FOR DELICATE CHILDREN

Mrs. e. w. Cooper of Bloomfield,
N. j., says: my child, seven years
old. had bad cold and was weak
and quite run down in health. She
had been in this condition for about
six weeks when I began giving her
Vinol. 1t was a wonderful help to the
child, reaking up her cold quickly
and building up her strength beside.
have also found Vinol a most excel
lent tonic for keeping up the chill
dren's strength during a siege of
whooping cough"
Vinol is wonderful combination of
two world-famed tonics-the medi-
cinal body building elements of cod
liver oil and iron for the blood, there
fore it is a perfectly safe medicine
for children, because 1t is not a
patent medicine, everything in 1t is
printed on every package, so mothers
may know what they are giving their
little ones.
Therefore we ask every mother of
a weak sickly or ailing child in this
vicinity to try Vinol on our guarantee.

CHARITIES TO HEAR
OF YULET|DE WORK
Cooperative Plans Carried With
Better Results Than
Ever Before

How the cooperative charitable
work in the oity was developed and
Increased during the last twelve
months will be embodied in the annual
report of the Associated Charities that
will be presented to the board of gov
ernors at the annual meeting in Feb
ruary. The stattstios are now being
compiled.
The Christmas-tide and holiday sea-
son work was particularly productive
of splendid results; the dispensing of
charity on cooperative basis was &C
complished more effectively than ever
before. The various churches, the
Telegraph's Full Stocking Club, the
State collegians, the Technical high
school students, the various charitable
and philanthropic organizations, the
Sunday school classes and little pri-
vate clubs. all co-operated with the
Charities in such a way that 1t is
doubtful II very many small folks
were forgotten this year by Santa.
One of the highest undertakings In
which the Charities assisted and the
proceeds of which will be handled by
this body, is the Red Cross Christmas
seal sales are not vet all in but it
is safe to say that between 100000 and
250.000 were sold.
At Christmas time the Associated
Charities provided the names for 655
of the Telegraph's stockings; to the
State collegians who organized a char
ity campaign in this city, the names of
forty nine families which were pYo-
vided with groceries; three families
with coal. and fourteen with clothing;
twenty-six tickets for baskets were
distributed for the American Rescue
Workers, and eighteen individuals and
churches were provided with recon-
mendations of names for folks who
needed clothing.
The smaller clubs this year COOP
Grated more than ever before and in
one instance the wv. w. Club" an or
ganization of pretty Allison Fill girls,
ranging from thirteen to fifteen years,
did particularly good work. The girls
prepared all the necessary clothing
for the seven children of a widows
family, providing the things that had
been suggested by the Charities.
