HOW TO GET STRONG
A Simple Remedy.

Whatever the cause, we want to say
to every person who needs strength,
you need Vinol, our delicious cod liver
and iron tonic without oil, as it is the
most efficient strength creator we
have in our store. Here is proof from
Dorchester, Mass
II don't know what we would do
without Vinol in nour family. | was
weak, nervous and rundown as the
result Of an operation, and Ninol re-
stored my strength. Then Grand
mother had a nervous breakdown,
and Vinol built her up and restored
her health and strength after every
thing else had failed. We have used
Vinol for 10 years in our family. and
would not be without it in the house.
Myrtle l.. llealy, Dorchester, Mass.
We believe in Vinol because We
know it Is a great strength creator
due to the extractiye medicinal ele
ments of fresh cod livers, without oil
combined with peptonate of iron and
beer peptone, all dissolved in pure
medicinal wine so we always return
the purchase money If Vinol fails t.
benefit those who buy it, VIM. l.

land: kilograms and cable dispatches
passing through the country; even
Dutch boats bearing mail from New
York to Holland are forced into Eng
fish ports by English war vessels and
the mails removed.
1t is openly stated in Parliament
that an Englishman has to buy an
American paper to get any reliable
war news. The English were kept mis-
informed of the Dardanelles campaign
for months and then told it had been
brought to a successful conclusion by
brilliant withdrawal without the
loss of man in embarking.' Not u
man was lost in embarking; but thous-
ands were lost in falling back TO the
shore. and probably 100000 during the
whole OF the successful" campaign.
OF all the noisy. meddling incompet-
ents, filled with false ideas, backed up
by poor Judgment, yet produced in the
present strife, England stands head
and shoulders above all competitors.
A stubborn race, filled with colossal
ignorance of the war situation, guided
by leaders with a comic opera idea of
war and lacking power to learn by bit
ter experience, the English if desert
ed by their dependencies Canada,
Australia, etc. would be as sorry a
spectacle as the world has witnessed.
And 1t is from this nation that most
of our war news comes and We accept
| it for fact fools that We are. They do
not know the facts and would not dare
to publish all of them ii they did A
large part of the war reports coming
from other European capitals passes
through England and is duly censored
before we get it. Consider all reports,
| therefore, with more than u grain of
allowance. Don't be duped by ma.
lignant censorship.
A very good idea of how the tide of
battle is running can be gained by
tracing on a map the battle lines of a
year ago and now News that the
! Germans were repulsed while storm
| ing fort four miles from Nerdun us
J ually omits to state how the Germans
moved their battle line over six miles
to get near enough to storm the fort.
That interesting fact is deleted by the
censor and therefore does not get into
print. Odd isn't it, how report
states that the Germans were expelled
after storming a second line of trench
es and omits to state that they
stormed and held the first line.
OF such is our war news, and until
we can get something more reliable
than censored reports it is safe to re.
fain from showing too much PARTISAN
ship. We may find our present posi-
ton hard to explain five years from
now.-Paul w. Johnson in Randolph
Herald and News.

War News.

Be not too certain concerning what
you read in the papers. Especially
does the foregoing apply to war news.
We of America. with our boosted
claim of being a race. Of discriminating
thinkers are all too ready TO have our
opinions formed for us by the authors
of what little current press matter we
read. The average American family
reads a daily paper; usually the same
one and only one every day. How
natural it is that the reader should
fall in line with the opinions of the
editors Of that paper. He sees the
same phrases of the same question pre-
sented similarly day after day He
comes TO believe the deductions drawn
from the facts stated are not TO be
| doubted. He argues to himself that
| the editors know more about the ques-
ton than he does and are therefore
better able to draw correct conclus-
| ions.
1t is perhaps true that the editor is
| better informed, but the conclusions
he draws are not always the result OF
| this superior information. If the fl
nancial powers behind him have re
Gently subscribed a few hundred
! thousands to war loan he is rather
likely to "toot' for the borrowers in
| order to be sure of good dividend on
the investment. This is only one OF
the many causes of newspaper mis-
| direction.
But let us return to the war news.

but always the loss OF the Teutons is
stupendous.
| Some time ago the Russians took
the Turkish stronghold, Erzerum
Petrograd Officially reported the cap
ture Of 10000 Turks. Each following
report stated a smaller number unit
Russia at last a month later admitted
that the number amounted to few
more than 10000. Slight error Of only
about 1000 per cent.
Turkish estimates Of the number Of
Russians lost are no more reliable
England to this day list the AudaciouI

French estimates Of the German losses
at Verdun total more than the whole
number of troops engaged.
Probably the reason why Teutoni
statements are not quite so unreliable
is largely because their opportunitie

GOOD WORK
FOR SICK WOMEN
The Woman's Medicine Has
Proved Its Worth.

When Lydia E. Pinkham's remedies

powers were doubted and had to be

the most beneficial effects from the use
of these medicines, their value has be-

the standard medicine for women.
