VINOL SETTLES
The Cod Liver Oil Question.

No one will dispute the curative and
s,rength-creating value of cod liver
oil For centuries it has been rec
ognized as the grandest OF all heailng
and bodybuilding agents for wasted
human stregnth and vitality.
Yet. owing to the heavy, greasy oil
which envelopes the medicinal ele-
ments. and which has no value either
as a food or medicine, many patients
weakened by disease cannot digest IL
either in its raw form or an emulsion,
and others will not take 1t on account
of its disagreeable odor and taste
consequently lts value 1t lost.
Now, the process discovered by TWO
eminent French chemists-Morgues
and Gautier-should interest every
person in Pendleton, for all OF the
tonic. bodybuilding and curative eie-
ments of cod liver oil are now separ-
ated from the greasy, useless OIL ana
given to the people in delicious Vinoi'
For this reason It is fast superseding
old-fashioned cod liver oil and emul-
sions.
As a body-builder and strength
creator for old people, weak women
delicate children, and after sickness

ing druggists of the United States as
the best.

Umatilla county is vitality interested
in the report of Secretary Metcalf
of the department of commerce and
labor for the reason that this county
has contributed almost 5000 carloads
of flour and 100000 bushels of
wheat to swell the export trade of the
United States during the past year.
The flour sent from this county has
gone principally to the orient and the
wheat to every market OF the world.
Secretary Metcalf gives the follow
ing comprehensive summary of the
export and import business of the
United states during the past year:
The foreign commerce of the year
was greater in both imports and ex-
ports than in any preceding year, as
was also the trade with the non-con-
tiguous territories. Imports, which
had never reached the $1,000, 900, ,OOO-
mark until 1908. amounted to $780,
100000 per month.
OF the increase of s10s,o0O,000 in
imports, s25, 100000 was in manufac-
turers' crude materials, $42, 100000
in manufactures for further use in
manufacturing, and s55,0OO,00O in
finished manufactures, while the
foodstuffs groups show a decrease OF
over $4,000, 900, due chiefly to a re-
duction in the quantity OF coffee i'm
ported and a fall in the price of su-
gar, of which the iniportations in
creased about SO0.000,00o pounds in
quantity. but decreased over $l2,OOO,-
600 in value.
The exports which first touched the
$1,000, 600, ,000-mark in 1892, and ex-
ceeded s1.5OO,OOO,OOO in 1905, were
in 1905 s1.743,S64,5OO. an increase of
1925. 100000 over 1905.
This increase was distributed among
all the great groups, the increase in
foodstuffs being 12S,O00,00O, crude
material for manufacturing $2S,OOO,-
900 and manufactures S74,OOO,OOO.
Manufactures formed 40 per cent of
the exports and manufacturers crude
materials "a per cent of the imports.
The increase in imports during the
year occurred chiefly in the trade with
Europe. North America and Asia; the
increase in imports from Europe oe-
ing s93. 1000, 900, from North America
$4,000. 900 and from Asia S1S,OOO,-
600. while imports from South Amer
lea showed a decrease of s1O,OOO,OOO,
due mainly to a reduction in the guam
tity of breadstuffs and provisions
available for foreign markets TO
North America s4S,00O,OOO and 10
South America s1S,250,0O0.
The exports to Asia show decrease
of $4,000, 900, occurring chiefly in the
trade with Japan and China. The ex-
ports to Japan during the year were
$4,000, 900 less than those of 1905
and those TO China s1O,O00,OO0 less.
