Experts declare that the reason
stomach disorders are so common in
this country is due to hasty and care

troubles and rundown conditions
usually go together.
John w. Skillen Of Sidney, Ohio,
says: II had bad stomach trouble
for years, and became so weak that
I could hardly walk or do any work.
Ny appetite was poor, and it seemed
impossible to get any relief. Since

Vinol makes weak stomachs strong
because it strengthens and tones up

Is easily assimilated by the weakest
stomachs, and is delicious to the taste.

Morgan Quits Big Corporations.

New York, Jan. 81. Pierpont
Morgan announced yesterday that
he and his four partners had retired
from thirty directorships in twenty
seven of the largest corporations in
which they were represented, in
Guiding the New Haven, the New
York Central and the American
Telephone and Telegraph, three of
their leading interests. Further
Withdrawals are to follow from cor
porations where there is no special
obligation to remain. A charge in
public sentiment regarding director
ships in the reason given for the
sweeping policy of withdrawal from
corporate dictatorship of the Nor
gan house. This is not done in
any spirit of pique or annoyance"
it was said at the Office of the firm
after Morgan had personally dis
tributed his firmal statement, but
after months of deliberation and
solely for the best interest of the
companies concerned and of j. P.
Morgan & Co."
Morgan's announcement caused a
thrill in Wall street and almost
created a halt in trading on the
Stock Exchange.
While it is probably true that
many Of the prominent bankers had
information ioreshadowing this
move toward ending interlocking
directorates, the public and brokers
had no advanced knowledge Of what
was taking place in the inner coun-
ellis of the greatest American house
of finance. Wherever telephone and
ticker flashed the news about the
street groups Of men gathered to
discuss the topic.

Lenten Laws

Few people understand why eggs
play so important a part in Easter
celebrations. The reason is that
the medieval law forbade eggs dur
ing Lent, and, hence, at Easter the
hungry medieval populace return
ed to their favorite dish with re-
joicing. With us today, when Lent
no longer fOrbids eggs. there is no
reason for featuring them upon our
Easter Sunday breakfast menu.
But we do - it is the pretty survival
of an obsolete custom.
In Elizabeth's time he who ate
flesh during Lent was fined three
pounds sterling. He who so much
as had meat in his house was pill
Ioried or set in the stocks.
But the rich, as usual, lodged the
harsh Lenten laws, and they who
could afford it bought licenses to
eat meat in Lent. Fol these licenses

The case was instituted and prose-

coming of the day when big cor

In the first months of 1918 the
Democratic party came into con-
troll in both Nation and State. The
people were dissatisfied with the
manner in which the affairs of gov
eminent had been administered in
the interest of the few and had
turned to the Democratic party as
the instrument by which they
should be able to regain control of
their own affairs and have them
administered in the interest of the
public. Have they been disappoint-
ed? Evidently not in the least. We
We assert without fear of successful
contradiction that the party has
more than met the expectations Of
the people. Our leaders have met

all right thinking people in a high

gives promise of great things in

Paris, Oct. 31-The following Of
ficial statement was issued by the
war office this afternoon:
Yesterday was marked by gen.
eral offensive on the part Of the Ger

driven back by counter attacks. To
the south of Ypres we lost some
points in support of Hollebecke and
Zannworde and we advanced to the
east of Ypres to Paschendaele for

all German attacks were repulsed
with heavy losses for them. In the
region of Chaulnee we advanced be-

noyen and Santerrer. In the region
of the Aisne we likewise have made
progress, but we have withdrawn in
the forest of Silly. There has been
an advance in the region of SQUAT

at Aigonne. In the Woevre region
we have gained further ground in the
