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 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 stomaeh's aid. This rest and the wholesome tonics Kodol contains soon restore health. Dieting unneces- sary. Kodol quickly relieves the feel ing of fitness and bloating from which some people suffer after meals.

BLOOD MONEY"
British Chamber Of Shipping
Wants Payment Here Stopped.

London, Feb. 5.-At the annual meeting
OF the Chamber of Shipping OF the United
Kingdom today several points, interest
ing to the United States were raised.

ing and blood money" in the United

the British ambassador At Washington.
Lord Pauncefote, would succeed In in
ducing the United States 10 Introduce
legislation making "crimpng" a criminal
offence.
Regarding ship subsidies Col Ropner
said the United States would probably
PASS ship subsidy bill. with the result
that there would be rapid extension OF
the United States mercantile navy and
ksener competition. which would REQUIRE
oil the energy and enterprise OF British
ship owners To meet
The chamber unanimously passed a res
olution urging the British government To
make an effort 10 secure the exomption
or British ships from the payment of the
tonnage tax, levied at United States
ports, and use It's good Offices 10 induce
the United States pending further leRisla-
tion, 10 enforce the present Federal and

seamen and the payment OF blood mon
ey."
The president read letter from the
British consul at San Francisco, saying
that seamen are now obtainable without
blood money" but Col. Ropner explain-
ed that this was because there was al
ways a superabundance OF seamen dur
ing the first few months OF the year.
