THE PRESIDENT AND CHARLES
DICKENS.

President Roosevelt, in the course
Of his river tour, stopped yesterday
and made a speech at Carlo, a
dcurishing city at the junction of
the Ohio River with the Mississippi,
and in his introduction he compared
that busy and pretty city Of some
fifteen or twenty thousand people
with the wretched unsanitary village
it was in 1S41 as it is described by
I Charles Dickens, the celebrated
English satirical novelist, in his
story of Martin Chuzzlewit. -
Dickens, who had few good words
for the United States or its people,
visited this country just twenty
six years after the American-British
War of 1S12-15, and although he
was treated with hearty hospitality,
he had not sufficiently recovered
from the the prejudices cngendered
by two wars, and increased by his
unspeakable snobbery that made
him hate everything not British,
you know. to enable him to treat
the people of the British races who
We're building the greatest of the
modern nations in new world with
any sort Of justice, much less reason
and decency, and consideration for
the conditions under which they
wrought.
Dickens and Captain Maryatt. the
famous writer Of marine romanees,
visited this country about the same
time and they apparently could find
only condemnation and vituperative
satire to express their opinions of
all they saw. However, the Presi-
dent well said, in devoting a con-
siderable part of his speech to
Dickens denunciaeions, it is good
for people who are in danger Of
becoming too boastful and vain OF
their achievements to be treated to
cold bath of criticism, ridicule
and depreciation.-New Orleans

Thomas A. Edison, the great Amer
lean inventor, says: Fully eighty
per cent of the illness Of mankind
comes from eating improper food or
too much food; people are inclined to
over-indulge themselves. This is
where indigestion finds its beginning
in nearly every case. The stomach
can do Just so much work and no
more, and when you overload it, or
when you eat the wrong kind of food
the digestive organs cannot possibly
do the work demanded of them. 1t is
at such times that the stomach needs
help, and warns you by headaches.
belching, sour stomach, nausea and
indigestion. You should attend to this
at once by taking something that viii
actually do the work for the stomach.
Kodol will do this. 1t is a combina-
ton of natural digestants and vegeta-

brick should absorb. The letter was
filed for information
Crude tests have been made suf-

tests will be made. After considerable
discussion the following resolution was
introduced and passed unanimously:
Whereas, The Fitzgerald company
