Why Letters Are Unwritten.

Why not keep up writing-desk sup
plies just as conscientiously as those
for the pantry? asks a writer. Few
households would get along a week
without sugar. salt or soap, yet how
many letters are unanswered for the
lack OF a good pen, a stamp or an en-
velope? 1t is not the expense. but
lack of thought, that keeps an INSULT
cient or meager supply of the neces-
sary articles on hand.

What Shall We Have for Dessert?

Try JELL-O, the dainty, appetizing, eco
nomical dessert. Can be prepared instantly
simply add boiling water and serve when
cool. Favored just right; sweetened just
right; perfect in every way. A 10c package
makes enough dessert for a large family.
All grocers sell 1t. Don't accept substi-
tutes. JELL-O complies with all Pure
Food Laws. f~avors-Lemon, Orange,
and Peach.

Woes of the Druaoist.

IF you want to meet the limit OF
nerve" remarked a druggist, you
must keep a drug store. Most people
seem to think the place is for public
accommodation, without the necessity
of n real patronage on their part.
We have had a good many nervy re-
quests, but n the other day capped
the climax. 1t was raining hard and
a woman we didn't know, who lived
three blocks away, telephoned us to
send her two two-cent postage
stamps"

The biggest fish story OF the pres
ent season comes from Iowa. A fish
erman's dog was tied to a buggy with
a fish line that happened to have a
bait on the other end. He became
united and plunged into the lake at
hand, dragging the spoon hook at the
end OF the line after him. A FIVE
pound pike grabbed the bait and
was landed by the .dog. You can be-

Bad Attack of pvsenterv Cured

"An honored citizen of this town
was suffering from a severe attack Of
%dysentery. He told a friend if he

Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
he felt confident of being cured, he
having used this remedy in the west.
He was told that l kept it in stock
and lost no time in obtaining it, ani

Smuggling Popular.

Smuggling is still a fairly ilourishing
Industry in England. According to
the annual report, recently Issued, of
the commissioners of customs for the
year ending last March. the number
of detected attempts to smuggle duti.
able goods during the past year was
the largest recorded since 1895. The
quantities of tobacco. cigars and spir-
It's seized were less than in the pre-
ceding year, but there was a consider
able increase in the number of seiz-
ures and of persons fined. says Home
Chat. No fewer than 3,l04 persons
were fined for smuggling, and the pen
alties recovered amounted to s21, 900.
The tobacco and cigars seized amount
ed to 11.222 pounds and the foreign
spirits to So gallons.

(By William Wordsworth.)
| wandered, lonely as a cloud
That floats on high DER wales and
hills,
A host Of golden daffodils,
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretch'd in never-ending line
Along the margin of a pay:
Ten thousand saw l at a glance
Tossing their heads in sprightly lance,
The waves beside them danced, but
they p
Outdid the sparkling waves in glee;
A poet could not but be gay
In such a jocund company!
l gaxed-and gazed-but little thought
What wealth to me the show had
brought;
For oft,|when on my couch l lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon hat inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Complete relief requires the digestion OF all
sorts of food, and Kodol alone can do that.
Nothing but Kodol contains all the elements
needed. We have proved this in numerous labora-
tory tests.
Other aids digest some foods. They give part
Of the help that is needed. Kodol gives complete
relief. This is easily proved. Eat what you need
Of the food that you want, and learn how Kodol
takes care of 1t.
And its action is instant. Kodol Is put up In
liquid form, as it must be. All the elements
needed for perfect digestion cannot be put up
otherwise.
The action of Kodol begins in the mouth, by
starting the flow of saliva. When it gets to the
stomach 1t does al that is necessary. 1t causes
complete digestion, and brings complete relief.
There is no other way to do that.
Our Guarantee
You can prove the effect of Kodol without risk
ing a penny. With the first large bottle, ask for
the signed guarantee Your druggist has it.-If
the results are not satisfactory, take the empty
bottle back with the warrant, and the druggist
will return your money.
This offer applies to the large bottle only, and
to but one In a family. You will then know what
Kodol does. And you will never again permit
yourself to suffer from indigestion.
Kodol is prepared at the laboratories of E. c.
Dewitt G Co., Chicago. The $1.00 bottle contains
2h times as much as the SOC bottle.

THE NEED OF RAN.

When both the area within which the present
drouth has prevailed and the variety of its
effects are considered the record it is making
has been without parallel for many years.
In the United States il has been felt from West
Virginia TO the AdirondackS. and from Maine
to the Rockies Large portions of Canadian
territory have also been under its influence.
Perhaps the most serious of its consequences
has been the lack of adequate check on
forest fires. which have destroyed standing
timber and piled lumber to the value of many
millions. and have wiped out whole towns on
both sides Of the international boundary. Two
in Wisconsin have just met the fate which
overlook Fernie Il. G.. few weeks ago and
the city of Cory. Penn. is only one of several
larger centres of population that have been in
imminent peril Thousands of persons have
been made homeless after a desperate but I'M
successful struggle with the flames. Mean
while the smoke generated has embarrassed
those who were watching for outbreaks.
and, by drifting hundreds Of miles from the
scene of destruction has b0rne silent teSti-
mony to the ruin it left behind.
In addition To the losses and suffering which
have resulted from forest fires this year. an
almost incnlcuabe amount of harm Aas re-
suited in other ways from scarcity OF water.
Crops have not been az plentiful rs they other
wise would have been. Farmers have also
been troubled to provide drink fer their live
stock Hundreds OF mills have been obliged II
shut down because the streams on which they
relied for power were dry. Millions of tons
