Vinol is as delicious as a fresh
orange, and as soothing as can be
to the weak, irritable stomach. 1t
coaxes back lost appetite, improves
digestion and creates strength
throughout the whole system. We
strongly recommend Vinol to all
who are weak and rundown from
any cause,-particularly to delicate
women and children, old people
and for those who have pulmonary
toubles. Money back if you try
Vinol and are not satisfied.

son streets, which the club house com
n1ittee OF the federation had in mind
for a. club house. had been sold to the
local Christian Scientist organization,
was a disappointment to the commit
tee and others interested in the club
house project. they are not discourag-
ed and the plan IS far from being
abau doned. Other sites are under con-
sfderation and the interest in the club
house, so says Mrs Knowles. the chair
man of the committee is greater
than before. She IS constantly receiv-
ing communications from people who
want to subscribe for stock or who
have helpful suggestions to make or
other encouragement to offer Among
the sites which have been offered and
are being considered are a number of
residence properties The committee
has, however. nothing to suggest at
present IN the way of a site.
