MOTHER SUPERIOR
 ROSARY HILL HOME
Tells How vinoI Restores Strength and Vitality to the Weak, Worn-Out Ones in Her Charge.

Rosary Hill Home, Flaw thorne, N. Y. -"I have been at work among the sick and poor for nearly eighteen years, and whenever 1 have used Vinol for run down, weak or emaciated patients, they have been visibly benefited by it. One patient, a young woman, was so weak and i'll she could hardly creep to my door for aid, and was leaning on friends arm. 1 supplied Vinol to her liberally and in month when she returned to thank me hardly recognized her. She was strong, her color charming and her cheeks rounded out. These words are uttered from my heart, in order that more people may know about Vinol, as there is nothing makes me happier in the world than to relieve the sick. "- Mother M. ALPHoNsA LATHRoP, o. s. D., Hawthorne, NY.
 Such disinterested and reliable testi- mony should convince everyone of the merits of Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron tonic to build up health and strength for all weakened and nervous conditions, whether caused from over- work. worry or chronic coughs and colds. If Vinol fails to benefit we return your money.

The motive of the telephone bust
ness in private hands is wrong, works
a hardship on the people in poor serV-
ice at high rates, and on the employees
in poor wages and working cOndi-
lions. The Chicago Telephone Co. in
1907 used the financial panic as an
excuse and made large reductions IN
the operating force, which resulted IN
Door service and increased work for
the employees retained. Large saw
ings were thereby effected, and In
1908 the company took from their
maintenance and depreciation fund
S4.5OO,OOO and capitalized same, the
possessor of % IL shares became
the possessor of 81 shares Of stock
without any investment of money. In.
1914 the Chicago Telephone Co. is
using the war as an excuse, and has
made reductions in working force, re-
SUItlnS IN poorer service anu tICA cas-
ed work for employees retainedj and
no doubt this company will be able to
capitalize the economies effected at
later date.
Compare this with the Chicago
water system, where the city is
spending thousands Of dollars making
extensions and improvements
throughout the winter to keep the
employees at work The Chicago wa
ter system is owned and operated by
the city.
