CHILDREN. IF YOU HA.VJBB ANY THIS WILL INTBRBST YOU. "So many little boys and girls come into our store who are weak, thin-leg ged and hollow-cheeked," said Mr. Porterfield of the firm of Fout & Por terfield, our well known druggists. "It seems a shame to allow them to remain so, for they will grow up into weak, sickly and nervous men and wo men, without the vitality to work or enjoy life." "If," continued Mr. Porterfield, "the fathers and mothers of such children would believe what we say of Vinol, we would see a great difference in the appearance of the younger generation of this city. You know Vinol is not a patent medicine, and is just the tonic growing children need. It will make for them good, healthy flesh, sound bone, hard muscle and rich, red blood. "True, Vinol is a cod liver oil prep aration, but it does not contain a drop of oil, or any bad tasting feature. It is so delicious that all children love it, yet it actually does contain all the medicinal curative elements found in fresh cods' livers, and is the most wholesome and best medicine for chil dren we ever sold. "We have many letters from, grateful mothers whose children owe their health and even lift, to Vinol. The fol lowing letter from Mrs. C. Allen of 'New Bedford, Mass., tells what Vinol did for her children. She writes: "With two puny, ailing children, I was very much worried, and did not know what to do to create strength for them and to have them gain flesh. I tried almost everything, and as a last resort Vinol, and the benefit from that was great in a very short time. They are rapidly gaining flesh and strength, and I am satisfied Vinol will do as much for other children." It is because we know what Vinol will do that we guarantee if it fails to make your children well, rtigge^ and rosy, to refund your money. Fdut & Porterfield, druggists. In pursunnoo of lnw I, M. 8.

A Syracuse Man Oalned International Passe From His Baa«ue* to Widows. Hon. Alfred A. Hewlett of Syracuse is a wealthy genial old gentleman and has many warm friends in the north west. He has been a very successful business man and is held in high esteem by all who know him. Four years ago his wife died after they had lived hap pily together sixty years, and two years ago he invited a dozen or fifteen of his life long lady friends to his pleasant home to celebrate his birthday. He en tertained them so well that others asked why they "nad not been invited, and the result was that last year he had made the same high runs, 65—C. 134 widows at his birthday party. The event was so novel that the papers generally described the event, and one of the con sequences is described by The Minneap olis Journal is the following item: A year ago Alfred A. Howlett of Syr acuse, N. Y., a rich widower, aged 82, conceived the brilliant but dangerous idea of giving a birthday banquet to 134 widows. Mr. Howlett carried out this plan and at once leaped into a fame that soon became international. There was hardly a newspaper in the country that did not take the matter up. Mr. Howlett is now the most "propos ed-to" man living. Widows from alio ver the known world leaped to the conclu sion that he wanted a wife, and they were willing to sacrifice themselves to fill the place. "It looks to me," said Mp Howlett last week, "as though I have added con siderably to the gaiety of nations. There are letters here from every part of the earth I ever heard of except China. I haven't got a proposal from a Chinese woman, but I may get it yet. She's probably learning English to do it in now. I haven't read half of the letters, and of course I don't pretend to answer them. They come in all languages and some have even sent English translations of their own letters. There are fifteen from Germany, dozens from England, a few from France, Russia and Ireland and some from Italy, Africa, South Amerca, India, Holland, etc. Now do you know what I intend to do with all these letters? I hate to see good litera ture wasted, so I am going to have them all pasted into an immense kcrap book called "The Book of Widows" and leave it to the historical association." This incident shows what good adver tising will do. Of course, Mr. Howlett did not intend to advertise, but it work ed that way. He didn't want a widow in fact, he didn't want to marry at all. He simply planned to give the local widows a good time and did so. The avalanche of widows that descended on him from all over the planet has taken his breath away, and he announces that there wilT be no more widow feasts in Syracuse so far as he is concerned. The wholesale way in which Mr. How lett took up the widow problem w&s his salvation. Banquetting 134 'widotyft*r* Safety! Banqueting one widow—^ Danger! And the most and vital danger. Mr. Howlett was very wise. JUNIOR BILLIARDISTS. A tournament for junior billiardists in the city was opened at the Broadway parlors last night under the manage ment of C. C. Peterson.
