Our Guarantee

Go to your druggist today, and
purchase a dollar bottle, and if you
can honestly say, that you did not
receive any benefits from it, after
using the entire bottle, the drug
gist will refund your money to you
without question or delay.
We will pay the druggist the price
of the bottle purchased by you.
This offer applies to the large
bottle only and to but one in a
family.
We could not afford to make such
an offer, unless we positively knew
what Kodol will do for you.
1t would bankrupt us.
The dollar bottle contains ~ times
as much as the fifty cent bottle.
Kodol is made at the laboratories
of e. g. Dewitt 81 Co., Chicago.
Amador ledger., 1908-11-27

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

You need a sufficient amount of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach if
it is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat suffice
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol di-
gest the food.
Amador ledger., 1908-11-27

Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.

BETTER DROP THE SUBJECT.

The pro-Spanish press of Havana
is taking exception to the character OF
the American celebration Of the tenth
anniversary of the destruction of the
battleship Maine in the harbor OF
Havana.
This is topic that were best let ut
terly alone by the Spanish papers; It Is
a subject we OF America rarely revert
to and then only in terms OF profound
consideration that are its due as an
epoch-making incident in the history
of the Nation; we have had our hour
of passion and bitterness over this
ineffaceable outrage; we have punish
ed the Don for his share in it; and
while it will live as long as human
mind and memory exist to cherish it,
it has been permitted to become a
Sleeping dog" and had best be let lie.
Nothing short of insuperable arrog-
ance would urge man OF Spain to
even revert to the matter, since it
stands, forever, the sign, and sum, of
his peoples treachery and dishonor.

careless electorate place him in the

mans history that gives an atom OF
assurance that he would do anything
il he got there" except talk; that is
his forte, his one commanding faculty,
his sole reliance, so far. II is not
enough to warrant the tremendous
risk of placing him at the head OF the
Nation; for it he shall fail, there will
be nothing in American history to
match the failure; it will be stupen-
dous and comprehensive altogether,
and will serve but to emphasize the
bitterness with which the country
shall regard its folly in having elected

HE HAS HIS RIGHTS.

The latest phase OF the San Fran
cisco muddle presents some very dis
agreeable lights and shadows, with
District Attorney Langdon and his
colleagues, somewhat in the shadow
They must make very clear show
ing in this engagement or suffer re-
action inevitably bad, and which will
undo a lot of the real good they have
accomplished.
Ruef certainly has his specific rights
in the case if he can substantiate
them; an issue that will put it all
over" the prosecution. We do not
know conclusively, as yet, just what
the conditions were upon which he
was promised immunity nor what he
was bound 10 do to attain to that
specific favor; but the pleadings at
bar, as recounted in he press of that
city, in the case being prosecuted by
Ruef for the fulfillment OF the terms
leave no doubt in anyone's mind that
some such agreement did exist in his
favor.
The arch-scoundrel of the whole
vile imbroglio must have absolute jus
tice even if he goes scot-free forever
nothing less than this will stand in
the popular conscience.
1t seems to be question OF what
he has done to merit the. privilege: II
he has not fulfilled his part Of the COM
pact let it be shown and If he still
fails to make good, the people will
have certain recourse in effecting his
full and final punishment; but il he
does what he promised, then he has
a justifable right to exact his pound
of hesh," and being what he is it goes
without saying he will get it.
We again assert our disapproval OF
the policy OF granting immunity as
a means to an end in the courts of the
land; we believe it to be false and
dangerous course and in its stead we
insist that the law itself be upheld in
the first instance and not wait until
its violation has become custom ac-
cepted on all sides, to the detriment
of the code and the infinite loss of the
people.

THE VANGUARD HERE.

The coming of the Union Meat
Company to this city and the estab-
lishment of its branch plant in this
territory is but the beginning OF the
Portland-Astoria commercial NOV
ment that we prophesied last year
There will be other big concerns
adopting this policy during the pre-
sent year and once the bait takes
there is no knowing where it will
stop. 1t is good sign and one that
will be noted at the metropolis quite
as quickly as here.
The Meat Company is wise in its
generation and will profit by its in
sight; it will be on the ground when
other business are stalled tor room
on which to locate here; and that
they will do business is conclusion
that may we'll be accepted as final and
certain, because unless that were
known to the men at its head, the AS
toria depot would never have beer
broached SO surely.

THE POINT OF VIEW"

The ineradicable William Jennings
has been talking to the people of Co
lumbus, Ohio, on the Point OF
View" essentially, the Bryanesque
point of view, as he rarely, if ever,
admits any other viewpoint on
politics or other great public ques-
ton. For the sake of accentuating
his own estimates, he adverted to
what other people may have held on
the subject, but in the subjective, ten
tative way all lordly minds have, OF
cheapening the opinions of their fel-
lows and fastening the alleged logic
of their own dear conclusions.
For our part we are tired Of Mr.
Bryan and we believe the country i:
tired of him; and this without detract
ing from the mans claim to that re-
spect and good will that innure to al
excellent citizens who have attained
unusual prominence. But the man i!
a failure, in that he has but talked
while other men have wrought, ant
wrought well; and even admitting h
has talked we'll and convincingly ant
done much to enlighten and aid tn
people, he has yet to accomplish
tangible footing in the general schem
Of things and after score OF year
of extraordinary effort still remain
a private citizen and self-appointe

bred.

denied any marriage. The decision
upholds the validity OF the contract
marriage and grants the separation.
