During the past half dozen years
there has been a constant cry for pure
food. and this clamor has caused near
ly all the states. and the national gov
eminent as well. to enact pure food
laws. If there has been need for re-
form It has been in lettering the
classes of foods which are intended
to feed the millions as well as keep
them in good health, and improving
the conditions under which they are
prepared.
Such frauds had grown up in food
stuffs that it was imperative that
stringent measures be taken to pro-
tect the lives and the health of the
people. unprincipled persons engaged
in manufacturing of baking powders,
fiavoring extracts. the selling of spices
and coffees and teas, and their prod
ucts were the vilest combinations of
drugs and other materials. These
goods were disposed of to dishonest
grocers, but the chief way of selling
them was through travelling agents.
and direct by mail. Not many months
ago the pure food department of a
western state secured a shipment of
more than a dozen different articles
of food from a concern that sold its
products direct to the consumer.
Analysis of all the articles proved
each and every one adulterated. Bak-
ing powder was composed of cheap
-four. starch. tartaric acid and alum
what was labeled pure spices" con-
sisted of ground bark and n highly
concentrated fiavoring substance. So
It was with all the goods. Since the
pure food laws have been in effect,
many of these concerns have quit
business.

A great many people imagine they have heart trouble when the fact is that the whole trou- ble lies in the stomach. The pains in the side around the re zion of the heart are not neces- sarily heart trouble. We sug- gest that you start with the stomach and whenever you feel a depression after eating or whenever your food seems to nauseate take Kodol. It will. not be very long until all these ''heart pains will disappear. Take Kodol now and until you know yon are right again There isn t any doubt about what it it will do and you will find the truth of this statement verified after you have used Kodol for a few weeks.

When you think of Indigestion think of Kodol, for is without doubt the only preparation that completely digests all classes of food. And that is what you need when you have indigestion or stomach trouble something that will act promptly but tho roughly; something that will get right at the trouble and do the very work itself for the stomach by digesting the food that you eat and that is Kodol It is pleasant to take.

AUSTRALIAN RAIN.
When Il Does Fall II ?ours Down In

When Il Does Fall II ?ours Down In a
Perfect Flood.
How different things are in the old
world from what they are in the far
away tropics!
"They had no rain here for a fort
night and they called it drought!
wrote an Australian from Scotland in
a scornfully superior tone calculated
to induce the belief that it never rains
in Australia and that droughts last q
hundred years. Not So Australia IS
the land Of contrasts. A drought has
lasted for seven years. But what is
there even in Scotland to compare with
the persistency of Australian rain
when it does see fit to fall?
For eleven weeks without stopping
did the rain continue to moisten the
dry places Of Sydney some years ago,
washing out most cruelty the brief,
bright season Of winter, when the Aus
tralian looks for living instead OF ex-
istence and peace instead OF pressure.
And what rain! It shot from the clouds
like arrows, and the whole world was
battlefield during that July. AS the
arrows Garted into the earth the earth
rose ard dashed into the air, and rain
and mud met enc, grappled with each
other day after day, night after night,
week after week. And the battle was
neither to the rain nor to the mud. \
strange and horrid situation arrived.
Sydney ran clean out Of galoches.
For two weeks not galoche was to
be had in the rain dreoched city for
love or money. Then fresh shipload
arrived from somewhere or other. And
then-the rain stopped-London Mail.

PUBLIC PUNISHMENT.
The Days OF the Whipping Post,
Stocks and Branding Irons.

Stocks ana SHSflGl:S iFogiS.
Up until the end Of the war and q
little while after the whipping post and
stocks stood rot far from the north
west corner Of the courthouse and be-
tween that building and the present
posto6ce, and there the last whipping
took place, though as it began it was
sought to be stopped by federal Off
Ger. The sheriff was, however, simply
carrying out the mandate Of the old
court Of pleas and quarter sessions
In those days the stocks and the
whipping post, too, We're special attrac-
tons. notably to boys. The latter were
allowed to ridicule people who sat in
the stocks, which held their hands and
feet, Sut not to throw anything at
them.
Of course this deprived the boys Of
some degree of pleasure yet they con-
trived to get q good deal Of fun out Of
the thing anyway. It seems odd now
even to think Of such scenes as these
must have been. Figure to yourself
passing by the courthouse green at
Charlotte or Raleigh and seeing Q gen
tleman held by the ankles and wrists
By wooden bars, sitting there in the
sunshine for all the world to look at.
Those were the days Of the branding
iron too. 4 set of gives of iron, in use
for holding the ankles or wrists, are on
exhibition here. but Of branding irons
there are none. These were used here
in January, 1865, for the last time

poly woman with white complexion
who sits at her window half Of her
tine doing nothing. She has a boy Of
about ten. Her life seemed so simple
and still T didn't see how she lived
Evidently she didn't support hus-
band, but who supported her? The
thing worried me, but last night I
found how it was. Fer husband is q
violin player who plays al night long at
some concert ball and sleeps thelivelong

Blankets OF Bark.

In Ecuador, one OF the South Ameri-
can republics, the bark Of tree which
grows on the slopes Of the Andes is
utilized for the making Of blankets
The blanket is over six feet long and
over five feet wide and is as soft and
pliable as though it were made Of fan
mel. It is about the thickness Of a
good flannel blanket and can be rolled
up and put in a strap without hurting
or njuring it. This tree or bark blan-
ket is merely a strip of bark cut from
a section Of the trunk Of the blanket
or denajagua tree. The Indians make
cutting around the trunk to get 1t.
and they prepare It by soaking 1t IN
water until it is soft. It is then pound
ed so that the rough outside can be
stripped of and the inside alone left
The inside IS Of fine fbers SO joined
together by nature that it makes q
beautiful blanket, warm enough to be
csed as a cover and soft enough for q
mattress.

double their original size and then
riveted together, while the figures We're

ed on TO the face. The clock stands
fourteen inches high and is eight inch
es broad at the base. That 'Atime Is

more or less agree. but this is case
in which the saying might be reversed
and still remain true. The clcck is
