At times when you don't feel just
right, when you have bad stomach,
take something right away that will as
sist digestion; not something that will
stimulate for a time, but something
that will positively do the very work
that the stomach performs under Or
binary and normal conditions, some
thing that will make the food digest.
To do this you must take natural di-
gestant like Kodol for Dyspepsia. Ko-
dol is a scientific preparation Of vege-
table acids with natural digestants and
contains the same juices found in a
healthy stomach. Each dose will digest
moro than 5000 grains OF food. 1t is
sure to afford prompt relief; it digosts
what you eat and is pleasant TO take.

rived iherefrom; also to the ministers

Reported Miners, strike.

1t was reported this afternoon that
the union miners at both Hanna and
Rock Springs had gone on strike, but
the rumor could not be confirmed here
or at Cheyenne. A special from Butte,
Mont, to the Sunday papers stated
that all the coal mines in Wyoming
would close down on Sunday and 1000
men be rendered idle as the result of
the inability of the operators of this
state and the representatives of the
United Mine Workers of America to
reach an agreement, in connection
with the wage scale after a two days
session in this city.
Allegations of Bad Faith,
An agreement had been reached in
a subcommittee, consisting of John ].
Hart, representing the Union Pacific
railroad and President Thomas Gibson
of the Wyoming union, which was re-
.pudiated by the mine workers. This
led to allegations of bad faith on the
part of the mine workers, being made
by the operators and kilograms were
sent to Thomas L. Lewis, at Indianap-
oils, president of the United Mine
Workers, representing the action OF
the mine workers.
Small Reduction Demanded.
The reduction demanded by the OPP
orators will not exceed Is cents a day
for only certain classes of miners, in
Others the reduction amounting to 10
cents a day.
