KOd0l
VIII It -

What Il Is
Is a liquid and digests ALL foods.
Because food must digest
Undigested food causes trouble sooner or
later
Long continued indigestion results IN various
kinds Of dyspepsia, rheumatism, neuralgia and
other diseases, hard or impossible to cure
At the least, indigestion depryes the system
Of nourishment A poorly nourished body falls
an easy victim to the prowling microbes OF CON
tagious and infectious diseases.
Someone had to make a digester-a perfect
digester
We did It and named it Kodol
Why 1t Is
The perfect digester must be- in liquid form
80 that its action may be as quick as 1t can be
swallowed The perfect dlgester must be
harmless. KodOl contains no narcotic or other
hurtful ingredients. The perfect digester must
have tonic qualities
KodoI is a liquid.
Kodol increases foodenjoyment, and that with
out the leffects of toncs based on stimulants
kodol is the result of a careful analysis Of all
OF the digestive fluids in the mouth, stomach
and intestines, and Of observation OF their eff
fects separately and in combination, on all class
es OF food that people eat.
Albumen is digested by pepsin Kodol con-
tains pepsin II also contains hydrochloric
acid because pepsin cannot do complete work with
out 1t; and pancreatin because that too is neces-
saTy. There are fats and starch and other food
elements, to be looked after.
Kodol will take care Of any or all
What II Does
1t stops Indigestion by taking the place Of the
digestive fluids. II prevents disease by reducing
the tendency. II tones the system by restoring

without being a sedative. It empties the bowels

without purging. It gives Nature a chance %
cure. 1t prevents nervous dyspepsia
How It Does It.
In Natures way
II will not cure anything. No medicine win
Nature is the only cure for bodily ailments OF
accidents. A surgeon can't mend a broken leg
A doctor can't cure dyspepsia. The surgeon sets
the hone in place. puts the leg In a plaster cast
and helps the patient let Nature do the mending
The physician tries TO take the strain of the
part OF the system affected by the dyspepsia or
other disease so that Nature can effect its cure.
So Kodol works
1t rests any part or all Of the digestive appa-
ratus and let's the WORKOUT section rest in per.
fectly natural way.
How To Prove IT.
Try Kodol at our expense-we don't doubt
the result Once tried, you will wonder why you
have delayed so long. Don't hesitate because
other socalled digesters have failed YOU They
couldn't help you
Kodol will digest any food element anywhere
at any time. In a test tube-where you can watch
1t, II you choose-provlded Of course you keep Il
at stomach temperature and in motion
Better try tin stomach, tube or both.

NEVADA LEGISLATURE WILL
SOLVE MILITIA PROBLEM
Governor Sparks, II Is Said, viii En-
desvor 10 Have Law Passed Pro-
vidlns for State Rangers.

Carson, Nev.-The special session
of the Nevada legislature, called by
Governor Sparks, met at noon on
Tuesday After organization, Gov
ernor Sparks message was read. In
the senate the appropriation bill for
the session was passed. The only i'm
portant action taken was the passage
OF a resolution referring all bills mat
may be introduced relative 10 state
rangers, constabulary or military, to
special joint committee consisting
Of the judiciary committee, with Sen
ators eddie, Campbell, okane, Boyd
and Pine; the committee Of military
and Indian affairs, consisting Of Sen
ators Oddie, Martin and Locklin, and
the federal relations committee, with
Senators Brossmer Easton and Hun
ter.
The governor will from day to day
send any special message that be-
comes necessary.
There was no attempt to introduce
any measures in the assembly, and
from this action 1t seems that the
senate will take the lead in the mat
ter OF attempting to regulate the af-
fairs beween miners and the unions.
Governor Sparks, 1t is thought, will
endeavor to influence the passage of
a state ranger law similar to that Of
Texas, as he has the Texas law at
hand, and II has been read to num-
Der of the members. 1t is likely to
meet with strong opposition in the
lower house, where the labor union
has a strong representation.

Boyertown, Pas the result OF a
IRE, which threw the audience at
tending a performance at the Rhoad's
opera house, Monday night into a
panic. 167 people are known to have
lost their lives, while scores are suf-
fering from burns or broken bones
and the death list will undoubtedly
grow larger as a result of the awful
experience
The population OF the place is about
$500, and the disaster paralyzed the
town and the people are going about
dazed 1t is safe to say that every
body in the place either lost one or
more relatives. or was intimately ac-
quainted with those who died in the
FIRE. In several cases whole families
were wiped out.

there was a wild rush for the exits
of the building Men Of mature years
endeavorei to still the panic, but their
voices could not be heard above the
shrieks and screams OF the terrified
women and children, who composed
the greater part of the audience.
II seemed as though nearly the en-
tire audience made a mad rush for
the exits the moment the explosion
occurred

crowd those persons who were on the

stricken people, who were fighting
frantically to gain the exits. In the
mad rush section of the floor gave
way, precipitating scores of persons
to the basement.
1t was scarcely FIVE minutes from
the time of the explosion of the tanks
until the entire heart of the structure
seemed roaring furnace. There was
a mad scramble to the stairway, and
scores of women and children were
Knocked down and trampled upon,
many OF them doubtless being crushed
to death. At least fifty persons, real
izing that exit by the stairway meant
almost certain death, risked their
lives by jumping from the windows.
Limbs were broken and skulls were
crushed by this daring method of es-

road to pay twice what he would

tive Of the way some people want to
hold the railroad responsible for
every accident, of whatever kind, that
happens. Two Irishmen were driving
home from town one night when their
buggy ran into a ditch, overturned,
and they we're both stunned. When a
rescuer came along and revived them,
the first thing one of them said was:

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days OF
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years In
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and eftica-
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. ST.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years / had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times l
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
l followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.
