NO ROUND TRIP TICKETS Beginning Today the Fares Will Be Straight Two Cents. Indianapolis, April 9. —When the new 2-cent railroad rate law becomes effective at 12 o’clock tomorrow round trip rates to points along the various roads operating in the state will cease to exist, and hereafter a straight rate of 2 cents a mile will be charged for all trips. Positive declaration is also made that the railroads traversing Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania will not f reduce their through rates to conform with the provisions of the 2-cent laws enacted in these states, the rate being kept on a basis of 2% cents a mile. It is pointed out, however, that under the new ruling of the interstate commerce commission a 'through rate shall not exceed the sum of local rates between intermediate points and that such excessive rate shall be regarded as prima facie evidence that the through rate is unreasonable and trouble for the railroads is likely to follow.

MRS. SARAH J. WINDROM Bk ■ ■ Mrs. Sarah J.

I am 76 years old, but have a hearty appetite, sleep soundly, and feel active and well today, thanks to Vlnol. When I was young cod liver oil was dispensed in a greasy, unpalatable form, and it fairly gagged me to get it down. Vlnol is entirely different, very palatable and nourishing to impoverished blood. It- is the finest tonic and strength creator I ever used in my life.” Vlnol is a real cod liver preparation, from which the useless oil has been eliminated and tonic iron added. 1 Try Vlnol on our guarantee.

Although horse buyers have been active in this county for some time and the supply of marketable horses has been thinned out, a number of animal are shipped out nearly every , week. Most people do not realize the extent of the horse business in this county. Farmers every year pay more ■ attention to raising horses. Every year the quality of the stock grows ; better and Adams county horses command good prices in the markets. Horses bring in more money to some farmer than do any other other kind of stock. o Pneumonia’s Dealy Work

had so seriously affected my right lung,” writes Mrs. Fannie Connor, of rural route 1, Georgetown, Tenn., “that I coughed continuously night and day and the neighbors’ prediction—consumption—seemed inevitable, until my husband brought home a bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery, which in my case proved to be the only real cough cure and restorer of weak, sore lungs.” When all other remedies, utterly fall, you may still win in the battle against lung and throat troubles with New Discovery, the real remedy.
