Indigestion is often caused by over
eating. An eminent authority says
the harm done thus exceeds that from
the excessive use of alcohol. Eat all
the good food you want but don't over-
load the stomach. A weak stomach
may refuse to digest what you eat.
Then you need . good digestant like
Kodol, which digests your food With.
out the stomach's aid. This rest and
the wholesome tonics Kodol contains
soon restore health. Dieting unneces-
sary. Kodol quickly relieves the feel
ing OF fulness and bloating from
which some people suffer after meals.
Absolutely cures indigestion.

little poem that will Be read with great
interest by N~orfolKtans. 1T = entitled
But We Forget" and is from the pen
of Mrs. Henry VI. Alden, formerly Mrs.
Ada Foster Murray, IF Norfolk, who
was married a few days 40 TO Mr..
Alden, editor-in-chief Of all the Harper
publications.
The publication is as follows:
SO many tender words end true
We meant to say. dear I've, to you:
SO mar things we meant to do.
But We forget.
The busy days were full Of care:
The long night fell all unaware;
You passed beyond loves pleading
prayer,
WhiIe We forgot.
Now evermOTe through heart and brain
There breathes an unLertonc Of pain.
Though what has been should be again,
We would forgat.
We feel. we know. that there must be
Beyond the veil Of mystery
Some place where love tan clearly see
And not forget.

Some who long to WOO and wed you.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, November 29.-The profes-
sional traders who practically monopo-
lized today's narrow stock market bid
up Louisville on professed belief that
the dividend Is to be increased and
Brooklyn Rapid transit on the snowinS
OF increased net earnings Cor October
These movements served to overcome
the heaviest OF the opening trading.
Commission houses with Washington
connections circulated alleged verbatim
extracts from the Presidents foTthcom
ing message OF a much milder tone on
the subject of trusts than some OF the
recent alleged forecasts circulated by
bear traders, but the market failed 20
develop nat owing to a general
desire to see the bank statement before
making commitments. There was "A
spIlling out of stocks when the state
ment appeared but supporting orders
were met and the market rallied and
closed steady. The decrease in cash
was less than anticipated from the
known movements OF money but the in
crease in loans was the dlsquietIng fea-
ture. 1t is said that interior banks have
been calling loans placed IN this market

usual this season. The accommodatIona
then offered. however. have been largely
recalled Interior loans in New York
were estimated at one time at ninety
10 n hundred million dollars and ar.
said to be now less than thirty millions
This weeks loan item Of the banks also
undoubtedly represents preparations b.
corporations TO make December First
disbursements. These payments are
likely TO be returned TO the local money
market after their receipts by stock and
bondholders. The payment In London
on Monday for the stocks of consti-
tuent companies IN the shipping com-
bine also marks the satisfaction or

TO hold up the sterling exchange rate
here.

BATCH OF POLICEMEN ACCUSED.
Charges To Be Preferred Against All of
Stephenson's Plain Clothes Men

Assistant District Attorney Morgan
nounced last night that charges of neglect of
duty are TO be preferred at Police Headquarters
against several more policemen in addition to
those already accused. The moves will be
in accordance with District Attorney Jerome's
oft announced plan of having the department
charges precede criminal ones.
Mr. Morgan said that time this week
charg- +; will be flied against Sergeant John H
Shells. John Dwyer, ex-wardrnan of the West
Thirtieth-st station, and Patrolmen Darcy
Schoenick and Coke. The last three named were
plain clothes men, in the West Thirtieth-st
station and all were indicted with Shells and
Dwyer, for alleged neglect of duty in failing to
close disorderly house in the Tenderloin. The
cases were outcome of the prosecution of
Wardman Glennon, who was convicted of
neglect of duty.
Mr.. Morgan is also authority for the statement
that charges of like will be preferred
against Patrolman James A. Devanney.
Charges against Captain Cannon will also be
filed this week. and it is probable also that all
the plain clothes men, who worked under the
direction Of Captain Stephenson viii be placed
