She Took Our Vinol with
Good Results.
WE WANT EVERY ONE TO
KNOW ABOUT 1T.
READ WHAT We HAVE TO SAY.
COME AND SEE US.

We don't want any one in this city
to drag themselves through life in pain
and misery for the want of enough
strength to feel well and happy.
If you feel listless, without ambition
and run down, it is a bad sign.
You are running grave chances. You
are in condition to be attacked by
most any disease.
This feeling Of debility is symptom
that your system is generally democrat
lied. You should take a tonic.
You should take Vinol, which we
know and will guarantee will restore
your strength.
Following is one case where it did
this. Mrs. T. II. Boyle, Of sc Chestnut
St, West Newton, Mass, says:
Last spring l used one bottle of
Vinol. At that time l was all run
down and sick. l find that it did me
lots of good. and by its use my strength
came back to me-"
Ninol is delicious preparation, con-
tanning the active curative principles
that are found in cod-liver oil, dis
solved in a delicate table wine.
Vinol acts directly on the stomach,
aiding digestion and at the same time
creating healthy appetite. 1t gives
strength and vigor to every organ Of
the body.
We endorse VinoI, and guaran-
tee its action, and will gladly
refund to any one who is not
satisfied the money which they
paid for it.

and does SO, until dyspepsia and cholera
morbus lay him low. The national
digestive apparatus was in such good
time in 1892 that the people thought it
could stand anything and they took an
overdose Of democracy and the dyspep.
STA and the cholera morbus followed in
1898 and 1894.
Do you see anything similar in the
conditions of 1892 and 1899? Are not
the conditions of prosperity almost
Identical? Are not the agitators still
on hand? Are you ready to take a
second overdose of democracy-demo-
cracy weakened by the desertion of its
conservative elements and made more
poisonous by the admixture of popu-
lism? Do you think the national stom-
ache can stand the stuff any better now
than it could in 1892?
Let US 60 pretty slow about repudiat-
ing the good we have for visionary
benefits offered by party which has
not single successful administration
to Its credit-not a one. When the
agitator tells you how badly you are of,
go look at the figures. Look up the in
terest rates, read the market reports,
go out and try to find man who will
work for you at 1893 wages, read the
figures of the deposits in Iowa State
and Saving banks, a gain of 1926, 0OO, 600
in eighteen months, go look at these
things and then go back to the aeitator
and tell him that you had a sample bot
tie OF his medicine some five or six
years ago, and that you still remember
it, and that you do not care for any
more, thanks.

A Shrinking Company.

The Davenport Leader, which in
1896 heartily supported Mr.. Bryan for
president. and is thus not to be reckon
ed among the gold bug boilers, is not
exactly pleased that Mr.. Bryan has
been invited to make speech in Des
Moines the evening preceding the demo-
cratic state convention. 1t charges
that those who have mismanaged the
party hope to cover up, under the shout
Of :Hurrah for Bryan" consideration
OF the facts Of their Encouragement.
In support of its claim that some
thing is the matter with the Iowa de-
mocracy, our Davenport namesake calls
attention, first, to the fact that the re-
publican plurality was raised from %,
600 in 1899 to 65,O0Oin 1886, in spite of
the fact that in 1896 the populists voted
with the democrats, while in 1892 they
voted for their own candidate. Next,
the Davenport Leader considers what
has been the political drift in Iowa
since 1896. 1t finds that in 1892 twenty
eight Iowa counties were carried by the
democrats, viz:
Allamakee, Audubon, Benton, Bre-
mer, Carroll, Cedar. Chickasaw, Clay.
ton, Clinton, Crawford, Davis, Des
Moines, Dubuque, Fremont. Iowa,
jackson, johnson, Jones, Keokuk, Lee
Lyon, Marion, Muscatine, Plymouth,
Pottawattamie, Scott, Shelby, lama.
Total for 1892, %.
In 1896, under the new leadership, it
finds that seventeen counties were
saved out of the. wreck. most of them
by greatly reduced majorities, viz:
Carroll, Chickasaw, Crawford, Davis,
Decatur, Dubuque, Fremont, Harrison,
Jackson, johnson, Lee, Marion. Mon
ona, Monroe. Shelby, Union, Wayne.
Total for 1896, IL.
In 1898, after two years more of the
new leaders, the Davenport paper finds
that ten counties in Iowa were carried
by the democrats, viz:
Carroll, Chickasaw, Crawford. Davis,
Dubuque, Fremont, johnson, Lee,
Marion, Monroe. Total for 1895, 10.
The Davenport Leader claims that
these statements are worth the con-
sideration of Mr.. Bryan, saying: They
give facts that Bryan would do we'll to
ponder upon. as far as Iowa is concern
ed. Thew speak for themselves. They
point their own moral. He will be met
at Des Moines with requests for his
personal endorsement of the leadership
of the little clique of bosses whose con-
troll of the party's machinery has had
such disastrous results in Iowa. "-Des
Moines Leader.

its service in the Philippines. Where
ever it has gone it has reflected credit
on its state. At San Francisco last
summer the regiment was a favorite
with the hospitable and patriotic peo-
Pile of that town, who could not do
enough or say too dattering things
about the character and conduct of the
Iowa soldiers. When, after long de.
lay, the Iowans were at last forwarded
to the Philippines, they were held for
another tedious wait at Cavite, seeing
no active service, aside from garrison
duty. But this, too, came to end at
last, and the boys from Hawkeyedom
were at last sent to the fighting line.
They are still there, and for about
four months have been serving side by
side with the regulars and covering
themselves with glory. 1t has been
said, on the authority of men who have
seen them in service, that they are the
best volunteer regiment III the Philip
pines.
AS the regiment cannot be received
in Iowa by Iowa people, it is considered
proper that official Iowa shonld receive
it when it once more reaches American
soil. Governor Shaw is favorable to the
plan Of meeting the regiment when it
arrives at San Francisco. He proposes
to take his staff, and expects that a
considerable party of prominent Iowa
people will go. Then there is always
large Iowa colony ON the coast, which
would gather for the reception. The
troops could thus very easily be made
to feel very much as if they had already
reached home.

history can forget that splendid show

Harrison in his farewell message. In
that memorable document the president
set forth the wonderful facts of our
national prosperity, wages were high.

Anent The Teachers.

The teachers of Crawford county are
gathered here in full force this week
and the REVIEW extends to them q
hearty greeting. To them is entrusted
one OF the most important functions of
civilization and upon their conduct and
ability depends to a very large extent
the future of hundreds of Crawford
county boys and girls.
Recently we heard good mother de-
plore the fact, that when her children
were young the modern science of
teaching had not been developed and
she felt that they had labored under a
handicap with which the children of
to-day do not have to contend. This
is true Of our schools. particularly IN
larger cities, but it remains deplor-
able fact that our country schools have
not made the progress they should. We
do not blame the teachers nearly so
much as we do the system which does
not pay the country teacher sufficient
wages to warrant the preparation which
it is necessary, that a first class teacher
should have. The wages vary from S1S
to $50 per month with employment not
to exceed. on an average, two-thirds of
year. For such sum no one can af-
ford to make special preparation in
order to make teaching a profession.
Even the two weeks at the county nor
NAL is strain upon the purses of not a
few of our teachers. The fact is, the
teacher is giving full value for the COM
pensation received, and until our people
awaken to the fact the money saved to
the teachers fund is saved out of the
future happiness and welfare of their
children, there can be no pronounced
Improvement in our schools. Teaching
should be profession, it is in most
cases but expediency. We hope our
teachers will not think we are critici-
sing them, for we are not. We are
criticising the system which affords to
the teacher 80 little object for prepar-
ing properly for the work. The excel
lence of the country teacher is of even
more Importance than that of the city
teacher. The city boy or girl has many
different teachers, they have the adj
vantage of lectures, churches and So
cieties, which the country child does
not have. We do not tlatter ourselves
that these utterances will have any
material effect on our schools. 1t will
De many years before some Of our d.
rectors see beyond the dollars and cents
involved, it will be many years before
some will stop hiring their relatives to
keep school whether they are compe.
tent or not, it will be many years be-
fore it is learned that it is just as i'm.
portant to know HOW to teach as 1t il
Is to know the facts to be taught, II
the meantime our teachers are doing
the hest they can with the means al
their command to do some good for oul
little folks. Give the teachers a
chance, pay them living wages, insist
that they be fitted for their work, al
public expense if necessary and they
will respond nobly to their new oppor
tunities for good. a
