Nyomina Senators In Debate

wyoming Senators in Debate
An interesting and unique feature of
the senate discussion of the appro-
priation for the department of agri-
culture was the running debate be-
tween Senators Warren and Clark of
Wyoming. The difference of opinion
grew out of the item for the forestry
bureau Senator Warren had the bu-
reau's end Of the discussion and Sen
ator Clark the opposition. The debate
showed a keen knowledge on the part
of both in forestry and governmental
matters. The senate, however, accept
ed the view of Senator Warren and
voted a large appropriation.
The senate and galleries were much
entertained by the animated but ex-
ceedingly courteous discussion be-
tween the Wyoming men.-Wyoming

These are the results of Indigestion:

These are the results of indigestion: ) NJ
The undigested food grows hard, and ~irritates
the stomach lining. 1t causes infammation--per-
haps liberation. That is the source Of the pain
And that is why occasional indigestion often
leads to chronic dyspepsia.
Undigested food ferments and forms gas. That
distends the stomach, causing symptoms often
called heart trouble.
Undigested food decays and breeds germs. The
germs create poisons, and the food ducts of the
bowels suck those poisons into the blood. That
leads to blood impurity, and all its results, Often
to kidney trouble.
Then food that fails to digest is wasted, and
the body is robbed of its nourishment- In these
ways scores of serious troubles are due solely TO
Indigestion.
The remedy is to relieve the stomach. To let
Kodol, for a little time, do its work for it.
TONES and stimulants only spur the stomach to
action. 1t is like whipping a tired horse.
The food must be digested, for you must have
food. And you must stop the irritation. Kodol
digests all food. Immediately and completely. The
result Is relief and rest. You Will be astonished
to see how quickly the stomach RECEIVERS then.
Kodol is not like anything else. Most digesters
depend almost solely on pepsin, and pepsin digests
only albumen.
Starch requires something else; fat something
else. A perfect digester must digest every food.

ANOTHER AUTOMOBILE

Will Barnett of the Three Rules has
purchase a Lambert automobile, which
is now at Longmont, Colo, and which
will be brought to this city within a
few days. ~
, 1908-05-18

And such a digester requires the liquid form.
So Kodol is liquid. like the digestive juices. For
this reason It's action Is instant. Its effect even
begins in the mouth. by starting the flow OF saliva
Kodol digests all food completely. This fact Is
easily proved. And you can prove, just as easily.
that other means fall to do that. They Affect
only part of the food.
Don't look for a cure for dyspepsia. There IL
none. Nature must do the curing.
Treat the weak stomach as you would a lame
ankle. Relieve 1t and let it rest.
Not by dieting, for that means partial starva-
ton. You need all the food elements, all the
nourishment you can get. Eat what you need Of
the food that you want, and let Kodol digest 1t.
You won't need Kodol long, unless the trouble
is chronic. For most weak stomachs recover very
quickly with rest.
Our Guarantee
We ask you to prove, at our risk, that the facts
are as we state them. Buy a large bottle Of
Kodol, and ask your druggist for the signed guar
antee. II you are not satisfied, take the empty
bottle back with the warrant. and your druggist
viii return your money. There will be no quibble
or question.
This offer applies to the large bottles only, and
to but one in a family. That is sufficient to prove.
Then please tell others how much Kodol does.
Kodol is prepared at the laboratories of E. C.
Dewitt & Co., Chicago. The $100 bottle contains
u times as much as the SOC bottle.
, 1908-05-18
Tired Stomachs

What they need is rest. Don't force them by stimu
lants. Don't starve yourself by dieting. Simply lei
Kodol, for a little time, do the stomach's work. There
is no other way. Please note our guarantee.

William Jennings Bryan. Mr.. Bryan
has been running for President FOR
SO many years that the younger voting

presidential races. Sji

IL so. In what capacity?
Second. Did lie. at the tine or hold
ing office. demonstrate his ability I'd

achievements ror}the Gauss lie repre-.
scented; if SO, what?
The above questions arc asked from
sincere desire TO know something
about the man. Tho writer has always
Understood that Mr.. Bryan was great
orator, but he possesses the idea that
oratorical ability alone Is scant recon.
lnendation for a man seeking to be
President of the United States.
WILLIAM II. THOMAS.
panvIlle. va.
Mr.. Bryan is a native OF Illinois, bu.
In carly life settled In Nebraska, and
began the practice OF law. III 1890 he
was elected to Congress and scored his
first oratorical success III that body
with speech OH free wool.
Although then a young man. his
speech was pronounced BY Mr.. Kill
gore to be the best that had been. de-
1iverea on the floor OF the House In
ten years. The reapportionment OF
1891 divided Mr.. Bryan's congressional
district In such way as to make his
canvass in the fall OF 1892 very DIFF
ficult. The district was admittedly Re.
publican by majority OF 5000, but
he pulled off his coat and turned that
majority into a Democratic plurality
of lag. During the session Of Congress
that followed he delivered speech on
tariff reform, which gave him ma.
tional reputation and was OF great help
I to the cause which, he championed. He
was also an advocate OF the free coin
age Of silver.
When he left Congress he returned
to Nebraska and became editor-in-
chief Of the Omaha World Herald. Tn
that capacity he continued to champion
inc cause OF free silver, ana IN -he
Democratic Convention assembled In
Chicago in 1895, he made his famous
speech. which set the delegates wild
and secured for him the nomination cor
the presidency.
AS Mr.. Bryans career in public Of
flee has been SO limited, he has hal
scant opportunity to demonstrate his
ability to do things" but he has been
a close student of the, science OF gov
ernment and of public questions, he has
repeatedly spoken and published his
views on needful reforms. and he may
fairly claim. as he does. that number
of the reform measures which Prcsi-
dent Roosevelt introduced and carried
out were first suggested and advocated
By himself.

Post gives Mr.. Cortelyou's chemical
formula" as follows: Caution, so: ret
icence. 20; reserve. 90: secretiveness,
20: wariness, 80, and language. trace.
The Cortelyou Office in the Treasury.
he says, is the most majestically still
place In the world. Those who speak
above whisper there are frozen with
glance, and those who laugh-not
that there is anything particular to
laugh at-arc sent to the Bastil!e for.
life.
Mr. Cortelyou is the greatest study
in still life that this country has ever
seen. Mr.. WI Ting Fang. as every
body knows, asks great many ques-
tons that nobody answers. Mr.. Bryan
answers a great many questions that
nobody asks. Mr.. Cortelyou does
neither. Language is a superiority to
him. Others preach, but he lives, the
silence is- golden-rule First Of all he
was quiet Secretary to the President.
Then, in turn, he became still Sec
rotary Of Commerce and Labor, a silent
chairman OF campaign committee, a
| noiseless Postmaster General and {
spaechless Secretary Of the Treasury
In all this time, roughly speaking, he
has never said word.
