With old age comes feebleuess and loss of power; the organs act more slowly and less effectually; the blood is thin. sluggish and watery; digestion Is weak and food Is not assimilated as it used to be.
 VinoI repairs worn tissues and checks the natural dec :llne. It tones up the digestive organs. aids assimilation. makes rich. red blood. and strengthens every organ in the body. Tn this nat ural manner Vinol replaces weakness with strength.

 The skiff in which were Messrs. Bliss and Daniels was overturned as 1t attempted to round the ferry boat. The one-armed negro rushed to ms own skiff at the side of the ferry boat un1eashed 1t and with his one arm pad dled quickly to the young men strus- gling in the water. By his efforts he saved the life of Mir. Bliss. He drag ged him from the water as he lost con sciousness. If he had had any help or If he had a minutes more time ne would have perhaps saved both young men. If he had delayed his coming an other minute. Mir. Bliss would have zone down with his friend.
 It is this brave conduct of the negro that Mrs. Knox thinks should be re- warded.

ASQUITH'S CABINET
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF NEW
 ENGLISH MINISTRY.
Political Leap of LIoyd-GeorEe Ia sur- prlsing-FOrner Premier Camp beII-Bannerman Continues
 Very HI.

London, April 12-offical announce ment was made tonight of the new cabinet appointments
 They are identical with the forecast made by The Daily Chronicle a few days ago and announced in these dis patches as follows: Herbert H. As- quith, Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury; David Lloyd George, Chancellor of the Exchequer: Lord Tweedmouth, President of the Council; Earl of Crewe, Secretary of State for the Colonies; Reginald McKenna, First Lord of the Admiralty; Winston Spen- cer Churchill, President of the Board of Trade; Walter Runciman. Presid snt of the P1ard of EdUcltIon.
 Iohh Morley. Secretary of State fos India and Sir Henry H. Fowler Chan cellor of the Duchy of Lancaster have been made peers, but retain their present offices.
 Col. J. E. Seeley has been appointed under secretary for the colonies; Lord Lucas. Parliamentary Secretary. war office; E. D. Ackland. Financial Secre- tary of War; Thomas R. Buchanan. Secretary O" the India office.
 Having been fully anticipated in well informed political quarters, the few changes which Mir. Asquith made in she old Campbell Zimmerman cabinet caused no surprise.
 There as been some speculation as to wh sth ,c the new Premier would think it we'll to dissolve Parliament and he would have been fully justified in assuming the government under somewhat unusual circumstances, In taking tl,e course on appealing to the country for a new mandate He has, however. evidently decided otherwise.
 His aim in composing the cabinet seemingly has been to avoid as far as possible any bye-election in the consti- tuencies where the faith in Liberalism is wavering. The changes as an nounoed will only necessitate four bye elections, of three, heretofore held respectively by John Morley. Walter Runciman and Sir Henry Fowler may be considered quite safe. Winston Spencer Churchills election in Man chester. however. Is considered doubt full.
 Now that it is officially confirmed perhaps the most striking featur. in the new cabinet is the leap Of David Lloyd George to the front rank in political life. As a second minister in rank he becomes the Deputy leader of the House of Commons or the prospec- tive heir to the premiership, should any unforeseen accident leave that office vacant.
 The condition of Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman is reported by his phy- sicians as being unchanged.
