''Young man your father-in-
law tells me you have got into

give you some solid advice. 1t is
this: There are three sorts of
people you must not quarrel with
if you want to make successful
politician. First is the preacher,
because he has the floor, and you
must sit and take what he says.
Next is a woman. She can say
more in an hour than you can say

ill believe her, for against hers
YOUR word will he of no avail.
fhe third and most important is
the newspaper man. The news

about you that Will help you more
than all the speeches you can
make, or it can say all sorts of
things against you, and it will
cost you 50 much line to answer
them.'

A Scientific Discovery.

Kodol does for the stomach
that which it is unable to do for
itself, even when but slightly dis
ordered or over loaded. Kodol
supplies the natural juices of di-
gestion and does the work of the
stomach, relaxing the nervous
tension. while the infiamed mus
cles of that organ are allowed to
rest and heal. Kodol digests
what YOU eat and enables the
stomach and digestive organs to
transform all food into rich, red
blood. Jagoe & Co.
