Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.

You need sufficient amount OF
good wholesome food and more than
this you need TO fully digest &c.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach IL
II Is weak.
You must eat I'm order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat a suflic-
lent amount OF food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and IL must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do IL,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way TO do Is TO eat
what you want, and let Kodol d.
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak II needs help;
you must help IL by giving 1t rest,
and Kodol will do that.

A PIONEER LAWYER
OF COLORADO
IS DEAD
Especial to The sentinel.)

Denver. May 27.-Judge Thomas
NJ. Macon, one of the best known of
the pioneer lawyers of Colorado, died
at his home here yesterday of pneu-
monia. He was 80 years of age.
Judge Macon acquired the title
through his appointment as one of
the supreme court commissioners In
1887, which assisted in clearing up
a congested docket.
AS defender of d. Thatch er
Graves, charged with the murder by
poison of the rich widow of Rhode
island millionaire, he made a distin-
guished and brilliant fight.
But the notable spurs of Judge Ma
cons career were gained when he
entered the fight waged by the Rio
Grande and Santa Fe railroads for
the possession of the Grand canon.
Judge Macon came to Colorado
from Missouri in 1862 and located
in Canon City.
