BIG FAILURE At cLARlNoA.
Hunt & Clayton Company Goes to Wal
Liabilities $4,000.

lClarinda, April 13.-The first fail
ure that has taken place in Clarnda
in long time and the worst that ever
took place here is that of the Hunt &
Clayton company which closed its
doors last week. The company held
a meeting of the stockholders Tuesday
and decided that the best thing to do
in the face of their creditors was to
appoint receiver and accordingly Mr..
George Clayton was appointed as such
and had just entered upon his duties
and started to make an inventory of
the stock when stop was put to his
acts by Deputy United States Mar
shall Bryant of Creston who served no.
tice of involuntary bankruptcy on the
company which was investigated by st.
Joseph creditors. And as the matter
now stands the Hunt & Clayton COM
pany is in involuntary bankruptcy.
According to the statement made by
the secretary, d. G.. Miller. who has
also been the active manager of the
company, owes something like ninety
creditors the sum of over $4,000. 1T
is thought that the stock on hand will
invoice from 100000 to $4,000 and at
this time it looks as tho the creditors
would eventually receive from 35 cents
to so cents on the dollar.

In Indigestion the stomach lining is inflamed.

So long as that irritation is allowed to continue,

they limit themselves to the food that they

pecial to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo, April ia story coming
from an official source. states that the
Illinois Central has taken stringent
measures in the telegraph department.
and that the block system between
Waterloo and Chicago will be abol-
ished 1t was stated that the system
would be abolished about the 18th of
the present month.
The block system was established
on the western lines of the Illinois
Central little over two years ago and
since that time the company has been
able to get its trains over the road in
a reduced number of hours. The sys-
TEN is the safest method used by rail-
road companies for the getting of
its trains over the division, it be-
ing SO arranged by the working OF
the block system that two trains can
not be on the same track between two
towns at the same time.
The company is no doubt making a
serious mistake in the doing away of
the block system, but their reason for
the move is reported to be the result
of the nine hour law. At each station
on which the block system is in vogue.
three operators are required since the
nine hour law went into effect, entail
ing an expense to each station of $3.50
per month. The company feels that it
is too great an expense to be main
tanned by the smaller stations, and if
the smaller stations are not maintained
then the block system cannot be sue
cessfully worked.
1t is reported that this ruling will
take effect the 18th, and if it does,
about 100 operators will be thrown out
of work.

You don't want to always depend on artificial
digesters. We understand that. But you must
help the stomach while it needs help. Else it will
always need it.
Let the stomach rest for time, just you
would any organ that needs to recuperate. That
is all that is necessary and all that you can do.
But the rest must he complete. Halfway meas
ures will not prove satisfactory. You must sup
ply all the digestive elements, not part OF them.
Kodol alone can do that.
This is easily proved Try Kodol, then try
something else. You can easily note the diff
ference.
Some digestive elements require the liquid form.
They must be preserved in glass In any other
form it is quite impossible to do what Kodol does.
