FEEBLE OLD PEOPLE
Are Much Benefited by the Use of vlnol

Are Much Benefited by the Use Of Vlnol.
Hundreds of old people right here in
Brattleboro need just such strength
maker and body-bulder as our delicious
cod liver preparation, Vinol; and we
simply cannot understand why they will
continue to drag out a haf-dead guar
antee Vinol will invigorate every organ
IN the body, stop the natural decline and
make them we'll vigorous and strong.
If you want to know how an aged
feeble, discouraged man or woman may
be made active, cheerful and vigorous,
read this letter:
Mrs. Catherine Therer, of Albany, N.
Y, writes six months ago I felt that
was broken down by age, and l was DOOM
ed to the weak and feeble condition of
old people, The slightest exertion tired
me, and l had no strength. My daughter
brought me a bottle of Vinol I soon felt an
Improvement; continued its use, and
am now well, cheerful and stronger than
have been for years; in fact feel ten
years younger"
Ninol Is not a stimulant which reacts
on the system, but it is a genuine cod
liver and iron tonic which in a natural
manner makes rich red blood and re-
places weakness with strength, We wish
every old person in Brattleboro would try
Ninol on our offer to return money if it
fai's' George f, Greene, druggist.
Note.-While We are sole agent for
Ninol in Brattleboro, it is now for sale at
the leading drug store in nearly every
town and city in the country. Look for
the Vinol agency in your town.

SECURING OIL LAND.
Beaumont Oil Company Buying on

o. c. Johnson, representing the
Beaumont, Texas, Oil company, which
is owned by the Standard Oil COM
pany is taking leases on all the
property he can secure on the flat
west of the city says the Weiser
American.
He states that he has secured about
$500 acres, aad is endeavoring to Sc
cure more. BY the terms of the lease
drilling is to be begun by April l..
Mr. Johnson states that his company
will put down % or 80 wells, and that
machinery and drilling outfits will be
shipped here in the near future in or
der to get started in the spring.
If the object of the Standard ON
company is to develope the district,
and demonstrate whether there Is oil
here or not, they should be welcom-
ed, but usually the policy of that cor
poration is to get hold of the land
and then close 1t down in order to
curtail the production.
Evidently they must have conf
dence in the field, that there is some
thing here, or they would not go even
to the expense that they already have.

OF the 8O,51S,4OO Acres in the State

Aside in Forest Reserves-Forestry
Bureau Pays Oregon Her Share of
Income from Reserves.

OF the 60;51S,400 acres of forest
area of the state of oregon, 16,463,535
acres have been embraced in nation
al forest reserves, according to a
statement received by Secretary of
State F. w. Benson at Salem from
the United States forestry bureau,
which will form the basis for appor-
tion.ng the states share of the reve-
nues received by the government from
the rentals leases, sales of timber,
&c, from the forest reserves of the
state.
Jhe counties in which forest re-
se' YES are located get this apportion-
ment in accordance with the provis-
iors OF the act OF the legislature of
1907.
OF the total forest reserve area,
S.G5S.?t0 acres had been set aside in
reserves up to June 80, 1906. and this
amount was nearly doub.i at The
close Of the fiscal year 1907 during
wh:th time 7,765.2S5 acres were en-
braoe,i in the reserves.
Under the act enacted by the hSth
congress- which appropriated $780,
600 to be expended by the secretary
of agriculture for proper and econom-
ical administration, protection and de-
velopment of the national forests,
the power of creating forest reserves
was taken out OF the hands of the
president and is now vested solely in
congress.
Ten per cent OF the revenues COL
lected by the forestry bureau for the
rental of forests inside of national
reserves for grazing, etc. under the
provisions of the act of congress au-
thorlzins the creation of forest rs.
serves, is paid over to the state in
whlc!; the reserve is located
Hereof re this money has been
turned into the general fund of tho
state, but the last legislature passed
an act providing that It be dlstribut-
ed among the several counties in
which forest reserves are located, the
part of the sum received by each
county to bear the same proportion
to the total area of forest reserves In
the state.
All money so received by the coun-
ties is to be divided in equal parts be-
tween the school fund and road fund !
of such counties, and expended for
those purposes. September 16 of this
