suffered quick loss on account of hav-
ing no water mains. This is very erron-

of the canal and B; ok creek, no house in
the town limits being beyond reach of
the 1900 feet of hole owned by the local

FRAIL, S!ckIY Child
Restored to Health by Who'll
Letter to Mothers,

anxious mothers often wonder why
t..eir children are SO pale, thin and
Ioryous and have SO little appetite.
Tor the benefit of such mothers in
is vicinity We publish the following
;ss,er
J. Edmund Miller, New Haven,
Conn, says: my little daughter. ever
e.nce her birth, had been frail and
t,ckly. and was a constant source of
yorriment. Several months ago we
oommenced to give her Vinol. | in.-
rlediately noted an improvement in
Ter health and appearance. I gave
Eer three bottles of Vinol, and from
the good it has done her I can truly
cay it will do all you claim"
This child's recovery was due to
the combined action of the medicinal
clements extracted from Gods liver9,
combined with the blood-making
and strengthening properties of
tonic iron, which are contained in
Vinol.
Vinol will build up and strengthen
delicate children, old people and tho
weak, rundown and debilitated. We
return the money in every case where
1t fails.

Why Use L. & M. Semi Mixed
Real Paint

Because it's economical. Because it is
pure White Lead, Zinc and Linseed Oil
Because it's the highest grade quality
paint that can be made. Because when
the user adds quarts of Oil to each
gallon of the l. & NJ. Semi Mixed Real
Paint, it makes "a gallons of pure
paint at a cost of about $l.40 per gallon.
This saves the user about 60 cents a
gallon on all the paint used. The L. &
NJ. is and has always bee nthe highest
grade and most perfect paint produced
