the advice Of the company or its presi-

with extension of it's privileges printed
In red ink on the back Of it, was in his
possession. and afforded ready means
of information as to his rights. The COM

under no disability from the consequences
of their Indifference and disregard of or

Where a duty rests upon a party IN

otherwise, to communicate such facts he
must do so truly and fairly. It is contrary

Created and Main aimed.
BY Vin0l.
THAT THE FOOD is DIGEST.
Ed is ASL0 E0UALLY
NECESSARY.
We Recommend Vinol as an.
Appetite Creator.
WE GUARANTEE THAT VIRGIL
WILL AID. DIGESTION

u d. + i !
vinol is the greatest aid to digestion
that we have ever known.
Its 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 10 created for good
simple food and a good appetite is the
sure result.
With cod-1iver oil as. formerly taken
the medicinal elenents which it con-
tanned were too often unable to
counterfeit the harm that was done by
the. obnoxious grease that cnveloped
them.
Now that In Vinol we have those
same clements separated from the vile
tasting fat, we have a tonic and re-
builder that is simply marvellous in its
action.
The following is a letter thatwiu cx-
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 tria1and prove to- themselves
its recuperative powers. "-MRs. EL1z-
ABETH FEENEY, Waterbury, Conn.
We want every one In this place to
know more about our vinol, how It
cures and what it cures. Certainly
the greatest tonic and rebuilder we
have ever sold.
We. therefore, cordially Invite any
one interested to cell upon Us, and
we want all to bear In mind that we
will gladly refund TO any one who Is
not satisfied with the action OF vinOl
every cent they pay for 1t.

The case was heard on demurrer, which
the trial court sustained and dismissed

The court says: III is not perceived how

ADVERTISING MADE wANMAkER

at his store in the Quaker City, John
Wanamaker employs an army of about
5000 clerks; at the New York estab-
lishment perhaps as many more. He
was one of the first in the department.
store field, which now almost domi-
mates mercantile trade in the large
cities.
He owns that it was advertising that
built him up commercially. He pays
a salary of $4,000 year to the man
who writes his daily advertisements
for the Philadelphia store.
He never cuts down his advertising
expenses in dull seasons. Rather, he
increases them. For, according to his
logic, the dull season is the very time
when trade most needs to be stimula-
ted by advertising.
Two business principles guide him.
The first is to be on the alert TO buy
exactly the kind of goods the people
want, no matter in what quarter of the
globe these goods are to be found; the
second is to tell the people all about
them through the medium of newspa
per advertisements.

while examining class for confirmation,
asked one of the little girls the ques-

''That's where we go to suffer for our
sinsI' was the reply of the child, who
had evidently been carefully prepared
for the examination.
Her mother, greatly agitated, begun
to rebuke her: ''You mean purgatory,
Kitty; tell the bishop you mean purga-

"Don't cry, Kitty" said the bishop,
soothingly, "you are nearer right than
your mother suspects. p"
