The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1903-12-30

Through the digestive organs the blood
receives its bodybuilding material, and
strength and vigor is given TO every organ
in the body. Vinol strengthens and tones
up the weakened nerves Of the stomach,
and soon enables the sufferer to digest
with ease the very foods that once caused
distress
Vinol contains no drugs, and no naus-
eating oil, but 1t does contain the vital
principles Of cod liver oil, which will heal
and tone up irritated, worn, tired stomachs.
II any person in Barre tries Yinol for
stomach troubles, for rundown, debili-
tated condition, TO give strength to the
weak, to gain flesh, to inYigorate old
people, to make rich, red blood and
build up the convalescent, to cure hard
colds, stubborn coughs or bronchitis, and
it fails TO give satisfaction, we will refuud
the money paid for it. Rickert & Wells,

Twelve batteries From Moscow Or
dered 10 Far East.
Moscow. Russia, Dec. 80 Twelve
batteries of the four grenadier brigades
Of field artillery, stationed in and
around MOSCOW, have been selected for
service in the far east and have re-
ceiyed new guns, which the Russian ar
tillerists claim are superior to the
French field pieces. The early de-
parture Of three Of these batteries is
expected, which viii place los field
guns, with the latest equipment, at the
disposal of Viceroy Alexeieff.
1t is said here that all the volunteers
living at their homes, who, as gradu-
ates of high schools, are privileged to
serve only year with the colors, have
been ordered into barracks.
No extensive movements Of troops
eastward have been reported here up to
the present.
The government is considering max
ing the sale Of tea and sugar state
monopoly, as proposed by NJ. Witte
while finance minister. There is much
opposition TO the proposal on the part
of the tea trade and the grocers. but
the growing needs of the treasury and
the exhaustion Of other resources, as
pointed out in NJ. Whites last budget,
are believed in well informed circles to
make the adoption Of the proposition
probable.
The present brandy monopoly yields
upward OF S300000O00 yearly. about
one-fourth Of the revenues Of the en-
pire, and the monopoly Of tea and
sugar is expected to be even more
profitable, as the expenses Of its opera
ton will be small.
