HOW TO PROLONG LIFE

By adopting simple diet men like Conaro have lived to be 100 years of age, but with our complex diets of today, the vitality of the aged is taxed to it's utmost endurance. A simple diet, therefore, is conducive to a long life, and if the vitality becomes inn paired and weakness seems apparent, our local druggists, The Clark X Brainerd Co.,, Riker-Hegeman Drug gists, New Britain, Conn.,, have in Vinol a reliable, non-secret remedy which contains just the elements needed to restore strength to weak, feeble old people, and prolonS healthy, happy life.

near the city that the farmers in
stitute corn meeting at the Cham

exact figures are not known, but the
indications are for many entrants.
Each teacher was urgently asked to
lend a hand and all are offering
splendid cooperation.
One of the best features of the
tour was a luncheon, prepared in
the daintiest and best of style by
the girls of District "a, Pleasant
View, for Mr.. Kyle, Mr.. Steen and
Mr.. Hall, and awaiting them on
their arrival. The girls, with the
teacher, Mr.. Godfrey Miller, plan
ned the surprise and made all ar

heartily pleased. Another nice thing
was the way in which Mr.. Kyle left
his farm work for two days and
Mr.. Steen his desk to bring this OPP
portunity to the boys and girls.
