Thomas A. Edison the great American
inventor, says Fully eighty per cent of
the illness of mankind comes from eat
ing improper food or too much food;
people are inclined to over-indulge them
selves" This is where indigestion finds
its beginning in nearly every case.
The stomach can do just 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, it is at
such times that the stomach needs help
and warns you by headaches, belching,
sour stomach, nausea and Indigestion.
You should attend to this at oncesb by
taking something that will actually do
the work for the stomach. Kodol will
do this. 1t is combination Of natural

Merry, e.. S. \. (retireO do not agree
with Henry ReuterdahTs opinion Of the
American war ships.
EN-Secretary Long said to-day that he
had an impression that some Of the
criticisms might be defended but that
the charges as whole We're very largely
exaggerated.
The process OF building battle ships
has from time 10 time involved certain
naval experiments. but as a whole the
process has been one of steady improve
ment." he declared.
Where mistake has been discovered
in one type. the department .has striven
to correct IL in the next type. AS a result.
there has been process Of Improvement
all the time
Gov. Long also said that he did not be-
lieve it advisable 10 send all the battle
ships cruising around the world together.
He believes in the old style of long
cruises for the navy. He does not ap-
prove Of allowing long shore leave in
winter, with a cruise along the fashion

Rear Admiral Merry declares the
charges ridiculous.
I have seen our ships operated under

SEES JAPANESE PLOT
Government Man Says Fill
pinOS Are Being Reused.
WISH TO WIDEN THE BREACH
James Fitzpatrick Believes that
Japanese Incited Islanders TO Wire
and Try TO Dynamite the Dry Dock
Dewey-NavaI Officers Conclude, He
Said, that Natives Were Bribed.

Toledo. Ohio, Dec. $50 anxious are
the japanese 10 widen the breach be-
tween the United States and the Philip
pines that they have gone so far as 10
cause the Filipinos to wire and try to
dynamite the dry dock Dewey, according
TO statement made public to-day by
James Fitzpatrick. for five years govern
ment engineer and contractor in the Phil
ippines.
In his statement Mr. Fitzpatrick says
that the japanese at this time are in no
position TO fight the United States, and
that their naval fleet would be quickly
whipped out OF existence by the United
States if war was begun.
Realizing their weakness, which is
strongly felt on account Of the heavy
indebtedness incidental to the Russian
war, these tricky" japanese are doing
everything to make trouble between the
United States and the natives Of the
Philippines. This is done in order that
those islands may require all the atten-
ton Of the American ships in those
waters
The Japanese also figure, according TO
Mr.. Fitzpatrick upon the Philippines as
"a valuable asset to them. They hope to
be able to get possession Of them sooner
or later. and figure that if the United
States is having constant trouble with
the islanders. the acquiring of them would
be an easier matter.
American naval officers discovered the
drydock Dewey all wired and dynamite
placed below IL, said Mr.. Fitzpatrick,
commenting on that phase Of the situa-
ton. And, after a careful investigation
Of the affair. they came to the conclusion
that the work had been done by Filipinos.
who were bribed by the Japanese.
1T is figured out that if the drydock
had been blown up the authorities would
have blamed the natives and trouble
would have ensued.
