Live Stock Values Appreciated.

On Novmber II and lG, the Maine
breeders are planning two days
wide-awake meeting at Waterville.
The Board of Trade has very kinds
offered the use of the city council
rooms for this meeting and in many
ways are planning to make things
convenient for those who attend. The
program for this meeting will include
reports of the conditions of the vari-
Gus live stock in the State, each re
port to be given by a man who is
actually breeding this stock.
George NJ Rommel Chief of the Di-
vision of Animal Husbandry, I. s.
Department of Agriculture, will give
lecture on Raising Draft Horses
in Maine" Mr.. Rommel has been in
the State during the past summer for
the express purpose of studying Maine
SO that he would be familiar with To-
cal conditions in order that he might
be better able to present his sub
ject
Other speakers will include men
prominent in live stock work in the
State. The University of Maine will
be represented by p. A. Campbell
Professor of Animal Husbandry, Leon
s. Merrill, Director of Extension
Work, and DR. F. l.. Russell Profess
sor of Veterinary Science and Bac-
teriology.
There are many phases Of live stock
work which require thoroughly or
ganized attention in order to promote
their welfare. Many matters need to
be brought before the coming legisla-
ture in order to improve and protect
live stock interests. On this account
it will be necessary to transact a
large amount of business at this meet
ing.
Secretary r. w. Redman, State
Dairy Instructor will issue a detailed
program in the course of a few days.
Men and women who are interested
in live stock work are planning to at
tend the meeting and make it one of
the most successful of its kind ever
held in Maine.

How Old People
May ProlOng
Their Lives

AT advanced age the organs act
more slowly than in youth. Circu-
lation becomes poor, blood thin and
watery, appetite ftful, and diges-
ton weak. This condition leaves
the system open to disease such as
Coughs, Colds, Grippe, Pneumo-
uia, Rheumatism, etc.
VINOL is the greatest health
creator and body builder we know
of for old people, as it supplies
the very elements needed to re-
build wasting tissue and replace
weakness with strength.
HERE is THE PROOF
A case is recorded In Albany, N. Y, of
woman who felt she WAS breaking
down by age and was doomed to the
weak and feeble condition of old people.
She had no strength and the slightest ex-
ertion tired her, but NINOL made her
well and strong, and she states that she
feels ten years younger than she did be-
fore taking VINOL.
We ask every aged person in
this neighborhood to try bottle
of VINOL with the understanding
that we will return their money if it
does not prove beneficial.
