The saddestsight on earthisa broken down man or woman.
 We see such people every day right here in our city.
 It is pitiful to see a man that should be in his prime dragging himself through life dejected, discouraged and broken down, due to some premature weakness. It does not make any diff ference whether this weakness is the result of dissipation, indiscreet living or disease; 1t can be overcome.
 We have known of many very serious cases of debility quickly overcome by Vinol.
 Vinol is a scientific rebuilder and strength creator. Itcontains the active curative principles of CodLiver Oil in a highly concentrated form. The benefit that can be derived from the use of these properties is so we'll known that there is no need for us to enter into that subject.
 We could quote many instanceswhere Vinol has done good; as an example, here is one coming from Jane S. Fen 1rSu, d pKOnlucu1 H1cthUCE O1 bAiC w. Ss T. U., and resident of Suncook, N. H. She writes:
 II was run down, was in bed from May to March. Was so nervous and sickly that every one thought was in most precarious condition. My weight was reduced to 1eo pounds. l was ad' vised to take Vinol, which did, and am now very much better, and am able to be about again. As a rebuilder and a strength giver nothing can equal it. Vinol is God-blessing to anybody"
 Because VinOl is delicious, and because it does contain these much -sought-after medicinal properties we endorse it, and we unhesitatingly proclaim that it is better than any preparation of cod-Ilver oil or tonic rebuilderwe have ever had in our store. E.G. Fowler, Druggist.

leaders in this line. He will be
assisted by Prof G. HI. Dietz, of the
West Bend high school, and Miss

CITY'S SAFE FOUNDATION
LIES IN ITS FACTORIES
Necessity Of the "Dinner Pail Brigade"-G rand
Rapids the Ideal Factory Center Of
Wisconsin.

plants than she has ever been before
A factory or shop employing 200 men
means much to city OF this size.
There are many small plants in
Chicago looking for location outside
of the large cities. Grand Haven,
Michigan, has recently secured two
of them. These factories should be
found; it is not difficult. The remain
der is only detail.
A comparison may not come amiss.
Here are two towns.
Baldwin, Mich, is one of the poorest
towns in the northern part of the
state. 1t is surrounded by pine
barrens, but it has recently secured a
factory for the manufacturing OF
ladies' and children's aprons, employ
ing fifty people.
Monrova, California, is the other
town, and it is a stricking example of
the mutability and tickleneSs OF
things human. Nowhere is to be
found more stricking examples of
unrealized hopes and blasted ambi-
tions. Many a beautiful home and
extensive fruit ranch could tell a
doleful story Of a fortune sunk in the
palmy days of it's owner. "Boom
busted", has become an authorized
term in California literature.
This town is a fair sample Of un-
fulfilled promises and salted capital.
With a population of but 1900 people
the place is laid out for $4,000 inhabi-
tants, and municipal buildings, fine
streets, parks and all qualifications of
large city are evident. Electric
roads were projected and begun, city
water works and electric plants were
installed, and every body was happy.
Hotels and boarding schools and a
whole lot of churches were built.
The boom rose to it's high water mark
and property was sold at $4,000 that
can now wait for $500. Not hotel
was alive in the place; scarcely a
restaurant in which one could buy a
meal. When the bottom went out of
the boom this little city sat down ard
rested and got it's breath. 1t lacked
the dinner pail brigade, which is so
essential to the growth of modern
towns and cities.
From whatever point CT view the
problem is approached. the sober
conclusion cannot be avoided that an
agricultural community has it's lin
tation.
