I had no appetite and could not sleep at night, and nothing seem- ed to help me. By chance I heard of Vinol, and after taking the first bottle I noticed an improvement, and four bottles made mé well and strong, it gave me a hearty appetite, so I can sleep soundly night or day. I con- sider Vinol a wonderful tonic." Edith R. Forbes, Stamford, Conn. The reason Vinol is so successful in overcoming such conditions is be- cause it is a constitutional remedy and goes to the seat of the trouble. It is the greatest strength creator we know--due to the beef and cod liver peptones, iron and manganese pep- tonates and glycerophosphates which it contains, all dissolved in a pure medicinal wine. We have seen so many wonderful recoveries like this right here in Kingston caused by Vinol, that we feel perfectly safe in offering to re- turn money in every such case where Vinol fails to benefit.

ORDER YOUR "MAS PRINTING EARLY See Our Beautiful Line of Xmas Booklets & Cards FUNNY LOVE LETTERS. Some of the Queer Epistles of Ar. dent Wooers. "Is love insanity?" asked thé can- did critic; and as a reason . for his question he points to'the amusing letters made public through the medium of the breach of promise and divorce courts. 'These "Tootsie Wootsie' epistles," he says, "are nauseating in their sickly senti- ment." Certainly it is dificult to imagine a sober and practical-minded busi- ness man beginning a letter "My darling Poedle," and ending with "Oo doating Puppy." Yet this was revealed in the courts on one occa- sion, when "My darling Poodle" made Puppy" pay some £3,000. for the privilege of making love to her in such extravagant terms without being sincere in his attentions. "You little, yellow-baired ducky; you've waddled straight into my heart," another vietim of love-mad- ness wrote, and ended, "No bread and cheese for us, Angel Face. "But there'll be kisses by the bushel. Yours to the crust." One sad but wiser Romeo writhed in court not Jong ago when confronted with this poétic outburst of his soul: The glove on Mary's hand, I wish I could be for one day, Protecting my Mary's soft fingers from the cold And getting rubbed up against her ¢ . k; And even getting left at home, To sit and think in the top dresser- drawer And wish I was with Mary. A great deal more poetic in its style was the following effusion: "O, you Venus, you perfeet woman. I would offer you two willing hands, and pray that more might grow so that I might better serve you. 1 would not be your hands alone. I would be "your shoulders, that I might shoulder everything for you. This not being possible, dear one, write to me with thine hands, list with thy shell-like ears to my burn- ing words, that, leaving me thus, seem cold and hard in comparison with the fires that consume me e'en in thoughts of thee. Yours till I am eternally consumed." Girls are quite as hopeless as men when Cupid has finished with them. "I am sitting alone thinking of you, you darling curly-haired lambkin," runs one girlish epistle, "And I'm mad at you just the same--you naughty sweetheart -- because in your last letter you omly put one page of crosses. Just think, only | one page of crosses, when I sent you two." He Lost His Case. Lord Reading----better known to fame as Sir Rufus Isaacs--recently told -the story of his first brief. He had been retained to defend a man, a street trader, who had been summoned for selling bad figs. Mr. Isaacs, as he then was, ex- patiated at length on the splendid quality of the fruit, and in this he was, As was only natural, backed up by his client, utly the' magistrate inter- vened. Had either of them tasted the fruit? he asked. They both confessed that they had not. Whereupon the magistrate suggested that either 'the defendant or his counsel should eat some in court. Mr. Isaacs turned to his client: "Go on," he whispered, 'eat one or two," "What will m if 1 don't?" whispered the oti in reply. "You'll lose the ease." "All right," answered the defend- ant resignedly, 'them lose it I'll have to." a When He Was Beaten. . Macnakara, M.P., of the Brit- ish House of Commons, is a skilled debater and rarely at a loss for a re- tort.

Canadian Honey Indnstry is Capab! of Great Development. The saying, "The resources o Canada are inexhaustible," is true © no food products. more then ' honey. An abundance --ef boner yielding flowers, with a bigh aver age of favorable weather for the production and ingathering of ths honey, makes Canada a good country for the bee-keeper. Moreover, the bulk of Canadian honey is of unsur- passed quality, and honey bas be- come, as it deserves to be, a stapie article of food in many places, sell- ing Readily at satisfactory . prices when properly distributed. So states the Dominion Apiarist, Mr. F. W. L. Sladen, in Bulletin No. 26, Second Series, just issued by the Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, that can be had free on application to the Pub- lications Branch of the department. Mr. Sladen furnishes the further in- formation that in Ontario and Que- bec, and in regions in the other provinces of the Dominion, there are an increasing number of people who make bee-keeping their principal business, some of the specialists in Ontario reaping an income in excess of $2,500 per year, while there are thousands who find it a profitable and healthful auxiliary to their an- nual revenue, In Ontario alone it is estimated that there are 10,000 bee- keepers. Mr. Sladen, after dealing with the advantages of bee-keeping, and extending instructions and ad- vice to beginners, proceeds to deal with the different elements involved in bee-keeping and honey production. In a plain, concise way he tells of the location the apiary should be given, the most desirable races, the development and handling of the bees, the diseases and . enemies to which they are subject, and the at- tention they need at different sea- sons of the year. He also gives a list, with descriptive illustrations, of the principal honey-producing plants with approximate yielding periods. In fact, it would seem that pretty well everything worth knowing about the cultivation and management of the honey-bee is detailed in this handy sixty-page official bulletin or pamphlet published for gratuitous circulation, Canned Goods Scarce. Canned goods in the Dominion are becoming scarcer. In previous years when the pack was short there was usually a large carry-over, but this year the carry-over was very light. Meanwhile the pack, so far as can be gathered, is lighter than was at first expected, et----iii-- Not Emough Apples. Reports from prairie markets, says British Columbia Fruit and Farm, indicate that the demand for apples this year will exceed the supply. "Meat Prices Will Not Come Down" isthe cheerful news from the Department of Agriculture. Meat prices will not worry the man or woman who knows that a Shredded Wheat Biscuit will supply more real body-building nutriment than beefsteak or eggs and at much less cost. Shredded Wheat remains the same price, the same high quality, supplying all the nutriment a man needs for a half-day's work. Twg shredded wheat biscuits with peaches and cream or other fruits make a complete, nourishing meal at a cost of not over five cents.
