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 oiD will prolong life. II 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
II people In this vicinity only real
ized how vinol invigorates old people
we would not be able to supply the
demand.
Try a bottle Of Vinol with the I'M
Outstanding that your money will be
returned II It does not help you.

TAFT'S STRENGTH
IN MICHIGAN
Shown ConclusiveIy In a Poll Of the
State Legislature.

President Taft's strength in Michi
gan was brought forcibly to public
attention just before the adjournment
Of the first special session. when a
poll OF the House of Representatives
and Of the State Senate was taken
The result was surprising to many
friends OF Theodore Roosevelt who
looked for an entirely different out.
come of the test.
In the House Mr. Taft received AZ
votes, Mr.. Roosevelt "a. Wilson 6. La.
Toilette l, Clark 3. and Harmon 3.
In the Senate poll Mr.. Taft was
given 20 votes while Mr.. Roosevelt
received only 4.
The result Is especially significant
because the members OF the House
and Senate represent a wide constit.
uency whose sentiments they in a
great measure reflect. Significant
also Is the result because, Roosevelt
had been promised the state of Mich
igan by some of his friends and ard
ent supporters, who represented that
this state was ablaZe with enthusi-
asm for Colonel Roosevelt. The sen.
timent given voice to in Lansing is
but an indication OF the waning IN.
terest in Roosevelt's campaign and
emphasizes the reaction in favor of
Mr.. Taft. In view of the increasing
sentiment for Taft the poll may be
accepted as true index to the pre-.
vailing condition in this state and to
the growing confidence In the Ma.

Only through the greatest pleading had I managed to coax him back to my chambers. hoping l might screw out Of him some explanation.
