The president of one of the we'll
known colleges tells this story Of one
of his professors of chemistry:
It seems that the professor and his
wife had not agreed upo nsome do
mestic question, the professor: assrt-
ing that his means would not war
rant the expense involved. His wife
had used all her powers Of persuasion
without avail, and at last, resorted to
the final feminine expedient-a flood
of tears. At this the professor picked
up his hat, but paused to remark.
"You might save yourself the trou-
BILE Of that, m ydear; your tears have
absolutely no effect upon me. Why
should they, being nothing but com
mon water with a very small per.
centage of PHOSPHORUS salts and a

The financial editor of, the New

the conditions of the west it need only
be said that the interior communities
Of this country are the soundest and
richest parts of it; that where they
were the hopeless debtors of the east in
1898, 1873 and 1857, they are the bankers
and creditors of the east today" We
knew that before, but it sounds good

the office from February 1, 1905, to

into the state treasury, but since
leaving Office he has been permitted
! to make good the deficiency by in

provides that the oil inspector shall

for many years rheumatism was con-
sidered an incurable disease, now it
is one of. the easiest Affections of the
human body, to conquer. Medical
science has. proved it not distinct
disease in Itself, but symptom
caused by inactive kidneys. Rheu-
matism is uric acid in the blood and
other waste products of the system
which should be filtered and strained
out in the form of urine. The kidneys
however, are of spongc-like substance,
the holes or pores of WHICH will some
times, either from overwork, cold or
exposure become clogged and mac

eliminating NtheseS bofsons from the

The Value of Good
Digestion
Is easy to figure if you know what your stomach
is worth. Kodol keeps the stomach at par value,
by insuring good digestion. kodol cures Dyspepsia.

Kodol insures good digestion by
absolutely duplicating Natures

ing all food taken into the stom-

While Kodol is doing this, the
stomach is resting-and becoming
strong and healthy. A strong and
healthy stomach guarantees

The lion had attacked the ponies
driven by Mr.. Bigelow, when cow

soing the lion around the neck and one
of the front legs. The animal was

Comrade of Her Children.
With each of her children Mrs. Taft
is not only the, mother, but the COM
rade. This IS especially true Of her
young son. She is never too busy to
enter into his sports. listen to his
plans and troubles, read to him or
have him read to her and be his play
fellow, confidant and friend.
Mrs. Taft dresses richly and lastly,
but quietly. She is not much given to
following every within and novelty of
fashion: While always appearing well
gowned she, Is of the type of woman
whose clothes are not the first thing
noticed about her. 1t is her face and
carriage WHICH attract attention. She
would not be termed beauty. but has
distinguished appearance, a gracious
ness and. distinctive individuality
that win her popularity with all
that meet her, a popularity that grows
with longer acquaintance
Sweethearts of Early Days.
Mr., and Mrs. Taft were childhood
sweethearts, their families living in
close proximity on Walnut hills, Gin
cinnatf. They were married as soon as
Mr.. Taft was out of Yale. That was
over twenty years ago. Their path
since that day has been one of steady
advancement without reverses. There
have been few over whom the skies of
fortune have been so propitious. Both
the children of. Judges, both receiving
college education, playmates from
youth and always In accord both in
tastes and ambitions, they have met
no defeats and but few hardships.
Seemingly there. is but one point of
divergence between the two-that of
religious belief. Mr.. Taft is a Unita-
rian, while his wife is devout Epls-
copalian- On this point they simply
agree to disagree, each claiming and
granting complete liberty of opinion
In the Taft home are many gifts and
priceless relics which have come from
all about the earth. One is present
from the mikado, another from the
Philippines, others from Cuba or Pan
ANA. Russia or their own native city
of Cincinnati They are suggestive of
the globe trotting done by the man

In all this journeying to and fro over

This has given her cosmopolitan
