ARMY OF DESPAIR
BY Fred Isler, Sec'y HOboes' Union.
MIDNIGHT MISSION. 1t is mid
night. The weather is cold and raw.
The lights on State street are shining
brightly. From the saloons come
loud and boisterous conversation.
Crowds are coming out Of the movies
and cheap vaudeville shows which are
a feature on the street. This marks
the midnight hour in the neighbOr-
hood and is part of it's daily routine.
At the same hour something else
is taking place and few pay any at
tentiOn to it. It is hardly noticeable.
Yet it is more than an incident in the
great tragedy of life.
What is it? Part of the Army of
Despair. Without advance notice or
advertising bills they have learned
that a new haven of refuge, a place
to sleep, is open; and like bees around
the comb they crowd a small hall,
known as the Midnight Mission. And
they crowd it well, not a seat is left
vacant, not an inch of space that is
not taken. One hundred strong they
are and AZ seats to accommodate
them, and more are coming, but the
doortender has had to close the glass
door. They try the door, look at the
head of the stairs, and then deeper
note of despair can be seen on their
faces. Their last chance to sleep in
a warm place is gone. For the bal /
ance of the night it will be the cold
street and they will have to walk and
walk till the friendly doors of a saloon
will be opened in the morning. In
the expressive language of the unem-
pIoyed, they will carry the banner"

Most Of the Bills introduced propose

INDIGESTION OVERCOME
Overcome BY Simple Remedy

overcome by Simple Kennedy.
Hurried and careless habits of eat
ing, irregular meals and foods that
do not harmonic, tend to weaken
the digestive organs and result in
different forms of stomach trouble
If you are one of the unfortunates
who have drifted into this condition,
eat simple foods only, slowly. regu-
larly and take Vinol, our delicious
cod liver and iron tonic.
Mrs. H. J. Smith, Thomasville, Ca,
says: II suffered from a stomach
trouble, was tired, worn out and ner-
vous. A friend advised me to take
Vinol. My stomach trouble soon dis
appeared and now eat heartily and
have a perfect digestion and wish
every tired, weak woman could have
Vinol, for never spent any money
in my life that did me so much good"
The recovery of Mrs. Smith was
due to the combined action of the
medicinal elements of the Gods livers
aided by the blood making and
strength creating properties of tonic
iron, which are contained in Vinol.
We will return the purchase money
every time Vino! fails to benefit.
