Kodol For Dyspepsia
Will Relieve You Almost Instantly.

Kodol supplies the same digestive
juices that are found in a healthy
stomach. Being q liquid, it starts
digestion at once.
Kodol not only digests your food,
but helps you enjoy every mouthful
you eat.
You need sufficient amount of
good, wholesome food to maintain
strength and health.
But, this food must be digested
thoroughly, otherwise the pains of
indigestion and dyspepsia are the
result.
When your stomach cannot do its
work properly, take something to
help your stomach. Kodol is the
only thing that will give the stom-
ach complete rest.
Why? Because Kodol does the
same work as strong stomach, and
does it in natural way.

HEALTH OF SCHOOL CHILDREN

anime those children whom the teach
er suspected as needing inspection. If
the child was thought to require re-
moval from school or a Temporary
stay at home to recuperate, he was
told to 20 home and seek further
medical advice. and such nursing as
the parents could give. This was
found to be unsatisfactory and now
more money is spent and more care
given. The appropriation has been
increased to $20.0 Notwithstanding
the fact that the school taxes are
high. Now the physicians visit the
schools quite often. and make their
examination independent of the teach
er. When he finds child who should

Of coming disease, he not only send it
home but the school board has hired
nurses to visit the child and suggest
to the parents the best way to fight
the ailment.
The nurses provided by the Boston
school board are women of tact and
good sense. They do not go in a
domineering way to take the place Of
the parents in caring for the child
but only to suggest what might be
good. They see whether the little
one has been sleeping in q room
where there is no pure air admitted,
whether the surroundings are sanitry.

The Misplaced Comma.

"Some lawsuits of the highest i'm

placing of comma" said a judge.
"When l first started to practice law
a Missouri editor came to me in a peck
of trouble to defend him against a
threatened libel suit growing out of
faulty punctuation. He had not meant
to give some innocent young women
the slightest offense when he wrote a

Burned 1t Into Memory.

One of the most enthusiastically
eccentric things ever done by Gelett
Burgess (and one Of the few true sto-
ries of him) was to spend three or four
days in constructing of cardboard,
mica and green velvet a little model
of an old New England house, COM
plete as to windows, curtains, lawn.
garden, trees and even including d
hammock with tiny hat and summer
novel and washing stretched out on a
clothesline on the back stoop. This
was for a dinner given to several lit
erary friends in New York, and when
the coffee was served he deliberately
set fire to the whole farm. His eX-
PLANTATION was that had it been spared
his guests might have forgotten the
affair, but they would always remem-
Der the destruction Of the house. No
one who ever saw the little house go
up in smoke on it's little hill of damp
moss will ever forget it.

The True Mechanic.

After a man has worked in shops
for ten or fifteen years there is great
desire for a change. Some want to go
out on a farm others think that the
invention of something that can be
patented will solve the problem, while
others want to own and run shop
themselves The latter is really the
true mechanic, but not necessarily the
man who will get out the most or even
the best work while working for a
boss, says Charles Henry in the Work
ers' Magazine On the contrary, he
will often be considered the lazy man
by the foreman when the work is of
an ever recurring character. Let, how
ever, some difficulty arise in connec-
ton with job or have some hard
proposition to meet and he will always
have a suggestion to offer that will
help to solve the problem, while the
ordinary man and the hustler will
stand around helpless and often dis
interested. He will have the elemen-
tary laws OF mechanics and physics at
his finger tips, will know enough OF
electricity to allow him to discourse
upon the subject in an intelligent man
ner, and he will be well posted upon
the mechanical progress of the day.

that Sarah Martin devoted her life.
Earning a bare subsistence of fifteen
pence a day by toiling from early
morning till far on into the night, she
yet managed to give up one day in the

poverty, but the result of her life's
work was the reform of the prison
system of Yarmouth.-London Chron-,
