If signs count for anything then this !
locality has the ground hog buffaloed. J
Visitors to the rural districts this I
week were surprised to see a large J
number of blue birds. These little i
ieathered songsters are generally con- I
ildered harbingers of spring and their
presence so soon causes observers of
signs and conditions to believe that
the worst of the winter is past and
that spring is rapidly approaching. Anpthcr
happening of yesterday which
pld residenters say means the breaking
up of winter was the storm which ,
visited the city accompanied by peals ,
pf thunder and- sheets of lightning.
While Mr. 0. Hog did his best to carry '
out his promise of six weeks moro of:
winter, immediately following his .re-1
turn to his under ground domicile, by
;lvlng tills section some real winter.:
ret In the past week he has seemed to
be very visibly weakening.

? He Regained Strength.
Fairmont people will realize that
this is one more link In the wonderful
chain of evidence proving that Vlnol,
which contains beef and cod liver
peptones, iron and manganese peptonates
and glycerphosphates, has no
equal to create strength.
Mr. Chas. A. Ogle. Monrovia, Md.,
says:
"For many years I was a school
teacher, then for throe years was Deputy
Clerk In Frederick county, Md.,
and for the last three years I have
been cashier on the First National
Bank. My nerves got In such a bad
condition, and with poor assimilation
of food, I was fast becoming a physical
and mental wreck. Seeing an advertisement
for Vlnol I purchased a
bottle, and found it to be exactly what
I needed. It has not only benefited
my nerves, but built me up both mentally
and physically, and I want to recommend
it to anyone suffering as I
did."
Try a bottle of Vlnol with the understanding
that your money will be returned
if It does not help you.
