LIFE NOT WORTH LIVING

is the way Miss Alta Abel of West
Baden, Ind, summed up her existence
after having sought in vain for health.
She writes: 81 was complete wreck
always tired, worn out and nervous.
I had to spend about one-third of my
time in bed.
"Vinol, your delicious cod liver and
iron tonic, was recommended, and l
can truly say it has done me more
good than all the medicine I ever took
in my life That nervous and tired
feeling is all gone. I have gained in
health, flesh and strength, until feel
like another person" eve guarantee
this testimonial to be genuine.)
What Vinol did for Miss Abel, we
know it will do for every nervous.
rundown, overworked. tired, thin and
discouraged woman in this vicinity.
Try a bottle of Vinol with the I'M
derstanding that your money will be
returned If it does not help you.

cortcd to the office and an cXamina-
ton disclosed. it is said, that he had
in his possession 1925, among which

Oyster Cargoes Sold
Out In Hurry Today

The cargoes of the five oyster schoon-
ers which were tugged through the ice
from Chesapeake Bay points to the
Eleventh street wharf were eagerly
snapped up by local buyers at from a
dollar to a dollar and a quarter a bushel.
and the demand continues brisk.
There are some shucked oysters being
received in tins from Annapolis and
West River points, but the supply is far
below normal. and will continue SO un-
til the Potomac is free from it's crust
of ice. A few of the oyster shucking
establishments along the wharf have
been partially opened to care for the
few bivalves to be had. but trade lags
as the dealers mark time and wait for
the warmer weather Of spring.
The supply of fresh fish Is entirely
cut off, although the frozep varieties are
received In considerable quantities.
Prices are very high on the wholesale
markets, and are having their effect on
the prices asked by retailers. The fish,
cries on the Jersey coast are shut down
until spring, and the supply of fish will
continue to run short.
Wholesale prices on some varieties Of
frozen fish run about as follows:
Smelts, II cents; halibut, u cents
striped bass, 10 cents: sea bass. &C, and
trout cents per pound.
