Education, like religion and society
and government, has it's basis in fear.
Unfortunately too many ignorant edu-
Gators and brutal parents carry this
education all through the lives of their
children, using fear, punishment and
cruelty as permanent forces, instead of
substituting for fear, as soon as the
child can think, kindness, justice and
reason.

Fear even to this day, is the dom

The duty Of man, as Charles Fourier
long ago told q needless people, is to
understand his passions, to control
them and direct them.

DO YOU ENJOY EATING
Or Does Everything You Eat
 Distress You?

Experts declare that the reason stomach disorders are so common in this country is due to hasty and careless habits of eating. Stomach troubles and rundown conditions also usually go together.
 John Lind, of Oneonta, N r.. says: q have been troubled with a bad stomach trouble for fifteen years. and became so weak that l could hardly walk or do any work My appetite was very poor, and it seemed impos- sible to get any relief. Since taking two bottles of Vinol I find that it has already made a remarkable improve ment in my health; my digestion is much stronger, and I have gained in ! weight"
 yinol makes weak stomachs strong because it strengthens and tones up the weakened, tired and overtaxed nerves of the digestive organs. Vinol is easily asslmilated by the weakest stomachs, and is delicious to the taste.
 Try a bottle of Vinol with the understanding that your money will be returned if 1t does not help you.
