The extent to which the State courts
shall give "due faith and credit to the
decisions of other State courts, as rcquir-
ed by the constitution, is defined In a
decision of the Supreme Court, 5 TO +, in
the case of a cotton future deal at Nicks-
burg. The dealer was wiped olt by a
decline and the broker sued him for the
sum due over margin deposited. In Mis-
sissippi the laws against stock gambling
prevented a collection. but a judgment
was got in Missouri. This, however, was
not recognized by the Mississippi courLs,
but in this course the Supreme Cour
takes the opposite view, at least a major
ity of it holding that the Missouri Jldg-
ment should be given full force in Mis-
sissippi.

WHO'S TO RULE WHITE HOUSE
Washington Society Speculates on
the Next Presidents Wife.

Washington correspondence
While the presidential election is agt.
tating the politicians and speculation
is rife as to who will be the Republi-
can and Democratic nominees for the
Presidency and ultimate victor, society
circles in Washington are far more in
terested in trying to guess who will be
the first lady Of the land after March
4th.
While admitting that Mrs. w. J..
Bryan and Mrs. w. II. Taft have the
best chances, society nevertheless dis
cusses he possibility of the white
house being presided over by Mrs. John
y. Johnson. Mrs. Charles w. Fairbanks
or Mrs. Charles E. Hughes.
Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Fairbanks may
be said to be equally well known in
Washington society circles. OF Mrs.
Hughes and Mrs. johnson little is
known in the capital.
Mrs. Fairbanks may be said to be
the most prominent of the possibilities.
Mrs. Fairbanks was born in Marys-
vile, Ohio, and lived there until she
went to Delaware and to the Ohio Wes-
leyan University. Her maiden name
was Cornelia Cole. She was a gen.
eral leader among her friends and grad
uated in 1872 in the same class with
her husband. In 1874 Mr.. and Mrs.
Fairbanks were married and went to
live in indianapolis, where they were
soon identified with the life of the
city.
In appearance Mrs. Fairbanks is I'm
usually prepossessing, having that in
definable stamp of a gracious and re-
tined woman.
Mrs. Taft, unlike Mrs. Fairbanks,
has never been prominent in club at
fairs. She is a home-loving woman, her
husbands chun and confdant. and the
idol of young Charlie Taft, the Quen-
tin Roosevelt of the Taft family. Mrs.
Taft was Helen Heron, of Cincin-
natl.
Mrs. Johnson, all who have met her
declare, is a sweet, sympathetic WON.
an, ever ready to lend a hand in the
cause Of charity. Her early expert
ences have taught Mrs. johnson the
uses Of adversely and most of her time,
when not helping her husband, is spent
in aiding the poor Of st. Paul and
Minneapolis. Mrs. Johnson's maiden
name was Gilmore Preston, and her
home St. Peter, MINI.
Mrs. Bryan is never happier than
when OF the family farm nea Lincoln,
and boasts that she is a better farmer
than most men. Nevertheless, Mrs.
Bryan is an accomplished woman,
widely read and possesses that indie
Unable art of inpressing every one
with her ability as a society leader,
known as "snvoir faire." Mrs. Bryan
before her marriage was Miss Mary
Elizabeth Baird. of Perry, III.
Mrs. Charles T. Hughes, wife of the
governor CT :NeW York State, is a bril-
liant and ACCOMPLISHED omar but has
preferred to devote herself to home life
rather thin society. AIRS. Hughes num-
bers a great many New York society
women among her friends. Mrs.
Hughes was formerly Miss Antoinetre
Carter, Of New York. Miss Helen Can
non is Speaker Joseph G.. C~annoR's
younger daughter and would figure
prominently in white house social at
fairs should ]Ir. Cannon win the presi-
dency.

minds, fresh and strong. are thinking new thoughts to-
in his day.
Such Il public man does not understand that the con-
stantIy renewed intellect of the nation is yeastiug with
new IDEAS. born Of nc" conditions &il so he thinks that
all new questions are really TO d tSt!"lS at all. and
would dismiss them altogether if he could. Public men
must take their stand ON public ,!L,H,irns While those
questions are up for decision, not atttr they are decided.
The public man who has no views Is more dangerous
than the demugoyue, The man who Uttrrs pleasing gen
eralties instead Of talking dcti il" positions on public
questions is either a coward of a dvr}iVpr Of the peo-
pie, and usually he is Iuth. Never in History was there
such a day for young men in public lie as that which
has now daWned. Their is SO much more to he done than
there ever was before, SO many NOR hands needed for
that work than ever beforc-ciean hnulS, strong hands,

men who are honest. Industrious and equipped.

for the master minds of antiquity, this universal belief
has been waved aside as a pagan superstition. Reincar-
nation is found to be interviewer with the texture Of
all schools Of philosophy ard all systems OF religion It
is imbedded In every scripture and forms the corner
stone of common daily life. In India now, as in the
elder days, every peasant recognizes as an unquestion-
able fact that he has been many times reborn on earth,
and prepares himself for a coming rebirth; rebirth is
an active factor in his daily life.
When once we realize the grandiose scheme Of human
evolution, then we see that what we call sin is only ig-
norance, lack Of experience, youth Of the unfolding life.
There is no height of splendor into which man may not
grow, for he truly is God incarnnte upon earth, and the
Christs of the race are but the fair first fruits Of the
universal human harvest which the future shah dis
close. Power Of brain, strength Of will, deftness Of I'm
ger, nobility Of character-they are all of our own weav-
Ing; we make the garments that we wear. Not one Of
the miserable wallis Of our foulest slums but shall, by
repeated births, rise to perfect manhood, to manifested
divinity. Such is the promise contained in the word
reincarnation.

Let KOdOl
Digest what you eat. Then you can
Eat what you like.

You once could eat anything you
wanted, and your stomach would
digest 1t.
But now there's some things
which your stomach won't digest.
Your stomach absolutely refuses to
accommodate you when you eat
certain food--so you have been
forced by your stomach to eat food
which you detested and pass up
those delicacies that you would
have really enjoyed
There is a way now to eat any
thing you like, II you will let Ko-
dol digest 1t.
Kodol will do this, too. It won't
talk back or command. but will go
right ahead with its work and d.
gest all the food you eat. Kodol
will let you eat anything you like
and all you want, and you won't
suffer with that dull feeling, that
fullness, and wish you hadn't eaten
so much.
You will not have that heartburn.
which is so annoying at times, If
you will let Kodol digest your food
a while.
You don't have to use Kodol long
only for a little while-just long
enough for your stomach to rest
a little. 1t gets tired sometimes,
too-just the same as anybody or
