Lakeport, N. Hour little girl 8
years of age was in a debilitated, run
down condition and had a stubborn
cough so she was weak and ailing all
the time. Nothing helped her until
we tried Vinol. Then her appetite
increased and she is strong and well, and
l wish other parents of weak, delicate
children would try Vinol. GEO. A.

This is because Vinol contains the
tissue building, strengthening cod liver

Price Of Rags Drop
Into the Basement

San francisco, April THAT old
shirt which you discarded last week and
other castoff garments are figuring
largely in the financial world today.
The bottom has fallen out of the rag
market and junk dealers who were talk
ing about buying diamonds last week
are looking for ready money to pay
the rent. When the war broke out rags
doomed Wood pulp paper became
scarce and rags were needed in the pa.
per mills. Copper and iron junk was
in great demand for munitions works,
so the man who used to chant Any
rags, any bones, any bottles today
became affluent
Now the rag boom has burst. Mills,
knowing that spring would cause a big
influx of discarded flannels and other
rags ceased buying and waited for the
prices to fall They did.
The junk men had to sell for any
thing they could get because there are
no warehouses available for the indef-
mite storage of rags.
