HIGH SCHOOL GIRL
Run down, Weak and Neryous-Made
 Strong by VinoI


 For the benefit of New Britain school girls who zoverwork and get into highly nervous, weak and run down condition, we publish this let ! ter from Doris Coplier, of Forth Worth, Tex.,-'I go to the high school and take music lessons, and became rundown, weak and very nervous, so I could not do anything. I would shake all over and could have scream ed at times. and was really unfit to keep on with my studies Mother purchased a bottle of Vinol for me and within a week I was better, and In two weeks had gained five pounds and felt fine"
 It is the curative strengthening elements of the true cod liver ex- tract, aided by the blood-mak king, re- vltalizing effect of peptonate of iron and beef peptone, contained in Vinol, which made it so successful in build Ing up health and strength and over coming the nervous condition of Miss Coplier, and We ask every school girl In New Britain who is in a like con- dition to try Vinol on our guarantee to return their money if it fails to benefit.

LUSH MUST BUILD A NINE.
Fordham, Thus Far, Has Only Bat
 tery Men and Shortstop.

New York, Feb. 14-Regular prac- tice in baseball started at Fordham university today, when all the aspir- ants reported to Billy Lush, tho coach, in the gymnasium. The squad bids fair to be the biggest ever as sembled there. Every place in the infield and outfield except shortstop must me filled by new men this year. Jack Berrigan, the captain and short- stop, is the only fielding veteran still at school. The others who remain are all batterymen except Sharkey, who may play left field this spring.
 .Lush is facing a hard task He started his pitchers and catchers at work on Thursday, and is well sat isf1ed as regards battery material Most of his hopes for fielders lie in the former high school stars who are coming out. Among this number are Eustace and Fitzpatrick of Fordham Prep. Stall and McGinn of Boston English High, and Cantwell of Spring field High.
 What causes most worry, however, is the fact that all of these men are out for the infield, and the outfield's composition is a mystery as yet Last year it was the hitting power in the outfeld that gave Fordham it's record of forty-eight hits and thirty nine runs in it's three consecutive vic tories over West Point, Dartmouth, and Mount St. Joseph's.

JOHNSON WOULD PROTEST.
Tennis Champion Not in Accord With
 Plan Effecting Former Matches.

Los Angeles, Feb. 14.-Pacific coast tennis men will declare open warfare on the east if the National association ousts Maurice E. Mclaughlin and Thomas c. Bundy from the amateur ranks because they have become part ners in a sporting goods house in this city. William M. Johnson, tennis champion of the United States, is one who thinks that it would be an unjust move on the part of the national ten his body if that organization profes- sionalized Mclaughlin and Bundy "To my mind the accusation has been an unjust one throughout" said Johnson. Thomas C. Bundy of the new firm of Mclaughlin & Bundy,
 said: "Maury and I are not worrying
 at all about what the committee may
 do. I think there is little chance of
 so drastic action being taken. The ma-
 jority of the members of the commit tee are friends of both Maury and my self, and unless some new rule is adopted we cannot see how we can be affected"

The Bigger Victory Is
COnnolly's If COuzens Can
BE Kept In the Office

Oscar Marx has been elected for an
other term as mayor of Detroit.
Judge Connolly has been defeated.
But in defeat the purpose-the grea.
big purpose-of the Connolly candidacy
was realized.
Judge Connolly did not push himself
into the mayoralty race.
He was called to It.
He yielded on the side Of civic pride
and respect for the city in which he was
born.
He yielded as the father Of children.
He yielded because Of an interest in his
home city that would not let him decline;
that would not let miserable conditions
of law defiance and police despousm 60
on without having the light thrown on
them and with public declaration against
them
The objective declared for by Judge
Connolly in his announcement Of his can
didacy had been met weeks before cleo
ton.
He compelled the Marx administration
to make change in police commission
ers; to replace an incompetent man with
competent man; to dispIace a politician
and substitute a business man with some
capacity for organization; to replace toll
GRAFTON Of law defiance with law enforce
ment.
Those who know how sincere Judge
Connolly's purposes were as a candidate
know that he would have been willing 20
have stepped aside then and there.
He had already scored the only victory
he hoped for

The better man Of the candidate for
the mayoralty was defeated
II is unfortunate that this must always
be the case when the voters surrender
to their partisanship in local elections, no
matter how momentous the issues.
Marx was carried in by the heavy local
Republican majority and We will have to
submit
Conditions compelled from the admin
tration for us by Judge Connolly, are
greatly improved, if not as yet ideal but
The Times pins It's faith to Police Com
missioner Couzens as a man free enough
and earnest enough 70 keep On improving
conditions until they have become nearer
ideal
The election Of Marx is followed by The
possibility of Couzcns' resignation and
the appointment, Of the mayor campaign
manager, George Castor to the police
commiSsionership
The Times received this report few
days before election, but having been uu
able TO verify it, refrained, i'm piri' o
fairness, from publishing H. The Time
trusts it is not true.
Couzens must remain on the Job
The mayor promised Detroit that h,
would remain on the Job and there i- "a,
question but what many hundred, o
votes were given to Marx with the under
standing that he would retain hisneW po
lice commissioner
The police commissionership dIdn', d,
very we'll IN the hands Of one campaign
manager for Marx
1t is an office that Detroit wants kept
out ot politics
