Created and Maintained
by Vinol.
THAT THE FOOD IS DIGEST
Ed is ASL0 EQUALLY
NECESSARY.
We Recommend VinOl as an
Appetite Creator.
WE GUARANTEE THAT VIN0L
WILL AID DIGESTION.

Vinol is the greatest aid to digestion
that we have ever known.
It's because Vinol acts so benefcially
upon the stomach that it accomplishes
SO much good.
Ninol contains the active curative
principles that are found in cod liver
oil. without any oil or grease.
These medicinal elements act so
favorably upon the stomach, that this
organ obtains for itself the elements
necessary for creating new flesh, muscle
tissue and for making rich red blood.
When the stomach acts easily and
naturally, desire is created for good
simple food and good appetite is the
sure result.
With cod-liver oil as formerly taken
the medicinal elements which it con-
tanned were too often unable to
counteract the harm that was done by
the obnoxious grease that enveloped
them.
Now that IN Vinol we have those
same elements separated from the vile
tasting fat, we have tonic and re-
builder that is simply marvellous in its
action.
The following is letter that will ex-
plain itself:
"This is to certify that l have used
six bottles of Vinol, and have found it
of great value as an appetizer and
tonic in general debility. l have re-
ceived so much benefit from its use
that gladly furnish this testimonial
in order that others may be induced to
give it trial and prove to themselves
its recuperative powers. "-MRs. ELIz-
ABETu FEENEY, Waterbury, Conn.
We want every one in this place to
know more about our Vinol, how il
cures and what it cures. Certainly
the greatest tonic and rebuilder we
have ever sold.
We, therefore, cordially invite any
one interested to call upon us; and
we want ali to bear in mind that we
will gladly refund TO any one who is
not satisfied with the action of Vino
every cent they pay for it.

Commissioner Heacock Dismisses the
Case Against Shipping Brokers
Brown and SaVorV.

The charges against J. Savory and H
Brown, shipping brokers, were dismissed
Yesterday by United States Court Com
missioner Heacock. They had been &C
cused of violating the allotment law en-
acted at the last session of Congress, and
their case was the first on record on this
coast. 1t was alleged that in shipping
Sailors Svenson and Mcdonald they had
exacted and collected fee Of SIS from
each under the pretenSe that the sailors
were indebted to them for that sum,
The prosecution was initiated and con-
Quoted by the Coast Seamen's Union, an
officer Of that organization attending the
examination and counseling with Assist
ant United States Attorney Woodwork.
Ex-Assistant United States Attorney Bert
Schlesinger had charge of the defense.
The fate of the accused men piVoted
upon the shipping articles signed by the
sailors in the office of the Hawaiian Con-
sui clause appeared in the articles
that the sailors owed $50 of their advance
wages, and that this debt was payable to
Brown.
the Hawaiian Consul, and that the clause
had been injected into the Shipping arti-
cles without the knowledge or consent of
himself or his partner, MT. SaYory. The
defendants swore that Mcdonald and
Svenson owed them only so cents, and
that they had not made any claim be-
fore the Consul for even that sum, they
receiving their fees from the owner of the
vessel for which they were furnishing the
crew.
After the case had been dismissed, Mr.
Brown said that the sailors were stool
pigeons for certain ~ersons who had an
enmity against the shipping brokers.
