STRENGTH
Positive-Convincing Proof

1t is all very we'll to make claims,
but can they be proven? We publish
the formula of Vinol to prove the
statements we make about it.
r Cod Liver and Beef Peptones, Iron ard
Manganese Peptonates, Iron and AM

Any doctor will tell you that the
ingredients of Vinol as published
above, combine the very elements
needed to make strength.
All weak, rundown, overworked
nervous men and women may prove
this at our expense.
There is nothing like Vinol to re-
store strength and vitality to feeble
old people, delicate children and all
persons who need more strength.
Try it. If you are not entirely sat-

The Germans lately recalled the Tooth
anniversary of the birth of Baron Won
Dras, who they say invented the bicy-
Gle. He was an engineer and mechanic,
and the popularity of his machine,
which was of the "hobby horse" type,
was that the front wheel, being NOV.
able, was used for steering. 1t hap
pens, however, that the bicycle was
not German invention, at all. but
French. a "velocipede, - invented by
Blanchard and Magunicr, on the same
principle as that OF Drais, though with.
out the steering arrangement, was de.

Flag Service at Union Meeting.

A flag service was well carried out
at the Baptist church Sunday evening,
following the Christian Endeavor
meeting, III which both churches unit
ed as is their custom on Sunday eve
nings.
The pupils of the public schools, led
by their teachers, marched in and after
saluting the flags, with which the front
of the church was tastefully decorat-
ed sang a song of the American flag.
Then Howard Osborn read an article
bearing on the origin of the flag we
hold so dear. Next followed stirring
address by the Baptist pastor, Rev.
l.. d.. Lawrence, who took for his top
ic, The Significance of the American
Flag, or what it stands for, holding
the close attention of the well filled
house as he emphasized the facts that
it stood for, the inalienable right of
all men to life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness, although there was a pc
Rod in our national history when about
four million were held in slavery by
us dishonored both the flag and the
constitution.
He predicted that as our flag stood
for what is true, what is pure, what is
right, for freedom and liberty alike
for all mankind, it was destined to be-
come the universal flag of the world
when it shall come under the rule of
the Prince of Peace.
