little Kir Hiai Mother Tells How Her Little Son Was Macle a Strong, Healthy Boy by Vino! After a Severe Sickness. New York City.—“About five years ago my little boy, then seven years old, was very ill with gastritis, then he contracted measles from the other children, pneumonia soon followed, and there seemed no hope of saving his life. However, we fought off the disease and he recovered, but was in a very weak and delicate condition.- “ The doctor prescribed cod liver oil, but his little stomach swelled up like £ drum, and the doctor said there was no cure for him. I decided to try Vinol, as I had used it myself with splendid results, and it seemed to agree with him. That bloated condition soon disappeared, end now he is a strong, healthy boy, thanks to Vinol.”—Mrs. Thomas Fitz GERALD, 1090 Park Ave., New York City. In nil cases where the healing, curative, tissue building influence of cod liver oil, or the strength-creating, blood making properties of tonic iron are needed, Vinol given immediate benefit, for it is easily assimilated and acceptable to the weakest; stomach, because it contains no oil or grease, and tastes delicious.

GETTING UNDER COVER HOW SOLDIERS ON FIRING LINE “DIG THEMSELVES IN.” When the Leaet Expo»ure Meant Death Men Burrow Into the Earth In Record Time —Use All Sorts of Tools. In the reports of the war in Europe it is frequently stated that the advance lines of the armies threw up intrenchuieuts, and it is dilllcult for the ordinary reader to understand how this is done, for to him anything like a fortification appears to be a matter of considerable time and labor, which could not be accomplished with the enemy raining shot and shell. hat these protections are and how they are formed is clearly explained in the special war issue of the Scientific American. The advancing line may have suffered great losses, or the ammunition may be running low. At all events, it finds itself unable to gain ground to the front. To retreat would be fatal. It must remain where it it —some of the men find natural cover, but many must provide artificial protection from the enemy's rifle fire. The men are lying down as flatly as they can. To rise, even to a kneeling position, means death or a disabling wound. The necessity for cover under these circumstances caused men to devise (he lying-down trench, sometimes called the skirmishers’ trench. It gives cover from rifle tire to a man lying down, but is absolutely no protection from shrapnel bullets. The height of the parapet should not exceed one foot. The trench itself is about two and a half feet wide and about six feet long. It can be constructed by one man in soft ground, using the portable intrenching tools, in about thirty minutes. Under tire, as outlined in the foregoing, the man being compelled to remain in the prone position, he can mask himself from view in from ten to fifteen minutes and complete the trench in 40 to 45 minutes. In this position, and in view of the small num bar of portable intrenching tools car rled by the company, the man would be obliged to use his knife bayonet tc7 loosen the earth and the cover of b'meat can to shovel it in front of hin ' One of the methods of working suegested by the text books is to dig h® trench 18 inches wide as far back ssjall the knees; roll into it and dig li'jtC

inches w ide alongside of it and do: to the feet; then roll into the Becan cut and extend the first one backn the foet. This trench was seldom tistt’ in the Manchurian war. The bestifa; can be said for it is that men cai», tain slight cover under a hot fireridi a minimum of casualties because tvolves lees digging, and thev arejwtially protected from the very fapning of the work. Locating the Trouble. The floorwalker said to the Mger of the shoe department: “I had the doggondest timcritlimy furnace this morning.” "What was wrong with It?” "I cduldn’t get a bit of belt in the

dining room, and I couldn’t utastand ( it.” “What did you do?” "I went down into the fflhr and took off a part of the pipe; tat that was all right.” “Huh!” "And then I examined tis check damper and that was all right.” “Well!” “Then I locked at the daft and that was all right.” “Well, well!” “Finally, after work:? about an hour I found out wLi the trouble was.” ' “What was it?” “The dining room register was turned off.”—l ouisviMmes.

WATCH AND WAIT Is the Plan of Campaign Used By Wcts and Drys of the City of Elkhart BIC- BATTLE IS ON t And Results Will It Is Say Also Control Results In the City of Goshen

Elkhart, Ind, April 23,-The two organizations for the Elkhart option election April 26 have been working Qut etly it is the third election of the character that the city has gone through. After the county unit law was enacted tire county went dry. but subsequently under the city and township unit law was voted wet. Both sides seem to be agreed that the people in general resent the calling of the election, and this perhaps accounts for the absence of red tire or the accustomed vigor of most such campaigns. The drys urge that the question be settled right, the wets that It be let alone. However, as the time draws near, both sides are more active. The Elkhart election is looked upon as of more than usual importance bei cause of the fact that the Goshen elec- > tion is tollow so close upon its t heels. Goshen will express its wet I or dry working together, and the drys s are admitteedly stronger in Goshen I than Elkhart. In Elkhart the last option election returned a wet majority of 300; in Goshen the wet majority was 36. Robert L. Jenne, a publicity man >- of Indianapolis, who helped the drys i- to win in Muncie and Martinsville, is r helping the drys here, while the wets II have divided this work among several s men. t 0 y FARM GATES FOR SALE. 1.
