Some of the state papers have been
recently discussing the court of
claims of which Hon. Frank Plumley
of Mortified is chief Judge. This
court was formed to relieve the legis-
lature of the work of considering a
lot Of claims against the state and has
served its purpose without complaint
but at an expense out of proportion
to the amount of business brought be-
fore 1t. 1t seems to the Banner that
this business might safely be left to
the state auditor and the expense OF
the court of claims done away with
The auditor passes on the great
bulk of the bills against the state and
1t would be a small matter to add to
the list the few that now go before
the court of claims.

Eat What You Want
And let Kodol digest it.
There can then be no fermentation,
no pain, no distress indigestion.

These are the things you have to get rid Of but
you cant do it by starving yourself. Weakening

some article Of food you find does not agree with
you.
And here Is where Kodol is so effective. Il di.
gests what you eat and does 1t completely. 1t en-
ables you to eat just what you like and just what
your appetite demands.
Kodol doesn't simply digest certain kinds OF food
IL digests every kind of food. 1t acts as Nature
acts and it assists Nature in assmilating the food
it helps Nature get out of the food what there is in
it-strength, blood, bone, muscle and life.
Kodol is for you. Kodol is for anyone and every
one who needs it and we want you to try 1t now
and be convinced that you can eat Just whaA you
like II you will only let Kodol digest for time
that which you do eat.

ly say you have received benefits from 1t, return

Eat SUFFICIENT amount Of good, wholesome food
every day. Eat what the appetite calls for. be-
cause that Is what the health and strength OF the
body require.
Then don't worry about indigestion or dyspepsia;
but take Kodol occasionally--at the times when
YOU need It, and your food will be digested COM
pletely but don't diet and don't deny yourself the
food you like, for dieting is unnecessary; 1t Is
wrong to be hungry.
Food is fuel for the body. 1t furnishes blood
bone, health and strength; but 1t must be dgested
first and you are not going to be healthy OF STRONG
rs long as your stomach fails to do It's work.
Don't fear to eat the food you like for as you
know the body requires q variety OF 1t and that
which you don't eat may be the very thing you
need to supply the necessary strength for your body
We say eat what you want and let Kodol digest it,
Nor do YOU have to take Kodol all the time; you
wouldn't want to have to take 1t all the time.
Take It lust when you need it, and in that way al

But when you do eat what you want and what
YOU like best be sure that all the food Is digested;
you must be that the stomach is able to digest It,
Else that portion Of the food, which remains In
the stomach undigested, irritates the stomach I'm
