Spittinq on Sidewalks.

Most villages and cities have ordinances
prohibiting splitting in the street cars and
public buildings, but Springfield, Mass,
has taken step forward and prohibited
splitting either upon sidewalks, cross
walks, or footways in any public street.

to the postoffice and see how our side
walks are covered with the splitting Of
many men, we wish our village had an
ordinance including splitting upon the
sidewalks, says a brother editor. We
realize that the enforcement of such an
ordinance is wholly dependent upon
public sentiment, and yet, the passing of
such law would be an important move
in campaign of education in which the
public will learn more fully the danger
of contagion from skirts dragging along
over the sputum from consumptives in
streets, stairways and in the dust from
such sources being inhaled wherever
people congregate.

No MORE SUFFERING.

If you are troubled with indigestion
get a bottle of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure and
see how quickly it will cure you. Geo.
A. Thomson, of Spencer, Ia, says: "Have
had dyspepsia for 90 years. My case was
almost helpless. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
was recommended and | used a 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 getting 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 indigestion or dys-
pepsia should use it." Sold by milford
