CANADIAN WAR ON sPARROWs'
The Little Blackguards Are a Pest
to Mankind.

There may be a species of disloy-
atty in the Canadian declaration OF
war on the English sparrows, but
It is to be doubted if anyone, Eng
lish or otherwise, will have the te-
meritv to defend this little black
guard which got into this country
before immigration restrictions be-
came as exacting as they now are.
naturalist of Hamilton, in an ad-
dress in that city recently, declared
that in the stomachs of over 5Oo
sparrows examined by him practical
Iv no insects we're found and the re"
were of a kind more beneficial TO
man than otherwise. These blrds
apparently took little interest IN IN
scots but lived and thrived on grain
and the backdoor offerings of house
wives.
When it is considered that spar
rows not only do not aid man by the
destruction of pests, but actually
drive away other birds which would
he more than willing to make their
living off these pests, the extreme
nature of the sparrow's offense
against society is understood. Rats
and sparrows, declares the toronto
Mail and Empire, are the great enc
mics of Canada, and it suggests d
dominion-wide war on both.
1t is the opinion of this same Ham

much maligned and generally recog-

less a social parasite than the little

AN AGED PHYSICIAN
After Years of Experience Gives the
Following Advice.

Following AuVlces
eff you have anything to do with
medicines at all be pretty sure you
know what you are taking"
A member of the Dawson Drug
CO. says this is a strong point in
favor of the valuable cod liver prep
aration, V1nol. Everything it con-
tains is plainly printed on the LABEL
therefore it is not a patent medi-
cine.
Vinol contains in highly concen-
trated form all the medicinal body
building elements of cod liver Oil,
actually taken from fresh Gods liv-
ers, but with the useless, nauseating
oil eliminated and tonic iron, which
is a needful constituent for the blood,
added.
This is the reason that Vinol ac-
complishes such wonderful results in
curing chronic coughs, colds, bron-
chial and lung troubles, and there is
nothing known to medicine that Will
so quickly build up the rundown,
over-worked, tired and debilitated or
give strength and renewed vitality
to the aged as Vinol.
We can only ask every person IN
Dawson who needs such a medicine
to try Vinol on our offer to return
their money If it fails.
