Elmer Z. Laughlin, OF Rich
Hill, who was brought here by
the bank Of Holden, is a corn

increase in the value OF the farm

opera house TO a good sized
crowd, which was intensely in

Missouri Corn Growers Assoc
iation for three years, and is one
Of the best posted and most
practical men in the state on that

THE DISEASE is CuRABLE.


The disease which ranks second to
consumption in fatalities and which
has been deemed equally fatal is
Bright's Disease. That II is now posi-
lively durable is known to compare
lively few people. Unfortunately, the
new treatment for Bright's Disease
comes under the head of proprietary
preparations, and medical ethics for
bid recognition of its merits. The
Herald takes the view that having
positive knowledge of cures effected,
its duty to its readers and to humanity
Is to state the facts The publisher
knows of two cases in which 1t has
effected permanent cures and of two
others who had practically abandoned
hope, but who are now regainins
their health This paper is not pecu-
nlarily interested, and this statement
Is made solely with a view of aiding
such people as may be afflicted with
Bright's Disease and have despaired
OF recovery. Should any such receive
benefit we will feel amply repaid foi

path.-Livermore (Cal) Herald.

SUBMARINE BOAT
INQUIRY BEGUN
Representative Lilley Heard
at Length
Overtures Were Made by Electric Boat
Company To Members Of Congress
Representative Hobson
TELLS OF TELEPHONE TALK

Washington, March 13-ln the
Lilley submarine boat inquiry Repre-
sentative Hlley was heard at length.
He began his testimony by reading
long typewriter statement, part OF
which was in the nature OF an affl
davit. in which he outlined his charges
in detail
When he had completed this for
NAL presentation, he was questioned
at length by Representative Olmsted
of the committee. who was designated
by Chairman Boutel to perform that
service.
During the afternoon Representa-
tive Richmond p. Hobson testified
that he had been approached by =
man representing the Electric Boat
company who told him that II he
would support the claims of that com
pany before congress, the company
could bring influence to bear upon
Speaker Cannon to have him (Hob-
SOM appointed on the committee on
naval affairs. Hobson was made a
member of that committee, but he
said IL was in a regular way and that
he made no promises TO the company.
Concerning Lllley's assertion in his
prepared statement that no report had
been made to the house of the inyes-
tigation of the Lessler charges by the
naval committee, Olmsted called his
attention 20 the fact that such report
had boen made and said that 1t had
shown that the representatives of the
Holland company had made improper
overtures to member of congress.
1.illey gave names OF Connecticut
manufacturers and an attorney who
had asked him. according 20 his state
ment. TO vote for .an appropriation
for submarine boat legislation. The
manufacturers, he said, were Frank
lin II. Taylor. of Waterbury; Charles
Ferry OF the Bridgeport Brass COM
pany The attorney was John T. KEEL
logg, OF Waterbury.
Lilley said at one meeting Kellogg
handed him n written form OF proys-
ion that would probably be offered in
the naval committee while preparing
the naval bin OF the last session. II
was offered. he said, but he did not
remember by whom. II was Lilley's

HARMON
LATEST DRIFT OF BRYAN MEN
FOR NICE-PRESIDENT.
Would Win Over Old Grover Clcve.
: land Wing 10 Nebraska, They
Think.

Washington, March 13.-The latest
drift of sentiment among the leaders
of what is known as the Bryan wing
OF the Democratic party is in favor of
the nomination Of Judson Harmon. of
Cincinnati, for vice-presdent on the
Democratic ticket. Next to Harmon
more talk is heard at this time OF
John w. Kern, Of indianapolis. than
of any other vice-presidential guam
tity.
A formidable movement looking to
the nomination of Harmon Is develop
ing. Some of Mr.. Bryan's closest
friends, upon whom he relies for
counsel, have figured out to their own
complete satisfaction that the nomina-
ton of Harmon would be the most
judicious selection that could be
made.

olutlon. 1t was for open legislation,
he said, leaving the letting of con-
tracts with the department The one
submitted this year shut out any pos
sibility of competition.
Lilley said a representative who,
he claimed, had been approached by
member Of the Electric compana
with a proposition to get him on the
naval affairs committee il he would
favor submarine legislation, was Cap.
tain Richmond p. Hobson.
He said Hobson was willing to tes-
tlfy and give the name of the man
who approached him. Lilley said Il
was his understanding that there wa.
an agreement between the Electric
Boat company and Vikers Sons and
Maxim. Of England. who are build
ing English submarine boats, whereby
all Improvements made'by the Elec-
trio company was turned over To the
English company, but under which all
OF the Improvements made by Vikers
Sons and Maxim. are not given the
Electric company.
Lilley continued his testimony
most of the afternoon. and was sue
oeeded by Hobson, who testified as
outlined above. The name Of the man
who II IS alleged approached him in
the interest of the boat company, ho
said, was 5. Lawrence Speer, of New
York. and that the talk with him was
over the telephone In November last.

To cure a stomach trouble, first
Digest the Food

we have seen it digest every food
that man eats.
1t does the same in the. stom-
ach, in one-third of the time.
One can't cure the stomach BY
giving it halfway help.
There are many partial digesters
perhaps you have tried them.
But, however careful. you are
with your diet, there is food which
they can't digest.
The irritation continues.
But Kodol, whatever you eat,
digests it atoonce and completely.
Please prove this at our risk. See
how instant is the relief. See how
quickly the stomach RECEIVERS.
You will never again permit
yourself to suffer from indigestion.
Our Guarantee
On the first dollar bottle of Kodol
your druggist gives a signed guar
antee. If it fails to do all we claim,
your druggist returns your money.
You take NO, risk whatever. This

That is essential.
The pain is caused by undigested
food, which irritates the stomach
lining.
The stomach can certainly never
get we'll while that irritation con-
tinues.
No need to doctor the stomach.
And dieting helps but little.
The vital thing is to do the stom-
ach's work To eat what you want,
and digest it.
Then the stomach, in a little
time, will do its work itself.
There is only one way to digest
all food. That is Kodol.
Pepsin digests albumen only.
Starch requires something else;
fat something else.
Then bowel digestion must be
accomplished too. That requires
other ingredients,
1t requires an exact combination
to digest every food, and it must
be in liquid form.
Kodol is that combination.
