tied to the credentials committee OF

result would be the sustaining of the

If the Taft managers hold by their
declarations, and II is evident that the
attitude of the managers of the local
headquarters reflects the situation in
Washington, concessions to the anh-Ta1t
camp can be gained only by complete
surrender of all opposition. 1t was an
nounced today that Arthur 1. Voorys, an
other of the Taft managers, will arrive
hee tomorrow. Representative Mckinley,
chief of the Cannon forces, and Senator
Dick who is looking after the interests
of Senator Foraker, are also expected.

brought by negro voters instructed for
Senator Foraker, excepting four district in

Vice President Fairbanks and two in Mis-

Whatever it was, Walker did not
wait, but slid downward with such
speed that it was fortunate the rig
ging barred his progress.
And then, even while Courtenay was
shouting some explanation, a great
black wall rose out of the deep on the
port bow. 1t was pinnacle rock high
as the ships masts, but only q few
feet wide at sea level. and the Kansas
sped past this ugly monitor as though
1t were a buoy in we'll marked chan
mel.
Courtenay heard the sea breaking
against it. The ship could not have
been more than. sixty feet distant, a
little more than her own beam, and he
fully expected that she would grind
against some CUTLER in the next in
slant. But the Kansas had charmed
life. She ran on unscathed and seem
ed to be travelling IN smoother water
after this escape.
Walkers dark skin was the color of
parchment when he reached the chart
house.

owt wi engines, but I'm no good at
this gene. That thing fairly banged
me. Did We see it?"
did you see land?" demanded Cour-
tenay imperatively. His spirits rose
with each of these thrills He felt that
it was ordained that his ship should
live.

ed that she was heading a couple of
points eastward. He helped her and
telephoned instantly to Walker:

anon Walker appeared.

The engineer could not guess that
the captains pulse was beating a tri1e
more rapidly with certain citation.
They were undoubtedly passing White
Horse island. 1t revealed its presence
by DETECTING the tremendous sea river
which ferried the Kansas onward at
such a rate. In fifteen or twenty min
utes Courtenay expected TO find indica-

tently. for the first sign of this return

ed the current one way or the other
she would certainly be driven ashore
on some outlying spur of the island or
detached sunken reef; hence he must
actually guess his way, with some
thing of the acquired sense of the
blind, because the slight chance of ulti-
mate escape for the ship and her occu-
pants rested wholly on the assumption
that some ocean byway was leading
her to a deep water inlet, where it
might be possible to drop the anchor.
| In eighteen minutes or Whereabouts
the needle moved slightly. Courtenay
once more assisted the ship with the
helm. She steadied herself, and the
lcompass pointed due northeast again.

Leave the cure of Dyspepsia to Nature But give
Nature chance
Stop the pain Immediately for pain means that
undigested food is irritating the stomach lining.
and that lining which is always indamed in dys-
pepsa, will never get right while it is constantly
irritated.
Stop the formation Of gas, which comes from
fermenting food. Stop the impurity which is fed
to the blood by the food that decays. Supply your
self with plenty Of nourishment. For recovery de
ponds on gaining more strength, and on letting
the stomach rest.
All that is done by Kodol-by digestng the food
that you eat. For Kodol is perfect digester.
You will say, perhaps that you have tried di-
gesters before. But you are mistaken
You may have tried pepsin, but pepsin digests
only albumen. You may have tried any of numer-
Gus preparations which digest part of the food.
But Kodol alone dgests all of the food. 1t is
the only do all that the digestive organs do
when they are perfectly strong.
And the results immediate. Kodo is liquid,
like the digestive juices. Its action begins as soon
as il enters the stomach.
You don't want to always depend on artificial
digesters. We understand that
But you must help the stomach while the stom-
ach needs help. Else it will always need it.
II you spran your ankle you must use a crutch

Don't Starve

Dieting is starvation. to extent. Your body re-
quires many kinds of food, and to limit the variety
means to rob some part. Eat what you need of the
TODD that you want for Kodol will surely digest it.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1908-03-26

Help is thousand times more important, when
the stomach is weak. For imperfect digestion
means that you don't get food.
Let the stomach rest for time, just you must
rest when you wish to recuperate. That is all that
is necessary and all that you can do.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1908-03-26

Kodol alone contains all the digestive elements
And they there in sufficient strength.
A tablespoonful, taken after meal, is enough to
digest it completely.
This has often been proved by adding Kodol to
food in test tube Keep the food moving, and
keep the temperature right, just as the stomach
does. Any sort of food or any combination OF
foods, will be completely digested.
Pepsin alone won't do that Other digesters
won't do it The only way to possibly do this is
by the use of Kodol.

porary injunction of Justice Gould
against the federation in that case.
Counsel of the A + of L, imme-

have lately presented the agree
ment to the merchants calling for
the six o'clock closing Of stores ex-
cept on Saturday evening and
practically all the leading mer-
chants have signed up and it is eN-
pected the others will follow suit
within short time, as the Trades
Assembly and the other local
unions Of the city will wait on
them through committees and ask
that they do so. 1t is not an un-
reasonable demand and no one can
fail to see the justice of giving the
clerks evenings off, as is being
done throughout the country. The
union store cards will arrive in a
short time and union men should
look for it when making pur-
