Chronic Coughs and Cold.

Strong. vigorous nan and wmen
hardly ever catch Cold it's only when
the system is run doR n and vitdity
low that colds and cOukhs get bot
hold.
Now Isn't it reasonable that he
right way to cure cough is to buld
up your strength again?
Mrs. Olivia Parham, of East DIR
ham, N. c., says: Il took vinol for a
chronic cough which had lasted two
years. and the cough not only disal-
peared, but it built up my strength
as we'll"
The reason Vinol is SO eficacious n
such cases is because it contains in
delicious concentrated form all th3
medicinal curative elements of eoG
liver oil. with tonic, bodybuilding
iron added.
Chronic coughs and colds yield to
Vinol because it builds u the weak

You can get your money back any

Wimbledon, July 2S.-Maurice B. Mclaughlin, the California comet, celebrated a hundred years of peace with Great Britain, by vanquishing Charles P. Dixon, and thus ending the international tennis championship tourney by bringing back to America the Dwight F. Davis cup. With a flash of his wonderful speed, Mo Loughlin bested Davis S-6, 6-3, S-2. A tremendous gallery witnessed the final event, and Mclaughlin was giv- en a memorable ovation. Yankee and British alike joined in real sportsman like spirit in acclaiming the American contestants when it became apparent chat they were victors.
 McLoughlin's victory added to the victories in the singles and doubles matches already credited to the Americans makes the three out of five matches necessary for title to the cup.
 , The United States lost the cup to England in 1908. Australia took it away from England in 1907, and held it until 1912, when it was won again by England.
 The present tournament, which proved to be the greatest in the his tory of the trophy, involved eight teams. Play began early in June with Germany defeating France at Wies- baden. fdAar matches to one. Then the United States team won from the Aus

In the final round the Dominion players fai1- ed to check the United States team's s cup rush and with the winning of to- days crucial match against the Eng fish cup defenders the trophy and championship returns to America again.
 Mclaughlin won the first set from Dixon by 8 games to 6 after a deal of cratic lawn tennis, both men being guilty. The Californian made a mum Der of double falls, two of them in one game, while Dixon also offended in this respect. Mclaughlin was not as accurate. He drove many balls out and netted others, but in overhead work he was so clearly superior to his opponent that the result was never in doubt except in one game.
 In the second set Mclaughlin de- lighted his supporters with some bril- liant cross court shots and half vol. 1eys. The result was soon a foregone conclusion. The American drove down the side lines with remarkable precision and persistence and carried off the set by six games to three.
