AN lD!OTIC BLUNDER.
Bod les of Colombia Government
Troops Fight Each Other.

New York, Jan. 16.-News of a serious
mistake in which forces of the govern
ment troops fought another body of
government soldiers, thinking that it
was composed of Colombian revolution
lists, has been brought to Colon, Colon
bia, by the Colombian warship General
Pinzon, cables the correspondent of the
Herald at that place. The mistake hap
pened in the vicinity of Dibullo, near
Rio Hacha, and it resulted in 1S men be-
ing Killed and SO wounded.
Captain Merritt of the General Pinzon
says that that vessel landed four hum
bred men in Dibullo to drive back the
insurgents. The revolutionists retreated
toward Rio Hacha when the government
troops advanced. 1t was decided to di-
vide the government force into two
bodies in order to capture the rebels
One of these met the rebels and after a
sharp, engagement the insurgents re-

of these juices. With the body fatigued
and continually in action, the blood is drawn
away from the digestive organs, hence the
digestive fluids cannot be supplied. Natur-
ally this leaves lot of undigested food in
the stomach that is not only useless but
harmful. Now what is to be done?
1t must be digested. A little stimulant
might help it temporarily, but that makes
the next meal still more difficult to digest,
as 1t draws on the digestive juices unnatur-
ally and soon exhausts them. The only cor
rect, common sense way of treating these
cases is to furnish substitute, which must,
in order to be effectual, contain exactly the
same elements in exactly the same proper
tions as the natural digestive fluids
The one preparation which can be abso-
lutely proven to meet these requirements is
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It is not an expert
ment at your expense but the result of ex-
periments at our expense. 1t is not mere
stimulant to aid digestion, but is itself
combination of all the digestants and actu-
ally digests the food by its own individual
powers of action without any aid whatever
from the digestive organs. 1t will digest
food even in bottle under proper condi-
tions, temperature, etc, SO it certainly
can't help having the same action in the
stomach

The NatlOnaI Disease.


If there is any disease entitled to such a
distinction it is certainly dyspepsia 1t is
safe to say that not one person in ten enjoys
the blessings of perfect digestion, strange
though it may seem. Why is this?
Digestion is a slow process by which
nature transforms the food into state
suitable for nourishment for the body. The
time required varies from one to six hours
or more, according to the food. In the
hurry, worry and hustle, the striving for the
almighty dollar, the Goth century American
fails to give proper heed to natures de-
mands upon his time. He gets up in the
morning, bolts his breakfast without half
chewing it, washes it down with hot coffee
or other liquid and rushes OF to his business.
AT noon, it's rush home or to the lunch
counter, eat his lunch hastily while fatigued
and out Of BREATH then rush back to bust
ness. One of the greatest essentials to pro-
per digestion is the mastication or chewing
of food, to thoroughly mix it with saliva. II
this is not done, the food passes into the
stomach in condition which does not per-

juices there, even though there be sufficient

Anxious thoughts sometimes perplex
the wife who sees maternity before her.
If she is treading an untried path, she
sometimes frets herself into a nervous
condition which is injurious and pros
trating. If motherhood has already been
a painful experience she is apt to shrink
from the coming trial and by her very
mental anxiety increase the. possibility
of her suffering.
There is no cause for anxiety for those
prospective mothers who use DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. It tranquilizes
the nerves, encourages the appetite, in
duces refreshing sleep and produces
mental cheerfulness as well as physical
vigor. It gives strength and muscular
elasticity so that the baby's advent is
practically painless. It is the best tonic
for nursing mothers.
rI am so thankful for what DR.. Pierce's Fa-

the features of the Kansas Midwinter
exposition that begins at the Auditor

the display is to be made will be in
charge OF ]. c. Penny, city clerk OF Cha

our plan to have several small derrlckS
over miniature imitation gas and oil
wells, that in every respect are like the
real wells. The work in the various
stages of its advancement will be shown
and a miniature drill will be at work at
all times during the exposition that VIII
