Nothing will relieve Indigestion that
is not thorough digestant. KODOL
digests what you eat and allows the
stomach to rest-recupcrate- grow
strong again. KODOL is a solution of
digestive acids and as nearly as pos
sible approXirnates the digestive juices
that are found in the stomach. KODOL
takes the work OF digestion off the di-
gestive organs, and while performing
this work itself does greatly assist the
stomach to a thorough rest. In addi-
ton the ingredients of kODOL are such
as to make 1t corrective OF the high
est efficiency and by its action the
stomach is restored its normal activity
and power. kODOL is manufactured
in strict conformity with the National

The Cost OF LIVING.

Not since the days of war and re-
construction and a deprecated cur
rency has the cost of living been so
high as it is at present. Dun's in
dex numbers cover all leading COM
modities, and those numbers make
plain the fact that tt1io cost of living
on e,c,,d basis is beyond all prece-
dent in this country.
Everything is high-priced, even
bread-stuffs. and crops We're unusu-
ally heavy last year. They are fifty
per cent. higher than they were ten
Years ago. Meats are forty per
cent. higher than they were ten
years ago; dairy and garden pro-
ducts are about forty per cent. high
er, while clothing is more than fifty
per cent. higher.
On December | Dun's index num-
bers for commodities stood at 108, IT,
and we have to go back to 1880 tC
find a larger aggregate. Prices in
, 1880 were still based to some extent
on a deprecated currency. The
year 1906 was a year Of high prices
and the tendency throughout the
year was from high prices to those
still higher, eliminating on Deem
Der l in the sum already stated. Or
January l there was a slight recess
sion, but prices are still far above
the record of the last twenty-five
years. -Age-Herald.
