Their mak ers are afraid to prove their claims by telling what their medicines con tain. .The only way to be hone3t with the people Is to let then know what they are paying for. Here ia -the Vinol formula. When the doctor knows what a medicine contains, it ceases to be a "patent" medicine. R Cod Liver and Beef Peptones, Iron and Manganese Peptonates, Iron and Ammonium Citrate, Lime and Soda Glycerophosphates, Cascarin. Any doctor will tell you that the Ingredients of Vinol. as named above, will enrich the blood and banish ana mia and create strength. When the blood Is pure and rich, and red, the body Is strong and robust. You can prove this at our expen se because your money will be re turned if Vinol does not Improve your health. Em41 A.

This construction not on ly for its success upon labor, but the err life of labor Itself depends on this construction, this because 13, 000,000 men are employed In the manufacturing, plants of the United States today, of whom 6.200,000 are working on . war materials and sub sidiary industries alone. All of these men are threatened with forced shut downs and these shut downs are ab solutely Inevitable unless the ships are built. Even the trades directly manufacturing war supplies and the munitions plants themselves fact a limitation of their output. This is plain on Its face., for not only are the ' porta and docks Jammed with supplies for overseas, but there are. In the sea coast terminals Alon, more than 70,000 freight cars loaded with supplies for Europe, literally mountains of materials for which there is insufficient shipping ton nage.

Labor Vitally Interested. ''There is but one thing ahead a forced slow down in American fac tories until ships are built. The sit uation Is one In which not only the nation is vitally interested, bufone which strikes at Me very heart of labor itself. Interruptions to busi ness and consequent loss of earn ings to the employe will occur, or at least .production will b retarded with the same result until we have shipping adequate to the task of clearing the port congestion. For this reason then., the welfare of la bor both orgoniied and unorganlbed, to the extent of some 13,000,000 people now employed, is at stake in the shipyards. - "The coalless day. and the freight embargo have already had a tremen dous effect on labor throughout the country, and tho additional force of the coming netessry curtailment of raw materials Importation will slso fall heavily upon labor within the next few .weeks. It is only through shipyard labor that relief to labor throughout the nation can come. Therefore, uncalled for rtrikes 'not only threaten the safety of our armies in France, but the very heart of labor Itself through tho reduction In employment which is faced by millions of men not engag ed in shipyard work. For this rea son a shipyard. strike Is in effect a lockout aimed, at all labor In the country and threatens the very 'life of organized labor Itself. Much Depends on Yard Workers. "The pei'k lord requirement for shipyard workers will be 500,000 men.j On these men depend the ability of ; ; other labor to obtain steady employment. . In other words, If a group of shipyard workers tie up the shipyards, or fall to. Rive a full day's work, net only will the rs snlting stoppage of such man's work tie ! up from l'lfteen to twenty other yard workers and throw them out of employment but this stoppage will also. affect the direct employment of the 6.000,000 war vorkers through out the country. .Because of this fact the labor leaders of the country, including) Samuel Gompers, presi dent of the American Federation of Labor, have entered Into an agree ment with the navy department, the f lipping board: and the Emergency Fleet corporation for the prevention of strikes,; an agreement which has been kept 1 with scrupulous care bv the signers, and enforced by a board, the very personnel of which insures fairness. I wish therefore, now that the .president has personally taken actions in the carpenters' strike, to point out to the employes and to the members of organized labor through out the country that their own Inter ests are vitally at stake in this ship ping matter, ; and that the whole force of their mighty Influence must be their own protection to, keep the shipyards : running full time and block any attempt to paralyze the nation's business through strikes and trust ' that labor adjustment board Id deal fairly with them." i GERMANY TO MAKE h i i ACTnir.rrrnoT lamj a utu ui a vr a v (Continued from page 1) the most sanguinary of the war, and they will be the most intense yet eeen;?

Toasts Are llejirri. "Our Sons" was the toast respond- eu-io.-oy wuuam Conley. and he bandied it in a manner, that would make a boy want to be a man. which he said would be his own choice, and a second choice would be that of a sc Idler on the front, but that those at home have the dutjr of making it comfortable for the boys at the front or In the training camps. Young Holt, son of Dr. Holt, when called upon to respond to "Our Fa thers," did so In no uncertain lan guage, coupling with it the duty of father to son, to give him a sound body, sound mind and the right en vironments. His applause was well merited. ; When Governor Wlthyeombo vi.i Introduced the audience arose to Its feet and applauded. The f governor told a humorous story which made his hearers laugh, but ; when he began to tell of the men under arms; of the 20.000 Ore gon troops, either over there, or pre paring to go. and depicted the areat sacrifice of Utile Belgium, which, hi said, alone saved the United States from G agairi were brought to a realization or some or, the tremendous responrl bili tea upon the United States.

After the governor's address Rev. G. F.

Some were from France others from training camns in different parts of America. "Keep the home Fires Burning" was very effectively sung by Lela Belie Tartar, which made a most pleasing close to an enjoyable evening. 1 Ix-tter Rent Soldiers.

There was not a single dissenting voice, so far as the plan was concerned." ; .... It the house of commons repudi ated the policy for which he was re sponsible, in which he believed the afetr of the conntry depended. Mr, Lloyd George declared, he would quit office. His one regret would be that he had not .greater strength and ability to placo at the disposal of his country atlts gravest hour. ! Any one who examines closely the events of 1916 and 191?. said the premier, would find plenty of argu ment for some change In the ma chinery In order vo effect a greater concentration tbun hsd hitherto been achieved. In that direction lh allied governments fcad decided that it was necessary to set no some cen tral bodv to co-ordinate the strategy of the allies. At the last conference at Versailles It was decided to extend tne powers of that body. Policy Is Aaroed. The premier explained, that he was hampered In discussing the ac tion taken at Versailles by a resolu tion passed at that conference by th military representatives and the aor ernments that It was not desirable to give any information regarding tne general plan arrived at. Mr. Llovd Georj'e thought, how ever, that he could make clear wher the controversy had arisen and asked ror tne judrmetn 01 the house on me action of the vrnment. "The general pitmMMe laid down at Versailles was agreed to whole heartedly by everybody," he said. "There was no confic as regarded the policy, but only a to th method of glvingv effect to It. There was agreement as to the policy; there was agreement that there must Iff central authority to exercise supreme direction of that policy; there- was agreement thatl there "must be cen tral authority to exercise supreme direction of that policy; there was agreement that authority must be in the allied authority, -and there wai complete jrgreement that authority snouid hive executive power.

Lawsona attorney, at the request of his client, asked for' a postponement when the case came to trial, but -Judge: Duffy ruled ad versely. The attorney then refused to offer testimony for the reason that his client could not appear and Judge Duffy awarded $ 100, the full amount asked, to the plaintiff. In the opinion Justice Bean saya: ; "It is the policy of the law to give a party to an action his day In ourt. or a sufficient opportunity toitnake any defense claimed by him.
