WEAK MOTHERS
And Weak Children Find Relief. Mr.
Webster, Of This City, Quotes
a Typical Case.
Strength Made Possible to Both by vinol.
Easily Assimilated by the Weakest Stom-
ach. Relieves the Minds oI Many Anxious
Parents.

IF mothers everywhere only knew
as well as some grateful ones do, the
strength and health for themselves
and their children to be found in
Vinol, we would hear less about weak
mothers and weak children says
Mr.. O. C. Webster of Bowditch, Web
ster & Co., one of our leading drug
gists.
Mothers are always wrapped up in
their children. Often so much SO that
they forget their first duty to them
the care of their own health. First
thing they know they find themselves
tired and all run down, and then the
children begin to show the effects Of
the mothers weakness.
Il know that Vinol will help weak
mothers as we'll as their children.
Ninol is Il strenSthener and flesh
builder. 1t makes rich, red blood. 1t
keeps the system toned up and able to
bear the strains of life. Ninol is good
for both mother and child-a help in
nursing-a help all the time.
Just listen to this letter from a
mother who took Ninol and was
helped by it. 1t is typical of the
many we receive from grateful moth
crs'
Il was all run down when l heard
about Ninol. l decided to try it and it
has done me so much good and is so
pleasant to take that | give it to my
children. They are growing so fast
that it is just the thing for them"

Washington. Dec. 2S-The Chinese en-
baSSy here is without information of the
reports that Emperor kwang Su does not
approve the demands submitted by the
powers. For some days. however, tho
view has prevailed in Chinese quarters
that the terms were 50 harsh that it
would be difficult TO secure their accept
ance. The state department has received
nothing from Minister COngcr To indi-
cate that the Emperor opposes the ac-
ceptance of the peace terms. The officials
here continue to be hopeful of an early
acceptance.
The points that are referred to as oh
jectionable to the Chinese. chiefly the
maintenance of legation guards. are not
regarded here as likely to form serious
barriers to an agreement, as all of the
powers probably will give visible oVi-
dence. al an early day. of their purpose
to reduce the legation guard Us soon as
China accepts the peace conditions.
In some diplomatic quarters il is be
heVed that the opposition of the Emperor
may lead to the submission of Il CountC"
proposition or inquiry from China. This
is the natural course of diplomatic con-
troversy and ii would have the adVantaS,
to China Of saving her rights TO reduce
their severity.
Owing to the important part which the
Chinese ENJOYS will now take in the fina!
adjustment. the question has arisen as TO
who are the ENJOYS The Chinese gov
ernment announced some time ago that
five ENJOYS had been named. These in

THE SLATE WENT THROUGH.

There wasa republican county
conlention at Keystone, Tuesday.
About the only enthusiasm worked
up during the day was by the band,
q flag raising (not On the Alaskan
plan) and the presence OF McDon-
AIDS goose. A company of trough
riders" who can't ride anything
more unruly than a sawhorse, were
on hand They were there to re-
mind the good people thad there
really was such an individual as
Teddy Roosevelt. The convention
itself was tame.
The body was called to order by
Chairman d. u. Herman at IL
O'Clock. John r. Brennan was
made temporary chairman and Ed.
Hazeltine temporary secretary, this
organization later being made per-
manent. The usual committees on
credentials, resolutions, etc, we're
appointed. The resolutions com
mittee presented a set of resolutions
in which it was stated that I'VE
anticipate the result of this cam
paign with unbounded hope and con-
fi6 ence, endorsing the Philadel-
phia platform, William Mckinley
and Teddy Roosevelt; then came the
denunciation of Senator Pettigrew
and Roosevslt's charge that the
senator, the pops and the democrats
are standing for license and disas
ter at home and cowardly shrinking
fIom duty abroad" Then the res
olutions tossed few posies to Char
ley Burke and Bob Gamble, and
pledged support to the $1.75 candi-
date for congress, E. W., Martin.
