THE STORY oFTINOL. — B> Smith, later & Falk, Druggists. < >ur experience with medicines extends over many years. We ve had ample opportunity to watch thousands of them and their re suits. We’ve never seen any me .- icine sell itself as does \ mol. ( u>temer after customer comes for Vinol again and aagin. That s the best kind of a testimonial. They wouldn’t want a second bottle if the first gave no help or relief. We want everybody in Decatur know the value of Vinol and how we stand behind it. Vinol is popular and takes because it possesses merit. Vinol contains all the cur ative. strength-creating elements of cod liver oil. without the nauseating. disagreeable taste and smell of the oil. Any cne can la ke it without making a face. Old and young can digest it. There are many imitations of Vinol made from drugs and chemicals which are said to have the same effect as Vinol, but please remember the makers of Vinci are the only ones in the world who know the secret of separating the curative elements of the cod’s livers from the oil and grease, ani who Can make for you a preparation containing all of the real alkaloids or medicinal principles of cod liver oil ana not fool you ~.h chemicals said t: resemble the cod liver oil alkaloids. Therefore. there can be nothing els- just aS ’’good. ” Vinol gives you a hearty appetite It does more It tones up the stomach; it builds up the system in many way?. It’s a t nie-a v . '. maker, a flesh creator and tissue builder. It’s one of the best things known t- medicine for weak lung-, wasting diseases or general det::, y. We’ve sold hundreds f Nettles of Vinol and guaranteed them Hardly one in a hundred comes back to us. If you have nct yet used Vinol we strongly commend it to you Your money refunded if it does not benefit. Smith. Yager & Falk ■druggists Osar Lrwellti aad Miss Kay to be Married To-day.

— JAPANESE FARMERS. If the Ma»« Lor Be Hard. Hi* Wife" J* Still Harder. Il the ioi oi i* Japanese fanner lx? hard, that of L.s wile is infinitely ha rhe' Sue not only does an equal amount of labor in the field, but the care of the household aud the responsibility of the ch: Aren also rest upon her shoulders. From earliest infancy a Japanese girl is taught to be obedient to her tsre-is and when she is about to be married her mother gives her thirteen ru.es by which to steer her bark on the ragged sea of Japanese married life. Ameug them are the following: •Be always kind to your mother inlaw and sisters-in-law." "Get up early, stay up late at night and do not take a nap in the daytime.” "Be a good housekeeper, to economical in everything.” It i» well for the happiness of tie girl who is about to become a farmers wife that the last two commandments hare been so instilled that she is prepared to regulate her life by them. The first to rise, she is sure to be the last to retire, and when the male memtors of the family may to seen stretched on the floor taking their siesta the patient housewife may to seen mending - >::ie garment or else laboring in the field. It is scarcely necessary, however, to train her to to economical for that is compulsory. Before the farmer has awakened from his heavy sleep his little wife creeps from ur . - i - mosquito net ani .e-i >ru . - i hasty t diet, prepares the mom!"c meat When the other cemiers of the family aiise. the tods, wh * i. are ..eavy qupit-.'-ed on the floor, are carefully rolled up by the hn«T h ■■isewite and placed in the ckret. there to remain until again required. As there is so little furniture used in a Jap:.: '* ti->use. and es:>ecially in that of a pent one would naturally think that the d caestic duties would to very light. S ’.h. however, is not the ease. I When the ledding has teen removed, tie meal is then -owed in the same room. All the members of the family scuat on the d or. The millet or rice, which is the principal and oftentimes only article of diet is brought in in 8 wc-x'ea hit het. and the wife ladles it o«r. s-—es ter first and oftentimes waits until the whole family has finislsed before she partakes of the food herself. When the brsbrnd h. -s gone to the field the wife rem -s the dishes and washes them, tocettor wirh any pots that m y have beer nsed at the oeigbborj< well or in the stream that C >ws Just outside tor cottage door. These canals or streams are a great labor saving institution in Jsnan and are use! for many and varied purposes. The fanner, tired and dirty after his day’s work, refreshes and cleanses himself by a plunge into the running water. As one travels through the country at one point one may see a woman doing the family washing in the stream. Farther down the road the tired, travel stained pilgrim may to seen refreshing his weary feet by laving them in the same water. At other points travelers slrke their thirst, dusky urchins disp-.-rt themselves, and the overworked wife cleanses tor dishes la it—Ada L. A Murvutt in PflThe Bailarn Cler<ym>n. A young miaiater was called a few days ago to a church Ln a thriving •astern city. His predecessor had been a weli known preactor whose sermons | had attracted large congregations, but vtc«e expressed tolief was that the clergy mst s single duty was the spiritual welfare of his people. The church had failed to meet current expenses for several years, and its considerable de: i was increasing with mechanical regularity. The newccaner was not a wonderful matte, but be had a firm rnocth. and J?.w Within two years to i was at the bes>: of a smoothly running business organization wh-.<se departments were handled by men who on- , derstood their work and did it. which , discounted its bills and rednerd its old ■ indebtedness. The churvh had toc-ome a working church. "The church,” to said one day. "is a temp<csal organisation doing an en finely practical work. Business integrity is as necessary to its continuance and definite achievement ag necessary to its advance as in any other ten.p. ral organisation.*' “Tour predecessor was right, however «p- se up one of his leading members. with a smlie.

Qneer Ways ot an Extraordinary Seet In Turkey. The Vendees, the Baal worshipers or devil worshipers of Turkey, are an extraordinary people, and. although fore- j ed by the laws of conscription to serve : in the Ottoman army, the seizure of > one or more of their young men by a Turkish recruiting party is sueh a distressing spectacle that once witnessed ; it can never to forgotten. Wails and yells of despair are raised. Men. women and girls kiss the recruit’s eyes, cheeks, mouth and hands. Throwing themselves on the ground, they even embrace his legs and feet- I The conscript appears d du e dazed j with sorrow. He folds in his arms ■ and caresses over and over again his weeping kindred, whom he will net er see again. He kisses the wails and the hearth of the cabin in which he was born, but which he is about to qipt forever, and wets them with his tent's, but when, accompanied by bis Turkish i aptors. he leaves the village the lamentat: >ns of the v: • _ers cease. Then, and as though nothing had happened, the latter go about their ordinary occupations. Never again is the conscript’s name mentioned, and on joining his regiment the young Yezidee becomes a Mussulman. His kindred. believing him accursed, affect to forget him. and were he to approach the village from which he has t>een forcibly dragged away every Yezidee. ! even his dearest friends, his father, mother, brothers, sisters and sweetheart. would drive him from their presence with curses and pelt him with stones. The Government's Matlr. A certain congressman who takes an interest in musical matters presented a bill advocating a larger appropriation for the care of the music in the Congress. rial library. He spoke briefly on the subject, and after the session a fellow cungransman approached him confidentially. “I say,” be said in a low voice. “1 like that bill of yours. But. tell me, what sort of music does the government have over there in the library? Is it a band or just a hand organ?”— Harper s Weekly. Her Hand. “Sir,” began the timid youth as be entered the office. “I am in search —er —that is. I came to seek your daughter’s hand”— "Well, it isn't anywhere in thia vicinity.” interrupted the stern parent. “She’s probably using it as a piano thumper about this time of day." DO IT TODAY. The time-worn injunction, ‘‘Never > put off ’till tomorrow what you can do today,” is now generally pn sentedin this form: “Do it to-! day That is the terse advice we I want tc give yon about that hacking cough or demoralizing cold i with which yon have been strng-1 gling for several da vs, perhaps weeks.
