No More Suffering.

If you are troubled with Indigestion
get bottle of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
and see how quickly it will cure you.
Geo. A. Thomson, of Spencer, Iowa, says:
"Have had dyspepsia for twenty years.
My case was almost hopeless. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure was recommended and
i used few bottles of it, and it is the
only thing that has relieved me. Would
not be without it. Have doctored with
local physicians and also at Chicago, and
even went to Norway with hopes of get
ting some relief, but Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure is the only remedy that has done
me any good, and l heartily recommend
it." Every person suffering with indi-
gestion or dyspepsia should use it. Sold

Hold Your Potatoes.

Why should not the price of potatoes
go up before spring? When compared
with demand, the oversupply of the en-
tire country is not SO enormous. Thirty
three million bushels more than last
year, and nineteen million bushels more
than two years ago is the estimate
placed on the crop by pretty reliable au.
thorities. That is not so enormous after
all. Now with the price of wheat almost
at the prohibitive point for people of lit
tie means, and meat only for the table of
the wealthy, the great food product for
the poorer people must be potatoes, and
long before the winter is over there will
be thousands of people in the large cities
who will have to subsist on the cheap
est food they can get. Now if potatoes
happens to be this food, potatoes will be
in great demand. That should in n
short time bring up the price some.
Therefore, it will not be bad thing for
those who can to hold on to their potato
crop until toward spring. Trib-
unp.

Perhaps the president went out of his
way to air some pet theories in his mes
sage, but his recommendation of the
whipping post for wife heaters seems to
meet with warm public approval The
objection that it "tends to brutalize" no
more holds in the case of an inhuman
husband than in the case of an unruly
boy. 1t is obvious that a wife beater is
brutalized already and will be benefited
rather than injured or degraded by car
rying few exemplary welts upon his
bare back. j; is time that the "blue
hens chicken" received reinforcement.
If there is any sympathy to be distribut-
ed it should not be wasted on the beastly
rufiian for whom any kind of imprison-
ment is far too good, but should be re-
served for the bruised and tortured
woman who groans in anguish not only
on account of her physical decorations,
but because she is chained to such a
husband. 1t is by no means just that
such creature as he should be nursed
and coddled and fatted in transient i'm
prlSonment.
