They need tonic in the full sense
of the word and we can tell you what
to get.
1t is Vinol Wine of Cod-Liver Oil, 1.-The
great modern Reconstruction. Children
like it. it is so delicious to the taste, in
spite of the fact that it contains a
highly concentrated extract of the
medicinal principles that are found in
cod-liver oil.
But because the vile-spelling and
tasting grease has been discarded and
all of the other disagreeable features
eliminated, the benefits of Vinol are
easily understood.
Vinol acts favorably on the stomach.
creates an appetite and enables the
food that is eaten to do the greatest
possible amount of good.

rectly on this subject:

Fhe faculty now numbers sixteen
strong men. and through the benefactions
of Mr. B. n. Duke tho college in recent
years has invested $4,000 in the most

will not be surprised that he became
more and more interested in the work
of an enterprise which was to be so
closely related to the education of South
ern youth and that he should have de-
cided to build q library in keeping with
the dignity and influence of the College
upon which his father and brother had
already bestowed large gifts and labors
The building, therefore, which we come
TO open formally and dedicate this night
to it's service in the life of this insttu-
ton and the progress of education IN the
South has cost the donor not ten thou

thousand dollars for the purchase OF

notable one in the history of Trinity, and

SOCIETY WOMAN WILL
GIVE LIVER LECTURES
London Much Interested in the Cure Of
Indigestion From the Effects of
Excess in Eating.

LONDON. Nov. 3O-Prompted by the
widespread interest in a topic that has
set the town arguing-"'Do We eat too
much?'-a series Of eight Liver Lee
lures" has been arranged for by a
prominent society woman in Mayfair.
King Edward is setting an excellent
example to his subjects by devoring
more attention to the condition of hi
liver than ever before. He is dieting
and the regimen agrees with him.
Says the woman who is promoting the
Liver Lectures"
Year by year dozens of my friends
come to me in July and tell me they
are on the eve Of leaving for Homburg
to be treated for indigestion contracted
by months Of eating in excess.
Were one Of them to come and CON
fess that he or she was about to go
10 an inebriates' nome TO recover from
the consequences Of drinking in excess
| should be shocked. and probably the
man or woman who made the confess
sion would blush and ask me to keep
the matter secret.
There IS much less drinking in the
West End now than there was even ten
years ago, especially among men, but
the habit of having Iuncheons and q. :
neTs at restaurants has certainly m
creased the numbers Of those who eat
in excess"

partment building The need OF ex-
ira space for the Office has been OBJ
vioUs for a long time In the last three
or four years crowding has been SO
great that work has been interfered
with and improvements which were
contemplated could not be made.
All Of the divisions have experienced
difficulty because Of limited space. The
exhibition OF models was moved into a
separate building and the space gained
was turned over 70 the clerical force,
but the relief was only temporary.
Chief Clerk IreIan Of the Patent Office
said this morning:
Nobody appreciates the need for
room in this Office except those who
have 20 work under the handicap OF
present conditions. Every Patent Com
missioner since / entered the service
twenty-five years ago has asked for ad-
ditionaI rooms and the requests rave
been fully justified.
The Land Office was taken from the IN
terror Department Building and we were
given it's offices. but now conditions are
as bad. OF worse, than they were be-
fore. When I received my appoint
ment IN the Office the applications for
patents numbered about GO per week
Now they are about 200 per week. but
the facilities have By no means grown
in proportion to the increase in work

partment Building We would not have
too much room"
Scott Smith. private secretary to SEQ
rotary Hitchcock Of the Interior said:

building the executive force OF the In

handicapped by the lack of space, and
