HOW TO GET STRONG
A Simple Remedy.

Whatever the cause, we want to say
to every. person who needs strength,
you need vinol. as II Is the most eff
ficient strength creator we have in our
store. Here Is proof from Dorchester,
Mass:
Il don't know what We would do
without Vinol In our family. was
weak, nervous and rundown as the
result of an operation, and vinol re-
stored my strength. Then grandmoth-
er had a nervous breakdown. and Vinol
built her up and restored her health
and strength after everything else had
failed. We have used Vinof for 10
years In our family, and would not be
without 1t in the house." Myrtle l..
Healy. Dorchester, Mass.
We believe In vinol because we know
1t Is great strength creator.-due to
the beef and cod liver .peptones, iron
and manganese peptonates and giycero-
phosphates, all dissolved in pure me-
dicinal wine, SO we always return the

fit those who buy ii.

from the National Emergency Food
Garden Commission. which Is aiding
this newspaper to increase garden
produce.
But where climbing cucumber vines
are set fifteen Inches apart. the squash
vines should not be placed closer to-
gether than one every three feet When
squashes of the heavy varieties are
thus trained to climb up fences, walls.
or even poles the fruits should be sup
ported with trusses of tape or cloth.
There are two types of squashes-
summer and winter. Summer squashes
are small and are eaten reen when
the seeds are soft. The large winter
squashes grow to full maturity and
may be stored. Summer squashes are
bushy and need less space than the
winter variety. When the vines are
allowed to run along the ground they
may be planted In the hills four feet
apart, whereas the hills of winter vines
should be planted eight to ten feet
apart.
Three or four squash vines will sup
ply a family. When vines are al
lowed to run 1t Is well to throw a
spadeful Of earth over each vine every
three or four feet at leaf joint.
Where 1t is thus covered 1t will put out
roots. offsetting any injury to the
vine under the main root. Seeds should
be planted after all danger OF frost,
covering them with an inch or two Of
earth.

SILVER AND LEAD SUPPLIES

IBy Associated Press.l


NEW YORK, June l3.-War demands.
which long ago virtually swept the
market bare Of spot copper. are rapidly
diminishing the market supplies Of sill
vcr and lead. Bar silver to-day rose to
- cents an ounce. an advance of is
cents over the price of the early part
Of the month. and within . cents of the
extreme price of last February. Quo
tations for lead varied. some producers
asking IL 1-2 cents pound. the high
est price for thirty years, although II
cents was quoted by the more extern
sive dealers.
The entrance OF this country into the
war has given additional impetus TO
the inquiry for all the baser metals.
IL is said in trade circles. but lead has
been among the last to feel the effect
Of this stimulus.
Demand for silver has become more
acute because various foreign countries
which previously contributed their
quota of the metal TO the European
markets are no longer operating their
mines. Increased supplies of silver
have recently come out of the Mexican
mines. but the demand for the metal
for war purposes is still in excess OF
supply.
