A sweet breath adds to the joys of a
kiss. You wouldn't want to kiss your
wife. mother or sweetheart with a bad
breath. You can't have a sweet breath
without a healthy stomach. You can't
have a healthy stomach without per
feet digestion. There is only one remedy
that digests what you eat and makes the
sreath as sweet as a rose-and that
remedy is kodol for Dyspepsia. 1t is a
relief for sour stomach, %palpltation Of
the heart, and other ailments arising
from disorder of the stomach and diges-
ton. Take a little Kodol after your
meals and see what it will do for you

most perfect feminine hand in Amer

rather interesting.
AS the story goes the possessor OF
the hand was with some friends In

The pose of the hand with its per-

tracted the attention of the artist who
proposed to photograph It. The re-
suit was a beautiful picture kept ID

He picked himself up and det1
ing that they should not get the BEST

handles and fastened them and start

when one of the wheels gave out, so
he turned back and took a trolley
car for home, bringing the wheel
with him on the car. He then start

lance, so his Sunday pleasure trip
was entirely spoiled and M lady
who heard HIM relate his troubles
told him it served him right because

Greatest Timber Area.

One billion dollars is the price tag
on the standing timber in Washing
ton, Idaho. Oregon, California and
Montana. These timber lands are
said to constitute the most important
forest area in the world. In extent
they are unapproachable, in the meas.
ure of production they are unequaled,
and they surpass all other forests in
the universal adaptability of their
products. California has the fir, the
western spruce, and the red cedar.
Eastern Washington has the yellow
pine. which also Is abundant in cen
trail and eastern Oregon and northern
California, surprising in size and
equaling in quality the product of the
pine belt of the great lakes. The
amount of timber standing in the five
states is placed at an aggregate OF
700, 000, 900, 900 feet. While the aver
age is more than n dollar per 1000
