A great many people imagine they
have heart trouble when the fact is
that the whole trouble lies in the stom-
ach. The pains in the side around the
region of the heart are not necessarily
heart trouble. We suggest that you
start with the stomach and whenever
you feel a depression after eating or
whenever your food seems to nauseate
take Kodol. 1t will not be very long
until all these 'heart pains will dis
appear Take Kodol now and until
you know you are right again. There
isn't any doubt about what it will dc
and you will find the truth of this
statement verified after you have used
Kodol for few weeks. 1t is sold here

1t has been shown that when the gas

one is hungry and eating with great
relish. the sudden receipt Of bad news
completely reverses the digestiv proc

They probably do not realize it: but there
is a downward tendency in their thought
and conversation Everything IS down
business poor. prospects dark. They are
always seeing snags ahead. They see
tendencies in American life which are
sure to undermine our democracy and end
in revolution. Nothing Is as it used to
be when they were young. They cannot
get any more decent help. Everything is
in a deplorable condition
1t is a most unfortunate thing to get
into such mental habit

letters are always pessimistic They Ro

ing blackness and threatening disaster
wherever they go.
Everything depends upon the way we
look at things Near these calamity
howlers we find people living practically
under the same conditions who see beauty
and increasing goodness and an upwa rG
trend in civilization everywhere.
What an untold blessing To form early
in life the optimistic habit of seeing the
best instead of the worst,
Think how much more those get 'out OF
life who are always courageous hopeful
always grateful for every good thing thai
comes to them. and who have a great
faith in the goodness of human nature
and in the honesty of most people.

Steal a Furnished House.
the Chicago Inter Ocean.

FROM the chicago Inter Ocean.
Gary. Ind. made its strongest bid for
fame since ii was founded when the desk
sergeant inscribed on the police station
blotter yesterday the following record:
Stolen-One one-story frame house,
completely furnished, from lot at corner
of 9Th street and Broadway. Property OF
Fred Miller. Taken while owner was in
Chicago on Christmas visit
Mr.. Miller entered the police station
shortly after noon in an excited condition.
He was out of breath and there was a
wild look in his eyes which caused the
sergeant to feel in the desk drawer for
the station revolver
What town is this?" he asked abruptly.
rs it Gary. Ind.?''
Assured that 1t was. Mr.. Miller became
still more brea thless. and the wildness in
his eye assumed the proportions of a
glare. Finally he mastered his emotions
and spoke:
Where the dickens is my house. them
he said. when / left this town Christ:
mas eve to go to Chicago it was standing
at 9Th street and Broadway, and now it's
gone, clean as a whistle"
The sergeant sent a man with Mr.. Mil
Ter and the two visited the erstwhile site
of the Miller home. There was nothing
there but vacant lot. There were traces,
however, which indicated that the thieves
had hitched several horses to the dwelling
and pulled it away. but the trail was
soon lost, and Mr.. Miller was offered q
temporary bed in the police station, which
was declined with thanks.
