TO WEAK WOMEN
OF Beldfng and Vicinity, We Make
the Following Proposition.

"There are hundreds of women in
this vicinity who are dragging them
selves through life in pain and mis-
cry, without vitality, strength or
health" said Mr.. Connell, of Connell
Bros. "They get no happiness out of
life and are just in a condition to be
attacked by almost any disease. The y
need withdrawing and strength
creating tonic.
Now, at our expense, we want to
ask every such woman in Bedding to
try our cod liver oil preparation, vi
mol, which contains in a highly con-
centrated form all of the medicinal
elements of cod liver oil, but no oil or
grease. 1t is delicious to take, cre-
ates healthy appetite, makes pure
rich, red blood and gives strength and
vigor to every organ Of the body bet
ter than any medicine we have ever
sold in our store, and when woman
is in poor condition IL makes life
worth living. When we say at our
expense we mean that IL the medi-
cine you buy from us and pay for does
not benefit you, we will refund every
cent paid us for it,"
Miss Mary A. Woodward says: 81

world for a weak, tired, worn-out
system. ! was just in that condition
when | commenced to take Vinol. IL

well, strong and better than | have
for years"

TO try Vinol on our guarantee" Con-

In COLLEGE LIFE.
Faculty Might Be Well Employed In
Checking Extrsvaqance.

Faculty Might Be Well Employed In
Checking Extravaganza.
We regret to SAY, as the result OF
many years of observation, that our
American colleges and universities
are the source OF spendthrift habits,
which projected into after life are the
cause of appalling failures and Of the
keenest sorrow to parents whose hopes
are blighted. The habit OF extrava-
gance and luxury has such a hold upon
colleges in this country that the facul-
ties should be charged with new du-
ties in the matter. The livery bills,
tailor bills, expenses for rides. dances
and card parties, the indulgence In
rich and unnecessary food and drink
should be brought under faculty super
vision and control. Parents will be
found readily responsive and willing
to cooperate with the university au-
thorities in keeping a check upon ex-
penditures and limiting them to the
actual amount required for pursuing
studies In comfort. Indulgence in lux
ury and extravaganza should be re-
strained by prompt report from the
college to the students home. In this
way parental influence may follow
knowledge and the student be saved
from the perils of an environment IN
which thousands have been W "cked.
