VALUABLE INFORMATION.
Something Every Person IN Union
City ghould Know.

Nearly three hundred years have
passed since the medicinal, curative
elements known to exist Ia the cod Is
liver were first discovered and recog-
nized by physicians as d specific In
the treatment Of pulmonary and vast
Ing diseases, and as body-bullder
and strength creator; but how to ex-
tract those medicinal elements from
the oil Ia which they were enveloped,
has been the study Of some Of the
most expert chemists Ia the world.
Now, the process discovered by two
eminent French chemists, Morgues
and Gautier, should interest every
person In Union City. BY an extrac-
tive concentrating process they dis
covered way to separate the tonic,
body building and curative elements
contained In fresh Gods llvers from
their useless oil. BY this process
Ninol is made.
Because Vinol contains no oil, but
embodies all the medicinal value of
cod liver oil. with tonic iron added.
It IL fast superseding old.fashloned
cod liver oil and emulslons. AS body
builder and strength creator for old
people. weak women, delicate chill
dren, after sickness, and for all pull
n0nary troubles, nothing has been
known TO excel Vinol. We ask rTnion
City people 10 try Vlnol on our offer
10 return their money II 1t does not
give satisfaction. The Red Cross

been in operation for several days

to the union and are disposed to
hold their crops for better prices,
or until such time as they are salts
fed that the price is all they can
expect. The present prospects for

days inundation. Rain has fallen in
torrents in the foothills and at o'clock
this evening the river at Linden was
reported TO be within one foot Of the
mark when IL broke over and descended

flood was still rising at that hour and
there seems TO be no chance for this
city to escape.
The street department has ordered
all merchants and business men 10 dis
continue pumping out cellars. 1t is
considered useless at this time. The
waters OF the San Joaquin are at such
a high stage that in all OF the chan
nels passing through and into Stockton
they have begun TO back UP into the
streets. The police have already been
called upon to rescue families from in
rushing water.
The island districts are now expert
encing the crisis The transportation
companies have discontinued regular
service and all boats are doing relief
work. A number OF Italians and Mexi-
cans are reported to be in danger OF
drowning on the islands and attempts
are being made TO rescue them. Sew

them today, but the water in the San
