Multitudes are singing the praises OF
Kodol, the new discovery which is max
ing so many sick people well and weak
people strong by digesting what they
eat, by cleansing and sweetening the
stomach and by transforming their food
into the kind of pure, rich, red blood
that makes you feel good all over. Mrs.

number of years was troubled with in-
digestion and dyspepsia which grew
into the worst form. Finally was In

.u,., Wa. The To1ve; Of babel I

How High Was the Tower Of HabeIs
The actual height at which the last
stone of that famous structure, the
Tower OF Babel, rested cannot, on &C
count of the remoteness Of the times at
which It is said to have existed, ever
become more than matter OF merest
conjecture. Herodotus, who lived about
LOO years after that great spiral way
to heaven" is said to have been at
tempted, says that he saw at Babylon
q structure consisting Of eight towers
raised one above another, each IS feet
in height, but whether this ruin was
the remains of the Tower Of Babel It
was even then impossible to ascertain.
Herodotus, usually infinitely exact In
his writing, leaves US in ignorance as
to how the upper level Of each of these
Is foot towers was reached from the
level below.
AS might be expected, even in tradl-
ton, a wide difference Of opinion exists
as to the height Of the tower. Most orr
entallsts maintain that God did not put
a stop to the work until the tower had
reached a height Of 10000 fathoms, or
about II miles. In Ceylonese tradition
1t Is said to have been as high as 10000
elephants, each standing one above the
other. st. Jerome asserts on the au-
thority of persons who had examined
the ruins that 1t did not reach height
exceeding four miles. Other state
ments are still more extravagant.

So the magician changed the mouse

In a few days she came back again

And the magician changed her to

Keeping the Head Clean.

Keeping the head perfectly clean Is
great aid to health. An exchange tells
of distinguished physician who, hav-
ing spent much Of his time at quaran-
tine, said that a person whose head
was thoroughly washed every day rare
ly took contagious diseases, but when
the hair was allowed to become dirty
and matted 1t was hardly possible to
escape infection. Many persons find
speedy relief for nervous headache by
washing the head thoroughly In weak
soda water. We have known cases al
most wholly cured In ten minutes, by
this simple remedy. A friend finds 1t
the greatest relief in case Of "rose
cold," the cold symptoms entirely leav-
ing the eyes after one thorough wash
ing OF the hair. The head should be
thoroughly dried afterward, and drafts
of air should be avoided for a little
while.
