When our hatred is violent it sinks
US below even those we hate.-Ex.

You can't be well you have weak,
unhealthy, tired out stomach Neither
can you feel good if by some little IL
regularity in eating you have caused
the stomach to get out of order. These
little stomach troubles are signs ofindi-
gestion, which may and very often doc s
turn into very bad ease of dyspepsia.
Don't allow this to go on Il single day
without doing something to overcome
it. Take some good reliable and safe
digestant like kODOL For Dyspepsia.
kODOL is the best remedy known to-
day for heart burn, belching and all
troubles arising from disordered d.
gestion. 1t is pleasant to take and
offords relief promptly. Sold by E. T.

A big head has a big heek.-Turk-

There is nothing better for stomach
troubles than KODOL, which contains
the same juices found in healthy
stomach. KODOL is offered on a guar
anteed plan for the relief of heart burn,
ilatulence, sour stomach, belch;ng OF
gas, nausea, and all stomach troubles.
So at times when you don't feel just
right, when you are drowsy of after
meals, and your head aches or when
you have no ambition, and you are
cross and irritable, take a little KO

IN MEMoRIAM.

II is a time worn adage handed
down from generation to generation
that there Is nothing SO certain as
death, and nothing SO uncertain as
the time whe we shall be called be-
fore the great bar of justice to give
account of our pilgrimage on earth.
There is never an hour during our
lives that we are not reminded of
this fact. Death Is no respector of
persons. The aged parent and the
little child. Man in his prime and
youth in all his vigor alike are sub
jects of the destroying King, all
here find their common level.
During these reflections were are
reminded of the sad death of our
dearly loved brother, William VIII
son Cork, which occurred Sept. Z,
1907. He was a prominent odd
Fellow, being a member of Mt.
Clare Lodge No. 2S5. 1. o. o. F.. of
Mt. Clare, w. Va.
Brother Cork possessed all the
noble qualities so ESSENTIAL in the
honest upright faithful man. His
hand was ever extended to aid his
weaker and less sfayored brother and
none were more liberal in aiding
Lodge work than he. The beautiful
cemetery now owned by this Lodge
was direct gift to the Lodge by
Bro. Cork, which will ever stand as
lasting memorial of the great inter-
est he had in his Lodge, and the
community in which he lived. He
leaves son and daughter and host
Of friends to mourn their loss.
Whereas, Death has again visited
our Lodge and removed from our
midst our dearly beloved brother,
William Wilson Cork, therefore be It
resolved,
First, That by his death we have
lost one of our most faithful and
earnest brothers. one In whom we
had perfect confidence and for whom
We had the highest admiration and
respect.
Second, That his life was an ex-
ample for all his brothers to exem-
pity in their daily intercourse with
man. II men would only emulate
his example how satisfying would
