FROM A WELL-KNOWN DRUGGIST
To Whom It May Concern:
i Or late there has been a good deal
Of discussion in regard to advertised
medicines and their value. We want
ko say to every man, woman and child
in this vicinity that the most valuable
reparation of cod liver oil, the best
Ionic reconstructor, health restorer and
trecgth-creator we have ever sold ia
our store is Vinol.
Vinol is not a patent medicine; it
contains no injurious drugs, and it act
ually does contain all of the medicinal
curative elements of cod liver oil, taken
from fresh cods' livers, but without a
drop of oil, and is delicious to the
tas'.
Vinol is recognized throughout the
world as the greatest strength-creator
for old people, weak, sickly women,
children, nursing mothers, and after
a severe sickness.
Vinol cures hacking coughs, chronic
colds, bronchitis and all throat and
lung troubles. Unequalled to create
an appetite, and make those who are
too thin, fat, rosy and healthy.
Vinol is sold on a positive guarantee.
Call and get a Vinol booklet.

the etl'ects of Injuries receivedduring the
afternoon when he was struck by a fal
ling tree. Dungey, for more than a
month, had beeu engaged Bt cutting
wood near Champocg and late Thursday
afternoon was caught by a falling tree
and sull'ered a broken lojr and other ser
ious injuries. The deceased is survived

Dungey, ot this city.
That the young ludie? are goinp to avail
themselves of the privih giM o the leap
year is show n by the fact that a number
of young women ol this l.ica are con
templating the givingofaleiip year party
in the Armory on the L'Oth ol this month.
Invitations are now being pi inted, and
there is a ppW mtid chance tor bashful
vouug men. The usual order will be
reversed with a vengeance, (or it is the
intention of the young women to pay all
expenses of the affair, ai d the males
will be required to range themselves
along the walls of the Armory and wait
until they are asked to dnce. Those
giving the party style themselves the
"Bashful Girls," but any other name
would probably be ua appropriate under
the circumstances.

It's Not a Question of Profit
This January Clearance Sale of ours. We want to reduce our stocks for invoicing to the very lowest notch. Many
lines we are glad to reduce at the expense of all profit we ask only cost. Other lines like Pictures, Games,
Blocks, Toy Books, Fancy Goods, Jewelry, Silverware, Etc. what we call unseasonable goods goods which
take up the room we need for new lines already purchased and on the way -these lines we don't ask even
cost for; we would rather have half their value and the room they occupy.
On staple lines the goods you buy every day the reduction runs from 1 0 to 20 per cent. Only a few
lines the prices of which are controlled by the manufacturers such as Patent Medicines, Photographic Papers,
Waterman Fountain Pens, Etc. that we are not permitted to cut have not been reduced. On everything else we
save you in many instances the dealer's profit and in no instance less than 1 0 per cent.
