AWeak
Stomach
Indigestion Is often caused by over
eating. An eminent authority says
the harm done thus exceeds that from
the excessive use of alcohol. Eat all
the good food you want but don’t over
load the stomach. A weak stomach
may refuse to digest what you eat.
Then you need a good digestant like
Kodol, which digests your food with
out the stomach’s aid. This rest and
the wholesome tonics Kodol contains
soon restore health. Dieting unneces
sary. Kodol quickly relieves the feel
ing of fulness and bloating from
which some people suffer after meals.
Absolutely cures indigestion.
Kodol Nature's Tonic.

In the election in this state in
1890 the Democrats carried three
counties —Calumet, Lincoln and
Ozaukee. The Republican ma
jority in the state was 102,612. In
1900 four counties went Democrat
ic. These were Calumet, Dodge,
Ozaukee and Jefferson. McKinley’s
plurality in the state in 1900 was
106,597.
The Worst Form
Multitudes are singing the praises
of Kodol, the new discovery which
is making so many sick people well
and weak people strong by digest
ing what they eat, by cleansing and
sweetening the stomach and by
transforming their food into the
kind of pure, rich, red blood that
makes you feel good all over. Mrs.
Cranfill of Troy, I. T., writes: For
a number of years I was troubled
with indigestion and dyspepsia
which grew into the worst form.
Finally I was induced to use Kodol
and after using four bottles I am
entirely cured. I heartily recom
mend Kodol to all sufferers from in
digestion and dyspepsia. Take a
dose after meals. It digests what
you eat. R. S. Freeman & Son.
Ilot milk and coffee disguise the

Natural Anxiety.
Mothers regard approaching win

cold so easily. No disease costs
more little lives than croup. It’s
attack is so sudden that the sufferer
is often beyond human aid before
the doctor arrives. Such cases yield

A DOMESTIC DIFFICULTY.
flrhe Solution Was Original Though
the Result Was Unhandy.
“Every time I tell this story,” a
bright society matron remarked,
“somebody accuses me of making it
lip, but it is a true story nevertheless.
“Up in the Virginia mountains David
And I took a long walk to explore the
wild country road near our hotel.
Away up on the rough mountain side
was a little cabin, and as I have a
most fervent human interest in the
home life of all peoples remote from
cities I proposed that we visit the cab
in, with the wayfarers’ usual pretext,
to ask for a drink of water. In the
one room of she small house were
usual furnishings, a few chairs, many
dogs lying about, guns on the wall, a
high bed in each corner and a homely
table spread with homely crockery in
the center of the household picture. A
plain little woman, worn and aged,
but very neat in calico frock and ging
ham apron, met us at the door and
asked us in. while one of the rough
boys lounging on the porch was dis
patched to the spring for fresh water.
“Instead of the usual mountaineer's
open fireplace, with iron crane and
kettles, was a surprising arrangement
of a cooking stove mounted on a kitch
en table. My glance reverted to this
curious sight so often that our moun
tain hostess seemed constrained to ex
plain.
“ ‘You uns ain’t used to seein’ cook
stoves fixed up that way, I reckon,’
she said apologetically. ‘Pap, he got
the cook stove down in town way las’
May, and he dldn’ think ’bout the
stovepipe, and he didn’ git ’nuff to
reach up to that there hole in the
chimbly, so we uns jes’ h’isted the
cook stove up on that there table till
he gits time to go to town and git
some more stovepipe. ’Tain’t handy to
climb up on a cheer to cook, and I
wish to the land pap’d hurry hisself
and git to town arter that there stove
pipe. It’d be a heap handier to hev
that there cook stove down on the
groun’.’
“Of course ‘we uns’ agreed with the
good woman that her complaint was
well based, but we praised her clever
ness and originality in utilizing the
kitchen table. Probably not one wo
man in 10,000,000 would have ever sug
gested that way out of the domestic
difficulty.”—Detroit Free Press.

Seamy Side of Life.
The lines of dissipation were ill
concealed by rouge and powder,
and she was singing a ribald song
in the side room of a Houston street
saloon, when a younger girl entered
with a man of more than twice her
age, says the New York Times.
The wayward girl’s voice left her,
as gazed at the fair songster
holding a glass of whiskey in her
hand. She got up, went quietly
over to the table, and said to the
man: '
“You go, or I’ll have you arrest
ed for bringing a child in here, and
don’t you ever dare to follow this
baby again.”
The than slunk away.
“Now you go home, dearie,”
begged the older girl, with a tremor
in her voice, “and be a good girl.
You don’t want to be like me. Its
worse’ll death to be bad. Come, I’ll
see you to the door.”
And the two went out.

A drunkard’s Demonstration,” in
Exeter Hall, London, early in Feb

the personal direction of General
Booth, by which it proposes to re

as many as possible of the 122,419
public houses in Great Britain and
hold meetings therein, despite land

Is It All a Delusion?
Bonfort’s Wine and Spirit Circu
lar, in its editorial correspondence
from “The Whiskey Center,’’ Cin
cinnati, has a few remarks upon the
recent national organization of the
trade and the reasons therefor. It
is worth reading. Bonfort says:
Prohibition continues to raise its
ugly head to strike, if possible, a
death blow to bur business. It re
mains with us to meet this attack
and drive the enemy from our path.
Only by intelligent coalition of our
forces can we insure success in the
fight that is before us. It is our
province to teach the people the dif
ference between temperance (which
everyone, be he whisky man or not,
advocates) and Prohibition. The
latter is the-growth of a diseased,
warped mind, while the former em
anates from cool, sound judgment
based on experience. * A ‘ *
Therefore, it is infinitely the right
thing for us to fight Prohibition, be
cause it is not only detrimental to
our business, but is the worst form
of intemperance.
A strong, concerted action is ex
actly what is needed, and for this
action there is no better headquar
ters than the National Wholesale
Liquor Dealers’ Association.
Of course this is all wrong, for
“Prohibition don’t prohibit,” you
know, “just as much liquor is sold
under Prohibition as under a free
run regime!”
But one’s deadly enemies are not
usually picked from neutrals or
friends.—New Voice,
It was twenty-one years ago May
Ist, that prohibition was adopted in
Kansas. Many towns celebrated
the event. Governor Stanley said:
“Prohibition in Kansas has been
marked by very beneficial results,
and this is apparent to anyone who
will travel through Kansas and
through any of the license states
that may be selected and note the
difference in the types of young
men in the two states. There are
thousands of young men in Kansas
who never saw a saloon, and will
avoid it, if for no other reason, be
cause it is under the ban of the law.
There are thousands of men who
would probably patronize the saloon
if sanctioned by law, but who shun
it since the law brands it as an Ish
maelite among the legitimate enter
prises of the community.”
