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

Because Vinol contains in a concen-
srated form ALL of the medicinal cur
alive elements found in cod liver oil,
bat without a drop of oil TO nauseate
and upset the stomach; therefore,
wherever old-fashioned cod liver oil or
smulsions 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
hung troubles.
A prominent physician writes: =.
"Vinol is the most palatable and
valuable preparation of cod liver oil
ever compounded. Inow use it entirely
I'm 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

Feed pale girls on SCOTS

We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength

health to those who suffer

The fact that it is the best
preparation of Cod Liver Oil,
rich in nutriaon, full of healthy
stimulation is suggestion as
to why it does what it does.
SCOTS Emulsion presents
Cod Liver Oil at its best,

active. He lives with his son-in-law,
Burns D. Caldwell, one Of the vice
presidents of the Lackawanna railroad
Bishop Bowman was born near Ber-
wick, Pa. He has been clergyman
for IS years. He served as chaplain
of the United States senate during 1864
and 1865, and while at the national
capital warned President Lincoln OF
John Wilkes Booth, whom he had seen
prowling about the capitol, and also
about the white house. Mr.. Lincoln
was not disturbed, and took no extra
precautions, and five nights later,
April IA, 1865, he was assassinated In
Ford's theater by Booth.
''The first time l recollect having
seen Booth said the bishop to a New
York World man, was one morning
just as was about to open the senate

Most Famous Lighthouse.

No lighthouse the world over has Al
wide fame among mariners as that
which stands IA miles of the coast Of
Lands End. It is perhaps the most
celebrated in the world. It has often
been used as an illustration by poets
and preachers, for no other lighthouse
is in such q lonesome or dangerous
place and none costs so much money
and trouble. There are three keepers
who live there with their families, and
two of them are always on duty, while
the third Is on the main coast enjoy
ing a vacation. They relieve eac.
other each month, so that none of the
keepers remains on duty more thar
two months at a time This change
and rest is said to be absolutely neces.
sary to preserve the nerves of tt
keepers. The lighthouse is 135 fee'
high, was erected in 1882 at cost OF
$500, 900, and rises from a submerged
rock.

William Haywood, who was the last
consul of he United States at Honolulu
and who now represents the Planters
association of Hawaii, recently called
on the president to arrange for the pres
entation of the new delegate:
Il shall not call him Prince Cupid"
Mr.. Roosevelt declared, "and l cannot
pronounce his last name. l never would
be able to remember it, anyhow. Cant
we cut it off somewhere and make it
simpler?"
Mr.. Haywood conferred with Prince
Cupid's advisers and after lengthy de-
bate Mister Kuhio" was evolved from
the troublesome cognonen. Mr.. Hay
wood returned to the white house with
the abbreviated title, which proved ac-
ceptable to Mr.. Roosevelt. Hereafter
all invitations to the delegate from Ha-
vail will be addressed simply to "Mr.

The Hawaiian delegate has no vote In

bate only. His predecessor, Delegate
Wilcox, who died recently, was a dne

Bishop Bowman's duties did not
bring him in close contact with Mr..
Lincoln and, as he himself says, he
was very careful about calling upon
the president. He first saw Lincoln
when he preached at a little town in
Illinois, where the latter worshiped
before the Wnf.
Ny. Lincoln was at the service, and
at its conclusion came forward and
shook hands with Mr.. Bowman, then a
circuit preacher. The two chatted to-

coin invited the minister to his home,
where he was entertained at dinner
Bishop Bowman did not see Lincoln
again until he met him at Washington,
the head of the nation.
