AS WE GROW Older

our minds are quite as active as in
former years but our strength does not
respond when we needitmost; perhaps
the kidneys are weak, the liver torpid,
rheumatic pains or stifened joints
beset us, and we cannot easily throw
off the colds that winter brings.
What we need is the rich cod liver oil
in SCOTS Emulsion to renew the blood
andcarry strength to every organ ofthe
body, ,whileits glycerine esoothes there's
piratory tract, and its hypophosphites
strengthen the excitable nerves.
SCOTS Emulsion is scientific oil
food, of unusual benefit to those past
fifty years-particularly during the
colder seasons, it imparts warmth and
creates strength. One bottle will prove
its worth. No alcohol or harmful drugs.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE successor
to Secretary of War Garrison, resigned,
would be a democrat, and his name will
be announced within a day, it was
learned at the White House today.

the president said that the persons
most prominently mentioned thus far

Alva Adams, Of Colorado.
One report said that Lane would
get the war portfolio, and Adams OF
Joseph Teal, Portland attorney, would
succeed Lane. A White House author
ity, however, indicated that Lane will
not be picked, and at the same time il
was learned that Major General Goeth

not be chosen. Moreover, Pindell is un
likely to get the place as there is some

Trying to Find Out What
Is Trouble With Its ''TuIlmy' .

Santa Monica, Cal, Feb. 11.-Moving
picture folks from Ineeville went to
Topango Canyon today to "investi-
gate" the smoking mountain there and
find out whether it is a volcano.
They carried with them enough dyna-
mite to blow the side out of the hill,
if necessary, dig down into its interior
and ascertain where all the smoke and
fire is coming from. Some hold the dis
turbanee is merely superficial, resulting
from action of sulphuric gases.
After smoking for a while yester-
day, Ineeville employees declare a heavy
explosion occurred inside the mountain,
ripping loose tons of rocks and earth.
Immediately flames shot upward, ignit.
ing the brush on the hillside.
The mystery mountain was in "erup-
ton" about year ago, but has been
very quiet and docile ever since.

Representative Sherley, though deny
ing knowledge of any consideration of
himself as a successor, is especially
equipped for the job, as he has been

Hay for some time has been recognized

MORE STRENGTH FOR
 FEEBLE tLD PEOPLE

If all the old people in New Brit ain realized what Vinol will do for them, we would not be able to get enough of it to supply the demand. We quote from a recent letter receiV- ed from Mrs. A. E. Carson of Kings ton, N. Y.
 She says:-"I am 69 years o f age, and had been ailing for a long time with indigestion. I got ru@- down, was weak, dizzy and could not sleep at night. l had consulted two doctors who said I had hardening Of the arteries and at my age could not expect to be strong again. My daugh- ter would give me no peace until tried Vinol, as it had done so much for her. I have taken five bottles and my health and strength have come back, so I am able to do all the houseWOrk for my family of four, and I am recommending Vinol to all my friends:"
 The reason Vinol is so beneficial to old people is because it contains the very clements needed to replace de- clining strength with renewed vigor, viz; the medicinal elem ents of fresh cod flyers without oil. peptonate of iron, beef peptone, and a mild tonic wine.

HUSBAND PROTECTS
 WIFE; IS ARRESTED
Judge kirkham Discharges James
 Miller, Charged With Assault

Judge John H. kirkham in police court this morning ordered the dis charge of James Miller of 55s Main street, who was charged with assault ing Peter Tomschek on North street shortly after o'clock last evening. It was showr that the complainant was drunk and Miller, in preventing hira from staggering forcibly against Mrs. Miller, gave him a shove
 Tomsch eks eye and forehead was cut and he complained to the police that Miller had knocked him down on the street Officer Cosgrove made the arrest on complaint. The complainant told the court today that he was pass ing the Prentice conpany's annex on North street when his path was blocked by a crowd of women In try ing to pass he was assaulted, he claimed Henry Budman, a boy, testi- fled that what the complainant had said was true and he told of seeing Miller shove him aside and cause h i'm to fall down. The boy, however, put a crimp in the states case when he told Lawyer M. D. Sake, representing the accused, that Tomschek was very drunk and was staggering against the women.
 Miller's wife, Mrs. Helen Keeney Miller, testified in his behalf and said that as Tomshek staggered through the crowd of woman one woman gave him a shove into a, snow drift. As he recovered his feet he began to swear and lurched towards her. To prevent him from pumping her, Miller gave him a shove. Miller gave similar tes- timony. Judge Kirkham said he thought Mi1ler's action, while it may have been more strenuous than was necessary, was nevertheless justifiable as it was evident that the complainant
