FEEBLE OLD PEOPLE
Are Told How to Regain
Strength and Vigor.

As one grows old the waste OF the
system becomes more rapid than re-
pair, the organs act more slowly ana
less effectively than in youth, the cir
culation is poor. the blood thin and
digestion weak.
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic without oil is the ideal
strengthener and body-builder for old
folks. for it contains the very elements
needed to rebuild wasting tissues and
replace weakness with strength. Vinol
also fortiies the system against colds
and thus prevents pneumonia.
Mrs. Mary Ivey, Of Columbus, Ca,
says: IF people only knew the good
VInol does old people, l am sure you
would be unable to supply the de-
mand. never took anything before
that did me so much good as Vinol.
It is the finest tonic and strength
creator I ever used in my life"

old people, and create strength we

and Pubic.
ANTAGOAISM OVER, He SAYS
The President Declares Monopoly ls
Indefensible and lnterloekins Diree
torates Must Go.

President Wilson personally laid be
fore a joint session of congress on
Tuesday the fundamental principles
of the Democratic administration
program for dealing with the trusts
and big business"
The president presented the case,
he said, "as it lies in the thought Of
the country" reiterating that private
monopoly is indefensible and intoler
able" and declaring that conscientious
business men throughout the nation
would not be satisfied until practices
now deprecated by public opinion as
restraints OF trade and commerce were
corrected.
I'VE are now about to write the ad.
ditional article Of our constitution Of
peace said the president, the peace
that is honor and freedom and pros
perity."
Besides suggesting the scope of legis
lation, the president made a personal
appeal for an atmosphere of friendli
ness and cooperation in congress
while handling the problem. THE an.
tagonism," he said, between business
and government is over. We are now
about to give expression to the best
judgment of America, to what we
know to be the business conscience
and honor of the land. The govern.
ment and business men are ready toI
meet each other half way in a com.
mon effort to square business meth
DDS with both public opinion and the
law"
The chief points which the presi
dent singled out as a basis for legisla
tion were:
1-Ehectual prohibition of the inter
locking of directorates of great cor
porations- banks, railroads, industrial,
commercial and public service bodies.
"A law to confer upon the inter
state commerce commission the power
to superintend and regulate the finan-
cial operations by which railroads are
henceforth to be supplied with the
money they need for their proper de-
yelopment and improved Transports. |
tion facilities. The president made it |
clear that the prosperity of the rail.
roads and the prosperity of the coun.
try are inseparably connected" in this
regard.
3-Defnition of "the many hurtful
of trade" by explicit legis.
lation supplementary to the Sherman
law.
4-The creation of a commission to
aid the courts and to act as a clearing
house of information in helping bust
ness to conform with the law.
5-Proyision of penalties and punish.
ments to fall upon individuals respon-
sible for unlawful business practices.
6-Prohibition of holding companies
and a suggestion that the voting
power of individuals holding shares in
numerous corporations might be re
stricted.
Giving to private individuals the
light to found suits for redress on
acts and judgments proven in govern.
nent suits, and providing that a stat.
lte of limitations should run only from
