HOW OLD PEOPLE
Nav Pro1ong 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 oily will prolong life. 1t 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 Vino1 with the un-
de7standing that your money will be
returned If 1t does not help you.

their own families and the pablo gen.
orally to the dangers that might re-
suit.

earthly things and seek home above
Dearest Hattie how we miss you sine,

Gaynor on Graft.

Mayor Gaynor's appearance on the wit
ness stand at the aldermanic inquiry into
the police graft conditions in New York
is hardly calculated to improve his public
situation. Indeed, on the contrary, it is
likely to increase the feeling of the COM
munity that he is not entirely frank in
his attitude and expressions. Boiled
down to lowest terms, his testimony con-
sisted in the declaration that he had con-
fidence in the present commissioner. that
he was endeavoring to work out re-
forms in the police administration and
that such graft as existed was the enter
prise solely of individuals such as Becker.
He was satirical and antagonistic. He
insisted upon combining the questions
strictly to the matter of existing police
corruption as far as he, the mayor. was
aware of 1t. He derided improved allie
cations of crookedness as being inspired
by newspapers and cutthroats" and he
fiercely resented any suggestion that i'm
proper proceedings had been tolerated by
him personally or officially. Indeed, he
was virtually on the defensive through
out and left the impression that he re-
garded any inquiry into what he was do
ing or had done to administer the police
department as an impertinence.

yer will avail to solve the problem. The
withdrawal Of forces from the capital for
the reinforcement of the western gayri-
sons and the prosecution of the campaign
there will invite attack upon the federal
headquarters from the south, where a
large body of insurgents, of a somewhat
distinct allegiance from that of the
northern and western rebels, now oper-
ate. At the same time it is expected
that upon the arrival of the reinforce
ments in the west the, insurgents Will
simply disappear from that region for a
time, perhaps moving southeast to join
those who are menacing the capital
For the purposes of the American gov
eminent this may work out effectuadiy
in the protection of the Americans In the
western states, provided the region De-
tween the federal centers is not thrown
into still greater decentralization.
Little can be expected from the Mexi-
can situation short of the absolute crush
ing of the insurrection by the established
government. or its prompt overthrow ana
the substitution of an administration
strong enough to maintain itself. Neither
result seems likely at this time. Inc
prospect, indeed. is that the present state
of affairs may continue indefinitely, un-
less the United States takes hand or
the Mexicans themselves, by some action
calculated to bring about reprisal, preclp-
itate Intervention. AS long as the nves
of the 10000 Americans in Mexico are
preserved and property rights are re-
spected sufficiently to justify withholding
punishment, it is possible for the present
unsatisfactory but not acuteiy intoier-
able condition to run along. Still, there IS
danger every day in the close proximity
of powder and spark.
