The Christmas Delineator.

The December Delineator, with its
message of good cheer and helpful
ness. will be welcomed in every
home. The fashion pages are unus-
ually attractive illustrating and de-
scribing the very latest modes In a
way to make their construction dur
ing the busy season a pleasure in
stead of a task, and the literary and
pictorial features are of rare excel
lence. A selection Of love songs from
the Wagner operas, rendered INTO
English by Richard lie Gallienne and
beautifully illustrated in colors by j.
C. Leyendecker, occupies promi-
nent place, and chapter in the
composers series, relating the ro-
nance of Wagner and Cosima, is an
interesting supplement to the lyrics.
A very clever paper entitled, The
Court Circles of the Republic, de-
scribing some unique phases Of
Washington social life is from an
unnamed contributor, who is said to
write from the inner circles of So
ciety. There are short stories from
the pens of F. Hopkinson Smith,
Robert Grant, Alice Brown, Mary
Stewart Cutting and Gilmore i liott
Peake, and such interesting tiers
as Julia Magruder, L. Frank 'aum,
and Grace MCGOWAN Cooke the
attention of the children Many
Christmas suggestions are given in
needlework and the cookery pages
are redolent of the Christmas feast.
In addition. there are the regular de-
partments of the magazine. with
many special articles on topics re-
lating to woman's interests within
and without the home.

By George {. Greene, Druggist.

Our experience with medicines ex-
tends over many years, We've nau
ample opportunity to watch thousands
OF them and their results. We've
never seen any medicine sell itself as
does yinol. Customer after customer
comes for Vinol again and again
That's the best kind of testimonial.
They wouldn't want a second bottle II
the first gave no help or relief.
We want everybody In Brattleboro

we stand behind 1t.
Vinoi is popular and IL taxes pc

tains all the curative, strength Great.
ing elements of cod liver OIL, Withou,
the nauseating, disagreeabie taste
and smell of the oil Any one can
take IL without making face. Old
and Young can digest it. There are
MANY limitations of Vinol made from
drugs and chemicals which are saio
10 have the same effect as Ninol, out
nlease remember the makers of Ninoi
are the only ones in the world VINO
know the secret of separating the
curative elements of the Gods llVers
from the oil and grease, and VINO can
make for YOU a preparation contain
ing all of the real alkaloids or medic
inal principles of cod liver oil ana not

sembie the cod liver oil alkaloids.
Therefore. there can be nothing else
just as good. ...a
Vinol gives you hearty appetite
II does more. II tones up the stomach,
II builds up the system in many ways.
It's a tonic-a blood maker. a flesh
creator and tissue builder. It's one OF
the best things known TO medicine Ior

We've sold hundreds Of bottles OF
