Monaco, Pa.-"My little boy, who is
the youngest of three, was weak,
nervous and tired all the time, so he
was most unfit at school, and nothing
seemed to help him. I learned of
Vinol and gave 1t to him. 1t has re-
stored his health and strength and
he has gained in weight" Mrs.

Vinol is constitutional cod liver and

900. 900 and $15.000,000 worth of busi-
ness a year by the Reed measure.
About forty Cincinnati mail order
houses will close.
The measure will affect the cooper
age. glass, label and other industries
and cause several thousand workers
in the Cincinnati district to seek new
employment
Kansas City is another point which
has supplied millions of dollars OF
alcoholic liquors to dry" territory.
The mail order houses have done
big business in Oklahoma, Kansas
and Colorado since those states went
dry. Now this business is to cease,
or be reduced to furtive boot-leg3ing.
Another curious angle of the stu
alton is the difficulty liquor firms are
having in obtaining new fire insur-
ance. Distilleries and like establish
ments In the past have been regarded
as very desirable business by fire in
surance companies, but the Reed act
will create what is called a moral
hazard, which is making the UNDER
writer's wary.

like advices are at hand from similar

The new federal bill forbi1s shjp-

states permit such shipments. Curl
