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
il is the most efficient strength crea-
tor we have in our store Here is proof
from Dorchester, Mass
Il don't know what we would do
without Vinol in our family. 1 as
weak, nervous and rundown as the
result of operation and Vinol re-
stored my strength. Then Grandmoth-
er had nervous breakdown, and vi
mol built her up and restored her
health and strength after everything
else had failed. We have used Vinol
for 10 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 great strength creator
due to the extractive medicinal ele-
ments of fresh coz iivers, without oil,
combined with peptonate of iron and
Leef peptone, all dissolved in pure
medicinal wine, so we always re-
turn the purchase monev if Vinol
fails to benefit those hwo buy 1t.

This is what Herbert Corey, the
famous war correspondent, perhaps
1.-THE best American observer of the
European war, wrote, some weeks
ago, about Guynemer, the first photo
OF whom is shown here.
| If you lived in France you would
know what Guynemer is. The picture
CT this slender boy from college is in
the illustrated magazines and in the
columns Of the daily papers and in
the windows of the shops. He is the
most celebrated airman in France
unless the most celebrated airman in
France is Navarro There is the
Navarro school of thought and the
Guynemer school of thought along
tie bouIevards. Partisans of the two
waggle their hands busily at each
other and shout and close the argu-
ment by drinking a health to the pair
Guynemer was the first French air
man to bring down five enemies. His
score now touches eight, and he has
done it all in four months. Navarro
has also brought down eight German
fiers, according to one county. An
ether method of computation only al
lows him credit for seven. 1t is this
that gives rise to the drinking shop
debates over the pair 1t is astonish-
ing how much energy can be wasted
over the Interpretation of facts which
have been set forth in the official
communique. An evidence of the
standing of the pair is that the rule of
anonymity has been waived by the
censor for both. France is following
their fight for supremacy with almost
breathless interest.
