OLD PEOPLE OF BELL
ING NEED VINOL
II strengthens and vitalizes

With old age comes feebleness and
loss OF power; the organs act more
slowly and less eifectually; the blood
Is thin, sluggish and watery; digestion
is weak and food is not assimilated
as IL used To be.
Vinol repairs worm tissues and
checks the natural decline IL tones
up the digestiv oragns, aids assimil.
alton, makes rich, red blood, and
strengthens every organ in the body.
In this natura manner Vinol replaces
weakness with strength.
Vinol is not patent medicine but
a delicious cod liver preparation
which contains all the medicinal body
building elements of cod liver oil in
a concentrated form, taken from
fresh Gods livers, the useless oil
eliminated and tonic iron added.
1t is because we know so we'll OF
what Vinol is made that we offer to
return money if IL fails to benefit.

 THUsIAsTIC MEETING.
Plans for Conducting Fight at Tusca- loosa Were Considered, But

That the Pythians fin Montgomery are making every effort to bring the Grano Lodge Pythian Temple to Montgomery is evidenced by the large attendance of Pyth.ans at a meeting held Tn the Pythian Castle Hall on Dexter Avenue last evening at o'clock.

Taylor, ana every effort made to have large ana en- thusiastic meeting.
 While there were many in attend ance on the meeting of last night, ana the enthusiasm of those present great. nothing would be given to the pubic relative to the decision reacneu oy 1ne mass meeting as a result of their delib- nration., George H. McCombs was chairman of the meeting, which lasted until after 10 o'clock.
 The Montgomery Pyth;ans are very much in earnest in their efforts to have the Grand Lodge of the State establish the Temple in Montgomery, and to this end will send large delegation of the most forceful men in the Montgomery lodge to- Tuscaloosa to present the claims of Montgomery to that state
 What was done at the beginning last night in the Montgomery Temple can only be conjectured, but 1t IS probable that the delegation to present Mont romerys claim to the Temple at rus caloosa were named, and their plan of battle discussed. In all probability the place for the Temple will De de- cided by the gathering at Tuscaloosa. and the Montgomery Knights will leave no stone unturned in their efforts to make Montgomery the centre or the great organization.

SUES FOR LIFE INSURANCE.
Interesting Case Is On Trial Tn Hunts-
 vflle.

vftAe.F
 Huntsville. April 14.--tSpecial)-- The case of Leah Moore against the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Com pany, of New York is on trial in the United States Court.
 The plaintiff claims $2,500 ..liich is alleged to be- due on a. policy of in- surance on the life of John Seay, a negro. deceased. f,-.
 The questions at, issue are interest ing and unusual. The policy was is- sued in 1893 and four full payments of the annual premiums were made on 1t and thereafter for several years the premiums were paid by crediting thereto the dividends accruing upon the policy and by the insured borrow ing. under the loan provisions of the contract. money enough to make up the deficiencys between the dividends and the full amount of the prem ium. f "
 For some years before the death of the insured, in. 1908. no premiums were paid The plaintiffs in the suit contend that the premiums already paid, according to the claims of the policy. automatically extended the paid up value of the policy to. a time be- yond the date of the death of the insured.
 The insurance company, on the other hand contends that the money bor- rowed under the policy to pay the premiums had entirely exhausted its loan value and that therefore. there existed no consideration upon which the exension clauses could operate be- yond a time one year previous to the death of the insured.
