absence Cure" Works Wonders In
CAGES Of conlugaI Jars.

When symptoms set In OF an out
break of conjugal jars-whlch may
happen sometimes in the best regu-
lated families-it is capital plan for
husband or wife TO go off on a solitary
holiday for few days, to let the
clouds blow over.
If two persons start jangling and
getting on one another's nerves, an
absence cure" works wonders. Both
have time for reflection and repent
ance. so IL you and the husband are
irritating one another like mild mus
tard poultices, go and stop a week
with friends.
Don't discuss your grievances with
the hostess; calm down. forgive and
forget, and stay away till you can re-
turn In love and kindness.
Short separations taken at the right
moment, would save thousands of hot
tempered young couples from drifting
to the ranks Of the "unhappily mar.
ried."

That Is what Kodol is for. The stomach cam
not stop work; II 1t did you would stop existing.
1t cannot even take vacation and rest up -
except when 1t has Kodol TO assist It,
Very likely you never gave thought to how
hard your stomach works. Most people don't until
they have to. Sometimes though, 1t cost less TO
do little thinking before one has to.
Even the galley-slave of the ancients rested-at
intervals. But the stomach of modern man works
harder than the galley-slaye, and 1t never rests
Of itself.
Kodol Of course, will rest the stomach, but
that Is something nature didn't provide for. If
people nowadays lived the way nature intended,
1t wouldn't have been necessary to provide for 1t.
But they don't that's the trouble
Better keep on good terms with your stomach,
II you can. Your health depends absolutely upon
the perfect performance OF the stomach's func-
tions. Ever think Of that--or why 1t is trueP
The human body is composed Of certain chemi-
cal elements. These are combined to form sub
stances such as fat, protein, carbohydrates, min
eral matter and water.
The food we eat is composed of exactly these
elements. The stomach must disintegrate this
food and correctly apporton 1t to the needs Of the
system. Looks like lot Of work for the stomach
doesn't itp No wonder 1t occasionally needs
Kodol to help it do this.
The person who has the kind OF stomach that
can do its own work continuously, without assis-
lance has good deal to be thankful for. Most
people haven't that kind. That Is why they re-
Quire Kodol.
