Let Kodol
Digest What You Eat. Then You Can Eat What
You Like

You once could eat anything you
wanted, and your stomach would
digest it.
But now there's some things which
your stomach won't digest. Your
stomach absolutely refuses to accom-
modate you when you eat certain
food-so you have been forced by your
stomach to eat food which you de-
tested, and pass up those delicacies
that you would have really enjoyed.
There is now a way to eat any
thing you like, If you will let
kodol digest it.
Kodol will do this, too. It won't
talk back or command, but will go
right ahead with its work and digest
all the food you eat. Kodol will let
you eat anything you like.
Kodol will do exactly what your
stomach does, when your stomach is
we'll and strong, and more, when it
is tired or out of order.
Kodol is composed of exactly the
same juices as found in q healthy

subject with the great pastor Cad
man. of New York. the latter oppos-

and unchristian. When Rev. Cadman
was in Denison he made many refer

He declared with much force that if

no fear. for if war came. God would
defend the right with His almighty

Anarchists Using Esperanto.

That criminals are quick to avail
themselves of the newest scientific in
ventions in carrying on their occupa-
lions has long been well known. And
so it is perhaps more interesting than
surprising to learn that anarchists
have already grasped the possibilities
of Esperanto as a means of communi-
cation with their comrades in foreign
lands.
Quite recently the authorities of Bo-
hernia discovered, in what was sup
posed to be a miners labor associa-
ton, an anarchistic organization well
equipped, with ramifications extending
from Spain and Portugal in the south,
to North America in the west. Police
investigation brought to light a large
quantity of books, papers. documents
and letters of highly discriminating
character. 1t was found that the bulk
of correspondence with anarchists
abroad was carried on in Esperanto.
in which all the parties seemed to
have obtained a fair degree of pro-
ficiency.-Prague correspondence in

upward.
/ The lights dazzled his eyes and the
heat was terrific, but he did not realize
It. He knew only that seconds were
precious, and right into the very heart
OF the blaze he climbed to reach the
valve wheels that regulated the supply
for the burners.
In second the place was in dark
ness, but the band played it noisiest
and the ring attendants were patroll-
ing the ring and shouting that there
was no danger, even while they kept
their eyes on the single flame that still
burned above the tanks.
Unmindful of the hot burners Jim
forced his way between them, though
they scared his skin through his thin
SILK shirt, and a moment later he clap
ped his hand upon the flame and held 1t
upon the heated metal until the blaze
was gone.
For a moment he swayed dizzily in
the darkness, then from below there
came glare of light and he heard
Strome's voice above the blare of the

shouting, and Jim threw his blistered
arms about the reservoirs as the men
started to lower the apparatus.
They were within a few feet of the
ring when strength failed, and Jim let

his aid and, accompanied by two physi-
clans from the audience, they bore him
to the dressing tent.

BELTS REVEALS HIMSELF.

When the county commissioners, or
rather a majority of them Mr.. Simms
and Mr.. Harrison, announced some
time ago that they had decided to re-
move John Taylor from the superin-
tendency of the county poor farm and
place in his stead G. w. Belts, more
Familiarity known as Paddy" this pa
per took exception to the decision of
cause of their intentions to remove
Mr.. Taylor, but because of the selec-
ton of Belts for the place. This pa
per, and it was merely expressing the
opinion of many who have been COM
PEELED to form the acquaintance of
Belts, did not believe that he was fit
ted for the place in any way. There
was, and is, nothing in his makeup,
morally or mentally, which qualities
man for such a position where kind
ness of heart, patience and keen in
sight into the most pitiable forms of
human nature are necessary.
Events of the past few days telling
of the absolutely inadequate way in
which Belts has looked after the in
terests of the unfortunate inmates of
the county poor house. and of the ac-
tually brutal treatment which he has
accorded to at least one Of the hap
less men under his charge, have
demonstrated that the judgment of
this paper in the matter of Retts' APP
pointment was correct. Belts was a
farmer once and one of the county
commissioners has recently gone out
of his way to compliment him on the
manner in which he has managed the
farm connected with the poor house
and has also pointed with pride to the
fact that Belts has turned money into
the county treasury from the sale of
farm products which were said to be
over and above those needed by the
institution. From the tales of the in
mates of the way they have been fed,
except when visitors are about, it is
evident that in order to make a good
showing financially on the conduct of
the poor farm Belts has disposed of
produce that the inmates would have
been delighted to have had an
opportunity to eat.
While the principal charges come
from a weak. crippled and depraved
individual it is no reason why they
should be ignored. The usual course
is to hold a white washing" in
vestigation. Let this one be thorough
and without the presence or assist
ance of the superintendent If he is
practicing brutality as charged there
should be no delay about getting rid
of him

You certainly run up against funny
things in the country" said the young
man who had just returned from up
state, where his uncle had a large
farm. ION the way up to my uncle's
house I had to pass the stock yards,
where he kept lot of pigs. AS I
passed those hundreds of pigs seemed
to be having a regular stampede or
panic of some kind-they were rush
ing madly about, apparently looking
for something. I watched them for
quite a while, but could see nothing
but a small woodpecker sitting on the
fence. When I got to the house
asked Uncle Jim what on earth was
the matter with the hogs, they seemed
so excited.
"That so? Well, it was this way
there was a spell back some weeks
when I had abad cold, lost my voice,
and couldn't call those critters to their
feed, so got the idea of bringin' them
to the trough by tappin' my stick on
the wooden fence, and ever since them
pesky woodpeckers came around the
hogs just go crazy. thinkin' I'm calm
them to give them somethin' to eat"

A SATURDAY SERMON.
Who did sin. this man. or his parents?
st. John Ike.

Who did sin. this man. or his parents?
st. John Ike.
Attention has been recently directed
to the fact that the doctrine OF
heredity has gone wrong in two con-
spicuous instances and administered
a mild shock to those who subscribe
to it. The daughter of one of the
richest and at the same time one of
the most penurious women in the
world an elderly person who has
spent much of her life, if not her in
come. in litigation to avoid the pay
ment of what others believed to be
her just debts, is said to be devoted
to charity and to deny herself many
indulgences in order to carry out her
benevolence. This offshoot, it is pre-
dicted, will prove to be unusually
generous once she comes to her own.
Another. the daughter of a former
past master in the art of double deal
ing, a pitiless, constituencies figure in
the kingdom of finance, who tortured
as he amassed his millions and who
died unloved and unsung, has long
been an angel of light and mercy
But there are countless such ex-
amples. Avatism, If it be understood
at all, is imperfectly understood. 1t is
agreeable, of course, to reflect that
traits, tendencies, appetites that make
for our undoing proceeded, if not
from parents. at least from in
corrigible ancestors with whom we
were not familiar and for whose
trangressions and transmissions we
cannot be held responsible. Existence
would be intolerable. surely, were
there no scapegoats, nobody on
whom to cast the burdens of our
shortcomings. To a greater or less
extent this theory also obtains with
parents themselves. The mother can
see in the son the long upper lip and
the violent temper of the father and
the father discerns in the daughter
the protruding eyes and the thought
less extravaganza of the mother, be-
lief that accounts for many hot bat
tie waged over the tea cups.
But. as intimated, in specializing on
this subject it may be that we wander
far from the truth. Somebody has de-
clared the moralists attribute to
avatism large number of offences
which lawyers charge to guilty dis
W
tie to choose between the knowledge
or judgment of moralists and lawyers
it is not improbable that in this mat
ter the latter are right. In any event,
it would be disquieting to conclude
that what seems to be Unborn evil
characteristics and physical de-
formities or peculiarities are to be
handed down from generation to gen.
Grafton, never to die out and to be-
come intensified, perhaps, by coming
in contact with their like in the pro-
cess of outcrossing. Besides. If 1t be
conceded that the wicked impulses,
tastes and habits are legacies, that
same thing must hold true of the
good and no reward could be de-
bestowed upon virtue. With |
out reward it may be feared that vir- |
tue would disappear and that the
last estate would be something |
impish and shameful.
