EUGENE
FIELDS
Views on Ambition and
Dyspepsia.

Dyspepsia" wrote Eugene Field,
soften incapacitates a man for endea-
vor and sometimes it extinguishes the
fire OF ambition" Field was dyspep-
tic himself. He knew what stomach
trouble means. Though a great man
despite this handicap he felt the
blighting affects of the disease all
his life. Thousands suffer similarly.
Their stomachs refuse to digest what
they eat. You -deriye no benefit from
eating alone. Your food doesn't en-
ter the stomach in such form that it
can be assimilated into the system.
1t must first be dlgested.
A weak, tired or diseased stomach
can't perform the process Of digestion.
1t needs rest. If forced to work it
will grow constantly weaker, II il
gets rest 1t will soon grow strong again.
Such a preparation as Kodol Dyspep-
STA Cure will give it just such rest
and restore 1t to health. Kodol Dys-
pepsia Cure does the stomach's work.
1t digests what you eat. tits natures
own cure and positively never fails.
Don't diet. Dieting doesn't help but
hurts you. 1t is neither more nor less
than partial starvation. Starvation
never benefited anyone. II you take
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure you need suffer
the pangs neither OF indigestion nor Of
starvation. Equally good for children.
They often have dyspepsia, too.
II consider kodol Dyspepsia Cure the SUI
perior Of any preparation for the prevention
and cure of dyspepsia" writes Mrs. Geo. e.

GRAVE POSSIBILITIES.
How the Situation is Viewed in Con
greSS,

The opinion of such statesmen as Sena-
tors Cullom and Lodge and Representa-
tives Hit and Adams upon the present
so far as the interests of this country are
concerned, but that it contains possibilities
which may at any time demand the most
careful and serious attention of the govern
ment at Washington. These gentlemen, in
their informal talks with each other and
with persons who approach them upon the
subject, would view with gravity prolonged
and the British and Germans. That might
mean the setting up of a government to
succeed the Castro administration, certain
to be overthrown, which would be more
friendly perhaps to foreign interests than
TO those of the United States.
The suggestion has been made frequently
that the United States might be called upon
to offer friendly services in the way of me-
diation. Senator Cullom thinks that 1t is
Just as well to direct the efforts that are
being made in that direction toward The
Hague tribunal to allow this government
to place itself in a position where ii will
have to bear the dissatisfaction which al
Ways accompanies a reward. For this rea-
son he is inclined to look with some mis-
givings upon the activity of Minister
Bowen, who it is known is very anxious to
act as the arbiter of the dispute.
while nothing at present has occurred to
Justify such a fear" said Senator Cullom

easily take such turn as would force US

the claims are disputed in whole or In part

State Department Not Advised of Re

The State Department has not been ad-
