GET STRONG
vinoI Makes Weak
People Strong.
WE GUARANTEE IT WILL
DO SO.
WE KNOW OF NO TONIC OR RE-
BUILDER LIKE IT.
vinol does create strength.

V1nol does create strength.
We know that and have proved it in
many instances
The reason Vinol rejuvenates and
strengthens person is that it acts
directly upon the stomach, strengthen
ing and toning up this great vital organ
and enabling it to obtain for itself,
from the food that is taken into it, the
elements which are required to make
firm healthy flesh and muscle tissue,
sound bone structure and pure healthy
blood.
Vinol does this in scientific way
and is enabled to do it because it con-
tains, dissolvedin delicate mild wine,
in a highly concentrated state, the act
i've principles of cod-liver oil.
Vinol does 1T contain any of the
grease that formerly characterized cod
liver oil, hence is free from all the OBJ
jectionable features which made it inn
possible for patients to take or retain
that vile-smelling remedy into their
stomach.
Vinol in its favorable action upon
the stomach and other organs of the
body acts also in beneficial way upon
the nerves and brain, and will be
found to be invaluable to brain workers
as well as body workers.
The following letter is from a we'll
known authoress. 1t reads as follows:
81 wish to acknowledge the receipt
of the Vinol and testify to it's great
benefits. Since taking it am much
improved in health, and during the in
tense heat of last August l should not
have been able to continue in my liter
ary work if it had not been for the
strengthening properties of Vinol.
Yours in gratitude. ELLA STARR, 1O6
W. SD St., n. Y. City.
We wishany one sufferingfrom
weakness, a demoralized con-
ditiOn of the nerves, or suscep-
tibility to wasting diseases, to
call on US and hear what we have
to say in regard to VinoI.
Try it on our recommendation,
and if you find it does not do
everything we claim for it, we
will gladly refund to you the
amount YOU have paid us.

similar to the public schools The children
are received only at a school age OF or s
years When they have finished the course
they are sent away to take care of them
selves.
In the state university and the normal
schools, tuition IS free. In the public and
high schools of the state, tuition and text
books are free. in some states centralized
country schools have been established, and
free transportation is furnished to and from
them for children living at a distance. The
school for the deaf and the school for the
blind give free tuition, free text books, and
free board for the children. Only in the mat
ter Of free board, are they in any whit diff
ferent from the university, normal schools
and public and high schools in the matter of
state support 1t is a difference of degree,
not of kind.
Deaf and blind children are of normal intel
lect. They are children of citizens and tax
payers, and such entitled to free educa-
ton at the expense of the state Because
the state gives them, of necessity little
more than to other children, is that any rea-
son why they should constitute a part of the
custodial and reformatory system Of the
state?
The day is long past when public aid to
education should be looked upon as a charity
II you speak of deaf and blind children as
OOJSSIo VI Shoi ilys lu0l all WHO pTOHL Dy lQo
states free educational Institutions, from the
university down to the country school, are
also objects Of charity. If you give one poor
person quarter, and the next one who comes
along quarter and a square meal the one
case is as much an act of charity as the
other.
The claim Of the school for the deaf and
the school for the blind to recognition as edu-
cational institutions can be substantiated in
M hof Nv
in the persons of the graduates. The state
has no more worthy class of citizens than the
deaf and blind who have received education
at these schools. Four of the graduates of
the school for the deaf are, or have been, edi-
tors or publishers of newspapers within the
state One founded the school for the deaf
Of North Dakota, and was its superintendent

COOL TOWARD DS.F.'S
House Busies Itself With It's Own
Measures.
EIGHTEEN BILLS PUT THROUGH
Sweets Bill DiscOuraging Quick Di-
vOrce Concerns FavOrabIy
Acted Upon.

All records were shattered in the lower
body this morning by the passage OF
eighteen bills. The work on the calendar
was resumed at the afternoon session.
Just at this time the house is very in
tent on enacting measures into law which
have their origin with the representa-
tiVes. Senate bills are being indifferently
treated because it has been noted that
members of the upper body are sometimes
disinclined to take up house bills when
there is any work to be done upon their
own legislation.
Among the bills passed was that by Mr..
Sweet, penaliZing the solicitation of di-
vorce business through advertisements.
The effect of the Sweet bill viii be seri-
ously to curtail the practice of those at
torneys who stand charged with the re-
sponsibility for suggesting and pushing
divorces in many cases where marital diff
ferences have been slight or quarrels have
been minor.
AS the law now stands summons may be
issued from justice courts in Minneapolis.
To render complete the abolition of these
courts, Mr.. Dobbin has introduced a bill
providing that in the future no summons
or processes OF service shall be allowed
Another bill by Mr.. Dobbin provides a
permanent headquarters for the Minneso-
ia department of the G. A. r. in the new
capitol building.
Another Hospital Bill.
Another Hastings and Anoka hospital
bill has made its appearance. Mr.. Lee
is its author. 1t provides for two cot
tages at each of the hospitals mentioned,
the cost of construction and equipment not
to exceed $500 per patient. Aecommoda-
tion is to be furnished in each cottage
for one hundred patients. There is an
arrangement made also for the transfer
of patients from Fergus Falls, Rochester
and st. Peter to Anoka and Hastings
Prescribed Liquor.
1t is apparent that in some counties
physicians and apothecaries make use of
their privileges tO violate the law reg
ulating the sale of liquor. Mr.. Hill
mond, in bill, for which he stands spon-
sor, places a limit on the amount of in
toXicating liquor which may be prescribed
for medical purposes. The maximum
quantity is made two ounces to any one
person the same day.

The conference committee on reappor-

morning and after talking things over,
adjourned until O'Clock. No definite
progress was made This committee will
undoubtedly come to an agreement, and
will leave Redwood county in the seventh
district. 1t is possible that Waseca will
be put back in the first district. This is
desired by most of the first district,

to prefer to have Waseca attached to the

ONE NEW BILL OFFERED
Senate's Evening Session Too Light
ly Attended to Do Business.

Ay Attended TO DO business
One bill was introduced in the senate
last evening and nine bills were recon-
mended for passage. Only thirtytwo Of
the sixty-three senators who should have
been present were in their seats, and with
bare quorum present no one dared to
move the passage of a bill lest an acci-
dental negative vote might kill it. So the
senators were in session only about an
hour.
Senator Ives had a little spat with Sen
ator Knatvold over the merits of "reno-
waited" butter, and the latter, coming from
dairy county and knowing little more
about the subject, was able to sidetrack
the Ives motion to Indefinitely postpone
action on the bill requiring label on
renovated butter.
The lone bill offered came from Senator
Wilson. 1t provides that notaries public

MINNEAPOLIS MEN MAPPING
The Art Commission Bill Meets am
UntimeIy Death.

UntimeIy Death.
The Hennepin delegation some weeks
ago favored a bill to authorize cities to
create art commissions and it was intro
duced in the house, going to the commit
tee on general legislation. The commit
tee apparently thought there was a wood
chuck in it and reported it for indefinite
postponement and the report was ac
cepted in the house without attracting
the attention of the Minneapolis men.
They have now discovered that the bill is
dead, and Senator Snyder will introduce
it in the senate, hoping to be able to get
It through before the close of the ses-
sion.

THE PROGRAM GOES
Tax Committee Votes to Refer ia
cObsOn Bill to Commission.

Tax Committee Votes to Refer ia
cObsOn Bill to Commission.
The Jacobson gross earnings bill met
with a cold reception yesterday afternoon
at the hands of the house committee on
taxes. By an almost unanimous vote, the
committee decided to recommend that the
bill be referred to the tax commission.
This is in line with the plan as outlined
in T o r /, and it is given out
that majority of the house members are
pledged to it.
Jacobson was assisted in his protest
against reference by James A. Peterson of
Hennepin. These two leaders buried their
past differences and agreed to team it,
on the gross earnings bill. Jacobson told
the members of the committee that they
need not figure on an early adjournment,
as that has been killed, and that the refer
ence to the tax commission would simply
postpone the increased tax for two years.
Tax Ferret Bill.
The Bush tax ferret bill will be reported
out with recommendation to indefinitely
postpone, but this will not mean the death
Of the bill. The committee was a tie and
Jacobson voted with the opposition in or
der to get the bill reported out. He will
make his fight for it on the floor Of the
house
Inheritance Tax.
Another important measure handled was
the Washburn inheritance tax BILL 1t was
amended so as to make it general in it's
application, applying to all forms of prop
erty, in order to get over the ruling of the
supreme court, by which the former in
heritRnce tax was deciaed unconstitu-
tional. In this shape it will be reported to
pass.
