Try little Kodol for Dyspepsia
after your meals. See the effect il
will produce on your general feeling
by digesting your food and helping
your stomach to get itself into
shape. Many stomachs are over
worked to the point where they re-
fuse to go further. Kodol digests
your food and gives your stomach
the rest it needs, while its recon-
structive properties get the stomach
back into working order. Kodol re-
lieves flatulence, sour stomach palpi-
tation of the heart. belching, etc.

RULER OF GREECE
RECEIVED BY POPE
KING GEORGE AND HIS DAUGHTER
VISIT THE VATICAN AND ARE
CORDIALLY RECEIVED BY THE
HEAD OF THE CHURCH.

Rome, November 26.-kng George OF
Greece, accompanied by his daughter, the
Grand Duchess Nichelovitch of Russia,
visited the Pope today and were most cor
daily received
After leaving the Quirenal King George
drove to the British embassy, where his
daughter was stopping, and with her went
to the Greek legation. There they ell
tered a private carriage and were driven
to the Vatican, where they were received
with royal honors by the members of the
papal court.
The Pope welcomed the visitors in the
throne room, Monslgnor Deenda, arch
bishop of Athens, acting as interpreter
The audience lasted half an hour. The
hesitation of the King to visit the Pope
was caused by the feeling in Greece
against Roman Catholics, whose ortho-
doxy means more than religious schism
being the fourth century in the nature of
a political and national antagonism on the
part of the Hellenic against the Latin
world.
1t is recalled that when threatened the
Greeks used to say: Better the Crescent
than the Tiara" meaning that they would
prefer Turkish to Latin rule or the rule
of the Vatican.
The efforts of the late Pope Leo to bring
about a reunion of the Oriental church
with the Church of Rome caused so much
resentment in Greece that King George
was the only sovereign who did not con-
graduate Pope Leo on the jubilee of his
admittance into the priesthood.

Music and comedy, with a first-class
vaudeville bill, is the offering at the
New Gayety theatre this week, and 1t
is a bill that will please everyone.
1t contains those essentials of success

of them many songs and dances, comedy
and vaudeville features, which are un-

that attracts a great deal of attention,
and Miss Maryland Tyson, who heads
it, received no less than a dozen encores
at the performances yesterday afternoon
and last night.
There are three acts in the olio that
are as good vaudeville acts as one might
care to see. The Buch Brothers, comedy
and eccentric acrobats, have an act that
is winner. 1t consists mainly of bound
ing on a net stretched to represent the
deck of a ship. The two acrobats appear
as sailors, and they furnish no end of
amusement. Tt is Just the class of vaude-
vile act that takes in Birmingham COM
bning skill and comedy.
The Busch-Devere trio introduces a nov
city musical act which is illustrated with
no end of beautiful pictures. There are
probably three score colored and plain
pictures thrown on the screen, and many
g them represent the finest of the Eng
ish country palaces. Others illustrate
popular songs that members of the trio
either sing or play on various instru-
! ments. The pictures alone create ap-

on this that she received so many en-
cores yesterday. Hume, Cain and Hoey,
trio of singers, render a number OF
songs, singing them well. The members
of the trio have good voices, both for
solos and singing together.
