A MESSaGE
To Feeble Old People.

AS one grows old the waste OF the
system becomes more rapid S@an 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
strengthener and body-builder for old
folks. for, it contains the very ele-
ments needed to rebuild wasting It's
sues and replace weakness with
strength. Vinol also fortifies the sys-
tenn against colds and thus prevents
pneumonia.
A grsndneice Of Alexander Hamil-
ton over eighty years OF age, once
remarked: "Vinol is godsend to old
people. Thanks to Vinol. l have .
hearty appetite, sleep soundly, feel
active and well. 1t is the finest tonic
and strength-creator have ever
used"
If Yinol fails to build up the
feeble old people, and create
strength, we win return your money.

IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS
Grand Jury Wants County Officials ON
Salaries, and Board of Commits
siOners Reduced to Three.

The grand jury were discharged
Thursday afternoon after making
their report, which contains a num-
Der of important recommendations,
one of which is that hereafter the
county commissioners buy supplies
and material of every kind on COM
petitive bids. 1t was also recon-
mended that the membership Of the
board be reduced from five to three.
Another recommendation of inter-
est is that all the county officers be
put on salaries and the fee system of
compensation be abolished.
The presentments state that many
complaints were made to the grand
jury of the bad condition of the pub
lie roads in different sections of the
county, and it is recommended that
the highways be put in good repair
without further delay. TOO much
time" say the grand jurors, lis spent
on few roads to the detriment Of
the roads generally"
Judge Worrill is thanked for his
uniform kindness and courtesy, and
Solicitor General Laing, who will re-
tire from office January 1st, for the
manner in which he has discharged
his duties and prosecuted vice and
crime.
AS usual, it is recommended that
the presentments be published in The
News, and they will appear in Tues
days issue of the paper.

THAT MORYWAS UpAGAIN
Proposition to Sell 1t Came Up as
Usual. The Grand Jury Has
Had a Say, Too.


One of the standing subjects that
comes up at the monthly meetings of
the city council is the sale of the
armory, for which the council and
the county commissioners paid $500
of the peoples money several years
ago after the military company had
disbanded. Neither has the town had
a military company since, and the
property since it's purchase has been
vacant and of no service or benefit.
At the meeting of the council on
Tuesday night Alderman Perry,
chairman of the committee to whom
was referred the matter of disposing
of the armory, reported that he had
conferred with the county commits
sioners, but no definite action looking
to the sale of the property had been
taken After hearing the report the
council adopted a motion instructing
the committee ito cooperate with
the county commissioners in such
manner as they may see fit, and If
deemed advisable to advertise the
armory for sale"
The grand jury which has just
been in session sees in the armorys a
useless piece of public property in
which a considerable sum is tied up,
and in their general presentments
recommend that it be disposed of.
