Guinea Plas as Food.

The cavy guinea Pig is typically
pet animal and has no other excuse
for existence than the pleasure he gives
those who appreciate his good quail
ties. But II is to the undenlable edi-
bility OF the cayy that we owe the ex-
istence OF the cheerful little squeaker
OF today.
The Incas OF Peru long ago domes-
ticated the Wild ancestor OF the mod
ern animals-a small, tailless, uni
colored member OF the genus Cavix,
the exact identity OF which IL matter
OF some doubt. These creatures were
allowed TO run freely about the home
OF their owners, whose object in breed
ing them undoubtedly was for their
food value.
The time which must undoubtedly
have elapsed since this domestication
was first begun Is evident from the en-
tirely changed color OF the present
day cavy.-"P Pets" by Lee s. CrandalL

the visit TO the Ka'aba-the square

stone go back to days OF idolatry. the
"time OF ignorance" before the new
faith bloomed.
The black stone, which measures
about six inches by eight, is believed to
have fallen from paradise, to have
been guarded during the deluge and
handed TO Abraham by Gabriel when
the Ka'aba was built Certain parts OF

The sundiai.

The sundial Is an instrument OF great
antiquity. for 1t is referred TO In the
Bible Isaiah xxxviii, 81, and 1t has
been estimated that the date OF this
sundial would be about 700 years be-
fore the beginning OF the Christian era.
The FIRST sundial Of which history dis
tinctly tells us Is that OF the Chaidean
astronomer Berossus who probably
lived about 800 b. O.
Then and for many years afterward
the art OF constructing sundials TO suit
any place and situation was an impor-
tant branch OF mathematical study.
The sundlal as invented by this Be

ries, four OF these having been found In
Italy in modern times. One which was
discovered at Tivoli In 1740 IL believed

words were over and Frances and
Viva had removed their outer
things, Helen had a chance to OBJ
serve the stranger without being
observed. The girl was queer
looking little thing, She was SO
fragile in comparison with Frances,
who, as usual, looked wonderful.
She had heart-shaped little face
which was entirely colorless and
she wore her black hair close to
her head save where it waved
loosely over her ears.
The tips of her ears were family
pink and she wore heavy jet ear
rings with long drops that en-
HANGED her pallor. Helen thought
her extraordinary looking, but not
at all pretty. Somehow she looked
at all girlish. and yet Frances had
said that she was only seventeen.
Helen had not seen Frances in so
long that for the first few minutes
she had eyes and ears for no one
else. There were hundreds of ques
tions to be asked and answered, but
finally she did turn to the girl, who
had been watching her closely while
she talked
"Of course this isn't interesting for
YOU" Helen said deprecatingly, but

many men at school that it is a
relief to be free from them.
She spoke with slight draw
and with a plaintive note that in
stantly attracted attention. Helen
saw that Warren looked over and
even Carp was watching Viva under
long to perceive that Viva adored Carp
and was furiously jealous of Frances.
1t was absurd of course, and yet there
was something fierce and elemental
about this strange girl. If she were a
product of the modern boarding
care to have Winifred go to one.

"Oh, l don't like her." Helen said
instantly, she makes me nervous

and cold and nothing seemed to give
me any relief, and l was gradually
getting worse, until friend advised
me to try Vinol. which l did After
the first day or two it seemed to put
new life into me, the tired, worn-out
feeling began to disappear, regained
my appetite and was able to get a good
nights rest. The cough gradually
wore away, and I am now feeling like
myself again, so that l can do all my
housework and go about my duties as
usual. Vinol is certainly a wonderful
medicine" Mrs. w. L. Waters, De-
troit. Mich.
Vinol restores health and strength
in conditions like this because in a
natural manner it increases the appe-
tite, tones up the digestive organs, en-
riches the blood and strengthens every
organ in the body.
We guarantee that Vinol will do the
same for any rundown person in Har-
risburg, or give back their money.
