blame should be attached to the In

APPETITES
Created and Maintained
by Vinol.
THAT THE FOOD is DIGEST

NECESSARY.
We Recommend VinOl as an
Appetite Creator.
WE GUARANTEE THAT vIN0L
WILL AID DIGESTION.

Vinol is the greatest aid to digestion
that we have ever known.
tits because Vinol acts so benefcially
upon the stomach that it accomplishes
so much good.
Vinol contains the active curative
principles that are found in cod-liver
oil, without any oil or grease.
These medicinal elements act SO
favorably upon the stomach, that this
organ obtains for itself the elements
necessary for creating new flesh, muscle
tissue and for making rich red blood.
When the stomach acts easily and
naturally, desire is created for good
simple food and a good appetite is the
sure result.
With cod-liver oil as formerly taken
the medicinal elements which it con-
tanned were too often unable to
counteract the harm that was done by
the obnoxious grease that enveloped
them.
Now that in Vinol we have those
same elements separated from the vile
tasting fat, we have tonic and re-
builder that is simply marvellous in it's
action.
The following is letter that will ex-
plain itself:
This is to certify that | have used
six bottles of Vinol, and have found it
of great value as an appetizer and
tonic in general debility. | have re-
ceived so much benefit from its use
that gladly furnish this testimonial
in order that others may be induced to
give it a trial and prove to themselves

We want every one in this place to

the greatest tonic and rebuilder we
have ever sold.
We, therefore, cordially invite any
one interested to call upon as; and
we want all to bear in mind that we
will gladly refund TO any one who Is

RULERS OF THE WORLD,
Meat Eating Nations Are the Lead
ers in Every Branch of Human
Achievement.

Meat Eating Nations Are the Lead
ers in Every Branch of Human
Achievement.
The ruling nations of the world are
meat eaters, and history records that
they always have been.
Vegetarians and food cranks may
explain this in any way they choose,
but the facts remain that the Ameri-
cans, English, French. Russians and
Germans are meat eating nations, and
they are also the most energetic and
most progressive.
The principal food of the heroic Boer
soldier, known as Biltong is sort of
dried beef, affording a great deal of
nourishment in a highly concentrated
form
The weak races of people are the rice
eating Chinese, Hindoos and Siamese,
regarded since the dawn of history as
progressive, superstitious and in
ferior physically and mentally to the
meat eating nations who dominate
them.
The structure of the teeth plainly in
dicates that human beings should SUBJ
sist upon a variety of food, meat, fruit
and grains, and it is unhygenic to con-
hne ones diet to any one of those
classes to the exclusion of another
Meat is the most concentrated and
most easily digested of foods but our
manner of living is often so unnatural
that the digestive organs refuse to
properly digest meat, eggs and similar
nutritious and wholesome food, but it
is not because food is unwholesome,
but the real reason is that the stomach
lacks, from disease or weakness, some
necessary digestive element; hence
arising indigestion and later on, chron-
ic dyspepsia.
Nervous people should eat plenty of
meat, convalescents should make meat
the principal food hard working peo-
pie have to do SO and brain workers
and coffee men should eat, not so much
meat but at least once a day and to
insure its perfect digestion one or two
of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets should
be taken after each meal, because they
supply the peptones, diastase and fruit
acids, lacking in every case of stomach
trouble.
Nervous dyspepsia, catarrh of stom-
ach, gastritis, sour stomach, gas and
acidity are only different names for
indigestion, the failure to digest whole
some food, and the use of Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets cure them all because
by affording perfect digestion the
stomach has chance to rest and re-
cover its natural tone and vigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
real household medicine: it is as safe
and pleasant for the stomach ache of
the baby as 1t is for the imperfect di-
gestion of it's grand sire.
They are not cathartic, but a d.
gestive, and no pill habit can ever fol-
low their use; the only habit Stuart
Tablets induce is the habit of good d.
gestion and consequently good health.

AFTER SOCIAL CLUBS.
Macon Wants Them to Pay Liquor
Licenses.

Macon, Feb. 5.-The social clubs of
Macon will oppose the payment of a
5000 license assessed by the City Coun-
ell for the privilege of selling intoM-
cants to their members.
Council claims that inasmuch as the
clubs were paying both a state tax and
a revenue tax, it was proper that the
city should come in for its share.
The Lee Hall, the Cherokee, the Elks
and the Progress clubs of the city
were all given notice to appear before
the Recorder this morning on the
charge of not having paid licenses, but
the hearing was postponed because of
the absence of the attorneys. 1t is I'M
derstood that the clubs will oppose the
license on the ground that the bar of
the clubs is not run for profit, but for
the benefit of the members of the club
only, and that they should not, there
fore, be considered in the class with
the men who are in the liquor business
to make a living.
The case will be heard before the Re-
corder next Wednesday.

ALL EVIDENCE IN.
strike Commission Has to Hear
Five Days of Argument.

Five Days of Argument.
Philadelphia, Feb. 5.-After a sitting
of exactly fifty-one days. the Anthra-
cite Coal Strike Commission concluded
the hearing of witnesses at o'clock
this afternoon and adjourned until next
Monday. when it will begin to hear the
arguments of counsel representing the
several sides. The arguments will take
up five and a half days. the operators
having been assigned three days and
the miners the remainder of the time.
To-day's sessions were taken up in
hearing the last witnesses presented by
the miners in rebutta1. Much of it re-
lated to the alleged unequal distribu-
tion of mine cars, nearly a dozen wit
nesses testfying that they could load
more cars than the companies furnish
ed them.
In all, the committee heard 566 wit
nesses. Nine of these were called by
the commission, PA by the union min
ers, 155 by the non-union miners and
1873 by the operators. The stenograph-
ers took down approximately $500
typewriter pages of testimony, or g.,
100000 words.
When Attorney barrow announced
the conclusion of his case, Chairman
Gray, speaking on behalf of the COM
mission. said:
In some respects the hearing has
been an uneXampled one, 1 think, in
the experience of this country. The
commission has cndeavored to keep
wide open the doors by which testf-
mony could come to US that would
throw any light upon the very serious
questions that We have to consider;
and we wish now to thank the coun-
sci on both sides for their co-opera-
ton and assistance in calculating the
complex questions that we have had
presented to us. There has been much
to excite feeling; much to appeal to
the passions of men in this matter. We
feel that we ought to congratulate
both sides and their counsel on the
good temper. fairness and conciliatory
spirit in which they have urged their
claims"
