Get Children
Right

Measles, scarlet fever, mumps
and whooping cough are uniyer-
sally prevalent.
With all these, the disease itself
is often trivial, but the after effects
are very serious.
Close observers say that one
half the people suffer from eye
trouble (result of measles), or
bronchial, ear, or kidney trouble
(result of other diseases of child
hood).
Now a child in robust health
will throw off these diseases. A
weak ailing child will probably
suffer all its life.
We have just the medicine for
puny, ailing children. 1t is Vinol.
It is pleasant to take. it is free
from dangerous drugs, it is nour-
ishing and gently tonic, it helps the
food to digest and gives strength.
1t has been used in this town
with great success when children
were slow in getting over whoop-
ing cough and measles.
1t seems to give them a start,
and they become bright and
healthy. Used with Vinlax, the
bowel regulator, it is safe and sure,
both for ailing children and bur
-dened mothers. Take home a
bottle on our guarantee of money
back if it's not good. Don't let
your little ones remain weak and
ailing.

There has been a GOO deal of talk
this week as to whose fault it was that
the two parties did not get together on
a union town ticket. The case seems
to be like this: An ov erwhelming ma
jOrity of both party eau cuses we're OPP
posed to uniting, but in the Demo-
cratic caucus the leaders won over the
rank and file into allowing a try at it,
while in the Republican caucus the
rank and file promptly turned down
the leaders and did as they pleased.

The tax collectorship is an Office
that appears to be arousing consider
able interest in the present campaign.
This is peculiarly an office of public
trust. If the collector fails to do his
duty, it means an additional burden
for every taxpayer. The ability and
disposition to do the work demanded,
should be the test in deciding this
m after.
