The fears OF DR.. Chaplin that smallpox
Is TO be more prevalent than II has been
ND TO date appear TO be very well founded
There is now one case under surveii-
lance. every condition OF which favors
the theory OF smallpox.
The patient is Theodore c. Stade,
ieweler in the employ of Flint Blood &
Co, OF 81 Point street.
IT was IN this shop that Patrick Keilty
worked. whose wife and two children are
now at the pest house.
IL was also I'm that shop that Horace
s. Richardson was employed.
Mr.. Richardson's attack came about
week after Mrs Keity was sent 10 the
hospital.
Last Monday every person in this par
ticular jewelry shop was vaccinated, Mr..
Stade being among that number.
He was probably exposed prior 10 that
day, for yesterday he was Obliged 10
leave work.

which these representatives have met
them, have assured them that they VIII

The citizens committee agreed 10 do all
I'm it's power 10 bring about an increase or

was used by the citizens committee that

ANOTHER CONFERENCE.
This morning there was a further con-

| citizens of prominence and I'm whom tho

| of wages from the agents 10 ensure the
| acceptance by all hands of the project

| At 9a5 the conference divided. the
| agents remaining in the mayors office at
| city hall, and the sub committee of cti-
| zens adjoining to another committee room
| TO discuss the matter further. They would
not make any statement OF what they
| had done.
Later the conference broke up fer good.
1t was stated that the following solution
had been reached: The operatives 10 re-
turn 10 work for the present at tho old
| schedule. with the understanding that n
| substantial advance be given by the mills
| as soon as possible under the conditions
| of the business.
The announcement OF the possible adj

| unofficial. however. The agents have is'
| sued the following statement:
ION assurance OF the committee of clti-
| zens that representatives of the Textile
| Council have agreed TO declare off the
| strike for an advance OF wages, these
| mills will be started again next week as

This statement is rendered necessary be-
| cause arrangements had been for a shut

There is a curious legend connected
with the bells Of Messingham church.
1t is said that long, long time ago
traveller was passing through Messing
ham when he noticed three men sitting
on a stile in the churchyard and say
ing. Come to church, Thompson; come
to church. Brown" and 50 on. Being
very much surprised. he asked what it
meant and was told that, having no
bells, they called folks to church in
this way. The traveller remarked that
it was Il pity 50 fine church should
be without bells and at the same time
asked the men If they could make
three for the church, promising to pay
for them himself.
They undertook to do this. They
were respectively n tinker, carpenter
and a shoemaker. When next the trav-
eler passed that way, he found the
three men ringing three bells which

mediate relief how many would neglect to
keep it constantly in the house?
You can go about your business and dis
regard a pain in any other part of the body.
But stomach trouble prostrates. The stOm-
ach supplies the entire system. If it fails
to perform its task these supplies are cut
off-and we cannot live without food. We
all know this, but haven't we fallen into the
error of assuming that, once swallowed, food
has accomplished the purpose for which 1T
was eaten? 1t hasn't, by any means. Until
it is properly digested the system cannot
assimilate it. 1t remains in the stomach
until it decomposes and might far better
not have been eaten at ALL. KOdol Dyspep-
STA Cure digests this food without aid from
the stomach and digests it as well as the
stomach itself could do the work. Through
its aid the food you have eaten Is reduced
to a form in which the system can aSS!mi-
late il and the body is built up while the
tired stomach rests.
The trouble with dyspeptics is that they're
starving. They have eaten but their food
is undigested and consequently does them

no good. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure not only
relieves the patients sufferings in such
cases but also removes the cause of suffer-
ing. 1t relieves by digesting the patients
food and enabling his system to transform
it into bone and muscle, blood and brain.
l cures by allowing the stomach rest until
it is restored to its natural condition.
If the stomach is out of order not an
organ of the body escapes some correspond
ing arrangement. There are few diseases
which cannot be traced directly to the stom-
ach. If the stomach is weak the body is
weak. If the stomach is strong, the entire
body is strong.
None of US want to suffer from indigestion
or dyspepsia but the hurry and nervous
tension OF the times have made them the
commonest complaints of the generation.
Often we eat too fast, too soon after or too
shortly before violent physical exercise or
severe mental strain. Sometimes we are too
busy to eat at all at the proper time and over
load our stomachs when the opportunity
comes For awhile the abused organ stands
the strain. Finally it collapses.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1902-01-29

You can best succeed in life with a good
digestion. A strong stomach makes vigor-
Gus man. The feeling of langOur. the dull
headache, the sensation of fullness, pains
and tenderness in the region of the stomach,
fiatulence, belching and vomiting, the
thousand and one symptoms of indigestion
or other stomach trouble of which most OF
US know more or less, unfit both body and
mi nd for hard work or continuous applica-
tion. You wouldn't suffer like that II you
knew a certain remedy, would you? Yet
such a remedy exists kOdol Dyspepsia
Cure quickly relieves all these symptoms,
and, by giving the stomach entire rest,
speedily cures the disease itself.
Even among the happy posseSsors of COM
paratively sound stomachs there are Few
who are not at least occasional sufferers.
Irregular hours, mild dissipation, excessive
use of tobacco, hasty eating or overhaul
gence in favorite dish frequently produce
as unpleasant though not as lasting results
as the most serious Of chronic cases. II
