on being told of the conclusion of
peace at Portsmouth, said:
Il am exceedingly glad to hear the

war | heartily rejoice to hear that
he has been successful
Oyster Bay, L. l., Aug. 30.-Presi.
dent Roosevelt, in his library at Saga
more Hill, received the news that the
peace ENJOYS at Portsmouth had
reached an agreement. He was en-
gagged at the very moment on some
matters with Secretary Loeb regard
ing the peace negotiations. The first
intimation of the agreement came to
him through the Associated Press in
the form OF a bulletin announcing the
ENJOYS had agreed on all points which
hitherto had been the subject of diff
ference. While the president had been
hopeful that such an agreement would
be reached he was surprised that it
had come so soon. His belief had
been that the agreement, if made at
all. would not be made probably for a
day or two. He expressed his graft
tude that peaceful solution Of the
differences had been reached. He ex-
cused himself, however, from making
any statement, formal in its nature,
regarding the action of the conferees.

job printing houses here during the
day renewed their canvass of firms in
the Chicago Typothetae, threatening
to call out union printers wherever

ing houses are said to be converting
upper rooms of their buildings into
barracks for strike breakers The en-
ployers, according to Secretary Hamm

and bitter fight. President James

ical union has telegraphed in response
to the request of the Chicago branch
Of the union for a general strike
against the Typothetae in all cities of
the Middle West that he will be in
Chicago i'll few days.
Another shop employing twenty
three union printers has been added

OLD AGE.
Our Local Druggist Tells People Of
Americus How to Ward 1T Off.

Americus How to Ward 1T Off.
Some people at fifty call themselves
old, and really appear so, while others
at seventy seem active, vigorous and
young.
A reporter of the Times Recorder
happened in the store of j. G. Dodson,
our local druggist, the other evening,
and this subject was brought up, said
Mr.. Dodson. 1T is fact and we see
itlllustrated every day right here in
Americus. 1t is not years; ola age does
not begin at any set time, but it is loss
OF vital force that makes person old.
A severe sickness, weakened digestion,
thin blood, or poor circulation soon
starts vitality on the wane and then a
person rapidly ages.
''On the other hand" continued Mr.
Dodsou. .'if the people of Americus
only knew how our cod liver prepare
ton, Vinol, lwards off old age, we would
not have clerks enough in our store to
supply the demand.
'You see, Vinol contains all the vi
tality making, body building principles
of cod liver oil, but without drop of
the system. clogging oil, 1t strengthens
digestive organs. makes rich. red blood,
repairs worn tissues, checks the natur-
al decline and replaces weakness with
strength.
One good customer of Vinol, who is
seventy eight years of age, says he
would not take $1,000 for the good it
has done him, aud we wish every aged
person in Americas would try Vinol on
our guarantee to return money il it
fails, J. G. Dodson, Druggist.
