A FATHERS EXPERIENCE
Trying to Give BIS Little Girl Cod Liver
0a-SaYs He Had a Rsgu-
FAR Circus.

An interesting incident was told by
the other evening.
The man came in and bought bottle
OF Vinol, and while waiting for change
engaged the clerk in conversation.
Said he: Eve were told to give our
little girl cod liver oil. bought a
bottle and took It home. We had a reg
ular circus trying to get the child to
take it. Then it did not agree with her
at all, the oil upset her stomach. She
did not get any better, so / told the
doctor how we had failed, and he at
once recommended your Vinol, saying
that IL contained all Of the curative,
healing and strengthening properties of
cod liver oil without drop of oil, and
that children all love IL.
II took home a bottle and we began
to give it to our child right away. Al
most from the first dose we noticed a
change, and she has gained flesh, strength
and appetite and sleeps we'll every
night.
Il don't believe any one should give
delicate child old.fashioned, nauseat-
ing cod liver oil or emulsions when Vinol
is 20 delicious, and it will do 80 much
more good than any other tonic. II is
simply a wonderful medicine for weak,
Ipuny children, and am recommending
I It to my friends
We guarantee Vinol win make weak,
puny children strong, robust and rosy,
strengthen and inyigorate old people,
and build up the run down, tired and
debilitated as nothing else can. II it
fails we willingly return every dollar
paid for it. Rickert & Wells, Druggists.

PEACE MEETING OFF.
Russia Cannot Take Part While the
War Lasts

Washington, Dee. 1.-The report from
st. Petersburg that the Russian Govern
ment would be disinclined to participate
in new peace conference during the
present state Of affairs in the Far East
was confirmed today at the State De-
partment. Count Cassini, under in.
structions from his Government, has adj
vised the department that Russia cour-
teously agrees to the principle Of an.
other conference, as suggested By the
President, but that his Government does
not see its way clear to participate in
such conference while affairs in the
Far East are in their present condition.
Under ordinary conditions the declina
ton Of a single power to enter the con-
ence would not serve to postpone it, and
in the present instance, II Russia alone
were involved, the President would con
tinue his efforts to bring about an early
conference at The Hague. But It is we'll
understood that perhaps half dozen
other powers viii be reluctant 10 ioin
in conference in which Russia is not
represented, and this fact win no doubt
lead to a postponement 81 the proposed
conference until the Russ0.japanese
war is nearer an end.

BERTILLIOR SYSTEM QUESTIONED
The Local Police Are Interested in
Statements of Postal Inspector.

The police Of this city are interested in
the statement Of Postofiice Inspector VIII
liam williams Of Denver, Col, who as
serts that the Bertillon system Of identi-
fyinz criminals is a failure.
Mr.. Williams was measured by the Ber-
tillon system and then went TO work to
prove how little use it was in detecting
felons. He was weighed at the time OF
his measurements and tipped the scales
close to 100 pounds. His height was re-
corded as feet inches. Now his weight
is $50 pounds and he is 5 feet inches in
height. The change was brought about
by training he undertook.
It was known that STOPPING thief
might learn to walk erect and that cross
eyes could be straightened' but the fact
that a man could increase his stature has
caused considerable confusion.
