Thomas A. Edison, the great Ameri-
can inventor, says: Fully eighty per
cent of the illness Of mankind comes
from eating improper food on to much
food; people are inclined to over
indulge themselves" This is where
indigestion finds its beginning in
nearly every case. The stomach can
do lust 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; it demands help, and warns you
by headaches. belching, sour stomach,
nausea and indigestion. You should at
tend to this at once by taking some
thing that will actually do the work
for the stomach. Kodol will do this

SWAYING and Dieting
To GET thin.
ROwbOat Exercises In a Chair
and other Stunts of
Exercise.

The person who is too fat will gen.
orally begin by dieting. This is all
right if one knows how to diet. But
the woman who simply cuts down
her food supply will lose her health.
Here are the diet hints:
Eat all you want once day; the
middle of the day is the best time.
Don't eat very much in the evening
and nothing at all before you go to
bed.
Let your breakfast be light, and
don't forget that the stomach has its
likes and dislikes. Eat little, but eat
we'll.
1t is along the lines of exercise that
the beauty shop does its best work.
1t tells you how to exercise and what
exercises will take off your pounds.
Each patient requires a different set,
and 1t is one of the duties of the little
establishments to adapt the exercise
10 the person.
In the case of a woman who was
large around the waist line there were
the bending movements. They were
all performed with the muscles OF
the hip. They were four in number.
The first exercise was the hip ex-
ercise. To perform it stand suarely
upon both feet. Then your lift one
foot and kick out violently at the
side.
The second exercise is the abdomi-
nal exercise, and it is good for the
man with increasing girth as we'll as
for the wmoan, says the New York
Sun. 1t is the bending exercise.
Place both hands upon your hips
with your fingers pointed back. Bend
backward and forward. Keep sway
ing and swaying until you gre tired,
which should be in about five sways.
The third exercise is the rowboat
exercise. Seat yourself and grasp the
arms of your chair. Throw yourself
backward as though the rowing exer-
else until you feel as IL you had row.
ed far enough.
Then take the fourth exercise to rest
yourself. This exercise is for the arm
Take a step forward and throw your
arms behind you as you step. Al
the same time breathe deeply.
Repeat stepping forward, throwing
back your arms and breathing deeply
until you feel as though your muscles
were all alive. Then stop and rest.
To bring down the neck of a wom-
an who is too stout take both courage
and persistence. But the woman who
| wants to wear her necklace will not
lack either of these.
She will beat her neck with sea salt
and water; she will stretch it until
the fat begins to disappear; she will
pound it and pinch it and keep al
it until flesh fades.

MERCHANTS DUPED
BY FAKE COMPANY.
Goods Shipped We're Never
Paid for.
But Have disappeared Together
With Purchaser Who Went
to Indian Territory.

The Lillian Coal company of Horse
Branch appears to be one of the sort
that never was on land or sea-" and
several wholesalers and jobbers have
learned this to their sorrow. These
n houses claim that they have been
stuck to the tune of several thou
sand dollars by shipping goods to the
Lillian Coal company, or its president
and genaral manager, Fred Ackart.
1t is claimed that the goods were
never paid for and that Ackart imme-
diately upon receiving them reshipped
them to the Indian territory and dis
appeared himself. A representative
Of Cincinnati firm is in Greensboro
making investigations looking TO the
apprehension Of Ackart. The Owens
boro merchants were wise enough TO
steer clear of Mr.. Ackart, although
they were honored with his orders.
Early in August the organization of
a new coal company at Horse Branch
began to be exploited. Newspapers
throughout the West Kentucky coal re
gion published long notices of il.
Letters on handsomely printed letter
heads were received by business men
all over Western Kentucky in Louis
VILE, Cincinnati and Louisville. The
name of Fred Ackart appeared on the
letter heads as president and gener-
al manager.
About September IL, the announce
ment was made that the organization
Of the company had been completed,
leases secured on several thousand
acres of coal lands contiguous to
Horse Branch and that the company
was ready to begin business. A large
general store was to be maintained.
A few days later, merchants began
to receive orders for goods. At least
one Greensboro department store re-
ceived an order for a large bill. At
about the same time, wholesale
grocery in Greensboro received an or
der. They made some investigations
and found that other orders had been
placed in several other cities. They
found out some other things as we'll,
and declined to ship. Merchants in
other cities, however, did fill orders
from Ackart. From Cincinnati alone
he received goods to the value of
$4,000.
These goods were delivered to Ack-
art at Horse Branch and 1t is said
that he Immediately re-shipped them
as household goods TO some point in
the Indian Territory. One of the
Cincinnati houses became suspicious,
set about recovering its goods and
came within twenty-four hours OF
catching them. at the destination in
Indian Territory. They had, how
ever, been delivered and no trace of
them could be found. 1t Is supposed
that Ackart is with the goods
Ackart was in business in Ohio
and Muhlenberg counties for several
years. At one time, he was in bust
ness at Beech Grove. For some time
he conducted small store at Central
City.This was burned several months
ago and an insurance policy collected
on it. Immediately after the burn
ing of his store, he set about organic
ing, or pretending to organize, the
Lillian Coal company.

HERD OF ELE-
PLANTS GET ANGRY.
One of the Inconvenience of
Farming in South
Africa.

The Rev. Mr.. Grantham, in charge
of the Wesleyan mission at Lomagund
sends particulars of raid made by
a herd of elephants, which resulted in
the loss of life.
He says: 81 shall be glad you will
make known through the medium of
your paper the following incident and
my comments on it in the hope that
public sentiment may be aroused
against condition of things in which
many suffer for the sake of a fad Of
few, who share none ofthe misery
that their hobby inflicts upon others
In May last the native gardens on this
farm suffered serious damage from
the incursion of a troop of elephants
that visited us seven times in success
sion. In this respect we are not the
only sufferers, for | am constantly
hearing of the same kind of thing
throughout the neighborhood. We
have no lawful means Of protection
for damages are ignored.
ION Friday morning two old natives
and a picannin, who had been sleep
ing in skerm erected in the land,
awoke to find that ten full grown ele-
plants and three calves were within a
few yards Of where they lay. The ma
tives fled in terror, pursued by one of
the beasts, which was apparently en-
ragged at the sight of human beings in
such close proximity to the calves.
The picannin was just on the point of
being tusked, but saved himself by
rushing on hands and knees through
the branches of a fallen tree. The
elephant tossed these aside, and con-
tinued in pursuit of the old men. One
escaped, but the other was overtaken
in about 100 yards, and the vicious
beast transfixed him through the back
the protruding tusk ploughing deeply
into the soil.
THE furious animal then proceeded
10 rip it's victim to pieces, splitting
one leg from bullock to calf and an
arm from shoulder TO wrist. He just
lived long enough to urge his friend to
fly back to the kraal, or no one would
be left to tell the tale.
I'VE are told that in strict self
defence they may be fired upon. Are
we then to wait until one of the brute
is in the act of charging upon us ere
we pull hasty trigger which is more
likely than not to be our last? And
what is the use of firing at one angry
elephant when several others are
standing by ready to take up the
cause of their companion if it does
fall?
1T is popularity Supposed that ele-
plants will not attack human being
unless they are molested by him, but
they will invariably do so If the herd
contains any calves. A price is set
upon the head of lions-beasts that
rarely initiate an attack upon human
beings, and whose depredations are
generally confined to cattle kraals and
spans of donkeys. Why, then, should
elephants, which in this district are
much greater scourge than lions, be
protected, and the killing if one be a
criminal offense?'

DREAMED OF HOME.

The following story is reprinted
for a double reason; first because
it is laughable incident in which
two former Kansans are the actors,
and second because they are uncle
and cousin respectively of our fell
low townsman. H. H. Case The
story is from waldorf Topics"
Seattle, Washington, where the
parties are coming money in the
real estate business.-ED.
"The following item is taken from
a Marion, Kansas, paper, and as it
refers to an occupant of the Wal
dorf, we think it a proper item for
publication in The Topics:
" 1T was not an earthquake that
shook the Waldorf to its founda-
ton about four weeks ago, as som e
may have supposed tit was only
the result of a dream.
"'Our esteemed friend, S. P.
Bown, "Jncle' as he is generally
known, who, with the Cases occu-
Ply apartments $40, had a dream
that he was back in Kansas in
big pasture, in which was a big
bull, cross, of course. That Frank,
his nephew, was standing at the
bars. Uncle advanced to look
around and saw the bull coming
for him, head down and with blood
in his eye. Uncle ran for the bars
as fast as his short legs would carry
him, calling to Frank to let down
the bars. This Frank could not
do before the arrival of Brown, the
bull close in the rear. Uncle made
desperate effort to jump the fence.
He jumped and landed in the mid
die of the floor, part of his anatomy
striking the floor and another part
hitting a rocking chair, which
went flying to the other side of the
room. He took the bed clothes all
with him. He pulled himself to-
gether after a time and turned on
the light to enable HIM to find the
bull, but gave up the search, rear
ranged his bed and crawled in.
Bown was formerly a Kansas far
mer and stock man. He still will
talk about farming in Kansas with
you, but please do not mention
anything about the stock business
in his presence.

R. A. Holman, resigned his po-
sition" as cook at the Grand hotel,
because he was ''hred," Saturday
morning and before he got out of
town he was cited before Judge
Tedrow. He and his pal, another
employee at the hotel who got his
walking credentials at the same
time on account of insufficient
service, went to the depot to take
the train for Wichita. While some
switching was going on Holman
was making an exhibition of his
''fragility" in jumping on and off
of moving cars and doing aero.
batic stunts. Agent Aspey warned
him several times to quit, but he
paid no attention to the warning.
Mr.. Aspey had a warrant issued
and the sheriff soon had him and
Judge Tedrow did the rest. When
asked to say whether he was guilty
or not guilty he parleyed a little
but finally said guilty" The fee
was 81 and costs, a total of $685..
The boys made complete inven-
tory and could gather up only
$7.25 and Judge Tedrow cancelled
the account for that amount. The
boys succeeded in borrowing suf-
fficient funds to get to Wichita and
left the town with curses on their
lips for Medicine Lodge. They
probably did not know that there
is a penalty attached to Jumping
on and off of moving cars bat they
are wiser now. Many a boy has
lost his life by playing around cars
in this manner.
