A powerful engine cannot be run with
a weak boiler, and we can't keep up the
strain of an active life with a weak
stomach; neither can we stop the human
machine to make repairs. If the stomach
cannot digest enough food to keep the
body strong, such a preparation as Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure should be used. It digests
what you eat and it simply can't help
but do you good Gus. saur, 524 &. Doug

PhiIIppine Ferry.

The natives of Mindanao, in the
Philippine islands, have a novel way
of crossing the river in the rainy sea-
son when it is in food Instead of
working the ferry by means of rope
or sweep they harness it to a carribao,
or water buffalo, and drive" across
the river These water buffaloes are
psed as beasts of burden in the Phil
ippines, and the wealth or otherwise
of native chief is gagged by his neigh
bors by the number of carribao he
possesses. Resembling cow in all
but horns (Which in the case of the
carribao, are from four to five feet
aparD, these animals are equally at

THE HOUSEWIVES FRIEND.

Under the management of H. f..
Toliver and b. G.. Stockfeld, the
Globe Cabinet Company of Kansas

the old Grand Hotel building, for
the purpose of exhibiting the most
unique and labor saving device ever
invented for the housewife. For
the benefit of those who have not

ton will be given. The Cabinet

up but very little room, and con-
tains space for 80 pounds of flour,
35 pounds of cornmeal or Graham
-four, 30 pounds of sugar. Il gal
Ions of rice and oatmeal, 81 pounds
of coffee; and at the bottom is a
large bread or cake box and place
for kitchen knives and spoons. A
bread board is attached to the back
in a very neat manner. In front
there is very nice French plate
mirror door Is by 6 inches, and
back of the door are six receptacles
for spices
At the bottom of the flour and
meal bin there is sitter attached,
and to the coffee bin ia attached a
coffee mill. The sugar, rice and

which allows only the desired
amount to pass through.
The gentlemen come with the
best of references, and have been
taking a large number of orders
from the most care al purchasers.
