Summer diet with all it's vegetables and unripe fruits, adds It's unstable influence to the depressing effects of hot weather, caus- ing a still greater decline in one strength and vitality.
 Ninety-nine of every one hundred peo- pie whose health and strength runs down in summer, allow their stomach or diges- tive organs to get out of order. This F easy enough-in fact. 1t Is hard to pre- vent without the use of some thoroughly reliable digesrant.
 Kodol after meals is not only a thor oughly reliable digestant. but it contains great tonic and reconstructive properties as we'll This, famous remedy enables the stomach and digestive organs to thor oughly digest, assimilate and contribute to the tissues all of the nourishment that Is contained in such food as may De eaten.

Why He Came to Lititz.

His reasons for selecting Lititz as his home were because of the educational ad- vantages offered by Linden Hall Semi nary. where he educated his two grand daughters, besides the Lititz springs were recommended to him as a panacea TOT rheumatism, with which he was at times A great sufferer, so that, after spending a summer there. he decided to adopt 1t as his home. The peaceful life Of a pas toral community appealed strongly to the rugged California pioneer, buffeted by misfortune and the nations ingratltude
 The General was originally Lutheran, and in his later years was not connected with any church: but his kindly ways and openherated hospitality endeared him to his Moravian neighbors, who regarded him as one of their foremost citizens.
 They were greatly shocked when news reached them from Washington of the Generals death. and all agreed that he died of a broken heart. This sad event took place in 1880 (June). just after Con gress had adjourned without granting his petition. The funeral was the most pre-

tentious ever held in Lititz. Among the friends of the IIeneral who were present on the occasion were General Fremont and Gen. H. T. Gibson, who spoke feel-' ingly and most forcibly about Sutter's services rendered to his country. his dis asters and the ingratitude of Congress in turning a deaf ear to his claims.
 The General admired the quaint cus- toms of the Moravians in the burial of their dead-the bodies of rich and poor placed side by side. and only a simple gravestone laid flat on top of the low mound. thus verifying the old adage: Death levels all. both great and small.' His sympathetic neighbors. in whose hearts he had endeared himself, made an exception in his case, and buried him in their cemetery. which Is located on the rising ground south of the church.
 The Sutter vault stands apart from tho other graves, and consists of a simple slab resting on a granite base. the whole lnclosed by a granite coping. The slabs besides containing the Sutter ccat-of- arms and eagle and shield. has the fol- lowing inscription on 1t:

Some complaint is being made here that the inspectors who conducted Mondays primary election did not comply strictly with the law in challenging voters. It is claimed that many votes were accepted that should have been rejected. The law requires that voters show their registra- tion certificate and this rule was not ob- served. Persons who had never paid their poll tax or received a certificate were al- low ed to vote by not being challenged and many lifelong Republicans managed to participate in the primary in the same way.
