The Review advocates ]mvin.g Main Street, but are you anxious to have it paved with any pavement, especially at such a cost? Do we not want the best pavement for the lowest money and to get this, should not the figures be macle public in the regular way and then give all a chance to bid, giving the contract to the lowest bidder, with the iiest pave¬ ment'.'
Yours truly,
Elvin N. Edwards.

As the people object to the cost of the former and the latter is jioiiularly supjioseJ to be about twice i\;i expensive we do not know what the voters will choose; certainly not to appropriate a larger sum of money than asked before.

To the People of Freeport
All persons in PVeeport must hold thtmselves responsible for any weak¬ ness or sulfering cau.sed by old age, chrdnic coughs or colds, bronchitis, weak lungs, run-down conditions, stomach troubles, nervousness or jjoor blood when we are willing to sell thenj tho real cod liver preparation Vinol. and return the money i*" it doea not benefit.
The reason Vinol is-so ."Mccessful in restoring health and creating strength is because it contains in addition to tonic iron all the medicinal elements of cod liver oil actually taken from fresh cod's livers, Lut without oil or grease to upset the stomach and retard ts work.
Unlike old-fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions, it ia deliciously pahat- able, agreeable to the weakest stom¬ ach, therefore, unequalled as • strength creator ard tonic rectirstruct- or.
It is because we know ao well of what Vjnvl is made that wa ask every run-down, nervous, debil¬ itated, aged or weak person in Free- port, and »*very person sufTering from stubborn colds, hang ing-on cougha, bronchitis or incipient consumption to try Vinol on our guarantee.
