Gently sailed hence for France. has been released
from the custody into which he was ordered by
the French consul general but has been immsdi-
ately rearrested this time a formal charge
which puts him IN the hands of the United States
authorities
United States District Judge De Haven ruled
that the treaty under which Leberne was impris-
oned for an offence committed shiphoard, by or
der of the French consul general Is valid. but

that the clause of the treaty authorizing the
imperative only during the vssseIs stay

Take Care Of the Stomach.

The man or woman whose digestion is
perfect and whose stomach performs it's
every function is never sick. Kodol
cleanses, puri6es and sweetens the
stomach and cures positively and per-
manently all stomach troubles, indiRes-
ton and dyspepsia. 1t is the wonderful
reconstructive tonic that is making go
many eick people we'll and weak people
strong by conveying to their bodies all Of
the nourishment in the food they eat.
Rev. J. H. Holiaday, Of Holiday, Miss,
writes: "Kodol has cured me. I con-
slider 1t the best remedy ever used for
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. I was
given up by physicians. Kodol saved
my life." Take it after meals. Brow.

the system OF all poison and putrid mat.
ter and do it SO gently that one enjoys

the liver. Cure niliousness, torpid liver
