PUNY CHILDREN
TOO MANY OF THEM DIE.
Their Little Bodies Unable
to Stand the Ordeal of
Development.
WE THINK EVERY MOTHER IN
THIS TOWN SHOULD KNOW
ABOUT vlN0L.
It is the Delicious Tonic We
Advise for Growing
Children.

Is your boy or girl pale and listless
Do they act differently from other
children? Do they sleep poorly and
eat poorly? Does your boy avoid the
sports and games of other boys? Does
your girl complain of headache and
find her studies hardship
If SO, you may make up your mind
they are growing too fast. They need
something to help nature in her great
work OF furnishing the necessary ele-
ments for creating flesh and muscle it's
sue, bone structure and rich, pure, red
blood.
They need tonic in the full sense
OF the word and we can tell you what
to get.
1t is Vinol Wine Of Cod-Liver Oil, the
great modern reconstruction. Children
like it, it is so delicious to the taste. in
spite of the fact that it contains a
highly concentrated extract of the
medicinal principles that are found in
cod-liver oil.
But because the vile-smelling and
tasting grease has been discarded and
all of the other disagreeable features
eliminated, the benefits of Vinol are
easily understood.
Vlnol acts favorably on the stomach,
oh dppCblIG ana enables the
food that is eaten to do the greatest
possible amount of good.
Following is a letter that bears d.
rectly on this subject:
was all run down and took Vinol.
1t did me SO much good and it was so
pleasant to take that l gave it to nv
children. They were growing fast and
needed something in the way of tonic
and found it to be just the thing for
them."-SARAH PICKERING, 1882 Fall
River, Mass.
We cordially invite mothers inter
ested in the welfare of their children.
as well as any one else needing sure,
safe and delicious tonic, rebuilder and
reJuyenator, to call on us. We will
gladly tell any one all we know about
Vinol and why we so highly endorse it.
InasmHch as we are always ready and
pleased to refund the cost OF VinOl to
those who don't find it exactly what we
claim IT to be, il will be seen that we
are prepared to substantially endorse
our claims for the excellence of this
marvellous preparation.

THE PUTNEY COLUMN.
Tricky Tobacco Buyers

Attempted n BuncO Game on Local
Growers, but the Growers Were No,
so Easy" as They Looked.
"Several sales of tobacco have been
made the past two weeks" writes a Put.
ney correspondent in the New England
Homestead. 1.-THE quality and growth of
tobacco in this locality is a surprise 10
everyone who has examined Il, and prices
that have been paid for several individual
crops lately corroborate this statement
Some are led to believe that there was a
slick Job snapped on them in the early falI
when the town was being looked over for
desirable crops, and our prices were some.
what higher than at present, and up TO
date 1t appears that way, for the buyer has
not materialzed with his cash to embrace
his pet lot purchased, and 'hullo' fails to
call him up.
"Now If our neighbor tobacco growers.
who to all appearances are up to date and
! are able TO produce and fit for the bundle
market as many of the finest crops as can
be shown In any locality Of its size In this
entire valley, barring no section, will not
allow their minds to be wrought up to
such pitch as in the recent past, but send
TO The Homestead the names of the in
| dividuals that appeared on the scene at the
time of the purchase, such method would
| be more satisfactory than talking of an ap-
! plication of cowhlde. 1t is too bad, and
the buyer and seller must bridge their diff
! ferences as best they can.

sents K. Rosenwald & Bro. of New York.
and are annual buyers in this section.
made their selections, Of many Of the finest
crops the past week, and their methods for
pleasing growers have not abated, paying
full prices and leaving a sufficient bonus
to satisfy an uneasy mind. The G.. l..
Henry leaf tobacco syndicate of Amherst
Mass, has bought 10 or more of the best
crops here the past week, embracing the
Washburn crop of u tons, which is con
sidered by all who have examined It as be-
ing the banner crop Of the valley, and the
reported price is % cents per pound in the
bundle. This crop is TO be shipped to B.
NJ. Warner of Hatfield to be assorted cured
and force sweated, and its true merits de-
veloped. There are several other crops of
more or less merit for sale In bundle,
which / am in hopes TO report later as ali
being bought up at satisfactory prices"
Putney growers were not the only ones
who had "slick job snapped on them
early in the season, but in the list are
growers in Westminster and other towns
in this section. Certain New York buyers
came TO town and made a high offer for
one or two crops which were no better
than many others, and it is believed that
their plan was TO encourage other growers
to refuse the offers of other buyers in the
hope of receiving a higher price from the
New York concern. 1t was expected that
the growers would hang on TO their crop
until it became burden to them and then
let 1t move at any price. Some of the local
growers caught on to the scheme Sc
that it was not worked very successfully in
this town.
