Fort Dodge, Oct. 22.-The charge
made by a Fort Dodge newspaper
friendly to Major Lacey and sent out
to other newspapers of the state that
Lacey had been refused the use of the
armory here for a political meeting is
untrue. The story was circulated for
political purposes, it is believed, and
to gain sympathy for Lacey in his
campaign for the senate.
Carl Quist. director of the Fifty
sixth regimental band, was quick to
resent the imputation. He said this
morning;
That statement is both untrue and
very unfair. l do not understand the
object in saying such things. If in
tended to hurt somebody politically 1t is
much more likely to hurt the band
and Company c.. who are helped by
all classes of people here and CRATE

found that Major Lacey's dates We're

You Need Not Diet
When you have Dyspepsia, Indigestion or any form Of
Stomach Trouble, take Kodol and you then what
you want for Kodol will digest it,

Starvation seems strange remedy for any dis
generally resorted to- in of indigestion other
stomach trouble. Even yet, it is sometimes tried
Such remedy is worse than useless. Every day
of life consumes portion of the tissue of the
human body. The food eat serves to repair
this waste, and you can't build up the system by
Withholding material for the purpose
If the stomach is in such condition, that 1t cam
not furnish it, the task must be performed without
the stomach s assistance. Kodol is the only pre-
paration which accomplishes this. There are
others which act certain kinds of food but
Kodol is the only one which digests them all, as
the stomach dgests them.
Man is so constituted that he needs a variety of
food; to reduce the variety, always produces bad
results.
In ninety-nine cases in hundred, indigestion is
due to lack of of the elements, which con-
stitute the natural digestive juices, usually the
absence of hydrochloric acid for the stomach.
1t IS by the action of these juices, that food is
reduced TO form ia which it be transformed
into living tissue. With any of them lacking. it
is easy see that the process OF digestion cannot
be perfectly performed.
With the single exception of Kodol, all prepare
tions for the relief OF Indigestion lack certain OF
these elements Consequently, they cannot digest
al classes of food.
Kodol contains them all. It will digest any
thing that the healthy stomach digest. 1t is
Natures own cure.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1908-10-22

Don't resort to stimulating toncs. Such drugs
simply urge the already overworked stomach, to
renewed exertions.
1t is like squirting tired horse For moment
he responds. Then outraged Nature, reasserts it
self and he falls in heap. Sedatives are equally
ineffective. AT first they deaden pain. but after
ward comes the reaction, and keener suffering than
before.
What the stomach needs, is rest. To obtain it,
substitute must be found for the natural dlges-
tive juices. Kodol is the only substitute, which
acco1nplishes Natures results by Natures own
methods
1t gives the stomach perfect rest, by digesting
what you eat. No dieting is necessary. Eat all
the good food you want build up the system and
at the same time relieve the stomach from all
responsibility. The rest will restore it to its
natural condition and soon effect complete cure
This is the only rational and common sense
method of aiding Nature.
