4 Prominent Educator Declares Vinol is the Best Cod Liver Preparation

There has been a great deal of dis cussion in Montgomery regarding the merits of cod liver oil preparation, and whether or not cod liver oil and emul- sions that upset the stomach have any medicinal virtue; therefore, the follow ing letter from M. A. Cassidy. superin- tendent of schools, Lexington, Ky, will be read with interest:
 II am pleased to state that after having used and tested the different cod liver oil preparations on the mar ket. I find vinoI to be far superior to them all.
 "vinol built up my system. strength ened my nerves and made a new man of me, and I heartily endorse 1t as the most efficacious and agreeable cod liver oil preparation on the market"
 Our local druggist. MT. E. c. Fowler. when asked his opinion in regard to Vinol, replied: We have never sold anything in our store better than vinol to create strength, cure stomach troubles, chronic coughs. cold, burn chitis and incipient consumption, or to make growing children robust and give strength and vfgor ct the aged. Tt is for this reason that we offer to return to money in every case where 1t fails" E. c. Fowler, Druggist NOTE-While we are sole agents for Vinol in Montgomery. it is now for sale at the leading drug store in nearly ev- cry town and city in the country. Look for the Vinol agency in your town.

 Dear old Bill:--Your inquire What is the real sftuationT can answer you with two anecdotes, which sounds as if I were going to make an after- dinner speech. But don't fear; l am no Depew. even if I am open to suo- sidy, as I told the man oehind the par the other night
 Well. one of the stories is about old Dr. Pepsin whom you knew. I suppose, and remember I know. as always tell my constituents who live on the county line. Tn my first campaign. which l thought of great pith and moment, l asked the Doctor what was the atti- tude of his son, Gene Pepsin. towards my candidacy.
 Now you know. Bill, I can speak French like a sun-of-a-gun. but blast me if I can understand word or it' and that's the way with the Doctor and polysyllables That's why he an- swered:
 "Attitude? My Eugene has no atti- tude-he Is as straight as die"
 We'll there is no situation here Saying which. shall tell you what the situation is--that's an irritating habit that alP political speakers have. That same Gene Pepsin was spark ing round Rebie Ciphers, ana Tn those days, old man Ed Ciphers had more dollars than & fish has scales, ana somebody asked him If he were going to get married when he got rich, and Gene, who accidentally had moments of lucidity in the dark of the moon. said no. he was going to get rich when he got married. That's the situation; doubting Thomas--not the ono that was disappointed about appointing the committees-gets up and asks: 'Ts the Governor a-going to sign all these bills after we pass m?' ''No, simple friend" I answers we are a-going to pass 'em after he signs | 'em" Mir. Conner must get credit for one | thing-he's sticking to his platform | He is regulating the railroads. He l asked for a Legislature that would stand by him and he got 1t. Every | thing he says goes But now and again l 1t goes too fast or too far, and every thing has to turn round and come back. 1 just like false start on the track. That two and one-half cent rate bill went through the Senate as easy and silent as a schooner slipping along
 in an off-shore breeze. If anybody
