RIGHT OF STATES IN LIQUORTRAF-

A report favoring the passage of
the Hepburn-Dolliver bill, grant
ing the states police power over
original packages Of liquor ship
ped within their borders as inter-
state commerce, was filed in the
house of representatives yesterday
bylR representative Clayton, of Ala
bama. The. report says the bill is
not prohibition measure, but its
sole purpose CTS to allow each state
to carry out its own domestic or
internal policy in regard to the
control of Intoxicating beverages
within the boundaries Of the state.
The sole effect will be to permit
the state, if it 50 wills, to circum-
scribe the sale of Intoxicating bev-
erages within it's boundaries to the
full extent that it may desire to
restrain such traffic or to regulate
the sale of the same through the
medium of it's OWE laws, including
local option laws, high license
laws, or dispensary laws. "

Is there mother in Marietta who
will ignore such generous offer as
this? You risk net one cent. We pay
for all the Vinol your child takes is it
does not give satisfactory results.
There are plenty of children around
us who are thin, puny, ailing and tired
all the time. Don't want to do this,
and don't want to do that Do not
blame the children; they have no
strength, no blood, no vitality; rapid
growth takes all their strength,
Ninol is just what your child needs.
1t is delicious cod liver oil prepare
ton, and children love it. 1t creates
strength, makes rich, red blood ard
vitality as nothing else can, and after a
severe sickness there is nothing that
will build your child up like Vinol.
The following letter is only one which
we have received from hundreds of
mothers in regard to what Vinol has
done for children.
Mrs. e. M. Oswald, of Mansfield, o.,
writes: MY little daughter became so
poorly that / was obliged to take her
from school. She was thin, no appetite,
tired all the time and weak. we had
tried several medicines without benefit,
and | noticed your recommendation of
Vlnol and decided to try it. She COM
menced to gain at once, and after taking
three bottles, she is as well as ever she
has gained in flesh, rosy cheeks and
good appetite, and is going to school
every day"
We want to say to every mother in
Marietta that Vinol will build your
children up into strong, robust, healthy
children. We have never sold anything
equal to it in our store for this purpose,
and we will return your money if it
fails, G. NJ. Crosby & Co., Druggists.

more important issue than at this
