WHY CHILDREN ARE PUNY
Need More Food-Richer Blood, Bet
ter Appetite

Anxious parents often wonder why
their children are so thin, pale and
nervous and have so little appetite.
Growing children need lots" OF
food. They use so much energy in
play. and their growing bodies re-
quire so much more, that unless they
eat heartily. they are bound to suf-
fer.
A Bloomfield. n. J.. mother, Mrs,
f. W. Cooper, says. MY little girl
had bad cold and was run down
in health for six weeks Then I
gave her Vinol and ii was a wonder
full help, breaking up her cold quick
ly and building up strength besides
have also found NinOl an excellent
tonic for keeping up children's
strength during whooping cough"
Our delicious tonic. Vinol. is a
wonderful appetizer and you can see
children improve day by day under
its use 1t enriches the blood and

icate children rugged and rosy.

Call for Compromise Candidate.

Whoever wins at Ghicago-if it is
either Taft or Rooseyelt--the fact is
now clearly apparent that neither can
bee elected in November This is
plain talk, but IL is the solemn truth,
and might as well be faced. The con
test has quite passed the bounds Of
ordinary canvass for nomination,
where the majority determines. the
minority submits and both turn in to-
gether and elect the conyentions's
choice II is a bitter struggle that
has split the republican party wide
open, with not the slightest prospect
that the breach will heal before cleo
ton time. On every hand is heard
the expression, 'Ill never vote for
Taft" or Better democrat than
Roosevelt from men who have new
er talked this way before.
The republican party has nothing
to spare this year If il would win.
The democrats are united and in
splendid shape TO put up grand
battle. They are flushed with recent
successes and thoroughly confident
of victory. Their presidential can
vass is being carried on in a dignifed
and reasonable way, in marked con.
trast to that of our party. The nom
inee will poll the full party strength
What hope is there for n bitter, dis
cordant and divided republican party
this year? Without ascribing causes
or placing blame, this is the condi
ton, and IL is better to face II and
handle II now than 10 utter vain re
grets afterwards.
The plain truth is that the fight
between Taft and Roosevelt is large
ly one of personality, and that prin
ciples are secondary. Each wants e
put the other away, with little regarC
to other considerations. The party
ought to stop and inquire whether
this personal rivalry should be per
mitted TO extend TO the point o
wrecking the party itself With boil
men out OF the way. the party coul,
get together on satisfactory plat
form and pick some man who woul,
fairly represent It, Taft and Roose
