My mother suffered long time from
distressing pains and general i'll health
due primarily to indigestion" says L.
w. Mo. 1.-TWO years ago got her to
try Kodol. She grew better at once
and now, at the age seventy-six, eats
anything she wants, remarking that she
fears no bad effects as she has her bot
tie of Kodol handy" Don't waste time
doctoring symptoms. Go after the
cause. If your scomach is sound your
health will be good. Kodol rests the
stomach and strengthens the body by
dgesting your food. 1t is natures own
tonic, A. @. Thornton.

Washington chemical engine also was
in service.
The furniture of the house and the
cows and pigs in the stable were re-
moved. but two horses were burned.

taneous combustion is supposed TO be
the cause.
Mr.. Carr complained to Chief Con-
way that while the firemen wrangled
his property was allowed to burn. Chief
Conway does not think that under the
circumstances he can take any action
in the matter.
