The feeling of flanguor, the dull headache, the sensation of fulness, pains and tenderness in the region of the stomach, 6atulence belching and vomiting, the thousand and one symptoms of indigestion or other stomach trouble, of which most of us know more or less unfit both body and mind for hard work or continuous application. You wouldn'tsuf like that if you knew cer- tain remedy, would you T Yet such remedy exists
 Kodol quickly relieves all these symptoms, and by giving the stomach entire rest, speedily cures the disease itself
 Irregular hours mild dissipation, excessive use of tobacco, nasty eating or overindulgence in Q 4avorite dish frequently produce as unpleasant, though not lasting results as the most serious of chronic cases.
 If these temporary sufferers realized that Kodol relief, how many would neglect to keep it con stantiy in the house.
 You can go about your business and disregard pain in any other part of the body. But stomach trouble proGtrates- The stomach supplies the en- tire system. If it fails to perform its task these supplies are cut oh-and we cannot live without food,
 We know all this, but haven't efallen into the error of assuming that, once swallowed, food has accomplished the purpose for which it was eaten It hasn't, by any means. Until It Is properly digested, the system cannot assimiate 1t.
 1t remains in the stomach until it decomposes and might far better, not have been eaten st all Kodol digests this food without aid from the stomach, and digests 1t as well as the stomach itself could do the work.
 Through its aid, the food you have eaten is reduced to a form, in which the system can assim- Hate 1t and the body is built ups while the tired stomach rests. -.4.

SOUTH AFRICAN HOOTERS
 STRUGGLE WITH A LIONESS

Johannesburg. Dec. 5--From Messina comes a striking story of a Transvaal police troopers terrible encounter with a lioness. On his way from Rhodes's Drift to Messina. Trooper Eagle met some transport riders. who had just killed two young lions. A little fur ther on he encountered the parents, which were following the wagons up. The lioness approached and growled menacingly. and the trooper fired, his bullet shattering her shoulder. He at once made off for camp. intending to get assistance as he knew the lioness was badly hurt. She. however. head ed him off, and about quarter of mile further on sprang upon him, tear ing him from his horse. His carbine was knocked out of his hand. Fortu- nately. he landed on his feet, the horse clearing from under him when the iioness sprang. Eagle, who is a pow erful fellow closed with the brute, forcing his fingers of his right hand into her nostrils and twisting the nose as far as possible. gripping the animal round the neck with his left arm and kicking her in the bslly with all his might.
 All the time the brute was biting and cIawing him. Just as he thought he must succumb, she released her grip. possible on account of her wounded condition, but not before she had in- hicted several terrible wounds, almost severinE several fingers of the troop ar's right hand with her teeth, while there were several huge gashes of great depth in his thighs. The left arm was also badly lacerated. Find ing himself free Eagle picked Up his carbine and raised it again. but found himself powerless to use 1t owing to his wounds. Just then two men, who had heard the shot. came up and dis patched the lioness and afterwards conveyed the wounded man to Messina. Tn this district recently four lions were killed in a single week.

Stop Dyspepsia.
The one and only way you can do this, is with Kodol, and Kodol does it promply.

The trouble with dyspeptics is, that they're starving They have eaten, but their food is un. digested and consequently does them no good. Kodol not only relieves the patients sufertngs In such cases, but also removes the cause of suffering It relieves, by digesting the patients food and enabling his system to transform it into bone and muscle blood and brain. It cures, by allowing the stomach rest until it is restored toits natural condition.
 If the stomach is weak, the body is weak. If the stomach is strong, the entire body is strong.
 None of us want to suffer from indigestion or dyspepsia but the hurry and nervous tension Of the times, have made them the commoneSt com plaints of the generation.
 Often we eat to fast, too soon after, or too shortly before violent physical exercise or severe mental strain. Sometimes we are too busy to eat at al at the proper time and overload our stomach when the opportunity comes For awhtlei the abused organs stands the strain. Finally 1t colapses

by the gate TO the yellow lamasery. which

was n picturesque procession of wild, sun-

and mounted on ponies, that wendell its way
through the streets with weird music, ban

behind the chair. Crowds of foreigners

Outside An-ting hundreds of yellow -Iobed

awaiting his arrival.
It was a strange spectacle for the Tibetans
to witness Chinese sightseers following the
procession on bicycles along the broad ma
