Following the disposal of the primary
bill, the house took up another measure
over which there had already been some
skirmishing, giving rise 70 considerable
hysterical talk i'll certain quarters
That was the bill of Senator Brown TO
authorize .the attorney general to ex-
anime the books of railroad company

ration of his pleadings III any litigation
between such company and the state or
any Of its officers on its behalf. The
bill was declared by the attorney gen
eral TO be necessary 10 the successful
preparation of state cases, and II was
passed by the emphatic vote of eighty
four to thirteen, as it came from the
senate, and so only needed the approval
of the governor, which only waited for
the printing of the act And thus those

Druggist Parker Enthusiastic Over

We se!lmany tonics," said Mr.. Parker,
our well known druggist.
I've have many calls for our so-called
strength creators.
1--WE handle all kinds of remedies that
claim to be invigorators. We do this be-
cause we are druggists, and it is our bus
mess to supply the public with which
they want.
when our advice is asked, however,
as to a tonic and rebuilder, strength
creator and an appetite producer, we in
variably recommend Vinol. We do this
because we know all about Vinol. We
know all that it contains, and will tell
YOU it is not a secret patent medicine.
We have sold enormous quantities OF 1t,
and we have had every Oppor tunity Of
fered us to watch the results that have
been accomplished by the use OF this Won
derful reconstruction.
III you have not yet had occasion to
use such a tonic we would like to have
YOU call on US, and learn why we are go
enthusiastic about this scientific remedy.
"Vinol contains all the curative priDci-
pies in a highly concentrated form that
are found in cod liver oil. 1t does not
contain, however, any Of the obnoxious,
digestion destroying grease that always
| proved to be such a drawback to what
otherwise would have been a most val
liable remeday. We wish you would re-
| member Vinol. and bear in mind that as
a blood enricher and flesh creator for old
and young and as a wonderful aid to di.
gestion we know of nothing that viii
compare with it.
Such is OR faith in Vinoi that we vii
gladly refund to any one who is not sat
is6ed the price they have paid US for it. ,
