Would you like to
feel Young Again?
Many old people are lame,
nearly all are weak.
Worst of all, is that feeling
of languor, of inability to act,
of weariness at trifling exertion.
Nothing will make the old
young again, but Vinol will
prevent 93 out of ICO old people
from feeling so old.
There is no humbug about it.
We found out about Vinol, and
tried it every way before we
decided to put it on the market
and guarantee it. Now we
believe that almost any tired,
discouraged old person who
will take a bottle of Vinol and
use it as directed will feel better
right away.
it will increase their strength,
relieve their lameness and
brighten their spirits.
It does this by nourishing.
Don’t blame the old folks for
being blue and cross. Take
home a bottle of Vinol.

* it gees without saying that the serv
ice, to be efficient and satisfactory,
must be performed with regularity ami
pum-tuality. Every one will see at once
that iif clTk-ien service is only possible
over good roads; over bad ones it can
not be inj'.intaitii d.
Investigations have shown, however,
that port into of at least one-third of
the 10.0!M routes now in operation are
I;,id over had or inferior roads. Today
tl;o unimproved e,.ncHtlon of many of
< t country roads forms the one great
obstacle cncounti rod in the extension
of the rural free delivery service. The
experience of the past two or three
years Imps so thoroughly convinced the
department that the success of the
service, the ultimate perfection of its
iv'/'tation. ili'p! nils upon the good con
dition of the roads that it now e.'Mei.v
from petitioners for the service tex
agroi noiit on their part to improve the
r. ad,, or to see that the proper author!-
ti; -i will do so.
The federal authorities are, of
'•'Utrse. pifivi rless to force those eltarg
ed with the com tniction and main-
tenane' of roads to comply with these
requests, but they have it within their
power at any time to withdraw the
rural delivery service from roads over
which its operation is impeded or ren
dered impossible on account of the
lack of attention I y the state or coun
ty authorities. Ut !y in one or two in-
si lias the department been com
pelled to resort to this extreme. In
almost every instance its request is
promptly compiled with by both the
road supervisors and the people. In
this way a strong Impetus has been
given to road improvement in Indiana,
Ohio. Michigan, Wisconsin and Illi
nois.
1’. fore the department establishes
the free delivery service itt cities enti
tled to it under the law the local au-
kioritics are required not only to num-
wr the houses, but to sidewalk the
f^'i'ts. post the street nam s and to
properly light the streets. Why. then,
should it not insist upon a reasonably
good road over which to extend to the
farmers of this country the greatest
benelit ever given them by the govern-
iikut sittee i:s foundation? When our
farmers come to real’ze that they can
not have rural free delivery ns efficient
as the service enjoyed by their city
cousins unless the country roadk are
put In condition to make such n service
possible, they will not only insist upon
tin' necessary road improvements, but
will no doubt willingly have their
lamls taxed for that purpose.
I.Ine HonilM With Tree*.
The matter of planting trees along
the roadside Is receiving con aider able
attention, and the plan should lx* uni
versally adopted. A law'is already In
force itt the state of New York, says
flood Hoads Magazine, and its progress
hits been gratifying. * In Pennsylvania
the last legislature passed a law wh ! ch
provides that any one liable for road
taxes ‘'who shall transplant to the
public highway on his own. premises
any fruit, shade or forest trees of suit
able size shall be allowed by the road
supervisors an abatement of his road
taxer, $1 for every two trees set out.”
It Is provided In the act however, that
no abatement be allowed for tree plant
Ing in excess of a fourth part of the
annual road tax. A tine Is also provid
ed for In case any person destroys or
Injures the trees thus planted.

IMacen Here Wlileli Shame the Old
World's Favored ITlnieM.
We have often heard of “sunny Ita
ly" or the “clear light” of Egypt, says
the Desert; but, believe me, there is no
sunlight there compared with that
which falls upon the upper peaks of
the Sierra Maiire or the uninhabitable
wastes of the Colorado desert.
Pure sunlight requires for its ex
istence pure air, and the old world has
little of it left. When you are in
Home again and stand upon that hill
where all good Romanists go at sun
set. look out aud see how dense is the
atmosphere between you and St. Pc-
j tor's dome. That same thick air is all
i over Europe, all around tin* Mediter
ranean, even over in Mesopotamia and
by the banks of the (hinges. It has
been breathed and burned and battle
smoked for 10,000 years.
Hide up and over the high tablelands
of Montana—-one can still ride there
for days without seeing a trace of hu-
! inanity - and how clear and scentless,
j how absolutely intangible, that sky
! blown, sunshot atmosphere! You
1 breathe it without feeling it. you see
! through it a hundred miles, and the
1 picture is not blurred by it. Once

Ancestry of Shocmnklnu;.
There is nothing vulgar about the
ancestry of the shoemaking trade in
the I'uiled States. The tirst shoemak
er came over in the Mayflower. < Ills
name was Thomas Heard, and he had
an income from the London company
of IKK hi a year anil received fifty acres
of land on which to settle. Seven
years later the city of Lynn was
founded, and ever since it has been
making shoes for the world. Philip
K< rtland. a native of Buckingham
shire, was the first shoemaker of the
city of Lynn. In (Jeorge Washington’s
day Lynn had 200 master workmen
and 000 journeymen shoemakers, turn
