WEAK and TIRED WOMEN
TELLS HOW VINOL MADE HER
STRONG.


Americas women who are weak, run
down and suffer from the consequent
effects of such a condition, will be
interested in Mrs. Odell's letter. She
says:
Il am farmers wife and was all
/ run down, weak, tired and suffered
from Indigestion, and sometimes 4
seemed as though | could not keel
around and do my Homework: had
taken many medicines without benefit
One day | saw Vinol advertised, and
made up my mind to try it. l have
taken four bottles and have gained
seven pounds in weight, am much
stronger, and feel many years young
er than before" Sarah Odell, Lock
port, n. Y.
The reason Vinol builds up weak
rundown women so quickly is be-
cause it contains delicious combi-
nation of the three most successful
topics, peptonate OF iron to enrich
and revitalize the blood, the strength
creating, bodybuilding elements OF
f esh Gods livers without oil, and
beef peptone.
We want to say to every weak
rundown, overworked woman in
Americas that we will return your
money if Vinol fails to help you as it
did Mrs. Odell. Hooks Pharmacy

DAYTON, o., Nov. 19.-In the con-
vention of statesmen of the National
Cash Register company, gathered here
from all parts of this continent, re-
ports were made indicating the gem
! eral improvement of business every
where. Out of the eight hundred
statesmen present, all but one said that
his territory was moving fast toward
business boom
On the basis of these reports, John
H. Patterson, president and general
manager of the Cash Register company
predicted that the approaching era of
prosperity would probably exceed any
thing this country has ever known.
AS a preface to his remarks, he
reviewed the business depression CT
the previous two years. This, he said,
had affected all agriculture,
mining, industry, commerce and f.
nance.
Now he continued, "the loom is
on. Agricultural interests are the
first to feel it. The farmers have rec
ord-breaking crops, with a bag de-
mand. Confidence has been re-estab.
lished. Various industries have pick
ed up, one after another Then the
stores needed goods, and factory
wheels began to move. Then COM
merce and transportation reflected the
change. Finally it was manifest in
the financial world. We have plenty
of money and the best banking sys-
tenn in the world today.
I'VE have three big federal organi-
cations taking care of these various
interests First, the Interstate Com
merce commission; then came the Fed
eral Trade commission; and, finally,
the Federal Reserve board, with it's
chain of reserve banks. The value of
these three boards or commissions 20
the country cannot be estimated.
Through the aid of the reserve
banks, the various banking fnstftu-
lions of the country began to loan
money where people could not get it
before. Now with big crops and big
demands, with little foreign competi-
ton, we are at the commencement Of
an era of prosperity such as this
country has never seen before.
"All this great prosperity cannot
come in day. 1t will take time But
conditions everywhere are improving
The farmers are prosperous. The mills
of Pittsburg are buster than ever be-
fore. Railroad stocks are going up. It
is only a question of short time be-
fore the wave of prosperity will be
upon us.
Now is the time for storekeepers
to advertise" added Mr.. Patterson. He
is backing up his opinion with his
money. His company is spending
more than 100000 this month for ad-
vertising. In addition it has spent
$4,000 to have the 500 members OF
its selling force attend its school at
Dayton for three days, where they
were taught the new and up-to-date
ideas for their business.

MEXICAN MILITARY LEADERS
REAP HARVEST FROM EXPORTS
Prohibit Purchase of Supplies in

leo Brigadier General Devol, general
manager of the American Red Cross,
declared that while non-combatants
were suffering for want Of food mill
tary leaders Of both the Villa and
Carranza factions had reaped a har-
vest from export taxes on Mexican
grown food products shipped into the
United States.
Both General Hernandez and Gem
era1 Villa" said the report, a'prohtbit-
ed the purchase of food supplies in
Mexico for relief OF the Mexican peo-
pie, stating that any such supplies
must be purchased outside of Mexico.
The reason given is that the food in
Mexico is required to feed the Mext-
can soldiers. The real reason, in my
opinion, is that there Is a military
export tax, or, In other words, that q
charge on all expectations amounting
on the northern border to $400 to $500
for each car that crosses the border.
This money IS paid direct to the mil

We're being purchased for Monclova,
three carloads of corn could have
been purchased on the Mexican side
for Sc cents per bushe1; the actual
supply cost the Red Cross 81 cents
per bushel. The difference in the
