To have perfect health we must have per-
feet digestion, and it is very important not
to permit of any delay the moment the
stomach feels out OF order. Take something
at once that you know will promptly and
unfailingly assist digestion. There is moth
ing better than Kodol for dyspepsia, indi-
gestion, sour stomach, belching OF gas and
nervous headache. Kodol is II natural d-
gestant and will digest what you eat Sold

WOMEN GROWING
 YOUNGER THEY SAY

Berlin. October 17-Dr. Adele Scheiber, the famous advocate of women's rights, has just published an essay entitled. ''Woman at Her Best which is causing much discussion. She says in part:
 ''The time is near when there will be no more old maids; certainly none ridi- culed on account of their years. Even to- day women referred to as old maids are rot the scarecrows pictured by writers as late as the last of the nineteenth cen tury Women are growing younger in ap- pearance, in manner and ambition-at least they impress one as younger than their berth certificates warrant.
 ''As a rule our women of B and 40 are younger looking, more elastic. fresher and more vivacious than men of the same age. There is an increasing number of marriages between young men and women their seniors by five or even 10 years
 Dr. Schreiber quotes from Swedish woman's journal the result of a query sent to it's readers: What are woman s best years?'
 The great majority of the answers fixes woman's best years as between 3o and 45. One Doetical writer states his opinion as follows:
 "A womans best years is the period when she is still young enough to be at tractive yet old enough to appreciate true friendship A very young person is sell dom a true friend She has not sense enough. and is too eaten up with her own importance to tolerate the short comings of others"
 Another writer says: "I prefer the woman of 40 or whereabouts, the woman of experience, for experience alone makes a woman warm hearted, sympathetic and universally kind"
 A third opinion offered reads as follows: That woman is at her best who com pines the light-heartedness of youth with an appreciation of lfe's responsibilities.

 Brother Josephus Daniels, who has come up to the enemy's country to suh for Marse Henry. is not uncanny when he solemnly asserverates that "Ohio Is just as surely in the democratic column as Nebraska" We haven't doubt that the results will justify the prognostication 'just as surely" as Nebraska gave the re- publican candidates 20000 majority four years ago.

To such an extent has this feeling grown in Wall street that the entire dis- trict has become a Chanler hotbed. The desire to be let alone and to remain tres from possible legislative interference is as strenuously advocated in the financial center as in the greatest personal liberty
 strongholds of the East Side and the Tenderloin. wild-eyed idea has taken
 possession of an important element of
 the voting population that if Governor
 Hughes is elected he will convert New
 York and all the large cities of the state
 into Sunday schools and take official charge of every man, woman and shil1
 in his Jurisdiction. It is a fool idea or course, but it is being worked energet- l ically and effectively to the obvious dis advantage of the excellent executive. h. cidentally, the turn-down of Governor
 Hughes will be body blow to state
 regulation of corporations Sy commis- sion. MT. Chanler is not saying much
 about 1t, but the men who are chiefly interested in a return to the old way of doing things with corporations are unan- | imousy supporting the democratic nom inee. The public service -'commissions have been doing business about two years now, and 1t must be admitted that they have not been altogether successful. They have been expensive and seem to have done little to abate the evils they were
 created to stop. They have enveloped
 themselves in dust and do not seem to l get anywhere. The reactionaries are
 strong and may succeed in securing m-
 portant notifications to the existing laws
 governing the commissions Next to kill i ing off the commissions entirely, the 'in-
 terests" would like to have the legisla-
 ture pull their teeth and Top off few
 arms and legs. Just how such a proceed | ing would benefit stockholders is not clear, but there is manifest wish on the part of those in control of every 1 species of public service corporation in
 the state to get relief from regulation by commission. Wall street is seconding this
 desire to the best of it's ability.

Price changes of stocks have not been sensational of late, excepting in some of the so-called cats and dogs. Under this heading are classed si the odds and ends and specialties listed cn the ex- change and traded in on the curb. When this phase of bull market develops, ex- perienced operators in the street become alarmed. They have been taught that when this stage is reached the market is in a dangerous position and on the eve of a break. The rule does not always work out that way, but the nmble-witfed and quick-acting traders pnt themselves in shape to switch at a moments warrl- ing and get from under. They are un- comfortable when the exigenciss of the market compel them to go home at night with long stocks charged to their ac- counts. This description does not apply to the great interests which are behind and under the market in it's broad sense They are not so easily influenced by sur face symptoms or by the usual signs and portents. It is said that superstition was an active factor in the makeup of the late Commodore Vanderbilt and that he was influenced thereby in important transactions and deals The weakness does not appear to have descended to any of the present day great market load- CTS. Imagine, If you can, MT. Hartman or MT Morgan or MT. Prick or MT. Arch bold consulting mediums as to what they should buy or sell, and how much. It is to smile.

BARNUM's OLD LION.
How ths Great Snowman Turned His
Death to Account,

How the Great Snowman Turned His
Death to Account
Among the features OF the parades
of the Barnum circus there was for
merly one that never failed to attract
attention. On the top OF one of the
wild beast cages lay an enormous lion.
He was not confined in any way, and
nervous people watching the parade
would shudder at the sight and con-
template the terrible possibility Of the
lion springing into the midst of the
crowd.
But the venerable old king OF beasts
had reached the leonine dotage, aud
stiffened muscles and blunted claws
rendered him harmless. he was as
mild. as a kitten and in the winter
quarters, where he was allowed to
roam at will, sometimes had TO be pro-
tected from the onslaughts of irreyer-
ent ana mischievous puppies.
One night he wandered from the
quarters. In the course Of his travels
be CHANGED on a barn where a meek
eyed COW was placidly chewing her
cud. A faint flicker of the slumbering
jungle spirit stirred bis pulse and,
with crashing blow Of the huge fore
paw. the COW was slain: then. lying
down beside his victim, be went to
sleep and dreamed of the time when be
was a shaggy little whelp playing with
bis brothers under the bright sun of bis
faroff African home.
In the morning the owner of the COW,
a stalwart female with the blood of
Irish kings in her veins. entered the
barn with milk pail in hand She was
filed with wrath at the sight that met
her gaze With keen edged ak in her
hand and grim determination in her
eye she fearlessly approached the sleep
ing lion. and when the men sent out to
search for him arrived he lay cold in
death. Bsrnum promptly paid for the
dead COW and engaged TO appear on
exhibition 'the woman who in mortal
combat had slain a lion"
