Eat What
You want of the food you need
kodol will digest it.

You need sufficient amount of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach if
It Is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat a suffic-
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol di-
gest the food.

BasiA of Estimate.

Mr.. Babcock already has discussed
county option with number of the
representatives, and he declares that
he has not found one who will vote
for the repeal of the law In addition
to Mr.. Babcocks personal investiga
ton other Republican friends of the
mea sure have made diligent inquiry,
and the belief is expressed that there
will not be more than four, If that
many, who will vote to kill the law.
In arriving at conclusions in regard
to those who nave not been approach
ed personally on the subject the Re
puhhcans have taken into considera-
lion ne communities in which the
various Republican legislators live,
the general disposition of the men
themselves and the attitude held by
their predecessors in the legislature
toward the county option bill.
During the special session OF the
legislature four Republicans of the
house-Schreeder, Cess, Condo and
Keller-voted against the bill. OF
these four, only Schroeder, will be
member of The next house. 1t is tax
en- for granted that Schroeder will
vote for the repeal of the law

Thirty-six Favorable Votes.

1t is not believed that more than
tlree others will favor the repeal. Re
publican friends OF the law estimate
that they will have tliiry-six votes
that will remain firm for the option
law. Therefore, il they can get four
teen Democratic votes, county option
is safe unless it shall be molested by
the senate
There is only one thing it is belev-
ed, which would cause many of the
Republicans to leave the county OPP
ton banner, and that would be the
conclusion that the vote in Indiana
in the last election should be taken
as a reputation of the statute. All of
those who have been approached per-
sonally on the subject have not ex-
pressed the belief that the liquor
question had much, if anything 10 do
with the defeat of the Republicans in
the last election, and it is taken for
granted that other legislators will
look at il in the same way.

RESIGNS AS
MANAGER OF

SPARKS BERRY TO GO INTO
GRAND OPERA
Directors Have Not Yet Accepted Res.
iunation, but VIII Do So at Next
MeetIng-Sueeessor's Name
Not Announced

Sparks M. Berry has submitted his
resignation to the directors of the Audi
torium company, to take effect June l..
Mr.. Berry expects to go into grand
opera. He declined to say last night
with what organization he would be
connected, but said he regarded the
opportunity offered to him too good to
be overlooked.
Sparks Berry has been in the theatri-
cal business in Los Angeles during the
past fifteen years, his first experience
being under Henry Wyatt of the Mason
opera house. For time he managed
Hazards pavilion, and after that struc-
ture was torn down and the present
auditorium erected, he took over the
MANAGEMENT of the new house.
During his term as manager of the
old pavilion, Mr.. Berry put on widely
divergent list of attractions, ranging
from prizefights to grand opera. He
has always, however, wanted to get
into the grand opera business. He
opened the Auditorium with a grand
opera company and has given us three
seasons of grand opera at that house IN
the slightly less than two years during
which 1t has been opened. Mr. Berry S
successor has not, so far as can be
ascertained, been chosen. The directors
have not vet announced the acceptance
of his resignation, but it is understood
thew will do so after the next meeting.
Mr.. Berry has recently been negotlat-
ing for another opera season. he VIII
continue in the management of the
Auditorium until June /. AS there is
no summer season at the Auditorium,
there will be plenty of time for new
manager to get a grasp of the innumer-
able details OF the vast establishment

CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-The sale by the

pany last Saturday was confirmed by
Judge Grosscup today.
BY this confirmation and the lease
executed yesterday the railway COM

the railway traction war that has been
going on for ten years is closed.
Concerning this, man who has been
close to the controversy throughout
said: Through this reorganization and
the ordinance on which it was founded
settlement of the traction war has
been effected that gives to every in
terest and to every person in every in
terest exactly the same interest in the
new system that he had in the old;
that gives to the city 55 per cent of
the net. after paying per cent on the
investment, thus combining municipal
ownership with the advantage of pri-
vate management and putting the man
agement itself under competent man

gan to be approved by the board of

quired by law.
This was brought out at the trial of
Sanderson, former State Treasurer
Mathews, former Auditor General Sny-
der and James H. Shumaker, former
superintendent of grounds and build
ings, in the Dauphin county court to-
day These bills were put in evidence
by the commonwealth in spite of Vigor-
Gus objections by the defense, for the
purpose of showing the system which
the commonwealth alleges was pursued
to defraud the state.
The admission of these bills opens the
way for the Introduction of certain
other papers and numerous articles of
furniture to which reference is made
in the indictment in the case now on
trial.
The commonwealth brought down
from the capitol and stored in the court
house today wagon load of furniture
which it will offer in evidence when

Monday This furniture includes the
bootblack stand, for which Sanderson
collected $1619 from the state and paid

President Joseph Blust of the Fidelia
Singing society say the Pacific saenger-
fest will be held in Los Angeles in
September.
The Arlon singers, the Turner's and
the German-American alliance say it
viii not
A note of discord prevails in German
circles in Los Angeles, as a result of
which a body of seventy Fidelia mem
hers have decided to swing their al
legiance to the Arions hereafter.
Factlona' feeling is running so high
that some reprisals are feared and
sensational developments are predicted
involving interests in which litigation
Is likely.
Most of the disaffection now exists
among the boiling Fidelias. They do
not hesitate to talk of the affair among
themselves, and the German newspaper
i'm Los Angeles is taking up the cudgels
too.
Were They Authorized?
Some weeks ago, Immediately after
the German day celebration in Chutes
park, Messrs. Tostmann and Blust
went north to Oregon, Washington and
San Francisco to interest the singers
in a proposed saengerfest. 1t is now de-
90, that their expenses were heavy and
that 1t was only by the use of proxies
and the votes of passive members ra-
ther than active that the program was
pushed through to 1ndorse the result OF
this trip after wards.
The saengerfest proposition remained
a lukewarm one, the story goes, and
especially when it was stated that $lz,-
900 would be needed to properly enter
.fs-tt nd fRG-
tivities.
Then an Incorporated company was
formed to handle the fest. This result
ed in actual Withdrawals.
RIust Makes Promise
AT that time Blust is quoted as say
ing that If the Germans here would not
oive the fest he would himself.
One side is now engaged in keeping
the saengerfest well advertised in the
northern coast cities, while the opposi-
tion is engaged in writing letters 10
influential Germans in the north ad-
verse to the fest idea at this time.
AS seven months must elapse the
German-American colony is preparing
to watch developments in the nope OIL
seeing peace re-established.
One of the antis stated the case IhIs

WASHINGTON, Jan. S1.--An unusual
and almost unprecedented scene was
enacted in the house of representatives
today as the result of the reading of a
special message to congress by the
president, urging legislation in the mat
ters of relation of labor and capital and
of corporations and the public.
The vigorous language of the message
brought forth applause. first on the
Democratic side and then on the Re-
publican, and eliminated in demon
stration by the entire body.
AS If in anticipation that something
out of the ordinary was going to hap
pen, there was a full attendance of

been concluded 1t was almost the sole
topic of conversation among members
on the floor and in the Hobbies.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Manila, and

naval base of America in the far east,
according to a dispatch received by
the navy board today. This decision
must be ratified by the president to
become effective.
1t has been demonstrated to the salts
faction of the board that with all of
it's advantages in the way of a fine
anchorage and spacious harbor, Subig
Bay is strategically impossible of de-
fense from land attack.
So while both Subig Bay and Manila
will continue for the present to be
fortified bases, Manila in the end will
be the principal American naval sta
ton in the Orient, If the plans of the
board are approved.
