II you have consumptive tendencies,

We are sure nothing will do this for
you better than Vinol Vinol, unlike
other cod liver oil preparations, does not
upset the stomach, and does taste de-
licious

quickly than God liver oil or other RENE
dies which have taken in past years. +"
This IS only one case of many. We
know Vinol will help any one subject to
coughs and colds So sure are we of this
that we will guarantee the action of vi

One Of the most important
questions 70 receive considera-
ton BY the Presbyterian General
Assembly during its deliberations
was the matter Of consolidating
the Presbyterian church North
and South. But the church North
has received such little encourage
ment from the church South that
the Presbyterian church North
decided to make no further adj
yances toward consolidation with
the Presbyterian church South
until the latter shows some in
elination to appreciate the adj
vances. This course was decided
on by the General Assembly OF
the Presbyterian church North
upon the recommendation of the
committee on bills and overtures.
This action has great significance
in showing the disposition of the
northern church to unite with the
church of the South. but the
southern church, like almost every
other institution Of the South when
a proposition is made to bring the
two sections together. holds a
stiff upper lip and in effect repu.
dates the idea of consolidation
Yet the politicians claim that there
is no North, no South but united
North and South both in spirit
and sentiment. We fail to see the
basis for such claims.
