It is wrong to suffer from Indigestion, when
Kodol means instant relief Please let II digest
your food.
Ii your ankle was lame you would aid it. If the
body weak you would rest it. 1t is far more
important to rest the weak stomach
Not by dieting, for that means partial starva
ton The body requires many sorts of food To
cut out some elements means to rob some parts
But let KodOl for a little time, do what the
stomach can't do. Then see how quickly the
stomach RECEIVERS.
Undigested food grows hard ard rritates the
stomach lining 1t causes iniammation-some
times liberation That is the source of the pain
1t also ferments and forms gas. 1t decays ana
breeds germs. And those germs load the blood
with their poisons That leads to serious
troubles.
Don't think that the stomach can ever get
strong while those conditions continue
Kodo consists OF all the digestive clements. in
highly concentrated form 1t disests all sorts OF
food. and completely, 1t does all that The health
lest stomach can do.
pepsin IS part Of it, bnt pepsin digests albumen
only. Starch requires something else. fat
thing else. Kodol combines all that is needed
Digesters which depend solely pepsin do only
what pepsn does They are but halfway treat
ments Other elements are just as essential, and
they must be in liquid form.
That is why KodOl is liquid And because it is
liquid like the digestive juices. its action is in.

Lumber Mills Reported To Be Run- ming At Full Ontput-Other
 Railroad News of In-

There is no scarcity of cars right now, but according to a local freight man. the chances are that within the next few weeks all of the roads will begin to cry out for more rolling stock. Business is better just now with the railroads throughout this section than has been the case In a great many years The encouraging. part of it Is that business with the railroads is i'm proving steadily every day, and while the business Is not expected to be any thing like the banner months Of 1906 still within the next few months 1t Is expected that the depression of the past few months will have been utter ly forgotten. If things continue to improve as they have done for the past few weeks. local railroad men are con fident that within a month or so, busi- ness will be in It's normal condition of year ago
 The Mobile and Montgomery Division of the Louisville and Nashville is feel ing the effects of this industrial re- vival proba bly, in a greater degree than any of the other local roads. For a month or so in the early part of last summer. most of the saw mills along the line of the Alabama and Florida branch, and also mills along the main. line. either shut down their plants en- ttreiy or reduced the forces and the Ootpdl oi tHe nliil 10 d Hll1luluin- Tney did not stay in this condition long but 1t is only recently that they have been ip the prosperous condition that they were before the depression began last faif t-
 At fhe local offices of the Mobile and Montgomery in the union station building everybody from Superinten- dent Mckinney down is on the jump to keep the various mills supplied with empties. The big mills at Brew ton and other points along the main line require daily average of four big box cars, and between two and three flats. The many mills along the line of the A and r: between Geor- giana and Graceville. Fla, together with the branch from Opp to Florala, being compelled to have nearly the same number of cars dropped at their sidings every day.

Cincinnati Winn Two.

New York, Sept. 25.-The Cincinnati team kocked out of the box at the Polo Grounds today two of New York's new pitchers and gave the local club double headed setback which with the other results of the day leaves New York but a single point of margin pen nantward. The pitchers who proved powerless to keep down the visitors list of runs were Maruuard. the acoui- sition from the Indianapolis Club. who was retired from the box In the fifth inning of the first game. after five runs had been scored by Cincin- natl, and Durham. whose first work in the box was of good quality, but who soon lost effectiveness and was relieved in the eighth by TayIor. after two more runs had been scored by the visitors.
 Now York lost the second game through inability to connect consecu- lively with Dubec's offerings. while McGinnity pitching for the locals. was knocked out of the box in the second inning when the visitors crossed the plate four times.
 CrandaIl pitched out the game Cin- cfnnati ielded clearly and at times brilliantly, while New York's work in the field was far below its usual form.

The committee of citizens and mem bers of the city council who are con- sidering the proposition which was re- gently made to the city by the Birm- ineham and Gulf Railway and Naviga- tion Company, held a meeting last night At the meeting the proposition of the company was discussed and gone over but no action was taken in the mat ter.
 It is thought that when the city council meets on Monday night, that the committee from the council and which was appointed at the last meet ing. will recommend the acceptance of the proposition of the navigating com pany. The Commercial and Industrial Association and the Selma Wholesale Grocers Association seems to believe that the proposition is one which the city should accept and 1t is believed that this will have some weight with the council in the matter.

PROTEST AGAINST ELECTION.
Huntsville Alderman Contends His
 Term Has Not Expired.

Huntsville. Sept. .)-At a meeting of the city council last night held for the purpose of making an of ficial canvass of the vote cast in the municipal election of Monday, Alder man NJ. K. Murray entered a protest against the ratification of the election of R. P. Weeden and J. P. Fuller as aldermen from the third ward and E. T. Middleton and J. NJ. Phillips as all dermen from the second ward
 Mir. Murray bases his protest on Sec tion ? of the municipal code of Ala bama. which provides that officers elected before the passage of the act and whose terms shall not have ex- pired before the first Monday in Oc- tober, shall hold office until their terms expire under the provisions of the law under which they were elected
 MT Murray claims that his term does not expire until April. 1911, therefore the election so far as relates to the second and third wards Is void. The protest of Alderman Murray was spread upon the minutes but the result of the election as previous stated was ratified.
