"once Again" by Sullivan and Adams
"Roses:'' The inspiration of patriot
ism will be found in the popular song,
"Well Build Little Home in the U.

hits is the famous telephone song,
"My Lady of the Telephone" sung by
Sam Ash, when It's Orange Bios
som Time in Loveland," sung by Man
uel Roman; counter tenor, and a coup
ling Of delightful Irish songs, Along
the Rocky Road to Dublin" and Hes
the Son Of an Irishmnn," sung with a
delightful comedy broglie by Marguor-
let Farrell. In the vocal quartet field
the Columbia Stellar Quartet has be-
come famous from coast to coast. "At
Parting" and "Sing Mo To Sleep" ale
songs Of unusual beauty aud unusual
" beautifully sung by this quartet.
"a Little Bit of Heaven" considered
by many to be, Earnest n. Rails best
musical effort, is coupled with Where

MORE STRENGTH FOR

If all the old people in Fairmont
realized what Vinol will do for them,
we would not be able to get enough
Of 1t to supply the demand. We quote
from recent letter received from
Mrs. A. E. Carson, OF Kingston, N. Y.
She says: II am SO years Of age,
and had been ailing for long time
with Indigestion. got rundown, was
weak, dizzy and could not sleep at
night. consulted two doctors who
said had hardening OF the arteries
and at my age could not expect to be
strong again. My daughter would
give me no peace until 1 tried Vinol,
as it had done so much for her.
have taken five bottles and my health
and strength have come back, 80 l
am able to do all the housework for
my family Of four, and I am recon-
mending Vinol to all my friends"
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 liyers without oil, peptonate of
iron, beef peptone, and mild tonic
wines Cranes Drug Store.
VInol is sold In Warrington by the

Sweden Asks Aid
Against England

WASHINGTON, D. c. Feb. IS
Sweden has addressed another note
to the United States Government re:
guessing that conference of neutrals
be called, or that steps be taken look
ing toward the cooperation OF neu'
trails in causing to be observed the
important rules of international law
now being violated by Great Britain.
Seizure af parcel post, censorship OF
mail and general restraint on neutral
commerce by Great Britain are sub.
tests Of deep concern on the part Oh
the Swedish Government, the note
says. Secretary Lansing informally
advised the Swedish Government that
the possibility of complications with
Germany on account of the Lusitania
crisis precented the United States
from giving a definite answer on the
question.

HE T7E5I HINTS
WINTER HEALTH.

TOO much food, particularly meats
for dinner and supper!
Not enough exercise, too much hot
air and not enough fresh air!
Too much of the wrong kind of
clothing and not enough bathing.
Those are the chief factors in the
increase In iii health during the cold
season Excess food in particular ov-
erworks the digestive organs and they
soon become exhausted trying to as
simulate It
No matter how cold the weather,
walking is one Of the best exercises
known. 1t combines exercise. fresh
air aud change of scenery. A daily
walk Of from three to FIVE miles is
needed by persons who must sit at a
desk all day.
Clothing, both underwear and out
erwear should match the weather and
not the style.
! Keeping the feet dry on wet. slushy
days by means of rubbers or a change
OF shoes and stockings is the best way
to prevent sickness as the tailend
days Of winter approach.
