The Complete Formula of This Great

There is no secret about the reason
why Vinol surpasses all other tonics
and cod liver oil preparations to Gre
ate strength for weak, rundown, over
worked. debilitated men and women,
after sickness. for feeble old people
and delicate children. It is because 1t
is a scientific combination Of the
greatest tonics known to medicine.
viz, beef and COD liver peptones, iron
and manganese peptonates and gly-
cerophosphates, etc
That is why Vinol quickens the ap-
petite, aids digestion, supplies iron to
the blood and brings back the strength
of renewed health.
The letters from people who have
benefited by Vinel. which we are con-
tinually publishing in the columns OF

FALLS DYING IN DUEL

Case Puzzles Pittsburgh Doctors, for
Only Blank Cartridges Were Fired.

Pittsburgh, Oct. AS a result of a
bloodless duel between Walter Jonke,
twenty-five, and John Honick, twenty
three, late last night, the death of
Honick is expected by physicians, who
are now puzzled by the strangest case
known in medical annals.
Jonke and Honick had been at odds
for several months. Finally, they de-
cided to settle the feud with pistols
at thirty PAGES. Friends of the men,
however, prevailed upon the seconds
to substitute blank cartridges for ball
in the weapons to be used.
Late last night the two principals
with their seconds entered an alley
in the rear of South Twenty-ninth

LAMAR, PROMOTER, NOW SEWING
MACHINE IN ATLANTA PENlTENTARY, WHERE

Atlanta, Ca, Oct 9.-David Lamar,
whose imagination travelled in millions
when he was called "the wolf of Wall
Street." is making clothes for his
board now. His job in the federal
penitentiary, whittier he was sent from
New York for impersonating Congress-
man A. Mitchell Palmer in an attempt
to defraud the United States Steel
Corporation and j. p Morgan & Com

oring shop. He runs sewing ma
chine, helps in the cutting room, and
when other tasks give out he keeps
the departments books.
He has found a protege in another
"wolf," Ignazio Lupo, who is serving
the seventh of the 20 years to which
he was sentenced for counterfeiting
and who was also suspected of be-
! ing a Black Hand chief in New York.
| Possibly because of the similarity in
names Lamar has from the first shown
considerable interest in Lupo, which
the sicilian repays with sentimental
devotion.
Lamar entered the penitentiary
nonchalantly ON May ~ and has main
tanned that attitude. One of the Off
cials says: "He has never given tht
lleast trouble. If all the prisoners were
as peaceful as he this would be hap

figure it ont himself. Possibly the u.
s. thinks that farmer needs nothing
better than farm wagon to ride into
this country with.
The other matter was, that while this
man was an American born citizen. yet
while in Canada he had become q
British subject by taking out citizen
papers there. This procedure saved
him about forty dollars duties on hie
stuff, because if he had remained an
American citizen and then had returned
he would have had to pay the duties
That is. Canadian or any other out.
lander can come into this country with
his household and farm goods without
paying duty. But an American coming
in the same way from q foreign country
must pay. Looks funny on its face

HOG CHOLERA.

II any hogs are found to be ''of feed"
or appear in any way sick, separate them
Immediately from the other hogs.
Watch them and the main herd care
fully. II the disease spreads. the trouble
is probably hog cholera. A change of
feed and especially with swill fed hogs,
may sometimes bring relief in case it is
merely a digestive trouble. When hog
cholera is suspected, treat the hogs with
protective serum at once. Better kill
any real sick hogs and burn them at
once. !.
Keep posted in regard to the health of
the hogs on the neighboring farms.
Sick hogs ON farms nearby are danger,
as the germs of hog cholera are carried
on the feet of men and many animals as
sparrows, pigeons. chickens and dogs.

All night We toiled Saving ship" but
% morning broke the wind subsided to

close to the harbor Of st. Thomas which
was to be the rendezvous of the feet il

Steaming in through a narrow gate.
way We saw before Us lsrge expanse Of
calm water, surrounded by hills which
farther inland became mountains. At
the foot and o. the sides of three hills
on one side we're white houses covered
with red tiles Of the litue city.
The blue waters ot the grand bay a.
most completely land.leoked, the besusi,
full green.sided hills fall Of tropic verdure
the white walls snd red roofs made .
most wonderful and beautiful coloring,
and after the tenpestooas night. Amid
the waves and darkness, the peaceful
contrast OF that Standardization Of rest,
made us think that We had never before
seen % much that meant beauty and
peace as the panorama that spread before
our eyes.
Several times since the project Of buy
ing that harbor and tho leland itself has
been before the two countries. Just
now the question is up again and it is
quite probable that this time it will 60
