Kodol is a pleasant, palatable, liquid preparation, that helps the stomach to do it's work in a natural way Being a liquid, it starts di- gession at once.
 Kodol supplies the same digestive juices that are found in healthy stomach. This is why it will stop the pains of indigestion quickly.
 Your stomach, being weakened, probably, by over feeding or over work, is unable to do it's work properly, and the natural result is indigestion, sour stomach, gas, or belching, which will soon result in chronic dyspepsia unless the stom- ech is given help.
 Nervous indigestion or dyspep- sia. It is not only annoying, but dangerous. If let alone, the result generally is gastritis, or oftentimes that fatal affliction-appendicitis.
 Don't neglect your stomach. Don't take any chances. There is no need for you to suffer, because a little Kodol now and then, will keep the stomach well, healthy and

When Your Stomach Hurts Take a Little Kodol
The pain will then cease-your stomach will feel good. Kodo stops the pains of indigestion and dys pepsa quickly because it dgests all the food you eat

strong. Do not diet or starve your. self That is not the way to get help.
 Eat what you want of the food you like, and let Kodol help the stomach do it's work. You can't be well unless you eat and unless you enjoy your food. You can't get nourishment from your food. unless you digest it. Take a little Kodol now and then. That is the only safe and sure way.
 You do not have to depend on Kodol all the time You only take it when you need 1t.

cences so dear to the heart of the pio-

has been said that the sun never sets
upon Great Britain's possessions. 1t is
equally true that the sun never sets upon
that land or cline where men and women
are not found who love and cherish the
name of Robert Burns. In far away
Australia where the farmer follows the
pillow, on the plains of South America
where the shepherd herds his fiocks, on
the ocean vessel that rounds Cape Horn
with the sailor before the mast, in the
barricks of the British soldiers. in far
away INDIAN brief, wherever men OF
British birth or descent are found, you
will hear them sing the songs of Gale
donias bard. but not with Britains. alone,
but with the lovers of poetry in all lands
and wherever man has been privileged
to read his humble verse, there they
have learned to love him. So that Burns
is no longer Scotland'S poet, but has be-
come the worlds poet.
The great men of this world were men
of humble birth They We're trained in
the school of adversely and of obscurity
and thus had a large hold upon the com
mon people. Burns was one OF the peo-
pie in birth, breeding and instincts. Be
cause of this there was ever a pathos in
his heart for the man who must struggle
if he would win in life's battle. / am
not here tonight to tell you that Burns
is one of the worlds greatest poets; he
was not But ! am here to say that it is
my humble judgment that long after
people have ceased to read Homer and
Virgil and Dante and Shakespeare, men
and women will read and laugh over and
weep over the humble poems of Burns.
Neither, am l here tonight to tell YOU
that Burns was a perfect and blameless
point. he was a very imperfect man, but
before the Great Throne before which We
all must stand l think it will be said
of him HE was more sinned against
than he snned. and | am reminded here of
what our own American poet, Whittier,
has said of him:
