Chicago, Ill.-Dear Sirs-I have suffer-
ed more than twenty years from indi-
gestion. About eighteen months ago
I had grown so much worse that l
sould not digest crust OF corn bread
and could not retain anything on my
stomach. 1 lost % pounds; in fact I
made up my mind that 1 could not
live but short time, when friend of
mine recommended Kodol consent
ed to try it to please him and was bet
ter in one day. I now weigh more

better health than for many years.
Kodol did it. I keep a bottle con-
stantly, and write this hoping that
humanity may be benefited. Yours

INHERIT FATHERS TRAITS.
Children More Likely to Take CEafdc'
teriSt!CS From Patefnal Side.

CThe Hague Dispatch to New York AmsricanJ
Drs. Heymans and Wiersma have
concluded their Investigations IN the
possible heredity Of character traits
and mental abilities, and announce
as the result that the fathers traits
predominant in children, particularly
in male children.
The Investigations covered twenty
years, and 5000 physicians in all
parts of the Netherlands dominions,
colonies included, worked hand in
hand with Heymans and Wiersma,
gathering material and giving them
the benefit of their personal investi-
cations. Here follow some extracts
from the report which is soon to be
given to the scientic world.
"Logic-The ability to think logi-
cally and to formulate thoughts and
express them in a convincing manner
is almost exclusively an inheritance
from the father.
"Among hundred sons of scien-
tific men, or men who achieved fame
as mathematicians, twenty-four IN
herited ability for scientific work.
Concerning the daughters Of such
men, the percentage was only four
teen. All the rest Of the girls were
either without ability for scientific
pursuits or too INDECENT to make use
of their talents.
LAS to mothers: Mothers scien-
tifcally inclined almost invariably
transfer their love for mental pur-
suits upon their sons, who are I'M
usually bright, having peculiar ap-
titude for study. The girls do not
profit by their mothers wisdom.
"a good-natured father, man
with fine sentiments, will have sons
equally distinguished. The same
characteristics in mother are not
inherited.
eff the father is inclined to crime
or to weakness of any sort, both
his sons and daughters are likely to
inherit these unhappy traits. Of a
hundred male parents suffering from
melancholia, epilepsy and mental I'm
balance, ninety transferred these
stigmata to their offspring.
"A mother inclined to sport, par.
ticularly the chase, will have sons
and daughters equally inclined. II
is very important that mother be
neat and clean in every way, as any
deficiency in that line on her part is
inherited by the children.
THE mother transfers upon chill
dren of both sexes any artistic talent
she may be possessed Of; from the
father the children inherit punctual
ity, the sense of honor and talent fol

The "God.With.Us' Cure for Human Ills

Rev. DR.. Robert Macdonald tells
in the July Woman's Home Compan-
ion how the church is once more be-
coming active in the cure OF human
ills. Through the Emmanuel Move
ment," started at Emmanuel Epls-
copal church in Boston, and taken
up by Doctor Macdonald IN his own
church in Brooklyn. the church IS
again saying, arise, take up thy
bed and walk"
1.-The complaint is going up from
everywhere" says Doctor MacDon-
aid, that the church is losing its
hold on practical men and women.
The reason is not that the church is
not faithful to its duty, but that the
world has increased it's facilities to
satisfy man. But here is new way
of reaching the man of the world.
His modern way of living, with all
it's worry, has gotten on to his nerves.
He sleeps poorly, is depressed and
melancholy, has nervous break
downs, is dyspeptic and sluggish and
miserable. The same man who will
not listen to a purely spiritual ap-
peal wants help, and wants it badly.
The church that can promise him
health with which to do HIS work,
wins him. His bodily pain is very
, real to him, for it is so much nearer
than cramped and dormant spirit
of which he is not conscious.
where does the Emmanuel Move.
ment differ from Christian Science
There can be said to be only one
point of similarity. 1t is that both
are DESTROYS of getting rid of dis
ease. But they no sooner join issue
than they disagree. The point o.
separation is in what constitute!
durable and incurable malady. TIL,
Emmanuel Movement treats onl.
functional disorders of the nervous
system Christian Science does no
distinguish between functional ant
organic diseases. Then, again, tn
Emmanuel Movement works hand il

such cases as they recommend, case
that are beyond the reach of drug

An Overdose Of Interest.
youths Conpanion-)


Enough is as good as feast,
and too much is a wearisome surfelt.
To be an object of interest is pleas
ing to the vanity, but carried to ex-
cess, it becomes boredom to the
flesh. An example Of such condi-
ton is given by A. E. W. Marsh in
Holiday Wanderings iii Madeira. y
Soon after our arrival at the inn
of Boaventura, not a child within
the radius of miles but heard of our
advent, and ran, walked, crawled
or rolled or howled until it was
carried, to have look at US. They
came and literally sat down in front
Of the hosiery, and absolutely re-
fused to leave US.
It was very embarrassing. for we
found it impossible to move a step
without being followed at respect
full distance by an army of juveniles.
We went to church; so did the chill
dren. We went to the stables; so
did the children. We went up the
road and down the road; SO did the
children. When we walked they
walked; when we ran they ran; when
we stopped they stopped.
It was my first experience of be-
ing Swallowed, and l did not like it.
1t was impossible to get angry, for
they were very quiet, maintaining
almost absolute silence as they
logged our steps.
At last, after protracted ramble
we got back to the inn, but we die
net lose the children. They calmly
resumed their seats round the door
ways, with an expression which
seemed to say, Strangers do no
visit us often, and therefore we in
tend to have our fill now you ar
! here"
We stood this for three or fou

presence, and the thought that per
haps they would remain outside al
night, wore on US so that we decides
to take up a collection to buy tn
lease the children were holding o
the ground. We subscribed all on
spare change, and gave something
to each child, on the condition tina
they would go home Immediately
It worked admirably-for a time.
For an hour we were left to on,
selves: then the news spread Of GU
generosity, and from all sides chi
dren trooped to the inn. The plac
was alive with them, and the
: brought their parents besides. 7
have bought up the lot would hav
ruined every man of us. We had t
grin and bear it. After the hous
was shut up we could still hear tn
visitors keeping vigil outside.

The word bungalow.

The bungalow theme Is
In every ones mouth.

The groom and the maid
Are studying plans
To see how they're made.
One kinds built of plaster,
Another of logs,
But all are constructed
With queer little joys.
There is one room in front
Half a dozen combined;
The others are fastened
Somewhere on behind.
But then, after all,
The most room is outside,
Where porches are broad
And mosquitoes abide.
It's the funniest thing
Whatever | do,
