No More Stomach Troubles.

All stomach trouble is removed by
use of Kodol Dyspepsia cure. It gives
the stomach perfect rest by digesting
what you eat without the stomach's aid.
The food builds up the body, the rest
restores the stomach to health. You
don't have to diet yourself when taking
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. j. D. Erskine
of Allenville, Mich, says: It suffered
Heartburn and Stomach trouble for
some time. My sister-in-law has had
the same trouble n was not able to
eat for six weeks. She lived entirely on
warm water. After taking two bottles
Of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure she was en-
tirely cured. She now eats heartily and
is in good health. I am glad to say
Kodol gave me instant relief" Sold by

THE B. 4. DUKE MYSTERY.
Grand Jury Has Something to Do with
Bond Case.

Brodie l. Duke, Etty-eight years old,
said TO be one of the well known to-
bacco manufacturers OF that name, was
taken from h psychopathic ward OF
Bellevue Hospital early last night by
Detectives Fogarty and Flay, of the
Central office. The party used an auto
mobile cab and their destination was
not known to the hospital authorities.
Duke was admitted to the hospital
secretly at s o'clock on Friday night.
He was committed t o h institution
by Justice wyatt. sitting as a magis-
trate in Special Sessions Court. It Is
understood that the complainant in the
case was Dukes son. Particulars con-
corning the sons identity are unknown.
Detectives Fogarty and Fiay were ac-
companied TO the hospital yesterday
afternoon by three unknown men.
whose appearance indicated them to be
prosperous business or professional
men, but concerning whom nothing
would be revealed by. the detectives
or the hospital officials.
Acting superintendent Richard de-
cl:ned to discuss the case or TO give any
information not contained in the req
ords, which revealed only the foregoing
facts.
1t is known that among Mr.. Dukes
effects when he was received on Friday
afternoon in the hospital was $4,000 in
bonds. Paul FranzeI. the property clerk
o. the hospital, is said to have been
summoned to appear yesterday after
noon before the grand jury with the
Duke effects. 1t is further said that
Franzel did appear before the grand
jury, and that that body decided
something that a to do with the
bonds.

VISITING THE SCHOOLS.
DIR. Mcmillan Began His Round Yes
terday of Visiting the County
SchOols-AH school Children Must
be Vaccinated by January 18th.

At a meeting of the county board
it vas decided, or account of the
prevalence of smallpox in this and ad-
joining ciunties, hat no child
would be admitted to the public
schools of New Hanover county
after January 10th who had not
been successfully vaccinated. At
the present time. and when the
board reached the bow decision,
there was very little smallpox
in this county. but the board of
education thought it best to adopt
the dreaded disease.
DR.. Mcmillan, county s~uperinten-
lent of health, will start out today
and visit the various schools through
out the county so that all the chill
dren who wish to avail themselves of
the Dportunity a get vacclnated.
On yesterday afternoon DR.. Mcmillan
went to the Delgado school and vac-
cihated about twenty-five. 1t was
feared when the board Of education
first decided to require all school
children to be vaccinated that it might
result seriously in some sections Of
the county. but all opposition seems
to have subsidized and the parents are
looking at the matter from a common
sense point of view. The rule is 60
ing to be rigidly enforced and no
doubt in all uture sessions no child
will be allowed to enter school who
has not been vaccinated. The lead
ing physicians over the state nave de-
clared time and again tina smallpox
would become more general each year
unless the people were vaccinated.
and from the record of the increase III
the number Of cases during the past
few years this prediction came true.
Thus far this season New Hanover
has been very fortunate in there be-
ing but few cases in h county but
in some counties in eastern Carolina
the disease has been general.
