A pale face is al indication of disease.
There are many women who through
Overwork, worry or care find themselves
in a weak, debilitated or rundown con-
dition, which makes life a burden.
A continuation of this condition may
induce lung troubles, stomach troubles,

or of the liver, ora arrangement of those
organs that are the source of SO much
suffering for women. =.
All such women should come in and
see us, as we want to tell them about
Vinol. -J ae "a.
Vinol is not patent medicine. 1t
contains nothing but the curative prin-
ciples of Cod Liver Oil, combined with a
little organic iron and delicious table
wine, and as each of these ingredients
have been used alone by our best phySi-
clans foryears in treating general debility,
bronchitis, consumption and all wasting
diseases, it can be readily understood
that the scientific combination of these
three ingredients will produce wonderful
results.
Vinol is especially good for women
whose blood is thin and weak; it puri-
fieS and enriches the blood. 1t is also
excellent for women who are nervous
and worried because nervousness and
worry always affect the stomach first,
taking away the appetite, making the
sufferer thin and languid. Vinol is so
delicate it can be taken into the weakest
stomach. The wine increases the ap-
petite, ant the medicinal elements of the

adds flesh. Yet it contains no oil or
grease and is deliciOuSly palatable,
We know Vinol is wonderful and
powerful rebuilder, and in advising you
to take it we know what we are talking
about. Vinol is what we say it is; and
if you are tired and all worn out do not
let another day pass without getting a
bottle of it.

in the States interested in the next
Congressional elections. If there is any,
thing in this threat it would seriously
imperial Republican control of the next
House. The President is perfectly will
ling to take the chances on this, but the
House leaders resitate. This much has
already come out of the situation.
Men in both Senate and House recog-
niZed as having the right to speak af-
firm that Mr. Roosevelt has thrown away
now, should he do nothing more, all
possible chances he had to receive the
Republican nomination for the Presi-
dency in 1904. Ohio has the cinch or
certainly has seemed to have it for
long tine on the Republican nominal
tion and the man whose name is most
in the mouths of the politicians is Sena-
tor Hanna. 1t is claimed he is naturally
the residuary legatee of Mckinley: that
he has demonstrated beyond any dispute
marvellous capacity for leadership of a
high order. He has proved himself in
the Senate a debater able to cope with
all Corners and evinced a thorough
knowledge of and capacity TO deal with
publicg questions. 1t is further alleged
that his attitude on the labor question
and his connection with the arbitration
agreement make him solid with the la
boring classes. Furthermore, it is said
that when the time comes Mr. Roose-
welt will not have the delegation of his
own State in the national convention.

may not develop to such an extent in the
next few months as to have any serious
effect in November, but on this ground
there is more or less apprehension
There is a kind of premonition that the
people may, as they have done before
more than once without any warning
conclude it would not be a bad thing to
have a little turnover. Many of the
Republicans do not disguise the hope
that the Democrats will help them by
committing some folly. AS the Demo-
Gratis are given to this business, there is
ground for this hope. Yet no one can

A SAD DEATH.
A Tribute to the Memory of Mr. Robert F
Green.

Especial to the News and ObserverO
Youngsvile, n. c., March 1O.-This en-
tire community is overwhelmed with
sorrow and intense grief for the death of
an amiable friend and most congenial
neighbor, MIR. Robert F. Green Seldom
if ever is witnessed in a large community
as this a demonstration of such unani-
nifty of grief. But so good and beloved
was the man, that the loss seems al
most irreparahle to his neighbors and
family. Mr.. Green had been sick only
one week of pneumonia when the iron
hand of death was placed upon him. He
lacked only a few months of being fifty
eight years old. He leaves a wife, three
brothers and five children to mourn his
loss, and how noticeably sad are they,
for the community has always observed
how beautifully and strong was the love
taht existed between parent and child
and wife and husband He was for a
number of years a devout and faithful
member of the Christian church and for
over quarter of a century a most zeal
GUS and enthusiastic Mason. He loved
Masonry and his brethren. At his death
he was a member of Youngsville Lodge.
No. 377, A. F. and A. NJ. AS a most cor
dial testimony of the esteem of the fra
ternity for him, about sixty Masons
gathered at the home and grave to con-
tribute loving expressions in the last
hour
Mr.. Green was considered by all a
good man. Naught was ever said against
him. His spiritual nature was deeply
imbued and touched by his Masters His
life We may now look upon as one beau
tifully blossoming into the likeness of
Cod He came down to the end of a
well spent life with a face covered with
halo of glory and so impressive that
the memory of those last days will linger
with the loved ones as beautiful dream,
though sad, and to the very end of their
lives. Shortly before his death he said
to his youngest son, Jack, the will of
God is accomplished Blessed be the name
OF the Lord. / must 60" How ineXpli-
cably beautiful thus to die as a Chris
tian. He was a true man. One from
whom his neighbors got good counsel.
In modest and unassuming way he did
great good. So happily blended were
his strong devotion to his family, his
diligence, his perseverance and his
eaTnestness as to make his life almost
without spot or blemish. These beau
tiful virtues he wore daily. When al
most stripped of life, these still shone
out in beautiful contrast. But why say
more? His own beautiful life fresh in
our memory is a loving tribute to his
exemplary character, his amiable conduct
and his unfeigned fidelity to the right.
His departure viii be sensibly felt. Our
hearts go out in the most tender sym
pathy to the loved ones for the loss of
their dear father and husband and
brother.
His remains were inferred in the town
cemetery Sunday afternoon and there lie
to await the resurrection morn. An I'M

cred to do honor to his zmemory. After
