Continuing to be thankful from last week I will ask pardon for men tioning just one or two things more. There are my friends, true and tried, that are ever ready to stand by In time or need and trial. They are mot waiting till I am dead to say en- •couraging things to me, or to cast flowers along my pathway. I am thankful for friends. There are my enemies, too. When they hare—about me and*the public have found it out, they have built my reputation for right God bless •our enemies. I thank God for the English language—pure, plastic, ex pressive English, the grammar of which Is so exceedingly Blmple that It has been described as a grammar less tongue. The mind can con ceive no thought that cannot be ex pressed In simple English. Little did Bartholdi think when he con ceived "Liberty Lighting the World,” that he was Illustrating a potent truth. Miss Liberty will go on “lighting the world” through the medium of her beautiful and expres sive language, till ehe has spread her Influence to earth’s remotest hounds. It seems to be God's chosen language. ' For through It Christian ity has triumphed In the strongholds ■ot Ignorance and superstition, has It Is the language of two of the greatest nations (but one people) that are engaged In clvilzlng and Christianizing benighted hordes od the far side of the sea and In educat ing and unifying heterogeneous mil lions on the other and must.

By our process the oil, having no value either as a medicine or food, is separated from the medicinal elements and thrown away. Unlike old-fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions, Vinol is deliciously palatable, agreeable to the weakest stom ach, and therefore unequaled as a body builder and strength creator for old people, puny children, weak, run-down men and women, after sickness, and for all pulmonary diseases. Everything: Vinol contains is named on the label.
