ACUTE INDIGESTION
CAUSES sudden Death
The Rapid Increase of This Danger
GUS Ailment Is Alarming.

Acute Indigestion has caused the
death of many a good man or woman
that could have been saved, had the
sufferer only been able to get prompt
relief.
The formation of gas in the stomach
is so rapid-and the pressure so strong
ON the pneumo-gastric nerve-that, un-
less relief is promptly given, it quick
ly stops the heart action and death en-
sues almost at once.
If taken in time-and in liberal
quantities-Kodol will, in every case,
within very few minutes. Kodol is
the most perfect digester and stomach
corrector, known to medical science.
BY expelling the poisonous gases arts
ing from the undigested food lying
in the stomach, Kodol at once stops
the pressure on the heart, thereby re-
moving the danger of Acute Indiges-
ton.
Every tablespoonful of Kodol di-
gest two and one-quarter pounds of
food-any kind of food that a sensible
man would eat. 1t is the only prepare
ton that will do this, and is one that
every family should keep on hand. You
never know when acute indigestion is
going to come. 1t may come tonight
and may come tomorrow. A little
Kodol, taken at the right time, may
save the life of yourself, or some
dear one.
Don't neglect your stomach. Don't
allow your digestive organs to become
weakened and thereby become likely
victim to Acute Indigestion.
Kodol is pleasant to take, perfectly
harmless-and you can go to your
druggist and get a dollar bottle, on
our guarantee, that if it fails to give
relief, he will refund your money
without question or delay.

OPERATING AUTO CARS

NEW YORK, April 15.-The horse

OF Receiver Whitridge, of the Third

proposes to operate automobile cars

Today he placed in service two ex-

second a gasoline motor car, con-

Boston Under a Commission Charter.

Springfield Republican: The people
/ of Boston have vJ.ed in favor Of
emancipation from outside party poll
tics in municipal affairs and more
! business-!ike machinery OF govern
ment. Charter plan No. l, favored BY
the politicians Of both parties, has
! been voted down ana plan No. ,, de
vised by finance commission and IA
vored by the reform element. is now
to take effect. The important feat
ures of this plan are nominations on
petition by not less than 5000 voters,
no party designations to appear on the
ballot; a mayor elected for four
years. but subject TO recall By a ma
jority vote at the end of two years;
and a city council consisting of nine
members. elected at large for three
year terms. three each year.
This provides essentially a com
mission form of government, the plan
differing from that adopted by Gal
weston. Des Moines, Haverhill and
other cities chiefly in providing a
more numerous body of councillors or
commissioners. This, however is d
distinction rather then a difference
The old form of municipal government
has been pretty completely cast aside.
Both the two-chamber council and a
numerous one-chamber body disaD-
pear. Legislative and administrative
functions are practically merged in a
single and comparatively small body.
Outside party lines cannot be drawn
except below the surface and there
only with great difficulty; and the
great difficulty is testified to by the
strenuous opposition of the bosses
and heelers of both the republican
and democratic parties. Responsibility
is centralized and placed where it
cannot be shifted or evaded and
where it can be held in close &C
countability to the people.
Boston is the fifth city or the coun-
try in population. and the first city
of any such magnitude to adopt the
commission or a highly centralized
form of government. There will re
national interest IN the experiment.
Only gross neglect on the part Of citi-
Gems of substance and influence can
apparently make it failure, and all
diversion or complication making for
such neglect has been removed as far
as possible by the plan adopted. We
may confidently hope of new and
better era in the government Of the
chief city of New England.

Not long before his departure Presi-

limited the powers of the secret serv-

of themselves being investigated From
the moment that message was read in
the house Roosevelt was probably more
unpopular on Capitol hill than any man
who ever occupied the White house.
Tawney of Minnesota, Smith of Iowa,
Perkins of New York, and others-ev-
cry one of whom enjoy the complete
confidence and high esteem of Presi-
dent Taft-denounced Roosevelt with
bitterness that rivals description.
With the return of Roosevelt, the
present indications are that the old
feud will be reopened, this time with
Colonel Roosevelt and the man he vir-
tually made president, rival generals
in a battle to wrest the control of the
republican party from the grip of the
powerful special interests which now
control it.
