RALEIGH, N. C. CHILD
Made Strong and Well by VinOL

When we tell you that Vinol is the
best remedy in our whole stock
for making weak, puny, ailing chill
dren strong, robust and rosy we are
only telling you what has been prov
ed by hundreds of mothers.
Mrs. w o. Strother, Raleigh, N. c.,
says: My little girl, Hazel, has
been taking Vinol to build her up
after a severe spell of sickness. II
has done so much good by restoring
her appetite and building up her
strength that think Vinol is the fin
est tonic ever prepared, and | am
telling everyone about it"
What Vinol did for this little girl
it will do for every weak and ailing
child because sticky children need
the Strengthening cod liver elements
and the tonic iron that Vinol con-
tains-that is why Vinol builds
them up quickly and gives them a
fine, healthy color. 1t is pleasant to
take and we guarantee that the re-
suits will satisfy you-money back

SEEKERS FOR
OFFICE ARE
VERY MANY
THEY CALL JPON CRISP
Asking Various FaVOrs From
Him

While Congressman Charles a.
Crisp is spending ten days at his hone
in Americas, this respite is not one II
rest, for the many applicants for
places in the government employ have
found him here, and during the past
two days he has been besieged by
callers who desire to see the plum
tree given a jolt.
Yesterday, and ON the day previous,
Mr.. Crisp was waited upon by dele
cations of citizens of Shellman, Ash
burn, Oglethorpe and other towns in
his district regarding the appointment
of postmaster in each place. The del
egations in some instances number a
half dozen, while there were individ-
ual callers as well, but the object III
every instance was the same, and each
list of callers received the same care
full and courteous consideration.
1t has been the announced policy OF
Mr.. Crisp regarding postoffice and
other appointments, to consider care
fully the qualifications of each appli-
cant, making no promises, but at the
proper time giving his endorsement to
the applicant best qualified for the
position sought and who, at the same
time, would be most acceptable to the
constituents whom he would serve.
In this way, while the officers will
not nearly go around among the host
of applicants, he will make no mistake.
he thinks, in endorsing the best man
for the place. In Washington, as wei
as here, Mr.. Crisp has been besieged
by officeseekers, as have the othor
Georgia members in congress. NJ.
Crisp will return to Washington next
week in ample time to be upon the
scene at the opening of the extra ses-
sion on March 7th.

ATTACK MADE ON THE
YELLOW ATLANTA PRESS
Fr0st's Magazine Has Salty Editorial;
COndemning SensatiOnaIism.

Atlanta, March 25.-A severe indict-
ment of the Atlanta daily newspapers
for sensationalism, coupled with the
qualifying expression that public taste
is also somewhat to blame, is contain
ed in leading editorial of new and
interesting Atlanta publication which
has just issued its first number under
date of April, 1913.
1t is monthly periodical entitled
Frost's Magazine, and is founded and
edited b Jonathan B. Frost, the well
known Atlanta capitalist and litera-
teur. After referring to the Appel
baum case and the unfortunate am
cunt of publicity it has been given,
the editor continues:
You ask yourself the question,
Why do the newspapers publish such
filth and trash? The answer is, be.
cause they sell more of them. The
newsboys like to cry such papers be-
cause they can sell four of them to
where they sold one containing only
good, wholesome news.
I'VE believe there are many good
newspapers today that would not pub
fish some of the stuff they do if they
were not driven to it by their Compel
itors who cater to sensationalism. If
one of the Atlanta newspapers should
announce tomorrow that hereafter no
sensational murders, suicides, divorc-
es, etc. would be published in it's COL
umns, it would be in the hands of a
receiver in less than ninety days"
The first issue of Frost's Magazine
is beautifully illustrated and covers a
whole realm of editorial comment, po-
litical views, educational news ro-
nance, fiction and drama.
