GAINS SIX POUNDS
IN FOURTEEN DAYS
His Prolonged illness Was Caused
by Thin Blood

When your stomach rebels at food,
when you grow pale and sallow, lose
weight and strength and fail to get
any rest from your sleep. your blood
has lost it's tone and is thin and weak.
Whatever the cause Of tn illness
there can be no relief until the blood
is built up so that it can carry new
life and energy to every part of the
body.
a remedy that stops the decline in
health and rehabilitates the weakened
nerves and muscles will demonstrate
to the patient that anemia is being
overcome and that the rich, red blood
is furnishing strength to fight off
rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago and
other diseases to which the thin
blooded person is subject.

What You Need is VinOl

The reason we recommend Vinol so strongly for
such conditions is because it is nonsecret remedy
which contains Beef and Cod Liver Peptones, Iron
and Manganese Peptonates and Glycerophosphates,
the very elements needed to build up rundown
system and replace weakness with strength.

During digestion certain
kinds Of food containing pro-
teins, such as meat, ege
white, milk casein, wheat
gluten, ETC.. are split into
many different substances.
Some of these the body uses
to rebuild damaged or dead
tissues; some, however, are
not only useless and harm
full but in some cases actually
poisonous. Regular. thorough
bowel evacuation gets rid of
the latter. =,
Constipation permits stagna.
ton and absorption of these
poisons into the blood, with
injury to the whole body.
Taking castor oil, pills, salts,
mineral waters, ETC., in order
to force the bowels to move
does not-cannot cure con-
stipation but makes it
worse.
On the other hand Nujol
overcomes constipation and
brings about the habit of
easy, thorough bowel evac.
uation at regular intervals,
because Nujol is not a drug,
does not act like any drug.

STATE DECISION
OF RESIGNATION

Next Sunday is to be a memora-
BILE day at the Central Presbyter-
ian church. In the morning the
pastor, Rev. David A. Johnson.
will preach on THE New Era"
The name is taken from movement
in the Presbyterian church. but
the sermon will not be confined to
an explanation of this movement,
but rather to giving the member
ship of the chruCh and congrega-
ton a vision of the big things that
confront them. He will devote
some time to a discussion of the
responsibilities and opportunities
that belong especially to the Cen
trail Presbyterian church This
church has reputation of having
undertaken a good many things in
the interest of the community. but
the minister will open the eyes of
the congregation to a field of OPP
portunity compared with which
the undertakings of the past fade
into insignificanCe. And he will
also touch upon some of the big
things that are the especial task
of the church for the community
as d whole. 1t is expected that
there will be an unusually large
attendance at this service, especi-
ally as there are persistent ru-
mors that the pastor may offer his
resignation soon. 1t is thought

have learned through our recent eX-

propaganda spread in this country
was done through foreign profess
sors. This should not be allowed to
occur again
DR.. Crane spoke of the municipal
milk plant which is one of the
latest propositions taken up by
women She stated that the best
thing the women can do with their
suffrage is to take it as a means for
making all work which had been
done before, better. The good roads
were also proposed as a work for
the women. She explained how in
Michigan memorial roads are pro-
posed and how these will be carried
out, the women already being or
ganized to beautify the roadways
by planting trees and native shrubs
and flowers.
After her splendid address, DR..
Crane conducted an informal dis
cussion, members asking questions
about the various propositions
which are proposed for the atten-
ton of city welfare workers.
DR.. Crane, when asked as to the
advisability of the proposed Amer
icanization work, stated that she
believed this work should be done
through the schools. using them as
a center, rather than by going into
the home of the foreigners and try
ing to teach them there. A great
deal can be done through the chill
dren, she said. and she advocated
the use of the schools as a center
for the rest. She said it was best to
work with these people, rather than
