Some People "C&n’t
Eat Bread.
Bread is reputed to be the
w staff of life.” Yet there are
some people who never eat
bread.
We allude to this because of
t curious parallel fact in medi
cine. We recommend Vinol
and sell it on a guarantee of
money back if it does not bene
fit the user. We don’t expect
Vinol to help everybody. Yet,
strange to say, out of every one
hundred bottles sold, less than
two per cent, proved unsatis
factory. In other words, ninety-
eight out of every hundred
found Vinol of value—many of
them great value.
We want to say that if you
are run-down, weak, too thin,
ailing, with bad stomach, poor
appetite, cough, nervousness,
that we think Vinol will help
you.

WIDE EEADIEG AND GOOD MEMOKY
He KnowM .SoiuethinK About PolltleN
and Hlutory of Every European
Nation—How lie Surpriwcd Mme.
Ileuffelmuller by Him Knowleda'c
of Poland.
No president who has occupied the
White House within memory has
made so agreeable an impression upon
members oi the diplomatic colony as
President Uoosevelt, writes the New
York Commercial Advertiser’s \Va j h-
ington correspondent. Indeed it is
doubtful whether among the reigning
sovereigns of Europe there is one who
is so thoroughly at home in discussing
with the representatives of other na
tions just t lie questions in which those
representatives happen to be particu
larly interested. The German emperor
may be an exception, for ids mental
activities are said to be almost bound
less. As for the others—so members
of the foreign colony in Washington
say—not one of them can compare
with the president of the United
States. There are very few questions
about which President Iloo4l'lt does
not know something. He lias been a
voracious reader ever since he was a
boy, and he lias always been passion
ately fond of history and biography.
His memory is tenacious and encyclo
pedic. Whatever information once
gets into his mind sticks there, ready
to be called on at a second’s notice.
No president since John Qulncv Ad
ams lias begun to compare with him
in the extent of Ids general knowledge
of questions not immediately con
cerned with American politics and his
tory. He knows somethinabout the
politics and history of eve y nation in
Europe, even tlx* most insignificant,
and he at times displays a familiarity
with them which is as surprising to
their representatives in Wash'ngton as
it is gratifying.
The wife of the Aus' ian ambassa
dor. Yon Hongelmullor, is a native of
Poland. If there is a region in Europe
about which most American public
men have vague and hazy notions, it is
Poland. Everybody knows something
about Kosciusko and how freedom
shrieked when lie fell, and that is
about the limit. I’.ut it happens that in
the course of Ids reading the president
lias picked up a lot of information
about Poland and about the old Polish
families. He knows their relationship
to one another and the part they have
played in polish history, so that when
Mme. von Hengelmuller happens to be
placed beside him at dinner he can talk
to her about, her own people with a fa
miliarity and with a just appreciation
which till her with astonishment and
delight.
So with M. Jusserand, the new
French ambassador. M. Jusserand is a
litterateur of high rank in his own
country and has an international repu
tation, although comparatively few
Americans probably Pave ever read
much that he has written. He has
made a special study of early English
literature and lias written upon it with
great ability and with fine discrimina
tion. When he came to talk with the
president, he was Haltered and over
joyed to find that Mr. Uoosevelt had
read everything lie had ever written
about curly English literature, Piers
Ploughman and the rest, and the two
conversed with enthusiasm for a long
time upon topics congenial to boll)
which have no bearing whatever upon
international relations. Sir Michael
Herbert and Huron yon Sternburg of
course are old friends, dating back to
the days when the president was an
under oltieial in Washington, and all
the other diplomatic representatives in
Washington find their personal rela
tions with the occupant of the White
House exeeptioiinily pleasant.
The representative of a different type
of individual to whom the president
appeals even more strongly than to the
diplomats was in Washington recently
- Seth Uullock, the sheriff of Dead-
wood, S. I>. Bullock is as fine a speci
men of the frontiersman as could he
found anywhere, with long, drooping
mustaches, aquiline nose and hawklike
eye. Bullock came on to visit the pres
ident and Wrought with him Mrs. Bul
lock. They were invited to the German
musieale at the White House the other
evening, the president having warned
Seth in advance not to “shoot the fid
dler.” Seth was immensely taken with
the German choruses. After the enter
tainment was over Senator Lodge
asked him what he thought of it. "It
was line,” was the reply. “1 liked it. It
took me a little higher up the gulch
than I’d ever been before, but I liked
it.” Seth would go through fire aud
waver for the president, aud the presi
dent would do the same for him.
ConKreMnnaaii'a Law Practice Hcatful.
Several members of the house were
discussing their plans for the coming
summer in Speaker Henderson’s room
the other morning when General Hen
derson turned to Representative Gaines
of Tennessee, says the Washington
correspondent of the New York Trib
une, and said:
“How are you going to spend your
summer, Gaines?”
“I Intend to take a rest, an absolute
rest," was the reply.
“That means that you will resume
your law practice, I presume," re
marked the speaker, and a shout of
laughter greeted the presumption.

AIDS ROADBUILDERS.
WaKliinRton Laboratory Tents High
way Alaterialn Free of Charge.
The road material laboratory, which
was established in December, 1900, In
co-operation with the oflice of public
road inquiries, tests road materials of
all descriptions free of charge for prac
tical roadbuilders throughout the coun
try, says the secretary of agriculture in
his annual report.
Those Interested In the construction
of a road have only to send samples of
their available materials to this labora
tory and have the roadmaking qualities
of these materials determined. In the
case of materials for macadam roads
the resistance of wear to rock, its ce
menting value, hardness, toughness and
absorptiveness are determined. After
such tests are made it is possible to pre
dict which material will give the best
practical results under a given traffic.
Only practical rondbuilders of much
experience realize the large amount of
money which can be wasted through an
improper selection of material. There
are generally several materials availa
ble in every locality, and the difficulty
of selecting the most suitable for a par
ticular road is evident. The only way
a proper selection can be made within
a reasonable time is by means of phys
ical and chemical laboratory tests.
The laboratory is now equipped for
the testing of road materials of every
description as well as cement and con
crete for drains and highway bridges.
The large number of samples received
from all parts of the country, including
our island possessions, attest the value
which practical roadbuilders place up
on these laboratory tests.
THE NARROW TIRE EVIL.
Gootl lioadN Spoiled and C'ont of
Alniiitenunec IncrcuHcd.
It is worse than useless to build good
roads only to have them cut to pieces
by the use of narrow tires in hauling
heavy loads. Wide tires help to pre
serve ordinary dirt roads and are there
fore of the greatest value to them.
To change at once to wide tires
would no doubt be a hardship on some
owners of vehicles, says Good Roads
Magazine, but this is a point that can
be worked out and adjusted so that the
expense will not lie burdensome. Ve-

Good wagon roads and good trails to
