For some time the depositiors Of the
defunct First National bank Of Chart
ton, through their attorneys, have
been trying to have the $3.50, 900 claim
Of the Modern Woodmen of America
thrown out. They have finally sue
ceeded in getting ruling from the
controller of the currency that will
reverse the position of the two parties
in the case and the Modern Woodmen
will be put on the offensive.
The case will have to be tried in
court as before, but the Woodmen will
now be the plaintiff and the depositors
the defendants. which is an advantage
for the depositors.
Receiver Jamison says there is now
a little over $26O,OOO in hand for the
depositors, and will ask permission to
pay the first dividend as soon as the
preferred claims are ruled upon by
Federal Judge Smith Mcpherson, who
will be in Charlton this week to hold

D. " +
Nature has provided the stomach with
certain natural fluids known as the di-
gestive juices, and it is through these
juices that the food we eat is acted
upon in such way as to produce the
rich, red blood that flows through the
veins of our body and thereby makes
US strong, healthy and robust, and it is
the weakening of these digestive juices
that destroys health. It is our own
fault if we destroy our own health, and
it is so easy for anyone to put the
stomach out of order. When you need
to take something take it promptly,
but take something you know is reli-
able some thing like Kodol For Dys-
pepsia and Indigestion. Kodol is pleas
ant to take, it is reliable and is guar
anteed to give relief. 1t is sold by E.
