Carrie NATION leaves
ENGLAND FOR HAPPY Home
Famous Saloon Smasher Says Europe is
Far Behind United States.

LONDON, March 12.-Mrs. Carrie
Nation, the famous saloon smasLer,
left here today for the United States,
declaring that in the fight against
drink, England was far behind the
Unitetd States.
When asked if her early departure
was not an acknowledgement of de-

not been working in vain, even in En-

This country is fifty years behind
the United States. In America the
evil is bad enough, but here you are
in the depths of hell. There are more
drunken women in England than there
are drunken men in America. You
have hell houses at every street cor

In the line made famous by the late
Joseph Jefferson, Sol Smith Russell
and himself, it seemed most fitting
that he should once more be seen in
thhe class of work that had previously
brought him his highest success. He
has been most careful in making his
revival of "Old Innocence" and has Sc
iected a company for the various roles,

NERVOUS PR0STRATION

If you have indigestion, you don't
get all the nutriment out of your food
that you should.
Your worn out stomach passes the
food on without extracting enough nu-
tritious substance to supply the blood
and nerves.
And If the nerves are not supplied
with nourishment, they begin to rebel.
They kick up great disturbance.
They make you irritable and cranky;
you worry about trifles, and you can
not sleep soundly at night; you have
bad dreams, and you get up tired in
the morning.

1t does this by duplicating Natures digestive
process, at it's best. Whenever 1t Is required to
do so, it dgests all food taken into the stomach.
This affords the stomach complete rest Rest
and Nature can accomplish wonders with sick
stomach.
You say "Kodol must be pretty good medi-
ciDe" Here you would be wrong-in q way
Kodol is not a medicine-merely timely assist
ant to Nature, when Nature needs it.
The unthinking person would say that diges-
ton takes place in the stomach. AS matter of
fact, digestion commences the moment piece OF
food is taken in the mouth. The various stages
of digestion are mastication, digestion (proper),
absorption and assimilation.
The digestive process as whole is very intri-
cate and delicate. Also, it is exceedingly impor-
tant that it go forward exactly rs Nature intend
ed. ANY interference with Natures work in this
connection is apt to prove disastrous. Then is
when Kodol is needed. Sometimes 1t Is badly
needed.
While indigestion, as stated, Is not In ftsef

chronic dyspepsia. This Is where Kodol helps.
