northern border, the forts have been
strengthened, and all the mountain

HOW TO KEEP ACTIVE
When Old Age Overtakes Us.

Mira John Widmayer Of jackson,
Mich, says: Although 50 years Of
age, and naturally, because Of my
advanced age, in an enfeebled condi-
>tion. I can truthfully say that vinol
has done wonders to keep me as ac-
tive a. I am. It Is the best medi-
cine to create strength that I ever
saw. This spring was very much
run down and worn out. but I took
Vinol and soon felt stronger and able
to work about the house. I can
recommend vinol as Q very invisorat-
ing tonic"
Should the system get run down
digestive organs weak-the blood thin
and sluggish-take Vinol. which Is a
delicious combination Of the medicinal,
bodybuilding properties Of Gods
livers, with the useless grease elimi-
mated and tonic iron added. We
regard Vinol as one Of the greatest
body-builders and strength creators
in the world for aged people.
We wish every feeble old person
IN this vicinity would try vinol on
our agreement to return their money
il II fails to give satisfaction.

Must SAY Strike Is On.

At the request OF the Central Fed
Grated union Of New York city. Sena-
tor Boylan has introduced a bill regu-
lating advertisements and solicitations
for employees during strikes and
lOckouts. The bill was drawn by
Frank X. Sullivan. attorney for the
central body. and provides that any
advertisements for workers during
strikes or lockouts shall contain these
facts. Another section provides that
when a worker seeks employment in
a factory where a strike or lockout Is
on, the management shall state such
facts to the applicant in his language
or native tongue. The bill is intended
to end the practice so common among
certain manufacturers of inducing
workers to come to strike localities.

CANDIDACY
A Communication From
Rev. J. G. Osborne
Pastor of the First Baptist Church in
SkOwhegan Writes the independents
Reporter.
September 8, 1914.

september ., 1914.
To the Editor of the Independent-Re-
porter
Dear Sir: | hate rum. | have no
use for it in any conceivable way. Es-
pecially | hate and abominate the use
of rum in politics. Certain stories
have just been called to my attention
in which the candidate for Represen-
tative on the Republican ticket is ac-
cused of using rum wholesale in his
campaign. These stories | have tried
TO investigate, and have failed to find,
from any official source any facts on
which they could be based.
1t happens that this candidate Mr..
Roy L. Marston, is a personal friend
of mine, and for nearly three years
have been rather closely acquainted
with him as his pastor. | believe in
him personally and am proud of his
Legislative ability and record. The es-
TEEN in which he is held by the church
and parish which | have the honor to
serve is shown by the fact that for
years he has been a valued and hon
ored officer of the Board of Trustees,
and he is ever ready to assist in every
good thing. His public spirit is we'll
known and his integrity unquestioned
in all his large business affairs.
Now, sir. Mr. Marston is either gull
ty of that of which he is accused. or
he is not. | have always found him a
man of truth, and he has issued a
signed and sworn statement denying
the charges made against him. This
should be taken at its face value, and
so take it, If these stories are not
simply malicious slander-dirty politi-
cal trickery that is necessary for
Mr Marstons detractors to do in or
der to accomplish their purpose is to
produce unquestionablo proof then
the matter is settled. But | wish to
protest most earnestly against the cir
culation of such stories at election
time under any circumstances. If
there is proof the matter should be
dealt with by law. If there is no
proof and no foundation in fact, how
can We hope to secure as candidates
for elective officers men of character
and ability. men sensitive as to per
sonal reputation and the honor of the
names they bear? | appeal to all low
ers of decency and clean politics to
refuse to be Influenced by malicious
charges and to repudiate the men who
use such methods.
Respectfully yours.
J. G. OSBORNE,
Pastor 1st Baptist Church
