OLD PEOPLE OF SKOWHEGAN
NEED VINOL.
1t Strengthens and Vitalizes.

With old age comes feebleness and
loss of power; the organs act more
slowly and less effectually; the blood
is thin, sluggish and watery; diges-
ton is weak and food is not assmilat-
ed as it used to be.
Vinol repairs worn tissues and
checks the natural decline. 1t tones
up the digestive organs, aids assimi
lation, makes rich, red blood, and
strengthens every organ i'll the body.
In this natural manner Ninol 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 well of
what Ninol is made that we offer to
return money if it fails to benefit. f.

We present on our first page this
week picture of one of the leading
Republican candidates for governor
along with an estimate of him repro
duced from an exchange. 1t is well
for us all TO know the truth about the
different candidates The fact is, Mr..
Haines is man of such ability and
personal integrity that he would
make an excellent governor. He
is thorough going temperance man,
both as to personal habits and in his
attitude toward prohibition. He is
also wise on the matter of resubmis
sion. The resubmission cry is dying
out, but Mr.. Haines' position that the
Republican party cannot afford to
seem to deny the people the right Of
expression on the matter is incon-
trovertible. The legislature will it
self take care of the issue when the
question becomes acute, if ever, but
the party can and ought to take the
position of confidence in the people.
The legislature will not vote for re
submission. We elect our Legislators
and we do not pass the issue from our
hands when in convention we resolve
that if the people in fair numbers de-
mand resubmission we shall not stand
against it. Mr.. Haines' position is
direct, dignified and honest

oLD-AGE PENSIONS.

The question of old-age pensions is
| now to the front in England. The new
Premier has boldly proposed that an
| experiment be made, to commence in
1909. To begin with a pension of Ave
shillings week Q.25) is to be given to
all worthy poor over seventy years of
age. whose weekly income Is not more
than $3.50. Mr. Asquith reckons that
tho number of such pensioners will not
exceed 100000, and that the total year
ly cost will not be more than $50. 0O0, coo.
And this expense can be met. according
to Mr. Asquith's budget. without an in
crease In the taxation. On the con-
trary his plan contemplates the abolition
of certain taXes-on sugar and marine
insurance policies-the reduction in the
national debt the creation of a surplus
Of S30.000.000 for old-age pepsions-all
without new imposts
And yet, there are objections, it
seems, To old-age pensions. How are
the administrative details to be pro-
vided for? What will the effect be upon
the worltingmen? What system of ma
tional finance can be derived to meet
the enormous cost of a pension system
Of 80 universal application? These
questions indicate the nature of the OPP
position.
As for the principle itself, when It is
| admitted to he right and proper to PEN
sion public servants, there can be no
serious doubt as to the propriety of
| extending that form of protection
| against need in the declining years to
| others. a laborcr who has risked his
| life In any line of industry and spent
years IN the production of wealth for
| the benefit Of his country. Is entitled to
! some consideration. And so is the wo-
man who has reared children and
| worked hard for them, but perhaps
| finds himself dependent on others in her
| old age She ought to be taken caro- of
! In some other way than that provided
| by the poorhouse. There can be no
| question as to the correctness OF the
| old-age pension system. A laborcr de-
serves as much consideration az an
| ofTice-holdcr. or a warrior. But is it
| practicable?
! IT has proved so in Germany France
| and Belgium. whore the men themselves
| and their employers contribute towards
II pension fund, which the government
supplements 50 as to make up the fixed
weekly allowance in old age, II has
been proved practicable In New Zea-
| land ana Denmark, where the govern
mout undertakes the entire responsible
lty. why should It prove a failure In
| England?
