APPETlTES
Created and Maintained
by vinol.
THAT THE FOOD is DIGEST
ED IS ASLO EQUALLY
NECESSARY.
We Recommend VinOl as an
Appetite Creator.
WE GUARANTEE THAT VIN0L
WILL AID DIGESTION.

Vinol is the greatest aid to digestion
that we have ever known.
1t is because Vinol acts so beneflcially
upon the stomach that it accomplishes
so much good.
Vinol contains the active curative
principles that are found in cod-liver
oil, without any oil or grease.
These medicinal elements act so
favorably upon the stomach, that this
organ obtains for itself the elements
necessary for creating new flesh, muscle
tissue and for making rich red blood.
When the stomach acts easily and
naturally, desire is created for good
simple food and good appetite is the
sure result.
With cod-liver oil as formerly taken
the medicinal elements which it con-
tanned were too often unable to
counteract the harm that was done by
the obnoxious grease that enveloped
them.
Now that in Vinol we have those
same elements separated from the vile
tasting fat, we have a tonic aud re-
builder that is simply marvellous in its
action.
The following is u letter that will ex-
plain itself:
This is to certify that have used
six bottles of Vinol, and have found it
of great value as an appetizer and
tonic in general debility. L have re-
ceived so much benefit from it's use
that / gladly furnish this testimonial
in order that others may be induced to
give it trial and prove to themselves
its recuperative powers. "-MRs. ELIZ-
ABETH FEENEY, Waterbury, Conn.
We want every one in this place to
know more about our VinoI, how 1t
cures and what it cures. Certainly
the greatest tonic and rebuilder we
have ever sold.
We, therefore, cordially invite any
one interested to call upon US; and
we want all to bear in mind that we
will gladly refund To any one who Is
not satisfied with the action of VinOB
every cent they pay for it.

This sum is nearly $T.0O0.00O more
than the total appropriated two years
ago, which was $13,200,0O0. The seal

by the hard working members the stiff

ing on it the name of each governor

The promoters OF economy will
stand for an increase of about $780,
600 over 1901 without murmur, most
of it for state house repairs. The
capitol building needs new roof. and
the walls need replastering and fresco-
ing. The state house power plant is
in hole in the ground. About $405,-
COO is required for these purposes. Be
yond these items there is n desire to
hold the total of appropria tions close
to the line Of 1901-obviously a hard
task.

Springfield, Ills, March 3-Judge
Richard s. Tuthill and II. d. Hurley,
of Chicago, accompanied by the other
trustees of the ST. Charles Home for
Boys, with the exception of John w.
Gates, arrived in Springfield yesterday
for conference with Governor Yates
with respect to the needs of the
home. Today the trustees will appear
before the senate and house appropria-
lions committees in the interest of the
appropriation bills for the home. The
trustees areasking for $751;, 900. "This,"
said Judge Tuthill, looks like good
deal of money, and it is. But every
cent of it can be used to the very best
advantage in making provision for the
delinquent boys of our state for whom
adequate provision has not been made
by the commonwealth of Illinois.
Not Cent More Than Is Needed.
I'VE are not asking for one cent
more than we actually need 1t fire.

lutely necessary. This, however, is not
the case with us. We have made

Remarks on the Transfer OF Children.
While Judge Tuthill is here he ex-
poets to do some work i'm the interest
of the McManaman bill to regulate the
transfer of children. He considers this
one of the most important measures in
regard to homeless children that can
receive the considers ton of the general
assembly. This bill throws the same
safeguards around the person of
child" said Judge Tuthill, that it
does around any money that may be
left to it. No court will permit child's
money or estate to be transferred from
one person to another without Il prop
er record being made of it, and yet the
unfortunately placed in homes
by irresponsible persons and associa-
tons without any official record what
ever being made of the transfer"
Another Child-Protection Law.
Hurley brought with him "A bill to
provide for the visitation of children
placed in family homes. The bill
makes it the duty of every association
incorporated for the purpose of caring
for dependent, neglected or delinquent
children, which is supported in whole
or in part by public funds. to report to
the state board of charities at regular
stated times the name, age and sex of
every child placed or replaced in a
family home by such association, to-
gether with the name and address of
the family with which such child is
placed.
Calls for Reports and Visits.
1t is also made the duty of any circuit
or county judge, county supervisor,
overseer of the poor, or other public
official. who shall place any child in
a family home, to report TO the state
board of charities i'll like manner. The
state board of charities is authorized
by the provisions of the bill to APP
point not to exceed i've visitors, whose
duty it shall be to visit and report up
on the homes in which the children
