al to the Indianapolis Journal

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
GREENCASTLE, Ind, Jan. 25-De Pauw
University's field agent, Rev. c. E. Line,
has received from Andrew Carnegie's first
secretary communication asking for de-
tails as TO the cost, size and location OF
the universitys buildings, the form of the
university's grounds and other details.
This letter is in reply to a request which
was made to Mr.. Carnegie last November

future prospective needs for a larger
structure. That Mr. Carnegie asks for

ton that the matter has interested him
and that he may donate the necessary

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
emusions 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 severe
sickness.
Vinol cures hacking coughs, chronic
colds, bronchitis, and all throat and
lung troubles.
A prominent physician writes: j.
"Vinol is the most palatable and
valuable preparation of cod liver oil
ever compounded. Inow use it entirely
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 arc not satisfied.
