THIS Is FIRST DAY OF
SPRING AND HERE'S A
STORY TO FIT IT

KANSAS CITY. Mo, March. 2l.-This
is the first day of Spring and here is a
story to fit it. Every year the same
robin redbreast returns to the flower
garden of Thomas G. Beaham's home
and makes his nest in the SNOWFALL
bush. Robbie is easily identified be-
cause he has only one leg. Or, if he
has another, he never let's it down,
He has an eye for beauty too, this
robin. Every spring he brings the
prettiest little girl robin of the whole
bunch for his mate; and the spot he
has chosen for his home is one of the
most beautiful and artists in all Kans-
as City. Robbie's advent is looked up
On and hoped for by children and
grownups for blocks around. He is ex-
pocted almost any day.

A PROBLEM SOLVED
Another Gordian Knot Cut
A DISCOVERY INVALUABLE TO THU
SCIENCE OF MEDICINE.
An Invention That viii Be OF Benefit
to Thousands Of People.

There is no doubt about the value Ct
Vinol, this new cod liver preparation,
concerning which so much has been
said lately. 1t is inst another one of
those great inventions that is bound
to revolutionize certain branch CT
science. This time the science is that
of saving lives. Hence the greater
good that will be derived from this
discovery.
Hooks Pharmacy, of this city, who
so fortunately succeeded in associat-
ing themselves with the prominent
Boston firm have, indeed, made their
name one that will never beforgotten
in our city. Their foresight and
shrewdness enables them to take ad-
vantage of what has proved to be a
most wonderful blessing to all who are
in need of medicine to create strength
for the weak, run down, debilitated,
feeble old people, after sickness, deli
cate, puny children and as a consti-
tutional remedy for chronic coughs,
colds and bronchitis.
Vinol is simply cod liver oil in a
new form, cod liver oil without oil,
paradoxical as the statement may
sound. In other words, as Hooks
Pharmacy explain it themselves, Vinol
is the concentrated essence containing
all the active medicinal principles
found in the liver of the live cod, with
out any of the Objectionable features
that were formerly extracted at the
same time, such as fatty matter. The
extract which is the basis of Vinol be-
comes tasteless, administered as it Is
| in a delicate table wine and to this
has been added beef peptones, iron and
manganese peptonates and glycero-
| phosphates. The efficient manner in
which it acts is really wonderful. Ply
s;cians are now able to prescribe for
patients Vinol, where it would have
been impossible short time ago to
have recommended cod liver oil on
account of the depleted condition OF
the patients digestive organs.
This has always been a drawback
that has prevented more cures being
effected where cod liver oil has been
indicated. Patients are now able to
take this medicine without the slight
est inconvenience In fact, to take de-
licious Vinol is pleasure. Its beneh-
cial effect is most gratifying.
1t is not often we believe it our duty
to expatiate so fully on subject, but
this is one that will admit of careful
investigation by all, for it is indeed
of the gravest importance that every
one should become conversant with
remedy that is so often needed in our
hleak climate adv

YANKEES AND BRAVES
To PLAY At C0ROtLE

When the New York Yankees and the
Boston Braves meet in Cordele foT
their game on the afternoon of March
2Sth it will be a gala day in Cordele.
Mayor Jones of Cordele has declared a
half holiday for the occasion and hum
dreds of visiting fans are expected
from surrounding towns and cities. A
special train will be run from Albany
to the game, returning after the event,
also from Fitzgerald. Trains are OPP
Grated over the other roads leading in
to Cordele to conveniently accommo-
date the visiting fans from surround
ing towns. Hundreds will come by
automobile from radius of thirty to
forty miles.
improvements have been made in
the way of bleachers and grand stand
to accommodate the fans at the park,
and the grounds have been placed n
perfect condition.
Among baseball experts, it is said
that both Manager George Stallings Of
the Braves and Manager wild Bill"
Donavan of the Yankees, have the
fastest aggregation for the coming
season that they have ever gotten to-
gether. Evers, Gowdy, Connolly, Mar
awhile of the Braves and Cree, Swae-
ney, Williams, Caldwell, Gilhooley and
Home Run Baker of the Yankees will
be in the lineup for the game.
Notwithstanding these professionals
stars of the game. one of the largest
drawing cards will be the fact that
Home Run Bankston formerly with
Cordele in the Georgia State League,
will appear in the Yankees line, to
which club he now belongs. Bankstoa
is a favorite in baseball circles all
over south Georgia.
The game will bring between eighty
and ninety baseball players, newspaper
men, managers of the clubs and others
who are connected with the clubs.
