"We never repent of eating too
little" was one of the ten rules
of life of Thomas Jefferson, presi-
dent of the United States, and
the rule applies to every one with
out exception during this hot
weather, because it is hard for
food, even in small quantities, to
he digested when the blood is at
high temperature. At this season
we should eat sparingly and prop
erly. We should also help the
stomach as much as possible by
the use of Kodol For Indigestion
and Dyspepsia, which will rest
the stomach by digestlng the food
