AFTER SICKNESS THEY GAVE HER VINOL And She Soon Got Back Her Strength New Castle, Ind.—" The measles left me run down, no appetite, could not rest at night, and I took a severe cold which settled on my lungs, so I was unable to keep about my housework. My doctor advised me to take Vinol, and six bottles restored my health so I do all my housework, including washing. Vinol is the best medicine I ever used.”—Alice Record, 437 So. nth St., New Castle. Ind. We guarantee this wonderful cod liver and iron tonic, Vinol, for all weak, run-down, nervous conditions, Smith, Yager ft Falk, druggists, Decatur, and at the best drug store in every town and city in the country. “ iiiLir FMJMON Get Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets That is the Joyful cry of thousands since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel. Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for 17 years and calomel's old-time enemy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating patients for chronic constipation and torpid livers. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets do not contain calomel, but a healing, soothing vegetable laxative. No griping is the “keynote” of these little sugar-coated, olive-colored tablets. They cause the bowels and liver to act normally. .They never force them to unnatural action. If you have a "dark brown mouth” now and then —a bad breath —a dull, tired feeling—sick headache—torpid liver and are constipated, you'll find quick, sure and only pleasant results from one or two little Dr. Edwards’Olive Tablets at bedtime. Thousands take one or two every night just to keep right. Try them. 10c and 25c per box. All druggists. RATS AND MICE—THE WORLD’S WORST PESTS Hats and mice are among the worst animal pests in the world, according to biologists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. From their home among filth they visit dwellings and storerooms to pol-

lute and destroy human food. The rat carries bubonic plague and many other diseases fatal to man and has no doubt been responsible for more untimely deaths among human beings than all wars of history. In the United States rats and mioo destroy each year in homes, in factories, stores and warehouses, in cars and on ships, crops, poultry and other i property valued at more than $260.000,000—an amount equivalent to tne gross earnings of an army of 200.000 men. Grain, eaten and wasted by rats and mice on many farms, would pay all the farmer's taxes. Rats and mice breed from 6 to 10 times a year, producing their destructive kind at an alarming rate. They are parasites without a single redeeming characteristic. RAILROADS’ EFFORTS ARE SUCCESSFUL. Chicago. Nov. 6—The Railroads’ War Board has received reports tn- ■ dicating that the efforts of the railroads and coal shippers to prevent the threatened coal shortage in the northwest during the winter lias been more successful than seemed possible daring the summer. With five weeks or more left before the close of navigation ou the great lakes 23.348,100 of the 29.000.000 tons which it was estimated will be re--1 quired, have already been sent to the ’ northwest. ■ The commission on car service is i now directing efforts to the work of | insuring an adequate coal supply for domestic and industrial uses of coal in ! all other sections of the country. ' While a greater supply of coal has l been mined and shipped than ever be- . fore' the difficulty today is that she | consumption all over the country ts greater than ever before. A LONESOME. LOST DOG I | One of the most woe-be-goue dogs ever seen on the streets of New Cas- ; tie has been loafing about the traction j terminal station for three or four days, evidently looking for its master. The dog is evidently a grade collie, and smiles and wags his tail whenever he hears a kind word. The dog probably belongs in the country, aud is very hungry.—-New Castle Daily Times. The dog. from description, may be ' the one that spent several months in • this city.

FROM RLRBfIMfI Writes Newton Rex on the Eve of Being Trans* ferred TO RAINBOW DIVISION _ Told of a Military Funeral being Held at His Camp. Newton Rex, at Camp Sheridan, Ala. sou of Mr. and Mrs. John Rex, sends the following letter to his mother: Camp Sheridan. Ala., Oct. 21. Dear Mother and All:— Received your card and Earl's letter also, today. Glad to hear that everybody is able to be about, I am feeling fine myself at present. The weather here is quite chilly at present. It has been for a couple of days. We had quite a heavy frost last Friday night, some of the old timers here said it was the coldest night they had had here for years at this time of the year, anil believe me it made us shiver to get out at 5:15. We have plenty of bedding and clothing, but have no stoves in our tents, something that would come in handy at night when we are sitting around.

Tell Mary 1 got the papers she sent, and found them quite interesting. Guess I read every line in them. We understand that our company is to be transferred to the Bth regiment, they call it the second rainbow division and will leave here in about .ix weeks for Long Island. N. Y'.. to got ready to leave for France about January. Don’t know how true it is, but we know we are going ty be transferred to some other regiment. So, if you write me just address my mail the same as you have been till you hear different. They are having a military funeral in the 3rd regiment this afternoon. They are right next to us, are ju-t playing the funeral march now. It for a young fellow from Cleveland. He was shot Thursday night by a military police. I don’t know what they will do with the fellow that (lid the shooting but I suppose he will # get a term in federal prison. They say lie had no right to shoot. The young fellow was coming home from town in in auto and was in the back seat. The M. P. ordered the driver to halt on account of his Hghts’Veinl but. and - fore he could stop the M. P. fired at the machine and the bullet struck this young fellow in the stomach and he died Friday night. Well, 1 guess this is all for now. Love to all. Write when you can. From Newt.

HOLLAND BOARDING HOUSE FOR WARRING NATIONS. tTJnf ted S^rvlcel Washington. D. C., Nov. 3—(Special to Daily Democrat)—Switzerland with her thousands of mountain chalets, may be the hotel of Europe in peace time. But just now the leading boarding house of the world is Holland. The thrifty Dutch have taken in half a million or more Belgians. and enough British and German soldiers and officers to bring the total up to the 750,000 mark. Just a few days ago. the little kingdom contracted to care for 16,000 convalescent British soldiers. Enjoying the confidence of both German and allied leaders. Queen Wllhelmina's little principality has led a prosperous if somewhat nervous existence throughout the war. That is, there has been much money in circulation. Food, especially for the poor, is not plentiful. At the beginning of the war, Holland probably was pro-Teu-ton. Along her French borgers. feeling was different, however. As the war progressed, it became plain to al lthat neutrality or destruction were the kingdom’s alternatives.
