IT GIVES ONE A SPLENDID APPETITE. AND QUICKLY REBUILDS THE SYSTEM. We Will Refund the Price of Vlnollf ItFails. The worst part of sickness, frequent ly, is getting over it. Tbe patient's strength is depleted, bis system is generally demoralized, relapses are continually' feared, and naturally.
Tbe one thing to aid recovery is to give the patient that which will enable him to get strong, and at the same time give strength direct to the different organs of the body. Nothing will do this like Vlnol. It acts directly on the stomach, cre ates a healthy appetite, and enables the digestive organs to obtain the nec essary elements to increase the weight of the patient and to make new healthy flesh and muscle tissue and pure, rich, red blood. The following is a letter showing where Vinol was taken and did good after a case of sickness. It reads as follows "I wish to certify to the rery great benefit which has been derived from tha use of Vinol in my family.
My wife was very sick with the grippe and afterward was wholly run down. One bottle of Vinol places her on her feet in better condition than she had been before in six I heartily recommend and endorse it." IIesrt F. Bturtevxnt, 81 Huntington St, Brockton, Mass. Everything: that is in Vinol is plainly printed on the label of each package. We know Vinol Is a splendid preparation, and in many cases we have been able to see for our-selves the wonderful results it brings about.
Remember that we guarantee Vinol and refund the purchase money If you are not satisfied. HARRY. A. SLftDE, Pharmacist of Montp.ller South Ki katk rtA kings. Mrs.

The attitude of the presidents of the Pennsylvania coal companies, in refusing to heed any requests of the miners for a conference regarding -wages, is not con ducive to good feeling between employers and employed. It the miners have any grievance, or think they have, the atti tude of the companies will tend to inten sify it and increase the probability of a strike. There appears to be more riction.
between employers and employes in the coal mining industry than in any other. There are continual complaints, frequent differences and occasional strikes. And the public pays the bills. It is sometimes alleged that the companies are glad of an occasional strike as it gives them an fx cuse for raising the price of coal. Carnegie talked freely on his arrival in London.
As he is a party to the forma tion of the billion dollar steel trust it was natural that the British reporters should ask him to talk about them. "The man behind the trusts is just as important as ever," he said. "Consolidations are the -tendency of the age and will prove bene ficial. The chances of Andrew Carnegie, it he landed a penniless boy in New York would be as bright as in 1848, and be would have even a wider field." 'When asked whether the people of America would not be likely 'to pass stringent anti trust legislation, Mr. Carnegie said he did not think so.
Of course not. If he thought so he wonld not have entered the great combination. Past experience has shown him that there Is little to be feared from legislation. Anti-trust laws are passed by Congress and by the States. Many of them are defective, and those that might be effective fail because they are not executed.
Trusts are in the saddle and unless there is a great change the public can only wait and see what will be the result of trust method's. Prof. Wright, of Oberlin college, has just returned from Siberia and the result of his studies there is likely to prove interesting. The generally accepted view of geologist is that Siberia was covered with ice during the glacial period, but Prof. Wright is convinced that that is not so.
Me found no signs of ice south of the 56th degree. He found extensive evidences of a subsidence" of the earth's crust ever a large area, and the remains discovered In that tract show that water followed the subsidence, after the appearance of man, so that, for that portion of the earth's Surface, at least, there was a vertiable flood. He has also made a discovery regarding another disputed Biblical matter. It has generally been thought that the Israelites escaping from Egypt crossed the Bed sea at Suez. As there wera a million of them some skeptics have pointed out that, though tha waters may divide at that point, th division is not wide enough for a million people to cross in one night.
Prof. Wright has become convinced that they crossed about 20 miles north of SueTT At that point all the conditions exist that have been described, and when the winds blow the waters away a space about five miles wide is left bare. This would be sufficient for the passage of the Israelites and if the crossing was made at that place there is no room for skepticism regarding the story. 97tf MOBKIS VILLI MIXTUKK8. Mr.
