening ses-
sion today. The gift is from the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company
and is given for the purpose Of de-
monstrating by a community expert
ment Off three years that tuberculosis
can be controlled just the same as any
other infectious disease if right meth
eds and adequate resources are avail
able. 1t is planned to select a town
or city of about 5000 inhabitants,
probably in New York or Masachus-
etts and to apply there all of the
knowledge on the treatment and pre-
vention of tuberculosis available,
with view to the ultimate eradication
of the disease. If the National Asso-
ciation can demonstrate that tuber-
culosis can be controlled N one COM
munity, it will start campaign to
apply this knowledge to every city
and town in the United States.
Dr.. Baldwin also emphasizes the
most significant development in the
anti-tuberculosis field during the past
year.
"In our educational campaign" he
said, 1--WE are applying most intens
i've methods of group education in
schools, churches, lodges, labor I'M
ions and even among physicians and
nurses.
"The last year has also witnessed
some significant administrative de-
velopments. The decided movement
in the direction of standardization of
methods of work is highly commend
able. The interest taken in the inter-
state or federal relation to the tuber-
culosis problem is most sig
nificant. Research, both into the
medical and social cause of tubercul-
osis is being emphasized anew. The
National Association must answer
many important questions before it.
can 90 much farther with it's work.
More research is needed to do this.
II is gratifying to note the ever
increasing amount of money being
spent in the anti-tuberculosis work,
mostly for treatment In 1915 over
$22,50O00 was expended. From 1905
the percentage of public funds ex-
pended in tuberculosis has increased
from 25 to 65 per cent, indicating that
communities are more and more real
izing their responsibility in the con-
troll of tuberculosis"
DR.. Charles ]. Hatfield, Executive
Secretary of the Association, report
ed new organizations in almost every
part of the country and an increase Of
more than $500 in the number of
agencies engaged in the anti-tubercu-
losis fight The death rate in the
larger cities has shown a decline dur
ing the last ten years-in some of
them more than 80 per cent, and on an
average of 20 per cent.
The Red Cross Christmas Seal sale
for 1915 reached total of 100000
seals sold, bringing in a gross revenue
to the anti-tuberculosis movement of
nearly $8OO,0OO

WHY SHOULD 1T
CHANCE ITS MIND?

The New York Journal Of Commerce
implies that some reproach is attached 10
The American Protective Tariff League pc
cause it never changes its mind about
the value Of protective policy. But why
should it change its nina? Intelligent
human beings have saever changed their
minds about tile laws at grasitation since
they were formulated by Newton, or about
the theory Of Copernicus that the earth re-
wolves about the sun, or about the demon
stration of Christopher Columbus that Inc
earth is round. These things are facts. IL
would be sign of idiocy if people should
DENY that water runs down hill, or that tlre
burns, or that flight is impossible without
wings. The value of Protective policy
in onr economic system has been established
nv evidence which carried conviction 10
anv person with capacity for reasoning.
The country has invaiably prosPered I'M
der protective policy. It has invariably
exnerienced industrial and commercial de-
preston under anything approaching Free
Taade. Why shouldn't The American
Protective Tariff League seek earnestly 10
bring about the repeal of the Underwood
law and the adoption Of a law framed IN
accordance with Republican pollcles.-

United States Senator John w.
Weeks, of Massachusetts, who is one
of the 'favorite son" candidates for
the Presidency, is strongly opposed to
the limitation of debate in the upper
house of Congress. On this subject
Senator Weeks recently said:
"CIoture in the Senate would be a
dangerous step. Thinking people who
have watched the course of legislation
consider the Senate the great place
where there shall be free and unlim-
tied debate on all public questions.
The adoption Of legislation without
suitable discussion should be opposed
to the limit"

Saturday was the day set to sell the Polk
county school bonds of $4,000 to build
more school houses for Benton and Duck
town schools. There were twenty-seyen
bids filed. They sold for So, 1886. This
shows there is large demand for Ameri
can securities now These bonds run for
perion Of thirty years. The interest and
principal will cost more than twice the
amount received. This is why they are SO
sought after for investment. They are
really mortgage on the taxable property
Of the county for their payment. It's an
way to raise money and gives long time to
pay the debt. This will bring the bonded
debt to over 100000, which will be sure
to keep up the tax rate for the next thirty
years. This was a good sale. Chairman
lawson got good price for them. They
were sold to a Knoxville firm.

The Old and the Mev

The old year Of 1916, with all of it's
joys, sorrows, prileges and opportuni-
ties are all numbered with the past and
now the "New Year" with all of it's
responsibilities, is upon US How shall
we meet them? is the question CON
fronting us. AS we look at the past we
remember with regret, perhaps, things
we did that ought not to have been
done, and many things we failed to do
that ought to have been done. Now
let us profit by our mistakes and fail
nres OF the past and turn over a new
leaf and try to make better record
during the next year.
During the Christmas HOLIDAYS manv
Of our loved ones came in to see us and
our old homes were made bright and
cheerful again; but now the children
have all gone back again, and as we sit
by the fireplace SO still and lonely, we
wonder how it will be next Christmas.
In many homes when the children come
back next Christmas many Of the old
folks will be gone across the river, but
II prepared by grace divine we shall
meet again. II
