WHAT IS VINOL?
II Represents Twenty Years Work
Of Two Eminent Chemists.

II Represents Twenty Years Work
of Two Eminent Chemists.
After twenty years of study two
eminent French chemists discovered
method by which the alkaloids or
medicinal elements Of the Gods liver
might be separated from the useless
oil or grease, retaining all the good
of cod liver oil and dispensing with
the bad, as the oil has no medicinal
value. These medicinal elements
blended with tonic iron and mild
medicinal wine-make Vinol.
Vinol is not a secret medicine, as
its ingredients are printed on every
bottle, and in all cases where the
healing, strengthening influence Of
cod liver oil is needed Vinol will give
better results, for it contains all the
curative medicinal properties OF cod
liver oil, but without the oil, and It
Is easily assimilated and acceptable
to the weakest stomach.
For all run-dwn, weakened condi-
tions. and to cure chronic coughs,
colds and bronchial troubles, Vinol IS
unexcelled. We sell It always with
the unexceled. We sell It always will

do all we claim for it, we will refund

FOSTER HITS
AT ROOSEVELT
Ex-SeCretary Scores the Col
Onel'S Attitude Towards
Arbitration
EXPECTED THAT He WILL
FALL In LINE FOR PEACE
By The United Press.

by Inc Julleu fIeSs.
LAKE MOHONK. N. Y, May 25.-
mo man in public life today has
shown such an erratic and inconsist-
ent course toward international ,arbi-
'tration as Theodore Roosevelt, whose
fulminations on the suggested Anglo
American arbitration treaty have ap-
peared in the public press" declared
former Secretary Of State John W..
Foster, addressing the Lake Mohonk
Peace Conference today. His early
public career was marked by a strong
hostility to arbitration. In 1885 he
attacked President Harrison for sub
hitting the Bering Sea matter to arbi-
tration. But when he assumed the
responsibilities of the presidency Il
was he who sent the first case to the
Hague Court Of Arbitration and in
vited the nations in hostile array to
resort to the same court.
He proposed TO settle the Alaskan
boundary dispute by sending tire
American army to occupy and hold
the territory by force, but finally
yielded to the pacific advice of Sec
retary Hay"
Judge Foster then reviewed the
treaties submitted by Colonel Roose-
velt as President, and said:
After he has played to his hearts
content with his favorite terms
hypocrisy, 'eowardice,' bad faith,
etc, we may expect this erratic but
patriotic citizen to fall into line with
the great march toward international
peace and give his support to the
great measure which most ennoblei
the administration Of his successor" "
