Do You Enjoy
What You Eat 2

You can eat whatever and whenever you
like if you take Kodol. By the use Of this
remedy disordered digestion and diseased
stomachs are so completely restored to
health, and the full performance of their
functions naturally, that such foods as would
tie one into a double-bow-knot are eaten
without even ''rumbling" and with posi-
tive pleasure and enjoyment. And what Is
more these foods are assimilated and
transformed into the kind of nutriment that
is appropriated by the blood and tissues.
Kodcl is the only digestant or combination
Of digestants that will digest all classes Of
food. In addition to this fact, it contains, in
assimilative form, the greatest known tonic
and reconstructive properties.

he said nothing to brighten It. He thought
of supper-they had spoken of cinnamon

out the usual thrill. What was the mat

seemed no outlook to nfe-one thing was
as good as another.

He could not speak. but he seized his
mothers hand and kissed II up to her lace

from his stomach; again the future
stretched rosily vague before him In
happy dreams he did the honors Of the
rathole to a sweet. shy guest.
In the morning he applied himself to
his note of apology; his sister ruled the
lines on beautiful sheet of paper with a
curly gold 'P' at the top and he bent to
his task with extended tongue and lines
between his eyes. He carried her the note

A mild tolerance grew on Richard. If
dancing must be, better the two-step than
anything else. Any one with a firm inten-
ton Of keeping the time and strong arm
can drag a girl through it very accepta-
bly,. 1t was Dicky's custom to hurl HIM
self at the colored bunch nearest him,
seize a Sabine, so to speak, and plunge
into the dance. He had his eye on Louise
Hetherington. a large, Plump girl, with
a tremendous braid OF hair. She was a
size too big for the class, but everybody
liked to dance with her, for she knew
how, and piloted her diminutive partners
with great skill. But she had been snap

a dance. He stared at her curiously. For

nection with them, he discovered that
those motions were pretty.
