REASONS
Why our Vinol is the Greatest
Health Restorer and Strength
Creator Known to Medicine.

Because Vinol contains in concen-
trated form ALL of the medicinal cur.
alive elements found in cod liver oil,
but without a drop of oil to nauseate
and upset the stomach; therefore.
wherever old-fashioned cod liver oil or
emulsions will do good, Vinol will do
far more good.
Because we have never sold anything
in our store equal to Vinol to restore
health and create strength for old peo-
pie, weak, sickly women and children,
nursing mothers, and after a severe
sickness.
Vinol cures hacking coughs, chronic
colds, bronchitis, and all throat and
lung troubles.
A prominent physician writes:
"Vinol is the most palatable and
valuable preparation of cod liver oil
evercompounded. Inow use itentirely
in all cases where formerly depended
upon old-fashioned cod liver oil and
emulsions."
Try vinol on our guarantee to return
your money if you are not satisfied.

Primaries will be held in the Eleventh

publicans to elect delegates to the con-

nate H. g. Caulneld. attorney Of the Lin
coin Trust Company. to run for Congress
to succeed John T. Hunt.
Apparently. everything is cut and dried.
though those in touch with the situation
claim that the livefiest sort Of contest
is on for delegates to the National Con-
vention. There are no contesting delega-
tons in any Of the wards. especially as a
direct primary was called. 50 that the
fight must be among delegates selected by
the members Of the committee.
W. Lafe Sturdevant of the Twenty-sev-
enfn. T. K Niedringhaus OF the Twenty
first, L. F. Parker of the Twenty-sixth
and c. H. witthoeft' of the Second Ward
are the most prominently mentioned as
delegates. Friends of State Chairman r.
J. -Akins are fearing that an effort Is be-
ing made TO secure two delegates in that
district who will be opposed to his eiec-
ton as National Committeeman.
On that account the result Of the fight
for delegates is being watched with some
interest. Just why any question should
attach to this, feature of the game is q
mystery to the average politician, as IT. is
generally conceded that the State chair
is controlled by his friends. and only
treachery within his own camp could beat
him.
