We guarantee the action of Kodol Please note
the offer below.
We claim that Kodol does all that healthy
stomach can do That it digests any food, at once
and completely.
Please prove this at our risk. Eat what you
need of the food that you want, and note how
Kodol acts. Note the absence of pain, OF fermen-
tation of gas.
Don't doubt facts that mean q great deal to
you, when they are easily proved.
There are many ways to digest part OF the food,
but Kodol alone digests all of it.
Pepsin digests albumen, but not starch or fat
So the many digesters depending almost solely on
pepsin are only partial helps.
A complete digester must be liquid. for some
must be preserved in glass.
That is why Kodol is liquid like the digestive
Juices. The result is. its action is instant. It
even begins in the mouth, by starting the fow OF
saliva.
The cure of indigestion requires. above all, that
you relieve the stomach.
Tonics and stimulants only spur 1t to action,
like whipping a tired horse. Weak organs
never gain strength by forcing
But digestion is necessary, else the food grows
hard and irritates the stomach lining. 1t fer
ments, and forms gas. and breeds germs. 1t de-
Gays, and loads the blood with poisons. And all
the food that fails to digest fails to nourtsh you
Your digestive powers are bound to grow
weaker SO long as those conditions continue

Miller has spent s125,O00.00 in giving
medical treatment to afflicted women.
Some time ago we announced In the

More than million women have ac-
cepted this generous offer, and as Mrs.
Miller is still receiving requests from
thousands of women from all parts Of

remedy, she has decided to continue the
offer for awhile longer, at least.
This is the simple, mild and harmless
preparation that has cured so many
women in the privacy of their homes
after doctors and other remedies failed.
It is especially prepared for the
speedy and permanent cure of leucor-
rhoea or whitish discharges, ulcera-
ton, displacements or falling of the
womb, profuse, scanty or painful peri

srowths; also pains in the head. back

nervousness, creeping feeling up the
spine, melancholy, desire to cry. hot
flashes, WEAKNESS and piles from any
cause or no matter of how long stand
ing.
Every woman sufferer. unable to
find relief, who will write to Mrs. Mil
Ter now without delay will receive by
mail free of charge a so cent box of
her simple home remedy, also her
book with explanatory illustrations
showing why women suffer and how
they can easily cure themselves at
home without the aid of a physician.

TRAER TELEPHONE WAR.
Trouble Arises Over Effort to Purchase
Plant at That Place.


Special to Times-Republican.
Traer, May 1.-THE telephone war
in this city is once more on in full tilt.
The situation is this: Traer has two
telephone lsystems, the United Elk
change and the Traer Mutual. A num-
Der Of the business and influential
men OF the city recently appointed
committee for the purpose of going to
Waterloo to interview an officer of the
United Exchange company, with au-
thority to purchase their plant at this
place. This committee was in no way
connected with the Traer Mutual plant
and was entirely Independent Of either
system A price could not be agreed
upon there, so it was determined that
the committee should come home and
inventory and appraise the plant of the
United Exchange, and when they had
Waterloo and consult with them fur
Their, regarding the price, etc.
While in Waterloo, the officer OF the
United Exchange Company offered to
the committee to buy the Traer Mu-
tual plant here. They Immediately In
formed him that the Traer Mutual was
not fer sale, so far as they knew, ana
also that the Traer Mutual was here
to stay The United Exchange plant
here was invoiced at $4,000, and the
same was satisfactory to the officer OF
the United Exchange company and
would have been accepted had 1t not
been for the fact that the United Ex-
change company insisted that il they
purchased their plant, they must not
under any consideration furnish tele-
phone service between Traer and 9th
er points at any other or different
rates lower than the rates now charged
by that class Of telephone companies,
commonly called independent This
they refused to do.
In the last issue Of the weekly pa
per, an article came out headed "Tele-
phone Proposition" and signed shy r.
T. Parker, manager Of the United Ex-
change plant Of this place, Tin which it
offered to purchase the plant of the
Traer Mutual Telephone company. The
same was addressed to the stockholders
Of the Traer Mutual Telephone COM
pany. This those interested consider a
bluff, and claim that 1t was made after
he and his company were given to un-
derstand that the property OF the
Traer Mutual was not for sale.

SAVED FROM AWFUL DEATH.
Woman Mired in Swamp Is Heard in
Nick of Time.

Mays Landing, N. J.-But for the
prompt assistance Of David Smith Mrs.
Mary Megargee, a wealthy woman re-
siding near here, would have perished
in dense swamp. Smith had just re-
turned from work when he heard loud
cries coming from the swamp. Think
ing at first it was a hoot owl he paid
no attention, but recognizing the voice
of a woman he put on gum boots,
plowed his way through the swamp,
and, after tumbling over tussocks
time after time and going over boot
tops in water, finally spied Mrs Me-
gargee standing waist deep in water
and holding to tussock. The woman
was greatly excited, her hair disar-
ranged and clothing soiled.
Smith carried the woman after
great difficulty out to clearing. She
said she had left home for Mays Land
ing, taking by-path for short cut.
She lost the path, but thought she was
going all right when she struck the
swamp. She tried to find the path, but
got farther in the swamp and had
been in that position for some time
when Smith heard her cries.
Mrs. Megargee is well-known in At
lantic City, and is a great lover of dogs
and horses. She employs several SER
wants. and is reputed to be very
wealthy.
