ANCIENT
 F TORTURE
How it has Been Revived
 in Modern Times.

An ancient method of poisoning criminals was to force them to swal- low large quantities of bulls blood. Bulls blood is really no poison at all. Yet the prisoner usually died in agony. This was caused by the coagulation or hardening of the bulls blood in the stomach. The pressure of this solid mass on the heart, lungs and other vital organs almost always resulted fatally. That's just like indigestion. IT your food doesn't digest it remains in a hard lump in the stomach. Gases are formed which crowd and sometimes actually displace other organs. Many cases of supposed heart disease are due to indigestion. The pressure upon the lungs interferes with breathing. A dis ordered effects the whole body. Ky the use of such a preparation as KodOi Dyspepsia Cure all this trouble is removed. Before food can be assimi- lated into the system it must be re- duced to proper condition by the di- gestive fluids. If any of these fluids are lacking, perfect digestion is im- possible. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure sup plies the missing fluids. Stomach troubles can't be cured by dieting. The system demands both asufficiency l and a variety of food. You can't get we'll or stay we'll without it. KodOl | Dyspepsia Cure enables the stomach to take care of any kind of good food. It renders dieting unnecessary. 1t digests what you eat. In this way l it rests the stomach This rest soon restores the stomach to perfect health.
 Kodol Dyspepsia Cure helps the children too. Weak and sickly little ones thrive on it. It never fails.
 "During the last few years my stom. ach was in such condition that l couldn't retain the food 1 ate," writes Henry Williams of Boonville, Mo. 1.-TWO months ago commenced taking Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. A few bottles have cured me entirely l can now eat and enjoy anything want"

Judee Pitts writes Card.

Judge P. Fl. Pitts had a card in the local press of the. city, disclaiming that he had recommended Green Kornegay. the chairman of the Dallas County Re- publican Executive Committee. to the Board of R gl' trars as a suitable man to be registered under the new cons titution. Judge Pitts says that the report had been circulated that he had endorsed Korne- gay He says he does not know the ne- gro ahi he does not propose to recom- mcnd any negro for registration.
 Judge Pitts's card has had a fine ef- feet in deterring others from recommend ing negroes to the Board A quietus has been put on white men endorsing negroes in Dallas as suitable persons to be regis tered, and hereafter when a negro applies to the Board for registration he will have to stand or fall on his own merits. Good negroes can call on white men to say whe ther they are men of good character. and 1t will remain with those men to say whether they possess the proper qual- ifications to receive certificates. But no more active Republican negroes. like Green Kornt gay will receive. such en- dorsement at the hands of a white man in the county.
