A Scientific Discovery.

Kodol does for the stomach that which
it is unable to do for itself, even when
but slightly disordered or overloaded.
Kodol supplies the natural juices of di-
gestion and does the work of the stom-
ach, relaxing the nervous tension, while
the inflamed muscles 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. o. r. Long.

2jO,OOO Cold, Homeless, Starv-
ing.

In Macedonia during the past
few months one hundred and fifty
villages have been pillaged and
burnt, some sixty thousand per-
sons have been killed, countless
women have been outraged.
Twenty-Five thousand have fled
to Bulgaria. Two hundred and
fifty thousand have fled to the
mountains.
The snow now covers these
lofty peaks and has concealed the
berries and leaves upon which the
starving refugees were striving
to subsist.
Their condition beggars des-
cription. British correspondents,
consular reports and private ad-
vices agree in their statements of
little children found dead, while
grass and bits of bark still in
their mouths told the terrible
story of their starvation, wan
dering in the mountains with
their mothers, who had fled from
their burning homes. These peo.
pie + not heather, but they
are Christians; they are perse.
cuted by the Turks because of
their Christianity. The Lord has

1t Is probably more. This sum includes the
sons OF officers. who must spend proper
! ticnately more than the private soldiers.
At the same time the standard of Living
among the military is more expensive from
| year to year.
Germany is a much richer nation than II
was a Few years ago. and all classes are
living more e~xtravagantly than in the past
The military class especially Is SPENDING
much more. Many of the officers are club
men. and in the best clubs gambling Is
common.
Indeed. 1t Is said that some of the ole
families of Germany have been ruined by
the play Of their sons, who belong to the
army.
Germany has undoubtedly the best trained
soldiers of Europe.
The whole nation belongs to the army
and the country is a vast military camp.
There are military clubs in every village
and a constant drilling goes on In every
province. According to law every able
bodied man must spend seven years in the
army.
1t Is not possible to send a substitute,
ard this is SO of rich and poor, of noble
and peasant.
There are some who get of on account
OF undersize or delicate physique and some
because they are the sole bread winner
OF the family. but as a rule every German
belongs to the army until he is 40 years
OF age. and can be called out at almost
airy time.
There are over 800. 900 new recruits each
year. and the drilling which goes on every
where makes 1t SO that 100000 soldiers
can be called to the support of tho Kaiser

can be called out in case Of the invasion

ENORMOUS FORCE WORKED

The most of this enormous force is such
that 1t can be worked as one machine.
Everything is prepared to feed # and
move it from place to place.
The Government has control Of the rail-

7 roads n has ID military nnss, ~ UseFs

The German frontier has q total length Of
4.5'o miles. and 1t must guard It all. It has
s43 miles to fortify against Russia, "a miles
and and 81 miles against Holland.
1t divides fits frontier defenses into ten
great fortress districts. zach Of which has
Its own organizations and troops. It has
all together seventeen fortified places
which serve as camps n nineteen othe,
fortresses. "
The fortresses are all connected By I'M.
derground telegraphs. and there are mill
tary railroads from the chief military CEN
tiers to the frontier.
The Government has 100. 900 horses in the
army. and it could double or treble this
number IN time Of war. I nave seen the
cavalry at the maneuvers. Tho horses are
wonderful.
They are trained 80 that they keep Der

take so many steps to the minute and
march in perfect time with one another.
AMERICANS AND
THE GERMAN ARMY.
The Germans are very proud Of tbe,r
soldiers. and the common people, generally.
do not object to military service. II does
their sons good, and they are proud Of
having them in the army.
They do not like emigration, on the
ground that IT takes away so many SOL
diers. and the German-American who re-
turns here has to be careful as to what
his military record has been.
We have a treaty with Germany which
provides that such men shall be treated as
American citizens. but this treaty IL not
always regarded.
1 am told that scores Of German-Amen-
cans who have come here have been warned
to leave the country within eight days and
that some have been arrested and fined be-
cause they had left without performing
military service.
According to the German law. every boy
at is must serve in the army.
The records of birth are carefully kept.
and the names Of those reaching Il arc
published from year. to year.
If there Is no record of their deaths and
they do not appear fines are assessed
against them, and If these are not paid they
are liable TO Imprisonment.
Many a baby thus recorded has been
taken to the United States with his par
ents and become an American citizen, and
