There are great many people
who have slight attacks of indiges-
ton and dyspepsia nearly all the
time. Their food may satisfy the
appetite but it fails to nourisn the
body simply because the stomach
is not in fit condition to do the
work it is supposed to do. It can't
digest the food you eat. The stom-
ach should be given help. You
ought to take something that will
do the work your stomach can't do.
Kodol For Indigestion and Dyspep-
STA, combination of natural
digestants and vegetable acids, di-
gests the food itself and gives
strength and health to the stomach.

PURE WATER.

The One Beverage That Is the Same
Yesterday, Today and Forever.
Water is the king of beverages 1t is
the beverage to which all turn when
they would cure themselves of the in
furious habit of consuming other bev-
erages But water that is not pure
may be more harmful than the most
harmful of other drinks.
Water is the basis of all other bever-
ages. All beverages of mans manu-
facture are water that has been adul-
terated by admixtures and chemical
treatment
Pure water Is the one beverage
which has stood the test of science and
come down to us unscathed through
continuous use for countless ages. It
is natures chiefest blessing to man.
Other beverages undergo many changes
with time Each age brings them forth
in new styles, new methods of manu-
facture, new processes Of chemical
treatment, aging and keeping. Foods
change with each successive genera
ton We eat different kinds of foods
from time to time. Each generation
prepares them differently. There are
different methods of compromising
them, different methods of cooking
them. Pure water is the same yester-
day, today and forever.-What to Eat

A "cURE' FOR cUssING.
The Penitent Scotsman Found His
Load a Heavy One.


Load Heavy One.
A clergyman in Scotland observed
with much perturbation that mem
Der OF his congregation was greatly
given 20 the use of strong language.
Over and over again he demonstrated
with the man to give up the bad habit.
In time the man himself came to see
the error of his ways, and desired no
less earnestly to break himself of the
use of bad language. The difficulty,
however, was to find a method of
doing so. One day the clergyman hit
upon happy thought.
"Get bag" he said to the man,
"and every time you swear put a
pebble into it. At the end of the
month you will bring that bag to me-.
l will count the pebbles and see what
the effect has BEEN"
The man accepted the idea with
alacrity. He got bag, and, religious
~, every time he swore what Mr.. Gill
bert in toe ''Pinafore" calls "big, big
D." he duly put pebble into it. At
the end of the month :he went to the
clergyman, taking the bag with him.
1t was not an easy task, for, as any
one might see, the bag was very full
and very heavy. He went into the
clergyman's study and put the bag
on the table.
The minister looked up with Seri-
Gus expression. This is very serious,
my friend. 1 am sorry to see you have
so many pebbles in the bag"
''Hoot, minister" exclaimed the man
cheerfully; this is only the devils

A CLEVER TRICK.
The Way Lord Cockrane Once Won an
English Election.

EnOitSn Etection
When Lord Cochrane was candi-
date for parliament in Honiton he re-
fused to give any brides. AS his OppO-
neut gave to a head, Lord Cochrane
suffered defeat. The latter, however,
sent the bellman round the town an
nouncing that all those who had voted
for Lord COchrane would receive 10
guineas apiece If they called on his
agent In those preballOt days Of
course it was known how each man
voted, and theehappy minority march
ed off to the agent, each getting his 10
guineas. Naturally enough, the major
ity began to think they had made a
mistake, and they resolved to rectify
that mistake at the first possible mo-
ment. In due course an opportunity
came. There was another election.
Lord COchrane stood again, and the
voters, remembering his lavish meth
DDS, asked him no questions, but re-
turned him with a roaring majority.
Then they conveyed a delicate hint to
the noble lord asking what he pro-
posed to give them for this distinguish
ed service. mot one farthing!' roared
his lofdship. The unhappy men re-
minded him that he had paid 10 gum
cas- a head to the minority at the pre-
vious election. A complacent grin
frightened the face of the member as
he gave this explanation: THE former
gift was for their disinterested con-
duct in not taking the bride of 70 from
the agents of my opponent For me
now to pay them would be violation
Of my own previously expressed prin
ciples."

SUGGESTIONS OF NINE.
a Number Conspicuous In Ancient and
Modern Speech.

! Modern Speech.
| Of all odd numbers the one which
would seem to be the most conspic-
uous In ancient lore and modern
speech and in illusions of all sorts,
whether classic or vulgar, is g.
Whether this is because it is a null
tiple of 3, triple trinity, or not
we. need not stop to inquire. The
connections in which 8 figures are
very numerous and extraordinarily
varied. Of old there were nine
muses. and also nine rivers in the
internal regions. In classical my
thology we read Of nine heavens
and nine worlds, and the hydra had
nine heads.
In medsaeval times there we're
nine S'worthies of the world" the
places in this select assembly being
differently allotted by different au-
thorities, the usual division being
three gentiles, or paynims, three
Jews and three Christians. One of
the oldest English games is nine
mems morris. It could be played
either indoors or outdoors, on a
folding board marked with the nee
essary lines and squares or on a
board marked out on field or down
by stones or by cuts in the turf. In
Dorset they still play the game I'M
der the name of marnull.
Nine appears frequently in popu-
lar medicine. A Sussex collector
referring to the very common rural
belief in the efficacy of passing a
ruptured child through a cleft ash
tree says that the patient must be
attended by nine persons, each Of
whom should pass it through the
cleft from west to east. AaPerth
kirk session record Of 1923 refers
to the preparation of three cakes
for some medicinal purpose from
nine portions of meal contributed
by nine maidens and nine married
women. Threads with nine knots
and straws with nine joints are used
for various healing purposes, while
nine successive mornings are often
prescribed for the performance OF
certain folklore ceremonies
The great Lambton worm, one of
the best known Of English dragon
myths, had nine eyes and was fed
from the milk of nine COWS.
Again, the same number is prom
inent in various common phrases
and proverbs. Nine tailors make a
man. Queen Elizabeth is alleged to
have once addressed a deputation of
eighteen tailors with a "Good morn
ing, gentlemen both!"
Every one knows that cat has
nine lives, while the Scat" that is
used for the castigation of evil
doors has nine tails.
When Mercutio insults Tybalt
and the latter inquiries, "What
wouldst thou have with z" the
volatile but fiery partisan replies,
"Good king of cats, nothing but one
of your nine lives" Haywood, the
proverb monger, has the saying, "A
woman hath nine lives, like cat,
which will be news to most folk.
Three more examples may be CIV
en- from collection of applications
of this remarkable number 8 which
is not easily exhausted. Possession,
we often hear, is mine points of the
law" A person who has paid some
attention to his or her attire is said
for some inscrutable reason to be
dressed 'sup to the mines" while the
most startling event is but ;snine
days wonder" The last phrase,
though truer now than ever, was IA
miliarly used, with many other still
current forms of popular speech, IN
the days of Chaucer. - London
