DELICATE CHILDREN
Advice to Bedding NJ theirs who Hav.
Delicate Children.


If we could only make all fathers
and mothers in Bedding regard what
we say there would be fewer sickley,
delicate children on our streets
Rapidly growing children need a
great deal of vitality. They grow
fast, play hard and work too hard at
school, and many such children are
tired. thin, pale and worn when they
ought to be robust and rosy.
Every rundown, growing child in
Belding should take Vinol, our deli
cious cod liver preparation without
oil. 1t requires almost no digestion
at all and cannot upset delicate,
weakened stOmachs as do old fashion
ed cod liver oil and emulsions. Vinol
also contains peptonate of iron.
1t strengthens the digestive organs
makes new flesh and muscle tissue
strong bone structure and pure, rich,
red blood. Vino fills out hollow
cheeks and makes thin little legs and
arms plump and round.
Said Mr. Cornell of Cornell Bros.
our local druggist: ave cannot rec
ommend VinOl too highly for puny,
weak and ailing children, to build W
the over-worked, tired and debilitateC
or to give renewed vitality to the
aged, and we cheerfully refund the
money In every case where it fails
Cornell Bros, Druggists.
NoTE-While we are sole agents fol
Vinol in Relding. ii is now for sale a.
the leading drug store in nearly every
town and cities in the country. Look
for the Vinol agency in your town.

In his letter OF acceptance he rendered
his sincere thanks to that honorable body
the convention, for the high honor con-
ferred without any solicitation whatever
on his part. He expects the hearty Co
operation Of all socialists and sympathzing
friends who believe in lettering the con-
dition of mankind and womankind in
general.
He maintains that ever since it was
learned that profit ed to power human
slavery has en- practiced by TIE ruling
classes until the toing slave learns that
the producer of wealth always takes rank
above the consumer. The holy injunction
is, an the sweat OF thy face thou shalt
eat bread" but nowhere in Gods law is
t written that thou shalt eat bread gath
cred by the sweat Of thy neighbor face
Cooperation is natures law of harmony
and without that law of cooperation ma
ture would be failure Man, though
the highest work Of nature and nature S
God and made in the image of God. Gre
ated little lower than the angels, is ever
setting snares and pitfalls to catch his
unwary brother, that he may receive a
profit from his downfall and misfortune.
The Grand Rapids Herald had the follow
ing to say Of his candidacy:
"JohnJ Spriggs, the Socialist candidate
for congress from the Fifth congressional
district, has resided in Belding 80 years
Heals 56'years old and besides being a
paper hanger and painter is trapper ano
hunter. He goes north every fall and
winter and If there is a badger, coon.
muskrat or a skunk within radius Of 20
miles Of his camp he will certainly get rim
because he knows just how TO set trap
in an entieing way.
Mr. Spriggs has been honored with the
nomination 70 every office in the list ex-
cept president Of the United States. A
few years ago he ran for the state senate
from this district on the Socialist ticket.
He is an ardent admirer of the Socialist
paper, the Appeal to Reason. anc can
make a stronger appeal for Socialism than
that organ. He will conduct his own
campaign. speaking often from the step
ladder be uses in his paperhanging and
painting business
