A Simple Remedy for Acquiring
Hard Muscles and a
Sound Body.

A No. IL bore gun when load,
ed with 3 drains of powder will
send load of shot further and
shoot harder than if double this
amount of powder is used.
If too much power is used, all
of it will not explode until it
leaves the muzzle of the gun.
That portion which does not
explode at the proper time, inter
feres with the direction, and
checks the velocity or force of
the shot.
Hard muscles and a strong body
do not depend on the quantity of
food, but On it's perfect digestion
and proper assimilation.
If the nutrient properties of all
of the food that may be eaten are
appropriated by the blood and It's
sues, the muscles of the body will
grow harder and stronger, wheth-
er you eat much or little.
You may be well, but not strong
what you want is strength,
physical force.
You do not have to be sick to
need Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.
Thousands of men and millions
of women have need for just
what Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will
do for them.
A little Kodol after meals will
enable the stomach and digestive
organs to digest and assimilate
every atom Of all of the whole
some food that may be eaten.
1t will do more.
1t vii enable the stomach to ex-
tract from the food all it's nutri-
ent properties and contribute the
same to the blood.
1t will enable the blood to cir
culate freely and deposit a full
quota of this tissue-building and
strengthening material into ev-
cry nook, corner, muscle and fibre
of your whole being.
The result is perfect strength.
And perfect health.
Disease cannot lay hold on the
man or woman whose physical
condition is thus fortified.

OUR ANNUAL FLOOD.

That a flood IN the OhlO river
may now be expected to a moral
certainty tn first of every year,
may be ascribed to the destructive
works of man rather than to any
convulsion or revolution or convO-
luton or what not of Nature. TO
the contrary Nature is merely
showing her consistency by Wis
iting these annual floods upon us
for they are solely and simply her
inevitable punishment for abuse
of the resources she has given us.
1t does not take a very old Sis
tersville citizen to remember that
floods in the Ohio Valley usually
averaged five to eight years apart.
In fact, in the past we used to fig
ure on a flood every seven years
It didn't always work out eX
actly on that period. Sometimes
the interval was greater. In fact
until 1884 we did not know what
a food was, and as a result that
deluge caught nine-tenths of the
population unprepared.
But now the Overfows are COM
ing along with monotonous regu-
larity every year. AS sure as
spring comes we can depend upon
flood. And the only reason
which can be ascribed is the mer-
CHESS sacrifice of the forests in the
headwaters. Twenty years ago
the forests of West Virginia and
PENNSYLVANIA were practically I'M
touched. Snce that time the
woodman has been busy and there
has been no one by to tell him to
spare the tree. Millions of feet
of lumber have been cut every
year and hill after hill and noun
tain after mountain have been de-
prived of its woody clothing and
left bare, stark naked, no longer
reservoirs for storing moisture but
regular waterspouts ready to shed
the rain into the streams as fast
as it falls. The result has been
that the Ohio has been trans
formed from a stately river OF
euua5le stages, navigable nine to
ten months a year to nothing
more than a tri-state sewer flush,
ing out immediately after a heavy
rain, overlooking its banks at the
slightest opportunity and ther
practically dry two-thirds of the
year.
When the forests were intact
the water was held in reserve
Now, the denuded hills can holc
nothing, and the result will be al

We had no gas in our office up
stairs today, so we had to get out
a crate and build a fire. In the
office we found while hunting
around for some fuel nearly bar
rel of charcoal that has probably
been in The Review building for
half a century. The Review Of
fee is located in the old JoShus
Russell homestead, and this char
coal was used to heat sad irons.
A hollow roa would be filled with
charcoal and kept burning and
so the iron was kept hot. Later
on the iron was used that was
heated by placing it on top of a
cooking stove, and now you can
have your irons heated by cleo
tricity. Quite change in a few
years.

JAPANESE DEMANDS,

vienna seems to have an lntimatlon
"1 The Character of Same.
Vienna, June 16.-The opinion pre-
vaiIlng mere is that the peace nego-
tiations between Russia and Japan
will eventually prove successful. This
is based primarily on the belief that
Japan will meet Russia more than
half way. making unexpectedly rea-
sonable demands. Certain intima-
tons have been received here that
Japans terms are substantially as fol-
love.
First-The recognition of the ia
panese protectorate over Korea.
Second-The return of Manchuria
to China
Third-1nternational control of the
eastern Chinese railroad.
Notwithstanding Port Arthur the
stragetical value of this fortress has
been cver-estimated and it is said that
it's ultimate disposal will not give rise
to any controversy.
! Fifth--It is not thought that Japan
will demand the demolition of the for
tifications at Vladivostok
SiXth-The surrender of the Island
of Sakhalin will not be demanded by
Japan principally because Japan has
not yet carried the war into Russian
territory.
Seventh-An understanding regard
ing an indemnity is not impossible be-
cause it is. declared Japan will con.
tent herself with demanding the cost
of the war.
The Japanese minister here In an
interview said that if Russia honest.
ly desired peace she could have it.

CANNOT OPERATE
IN BASEMENT

Des Moines, June 15.-Easement or
second story saloons cannot operate
in Iowa and the saloon across the
alley from the Dostolfice must close.
That was the decree of the supreme
court entered yesterday in the case
Of A. J. McColl against Rally & Fisher.
Both the construction of the partl-
ton in the north side of the room in
order to make it more than fifty feet
from the Iowa Loan and Trust COM
pany building and the attempt to run
a saloon in a basement are declared
by the court to be illegal.
The floor of the saloon is five feet
below the level of the walk while
the top OF the windows are only four
feet above the walk. The bar COM
mences thirty-five feet from the near
est part of the sidewalk.
1T is manifest, no matter what wit
nesses may say, that a man of ordin-
walk in the usual way, could not see
the entire bar" says the court. If
he were close to the building he could
not see any of it without STOPPING.
Clearly the bar in this case is not In
plain view from the street. (The law
says the bar shall "be in plain view
from the street.") True. man by
starting at the building and going out
into the street could see the entire
length of the bar; but this does not
meet either the letter or the spirit OF
the law.
plain view of the bar means plain
view from the street or sidewalk used
by pedestrians in the usual and ordin-
airy way"
The court says the testimony clear
ly establishes the fact that the bar
is not in plain view OF the street as
that term is used in the statute.
THE very object of this provision
was 10 prevent the establishment OF
saloons in easements, the second
stories of buildings or in other places
not open to view by those passing by
on the sidewalks or Streets
The court also doubts if the en-
trance to this saloon or the door there
was upon a public street. Surely a
door at the end OF d long hall is not
an entrance upon a street, said the
court THE entrance to the room in
question was not and could not be
uron a public street. Steps were
necessary to reach it and in this case
there are many.

the scheme clings with desperation to
the essence of autocracy, it marks

Mrs. Campbell is an estlmaDie
young lady who for years has been IN

PIenipotentlaries Decide On
Place of Confer

PRESIDENT LEARNS THE NEWS
From Takahira, Japan's Representa-.
tive here-visitors Turned Away
While President Receives Momen-
tous News During Busiest Hours

Washington, June 16---America
national capital has been selected as
the seat of negotiations between the
plenipOtentiaries OF Russia and ia
: pan for treaty of peace. The choice
OF Washington as the location of the
peace conference marks another for
ward step in the negotiations toward
ultimate peace In the far east insti
tuted. by President Roosevelt.
Official announcement of the selec-
ton of Washington was made by Sec
rotary Loeb at 1928 p. m. yesterday
1t was in typewriter form and read
as follows: when the two govern
ments were unable sto agree upon
either ChefCo or Paris, the president
suggested the Hague but both gov
ernments have now requested that
Washington be chosen as the place
If meeting and the president has ac-
,ordingly formally notified both gov
ernments that Washington will be
selected"
This statement was supplemented
shortly afterward by a semi-official
announcement that after meeting

found to be uncomfCrtably hot in
Washington, may adjourn the meet
ing to some summer resort in the
north and there continue their sit.
tings until such time as the weather
in Washington shall be more COM
| Portable"
Now that some of the details of the
negotiations which have been pending
| for more than two weeks are known
! the selection of Washington is regard
ed as the only logical solution pre-
| scented to the belligerent governments.
After the acceptance by Russia and
Jaran of President Roosevelt's prop
osition that they consent to consider
the question of peace. Russia indi-
Gated Paris as the most desirable
place for the meeting to negotiate
a treaty and Japan indicated Chefoo.
There the subject rested for forty
eight hours.
Finally Japan declined to consider
Paris for obvious reasons, and Rus
STA objected to the holding of the
conference in any Oriental city.
Washington then was suggested as
place at which the belligerantS
could meet on common ground. undis-
turbed by either political or personal
| Influences.
AS a means of facilitating the nego'
tiations the president suggested that
he conference be held at The Hague
the seat of the international arbitra-
ton tribunal and the location OF the
first general arbitration conference
held at the instance of Emperor
Nicholas of Russia.
But it finally became known that
Japan was opposed to any European
city and Russia was opposed to going
to Asia. Washington, thereupon be-
came the last resort, and that city
was agreed upon.
