INDIGESTION FIVE YEARS
Relieved by vinol.

Strength and even life itself de-
peuds upon the nourishment and
proper assimilation of food, and unless
digestion is good, the whole body suf-
fers.
Mrs. L. D. Cook, vineland, N. j.,
says: Il was sick five years with in
digestion. My stomach seemed to
have a heavy load in it, and at other
times it seemed to be tied in knots.
Nobody knows how suffered.
"I tried a great many doctors and
a great many kinds Of medicine, but
nothing did any good until l took
Vinol. It has helped me wonderfully.
I am improving fast, feel better and
am getting my flesh back again. Vinol
has done me a world OF good"
We hAOw the great power Of Vinol,
our delicious cod liver and iron
tonic without oil, in curing chronic
stomach trouble and building up
all weakened, rundown persons, and
that is why we guarantee to return
your money If it does not help you.

TEN HOUR Law FOR WOMEN.

The organized effort to get laws
passed which will prevent women work.
ing more that ten hours each day, has
caused the conditions of women labor
to be considered in many ways, and il
| should resultin the more general guard
ing the health of women generally, ano
especially of women who are regularly
employed in gainful occupations.
One Of the most important points to
combat is the statement of the Opposi-
tion that the girls themselves do not
want this law.
We know the opinion of the girls
would not be given any weight if ex-
paessed about some existing condition
that di not affect profits.
Former AttOrney-General Bonaparte,
in commenting on this phase of the
campaign for ten hour law in Mary
land, recently said:
In dealing with this subject we must
bear in mind that the women we seek
to benefit must be often protected a.
gainst their will or, at all events,
against their apparent wishes. Not
only are they often young, ignorant
and very poor, so that they think more
of the trifiing pay they sometimes get
for overWork than of the grave and
permanent injury it may cause them,
but they are also timid, afraid of losing
their jobs and with these, their liveli-
hood, and readily Overawed and coerced
by their employers.
In struggles to secure the enactment
or enforcement of similar legislation in
other States, reformers have been met
again and again with petitions, memor-
ials and affidavits from the women they
sought to help declaring that the latter
didn't wish to be helped and vastly pre-
ferred that things should remain as
they were.
Women have not been used to taking
the lead. Their outlook on life, as com
pared to mans, is from an entirely diff
ferent standpoint. Through genera
tions of training, the man expects to
fight the industrial battle. With a
woman, there is always the hope of
marriage, an exit from the strife and
so the working woman argues whats
the use Next year may be married. "
This is the general attitude of mind of
many women on this subject.
Whether the working girls and
women, themselves, favor or oppose
the law, the question presented to the
people, and to the peoples servants in
the Legislature, is precisely the same;
shall we endanger the health, the hap
piness, the morals and the social use
fulness of our working women to save
a little money in the pockets of the
?
Let us hope that such question will
not even be asked in Delaware. If it |
shall be asked, let US hope yet more
fervently that the answer may be short, |
sharp and decisive and most emphsti-
cally, MOP
