The Stomach is the Man,

A weak stomach weakens the man,
because it cannot transform the food he
eats into nourishment. Health and
strength cannot be restored to any sick
man or weak woman without
first restoring health and strength to the
stomach. A weak stomach cannot di-
gest enough food to feed the tissues and
revive the tired and run down limbs and
organs of the body. Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure cleanses, purifies, sweetens and
strengthens the glands and membranes
of the stomach. and cures Indigestion,
dyspepsia and all stomach troubles. w.

DIXON WAITS ON GRAND JURY

Valves CommittaI and Demands an
Indictment
Jerry Dixon, the negro jailed recent
ly in connection with the car robbery
at the Central depot here, waived COM
initial trial and gave bond in the sum
of 5000 for his appearance at court.
Dixon's connection with the robbery
arose from the fact that he owned the
team of mules found under the rail-
road bridge at the scene of the car
breaking, but he explained that he
merely hired the team to Charles Nc
Tendon, and had no part in the affair
himself. McLendon is getting well of
the pistol wound given him by City
Marshal Feagin as he stood over the
pile of stolen meal in the railroad yards
here.
