VinoI Will Create 4
Healthy Appetite.
Unsurpassed as AN
Aid to Digestion.

Loss of appetite is extremely distress
ing, furthermore it is dangerous.
We do not have to tell you how much
you are missing when you do not enjoy
what you eat. Without food it is i'm
possible to live. No matter how much
you eat if that same food is not properly
aSsimilated and changed into blood, flesh
and muscle there is something wrong and
danger in the way OF illness is very apt
to follow.
The fundamental principles of the
good done by our Ninul that we recon-
mend so strongly lie in tie fact that ii is
most marvellous digestion promoter.
The first thing that Ninol does when
taken into the system as to give vim and
vigor to the stomach. II makes that
organ crave food. il enables il to digest
the food that is eaten.
Where Vinol IS taken, the elements
that are contained in the food ere all alb
sorbed and dispersed to tile various parts
of the body where they are needed. Z hat
which is necessary TO create firm. hard
bone is thus obtained. he necessary
ingredients to make rich. red blood are
also extracted. All that is needed to
make firm, healthy flesh tissue is found.
When all this is doEc and flesh and
strength are gained and the blood en-
riched, nothing but good health can
follow.
If you are already i'll. you will lind that
in any trouble for which cod liver oil was
formerly prescribed there is nothing in
this world that can compare with Tinol
Mrs. Jennie Cove of Biddcford. Name
says she was all run down. she had no
appetite, was tired out. and had no am
bTion for work. was sick to her St mach
and had faint feeling in the morning
She was persuaded to Try Ninol. In two
weeks she gained seven pounds. From
the first dose she began to feel better,
and today she is strong and well and en-
joys a splendid appetite.
We cordially invite anyone interested
TO call upon us for we want every citizen
in this town to hear all about Vinol, and
to learn why we are so willing 10 refund
its cost TO anyone not satisfied with the
good we claim il will accomplish,

Gov. Stone has called out the entire
military force of the State of Pennsyl-
vania and the coal operators will now
be given an opportunity to make good
their promise that, if protected from the
violence of the strikers, they could mine
coal enough to relieve the situation and
supply the country. President Roosevelt
has requested Mr.. Mitchell, president of
the Mine Workers Union, to use his
influence to induce the men to go to
work with the promise of appointment
of commission to investigate their
grievances, and further promise that
the President will urge upon Congress
legislation in accordance with a recon-
mendation of that commission.
A committee representing the National
Association of Manufacturers went to
Philadelphia after meeting John Mitch.

they were ready to meet the operators.
The nature of Mr.. Baer's reply is not
known, but in answer to question the
railroad president said ~ know moth

to make any further statement.
President Perry of the committee said
the invitations to meet the committee
had been sent to all of the presidents
who had met President Roosevelt last
week and that favorable replies had been
received from three of them. He would
not, however, divulge their names
The various mass meetings of miners
called in different parts of the coal
region are reported to have voted unan-
imously not to accept the proposition
made by President Roosevelt to resume
work.

Herrmnnn and Kellnr.

The late Professor Hermann, the
magician, was possessed not only Of
great strength In his hands, but Of
such skill as would enable him to per-
form apparent feats Of strength which
would be impossible to far stronger
man.
His greatest feat along this line was
to place two packs Of cards together
and tear them across.
A friend of his, going into cafe
with Hermann, met another friend
who was accompanied by quiet look
ing man with big mustache.
The four sat down together and
Hermann was at length induced to
tear two packs of cards in half.
"That," said his admiring friend, lis
something no other man alive can do"
The quiet man with the mustache
coolly picked up the torn packs and
tore the halved sections into quarter
sections.
Then, as the rest glared amazedly at
him. he remarked:
81 forgot to mention my name is
Kellar."
1t was Herrmann's foremost rival in
the sleight of hand business.

man, was at one of his appointments
to baptize some children. There was a

matron brought her four children to

smile to come over the congregation,
but the brave preacher went on with
his duty.

that set the congregation In a roar,
