FOR DELICATE CHILDREN
a Mothers Letter to Mothers

a Mothers Letter to Mothers.
Mrs. E. w. Cooper of Bloomfield,
N. j., says: my child, seven years
old, had a bad cold and was weak
and quite run down in health. She
had been in this condition for about
six weeks when l began giving her
Vinol It was wonderful help to the
child, breaking up her cold quickly
and building up her strength beside.
I have also found Vinol a most excel
lent tonic for keeping up the chill
d1en's strength during siege of
Whooping cough
Vinol is a 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 it is not a
patent medicine, everything in it is
printed on every package, so mothers
may know what they are giving their
little ones.
Therefore we ask every mother of
a weak, sick1y or ailing child in this
vicinity to try Vinol on our guarantee.
P. S. Our Saxo Salve is truly won
derful for Eczema. We guarantee 1t.

ABOUT THAT CENTER ROW.

With several buildings now under
construction, and pans in the hands
OF architects for several more, Scot
land Neck has awakened from her
dormant spell and is now leaping
forward both in growth and I'M

seen much progress and betterment
in our town.
To keep astride with the growth
and Improvement Of the business
section, rumor has it that the City
Fathers are contemplating having
the center row between Ninth and
Twelfth streets removed. While no
doubt this project win meet with
disapproval of a few in the commu-
nifty, who are alwaps against any
thing that the OTHER fellow is for;
still, such a step towards giving
more room for Saturday. traffic and
on other busy days when this section
Of the street is almost impossible
would certainly be a wise one.
Mr.. Luther Mills Of the Municipa
Light Rant, when interviewed con
corning the expense in moving the
electric light poles and wires to the
west side Of Main street, estimated
the cost would be about four hun
dred dollars. With the light pole
removed to the west side of tn,
street, the only other remaining i'm
pediment to traffic would be tn,
