a Weak
StOm1aCh

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 a 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 fulneBs and bloating from
which some people suffer after meals.
Absolutely cures indigestion.

A Soldiers Anneal.

A member of the Epworth League
who has spent three years in the ar
my and is now doing service in the
Philippines, in letter to his pastor,
Rev. Nelson D. Sweeny, of Fenton,
H., and printed in the National Adj
vocate, makes the following appeal:
In the name of God and sacred
humanity, use your influence
against the reinstatement of the ac-
cursed canteen. Of all the curses
that ever disgraced the nation, the
canteen in the army stands preemi-
nent. If choose to l dare not tell
you what this canteen really is.
Some of the public presses, whose
editors and publishers never spent
tive hours in an army post in their
lives, prattle a great deal about the
soldiers club. Even some of the
chaplains who are making an alli-
ance with He'll, tell all about the
good qualities of the canteen when
under the supervision of army of
ffcials. l served in Camp Thomas
(Ga.), Camp Hamilton (Ky), and
Fort Leavenworth (Kan.), where
there were scores of canteens, and
at Camp Hamilton was told that
could work in the canteen or go to
the guardhouse So l worked as
canteen clerk nearly three months.
l served five different posts in Cuba
and again was forced into the can
teen to work about eight weeks. l
have been where there were can
teens in Fort Columbus N. Y, in
China, and in Manila, and if the
canteen possesses one single good
quality, | have never found out
what it is"

Certainly one of the. greatest enc
mics of Germany is the misuse of
alcohol. A healthy man needs no
such stimulant, and to give it to
children, which is often done, is alb
solute1y wicked. -Von Moltke.
That some men live long in spite
of moderate drinking, no more
proves the practice safe and health
full than the fact that some soldiers
who fought through all Napoleon's
wars are atill alive, proves fighting
to be vocation conducive to lonss
gevity. Horace Greeley.
Thousands of men breathe, move
and live-pass off the stage of life
and are heard no more. Why? They
did not particle of good in the
world and none were blessed by
them; none could point to them as
the instruments of their redemption.
not line they wrote, not a word
they spoke could be recalled, and so
they perished; their light went out
in the darkness and they were not
remembered more than the insects
of yesterday.
Strong minded young man, will
you hearken to me when l tell you
that the first drink you may take,
may be the means of making you so
weak that you will henceforth be a

Men and women who realize the
true import of life, its full significance,
its awful responsibilities, its capacil lies
for usefulness, for pure joy, gladess
and happiness, and also the depths of
misery and remorse, which a wrong
course may entail-these enlightened
souls do not follow the foolish crowd
and waste their lives in idleness and
folly. No, they strain every nerve In
the race for life. A high ideal of life
nerves them to self-denial and noble
action. The light which lighteth
every man which cometh into the
world Is not obscure to their vision
not los. sight of under the delusive
forms of pleasure which hide it from
the sight of others. They have the
love and the true elixer of life-that
God gives this great gift for a great
purpose-they honor and serve Him,
to be living epistles of Him known
and read of all men. In fulfilling this
grand design, with His irhty
help, they attain to the supreme end
for which they were brought into this
world. They live not for themselves,
but for others, and in doing so attain
the greatest happiness which this life
is capable of realizing.

FREE RURAL DELIVERY.
Continuance Of the Service Depends
on Good Roads.

Continuance of the Service Depends
on Good Roads.
In the forthcoming report Of Super
intendent Machin Of the free delivery
service there will be an extended dis
cussion of the necessity Of good roads
In the extension and maintenance of
the service. Heretofore 1t has been re-
ouired that in the establishment Of the
service first consideration should be
given to the condition of the roads. 1t
has developed that inspectors have only
specifically considered this question.
Recent official inquiries disclose the
fact that a portion Of the roads OF more
than 1000 of the 4,500 routes now in
operation requires some repairs. While
the roads in the southwestern states, as
q rule, are in good condition there are
sections where repairs are regarded as
essential in order that an uninterrupt-
ed service may prevail during all the
wear. Several months ago announce
ment was made that there were routes
In Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, the
Dakotas and Iowa where the service
would be discontinued unless repairs
and improvements reported to the de-
partment as necessary were made. In
most of these cases the warning of the
department has been needed. 1t Is evil
dent, however, in several instances that
no serious consideration has been given
to the announcement Of the postmaster
general in this connection.
In such cases the department Is ad-
vising road supervisors and other in
terested officials that the lack of care
given to the roads covered by rural
routes will, If continued, endanger the
permanency of the service. In discuss
ing this question today Superintendent
Machln expressed the opinion that ru-
raj delivery would eventually solve the
question of good roads.

OF running the graded school. We learn that

ever, az concession that one representative

This community is some what exercised as
70 the management of our graded school. and
our people are so completely In the power Of
the Cotton Mill that but little hope Of a salts.
factory solution ofthe difference is In sight.
Our people may be all wrong, but at least a
portion OF them think that they ought to have
voice in the matter of choosing trustees,
and that their wishes might at least receive
consideration.
As We understand, the objection is not per-
sonally to any trustee or to any teacher, for
they are as good as can be found in the city.
bot they do object to the mill electing all the
board. The people living In the different
wards think that they ought to be allowed
bhe right to elect members from their res
pective wards. Under normal condition 1t
II probable that such reasonable and fair
privileges would not be denied to any people.

Good Road. and Farm Values.

While it Is true that statesmen, fnan-
ciers and other citizens Of the Empire
State are perfectly aware Of the ad-
vantages which would accrue from the
possession of smooth and permanent
roads, it Is equally certain that there Is
need Of substantial argument and DEM
onstration in the matter among resi-
dents of the rural districts, says the
New York Sun. Such residents, natu'
rally enough, vigorously oppose the I'm
position of additional taxes for i'm
provements which, they declare, would
benefit rich people more Immediately
than others. Most farmers overlook
the fact that better highways would
enable them to draw heavier loads
than they are able to draw now, would
entail less wear and tear upon their
wagons, would save much time In
transportation and would considerably
increase the value of their farm prop
erty,

WISE WORDS.

One woman always pays more atten-
tion to what another woman has on
than to what she says.
The leather sling used by a boy to

them when they want to talk.

Before marriage man swears to
love; after marriage he loves to swear.
Age rarely brings US wisdom; about
the best it can do is to teach what par
ticular brand of folly we like best.
A marriage without love and a steam
boiler without a safety valve indicates
that some one is going to get blown up.
The cost of fuel on steam railroads
is about 10 per cent. of the operating
expenses, and on electric roads is about
5 per cent.
Marriage may not be a failure, but
good many married people are.
The more trust good woman puts
| in q man the more she will generally
find in him to trust.
It is a good thing for man to be
dissatisfied with himself IN everything
but his marriage.
No one can talk about his sickness
without becoming tiresome.
When women admit that woman
they dislike looks pretty they add,
"for her."
Americans are great people to manu-
facture burdens and carry them around
If you loaf around a store or office a
great deal remember that you are not
welcome.
A man never has as much trouble
with bis mother-in-law as his wife has
with hers.
Happy are they who look before they
marry, and overlook afterward.
Nothing 80 enhances the value of a
thing as the difficulty in obtaining it.
Some men stand on principle and
some others probably would Il they
had it to stand on.
Every woman knows that she talks
too much, but what she doesn't know
is a remedy for it.
