HOW OLD PEOPLE
May Prolong Their Lives

At an advanced age waste is more
rapid than repair. The organs act
more slowly and less effectually than
in youth. The circulation is poor, the
blood thin and watery, the appetite
poor and digestion weak.
We want to say to every aged per.
son in this vicinity that Vinol. our de-
licious cod liver and iron tonic with
out OLD will prolong life. It creates
an appetite, aids digestion and makes
good blood. In this natural manner
Vinol retards waste and replaces
weakness with strength, giving new
life to the worn system
If people in this vicinity only real
lied how Vinol invigorates old people
we would not be able to supply the
demand
Try a bottle Of Vinol with the un-
derstanding that your money will be
returned if it does not help you.

GERMANY UPHOLDS
 ANTI-JESUiT LAW
Bavarian Clericals in Vain Try te Modify Its Enforcement After
 Their Victory at PoIls.

Berlin. Nov. 2s1The Bundesrath has reached decision regarding the ad- mintstraticn of the anti-Jesuit law. which, in effect, holds that Bavaria's s recent course was illegal.
 One of the first acts of the new Ba- varian Ministry on coming into power in consequence of the victory of the Clerical Centre party in the Bavarian elections was the issuance of a decree modifying the severity of enforcem ent of the long standing imperial legiela- tion against the Jesuit order in Ger many. and in the resulting controver- sy 1t was brought out that an inter pretation'' of the imperial law not at all unfavorable to the Jesuit order had been issued in Prussia.
 By the Bundesrath's ruling, the Jes- uits will be permitted to hold family masses in the home. administer ex- treme unction and deliver scientific address. which. however. must not touch on religion, but they are per mitted no further activities.
 A secret order issued last spring by the President of the Bavarfan Coun- ctl of Ministers permitted the holding of conferences in the churches, at which the sacraments might be ad- mfnistered.

Dear Sis:-If all people had the virt- ues other people think they have, this world would be a paradise.

 Of course, I told them how absurd it Was-showed how little it cost in time, and money, and effort-taat re- suits were as certain as sunrise-told them it wouldn't hurt them a bit or turn their stomac1ls like some other some of them to do themselves a good turn.

 Mir. Wilson didn't have his family here on previous visits and he was not so prominent a parsonage, but the people of Bermuda took him at his word when he said he came for rest, pure and simple. and they have not bothered him in the least. Tn fact the social diversions have been just enough to prevent his stay here from becoming monotonous. Everything social. however. is of the most casual and quiet nature and the governor fees particular freedom from really 1ndufging in the functions if he is not SO disposed
