proof from Dorchester. Mass.:-

without Vinol in our family. ! was
weak, nervous and rundown as the
result of an operation, and Vinol re-
stored my strength. Then Grand
mother had a nervous breakdown, and
Vinol built her up and restored her
health and strength after everything
else had failed. We have used Vinol
for 13 years in our family, and would
not be without it in the house."
Myrtle L. Healy, Dorchester Mass.
We believe in Vinol because we
know it is a great strength creator
due to the extractive medicinal ele-
ments of fresh cod livers, without oil.

Girls With Beautiful Faces
OF Graceful Figures

American girls have a worldwide
reputation for beauty, but, at the same
time, there are girls in our cities who
possess neither beauty of face nor
form, because in these instances they
suffer from nervousness, the result of
disorders of tho womanly organism.
At regular intervals they suffer so
much that their strength leaves them
they are so prostrated that it takes days
for them to recover their strength. OF
course, such periodic distress has its
bad effect on the nervous system. The
withered and drawn faces, the dark
circles and crows feet about the eyes.
the straight figure without those
curves which lend so much to feminine
beauty are the unmistakable signs of
womanly disorders.
When girl becomes woman, when
. woman becomes mother, when a
woman passes through the changes OF
middle life, are the three periods OF
life when health and strength are most
needed to withstand the pain and
distress often caused by severe organic
disturbances.
At these critical times women are
best fortified by the use of DR.: Pierce:

Readfield has no high school and a
large number of it's pupils Of that
grade attend the seminary at Kent's
Hill, the average number for the year
being about 35 in attendance upon that
school although about 18 other Of it's
pupils attend high schools in other
places. There is some feeling on the
part Of the parents because the SEM
mary charges a registration fee Of 50
per term for each student which must
be paid by his parents or guardian.
This makes quite an extra tax upon
some families which send three pupils
to that school as the total amount Of
registration fee for the three would
be s27 for the year. This objection
has been met in part by the school
officials who give a scholarship Of 81
each for the benefit of these pupils
which reduces the registration to 81
each per term for pupils of two or
more in number coming from the same
family although a family sending one
pupil is required to pay So for regis
tration. The general feeling is that
this registration fee is excessive: that
the towns pupils should not pay any
registration fee: and If a fee is to be
paid at all by the towns pupils, 1t
should not be more than 81, the
amount charged by the seminary up to
within a few years ago, and that all
pupils should pay the same sum re-
gardless of whether one, two. or three
went from the same family. This reg
istration fee has been a bone of con-
! tention between the townspeople ana
the school for some time but the So
luton of the difficulty is apparently
no nearer than it was when the ol1n-
culty first arose.

Wright are much pleased to see him
