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
bad 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 a siege OF
whooping cough"
Vinol is a wonderful combination
of two world-famed tonics-the med1-
cinal body building elements of cod
liver oil and iron for the blood, there
fore it is 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
q weak, sickly or ailing child in this
vicinity to try Vinol on our guarantee.

|. SOURCE OF POWER.

Whatever progress has been
made in democratiZing life OPP
portunity for the workers has
been instituted by the toilers
themselves. Often they have
reached for what they vaguely
felt but did not understandable
inarticulate cropping and yearn-
ing of a human mind conscious
of better things Often their
methods have lacked in nicely
and most perfect adaptability,
but zeal inspired by an ideal has
won against great obstacles.
Out of even blundering attempts
have come development and con-
sciousness of power to work out
their own salvation They have
learned by their mistakes as well
as their successes.
Experience of many years
teaches that the essential condi
ton requisite for all success is
economic organization. That is
the source of all power and the
foundation of all activities. All
else is subordinate to the eco
nomic organization.

cate u errlnc slaughter.
Many of the phrases OF war are mis-
leading to the reader who is ignorant
of the technical meaning of military
terms. That is the case with the words
''annihilated' and destroyed The

which all, OF virtually all. the soldiers
are left dead on the field
The truth. however. is quite differ
ent. BY nn means was every soldier
or every trooper killed: the division or
regiment was destroyed or annihilated
as an organization or effective lighting
unit
In time OF war men fight, not as In
dfvidnals, but as parts OF lighting

or mere dssorganiZed collection Of men,
they are unable to attack the enemy,
and usually unable TO make any de
fense against attack
So. when the organization is thus
broken, 1t is said 10 be annihilated or
destroyed. although perhaps only q
small part of the soldiers have actually
been killed or wounded Indeed, 1t is
rare that a fighting unit survives the
loss of more than 10 per cent Of Its
men. That is because the mortality
of officers Is always higher than that
! among the privates, and when nearly
half of its officers are killed or wound
ed the organization generally goes to
pieces. In such d case the men go to
the rear as individuals or In such order
as they can maintain. There they must
remain until the organization Is recruit

that is done they are useless for war.
In the Boer war General Butler,
with an army of some 10000 men, at
tackled the Beers at the Tugela river.
He was defeated and lost about $500
men, killed and wounded-less than
one-tenth of his whole army. Yet his
army was said to be destroyed. as, In
fact, 1t was After the defeat it had
lost all organization and virtually de-
generated into mob 1t had to re
