The Foundation of Health.

Nourishment is the foundation of health
-life-strength. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
is the one great medicine that enables the
stomach and digestive organs to digest,
assimilate aud transform all foods into
the kind of blood that nourishes the
nerves and feeds the tissues. Kodol lays
the foundation for health. Nature does
the rest. Indigestion, Dyspepsia, and all
disorders of the stomach and digestive
organs are cured by the use of Kodol.

SUICIDE IN SIBERIA.
When Once Wish to Die Is AM
nOunced There Is No Such Thing
as Taking 1t Back.

L know of case where a man, after
violent quarrel with his five sons, an
nounced aloud his wish to die. The
next morning he thought better of it
and ret1acted his words; but-so was
informed, in all seriousness-the re-
vengeful spirits shortly afterward in
ficted the hoof disease on his herd. and
took away three of his sons, one after
another, says writer in Harper's.
Usually, however, the man who has
proclaimed his wish to die remains
flrm until the end. l met, in 1895. at the
Anui fair in the Kolyma country, a
man by the name of Katik, who said
that he wanted to get rid of the
troubles of this world.
He had no apparent illness, but his
zest for life had completely vanished,
and he intended to start for the land
OF his forefathers. He was as eager
for death as if it meant for him a
pleasant journey to a distant but very
interesting country
The vicinity of the Russian fort was
no place for the fulfllment of his wish.
so he had to delay it for couple of
months; but when next l met Kaf1k's
wife, early in the fall, she was already
a widow.
She told me the details of her hus-
bands death in very simple way. He
was strangled with a lasso. She held
his head in her lap, and two of his sons
pulled the ends of the rope.
katik's wife told me also that he was
cheerful to the last, and even ioked
the very moment his face was being
covered with the hood of the death
coat to prevent those present from see
ing his last struggle.

It has taken three wears to obtain ths consent of the British and Canadlan EOv- smmsntS to adjust the bOundard dispute on thls basis.
 It Is understood that the treaty has been drawn up after thorough consultation with the leading members of the senate of both parties, the administration desiring to do everything possible In advance to secure It's ratification.
 The commission proposed Is curious h composition, consisting of an equal mum Der Of members upon each side, without an umrlrs CT odd man to cast the deciding vote.
