CHEERFUL NEWS
For Feeble Old People.

AS one grows old the waste of the
system becomes more rapid than re-
pair, the organs act more slowly and
less effectually than in youth. the cir
culation is poor, the blood thin and
digestion weak.
yinol, our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic without oil is the ideal
strengthened and body builder for old
folks, for it contains the very elements
needed to rebuild wasting tissues and
replace weakness with strength Vinol
also fortifies the system against colds
and thus prevents pneumonia.
grand niece of Alexander Hamilton
over eighty years of age once remark
ed: .Vinol is a god to old people.
Thanks to Vinol | have hearty appe-
title, sleep soundly, feel active and well.
It is the finest tonic and strength crea-
tor | have ever used.
If Vinol fails to build up the feeble
old people, and rceate strength we will
return your money. L. Harry Wefs

 The financial end Of this pIoposi ton:
 An ice breaker means a great deal to Nome and Seward Peninsula, 1t means direct communications with the outside the year round and will tend to open up this part of Alaska 10 d greater extent than heretofore
 The United States mall contract will amount to approximately s1o0.ooo per annum.
 Freight can be landed here in Nome considerably cheaper than during the summer. no lighterage and no wharf age and no storms to contend with. the goods can be dumped from the vessel onto horse sleds on the Ice and hauled direct to their destination over the winter trails much cheaper than over muddy trails in the summer
 The population of Nome and Seward Peninsula can be supplied with fresh vegetables butter eggs. meal. etc. the year round. and the merchants would not have to lay up the large stocks In the fall of each year. thereby say Ing interest on the money and de preciation of perishable goods
 The banks and quartz mills will be able to send out their bullion any time during the year and get quick returns thus saving them the interest on such dead capital now having to lie idle in the vaults for mp to seven months of the year awaiting the steamers in the spring lt will only be matter of few years when stamp mills will become very com non all over the peninsula. and fur 'her encouraging prospects and de Dosits have been found of numerous different valuable minerals and met als such as tin. antimony. copper graphite. galena. bismuth. etc. which win form another source oi rreigh; revenue for the return trip
 Freight charges will ranee between $50 10 $40 per ton.
 Passengers and tourists will be travelling more or less all the time, both on business and for pleasure, as a novel trip, and tickets would range from sl5O to s2OO. single fare. Lots more people would winter on the pen insula if they knew that they could secure fresh vegetables all winter and also knew that they could go outside to the states at any time without re- sorting 10 the trying ordeal of trip over the trails after a dog feam.
 Should the freight and passenger traffic increase above the capacity Of the ice breaker fin the early spring then such steamers as the Corwin Portland, Nome City and Jeannie could either be chartered or pay certain royalty for the privilege of being lowed through the Ice to Nome
 An ocean steamer can either be chartered or bought outright to run between Seattle and Dutch Harbor to connect with the ice-breaker at Dutch Harbor.
