OLD AGE
Depends Not Upon Years, But Upon
Vital Force.
A Great Discovery to Ward Off Old
Age.

In Barre lately there has been a good
deal Of discussion in regard to old people.
Some at 80 years call themselves old, and
really appear so; while others at 20 seem
active, vigorous and young.
A reporter Of the Times happened in
the store Of Rickert & Wells, our local
druggists, the other evening, and this sub
jeot was brought up. said Mr. Wells Of
the firm; .'lt Is a fact, and we see il Illus
trated every day right here ia Barre; il Is
not years, old age does not begin at any
set time, but 1t is loss Of vital force that
max es person old Weakened digestion,
thin blood and poor circulation soon start
functional powers and vitality on the
wane. and then the symptoms Of old age
quickly appear. You know man is as
old as he feels.

Wells, "that old feeling may be warded
off, and l wish every person in Barre who
feels old, whether they are 50 In years or
not, would try the great discovery, Vinol.
know that 1t has vital principles which
will in a natural manner strengthen diges-
Eion, assimilation and all the functional
powers, send rich, red blood coursing
through the veins, and give new life to
every organ Of the body, and this is what
makes the old feel young again.
Mrs. II. w. Avery of Norwich, n. T.,
writes:
"At the age of 50 / felt the need of a
tonic, something to strengthen and build
me up. For year and half have taken
Vinol, and | have found that it brings
vigor and life to the aged as nothing else

which former United States Senator
Edward Murphy's son is a member
and Benjamin w. Kinney, manager for
the Fuller Warren company in Boston,
are dead, the victims of the fire which
partially destroyed the Troy club
The dead men were sleeping in the
clubhouse, Messrs. Clough and Shaw
making the place their home, and We're
overcome by smoke and could not es-
cape from the flames. Soon after the
fremen reached the scene the doomed
occupants of the structure were seen at
the windows but nothing could be
done to save them, SO dense was the
smoke and so rapid the progress Of the
conhagration
Edward Carpenter Of New York, a
guest of the club, was taken from an
upper window by the firemen and re-
moved to hospital, where he is recov-
ering from the effects Of smoke inhaled.
He was in town preparing for his mar
rage with young society woman Of
the city. Ills escape from death was
regarded as one Of the remarkable fea-
lures of the fire.
An investigation is in progress for the
purpose Of determining the cause
the fire. One theory advanced, which
is receiving considerable attention, Is
that the trouble arose from a lighted
cigarette coming in contact with some
eombustible material The floors Of
the club were saturated with oil used
in cleaning and polishing. and these
made the progress of the flames rapid
The walls OF the building were 81

in month or six weeks, and the in

Berlin, Dec. S1.-The Lokalanzeiger,
without reserve, says
'The japanese government has in

moment is unbearable and that Japan
must strike If Russia does not accept
the propositions Japan has submitted,
as Japan can wait no longer fora final

eminent does not believe war viii is

troversy.
1t does not appear that Sir Frank G..
Lascelles, the British ambassador here,
as previously cabled, said that war is
not unlikely unless Russia yields. The
Japanese legation believes and hopes
Russia will grant Japan's just requests.

Others Of the diplomatic corps seem
to be without news and express gen

that "hostilities are quite unlikely
and that each side is testing its adyer-

Everywhere there is anxiety for au-
thoritative news that shall bring the
period Of suspense to an end.
The mobilization Of the Japanese
navy is at least partially attributable,
according to Vladivostok dispatch to
the Cologne Gazette, 10 open acts OF
hostility on the part of Koreans to

active measures Of defense of Japanese
interests in southern Korea.
The Cologne Gazette considers that
this dispatch is an admission that
Japan has a good claim to defend her
interests in southern Korea by force of
arms and controverts the rumors to the
effect that Russia would regard the
landing Of any considerable japanese
force in southern Korea as casus
belli.
