GAIN FLESH An Absolute Necessity
 in Many Cases. A DECREASE IN WEIGHT FREQUENTLY INDICATES
 A DECLINE. Our Modern Rebuilder, Vin0I,
 Will Help You Do It. THE WAY IT ACTS ON A DE- PLETED CONSTITUTION IS
 SIMPLY MARVELLOUS.

Are you getting thin If you are you had better watch yourself. Take Vinol. It will build you up quickly and surely.
 A healthy man does not vary much from year to year in his weight This is as 1t should be. Vinol enables the organs of the body to renew flesh, muscle tissue, bone structure, and at tends to purifying the great vital cur rent of the human system, the blood.
 Vinol contains the active curative properties of Cod-L Liver Oil in a highly concentrated state, and is the most wonderful tonic that we have ever had anything to do with.
 Vinol acts upon the stomach in a beneficial way, enabling it to obtain for itself the necessary ingredients from the food that is taken into it to build up the pure healthy body and in- crease the weight.
 Mir. H. M. Stufell, who is a we'll known passenger trainman on the Boston and Maine Railroad, suffered as many railroad men do, with kidney and other troubles. He writes as fol- lows:
 My kidneys troubled me a great deal, my bowels were very irregular, had great distress in my stomach, suf- fered with bilious headaches, had no appetite, could not sleep nights, and was losing flesh rapidly. l began to take VinOl, am now on my third bot tie, and it is doing wonders for me. My kidneys are better, my bowels arc again regular, my stomach no longer troubles me, and no more headaches, and as for appetite, don't speak of 1t; I sleep like a top and have gained thirteen pounds. You can count on me always to recommend Vinol as the king of medicines"
 With many such testimonials as the above coming before us, 1t is not strange that we endorse VinOl as strongly as we do. We unheSitat- lngly agree to return to any one who has taken VinOl and is not satisfied that 1t has accomplished all that we claim for 1t every cent that they have paid US for this remedy.

HOME
AND INFLUENCE .

AND INFLUENCE.
 Bishop Mackay Smith of the Episcopal diocese of Philadelphia in a recent ad- dress Is reported as making the follow ing references to woman's Influence in home and State affairs:
 Woman has been at times too much the plaything of society,"" he said "Oth- CTS have gone to the other extreme of aceticism. Some have looked upon this world as dross, while others have thought of life. Men have sympathized with the latter extreme. The truth lies between the two.
 Woman may by her self-praise infiu- ehce and save man. She Is queen of the social sphere as he is king of the busi- ness world. In woman the ethical and the holy predominates more than in man.
 Works which count for purity are largely hers. Woman has more preju- diceS than man, but she has greater depth of feeling, more conscientiousness than man. boy once in giving an account of the creation said. Then God took Adams backbone and made 1t into a woman.
 Women have been accused of a lack of charity for other women. Perhaps it is as well she should not have more. It holds women to a higher standard and acts as a safeguard for the whole social fabric. But they fail in not holding the same standard for men. I have known good Christian women who would not countenance anything like a deviation on the part of another woman receive a man whose acts they would not have counte- nanced in their own sons. In other men they smiled and even made a jest of them.
 Men should be held to the same stand ard as women, yet good and pure women receive with indifference excuses from men which they would not dare to apply to their own sex
 Tt is woman who will be increasingly an influence for moral growth among the nations of the world as discourager of violence by using, not abusing the world and as an upholder of moral standards" A LIBEL ON LEARNED WOMEN.
 A medical paper has discovered a cu- rious drawback incidental to the practice of medicine by women, and that is the .long time lady doctors require before they are ready to respond to night call. A man jumps into his dressing gown, ac- cording to my authority, and trips light ly downstairs, twisting his mustache into shape as he goes. The woman doctor, on the other hand, has to go through numer- ous solemn rites before she dare show herself in public. Has she really, now? Well, judging by the appearance of the lady doctors whose acquaintance I have made. should believe those rites to ex- ist in the imagination of the medical jour nars reporter, and nowhere else. If this were the only drawback to women's prac- ticing medicine, they were happy indeed. London Lady.
