Won't Eat Their Relatives.

The thick forest along the banks Of
the Semliki, in eastern Africa, is
densely inhabited by pygmies. They
are cannibals and when pressed for
food exchange their children for those
Of other families. They refuse to eat
members of their own families. At
the southern end Of the frontier of the
Kongo Independent State there are
people who owe allegiance to no
chiefs, each family owning its own
village and recognizing no head. The
whole community. however, is dom
mated by a clan of witch women, who
are extremely hostile to Europeans.

Eat What
You want OF the food you nod e4ae
Kodol will digest IL

You need a 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 stomachif
1T is weak.
You must eat In order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat a suffice
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.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help;
you must help it by giving 1t rest,
and Kodol will do that.

"Won't Jimmy BE Glad?:"
(Leavenworth Post.)

(Leavenworth Post.)
''Mister, is this the place where
they shoot dogs?'
A little boy about of seven years
came into police head quarters
this morning leading a little
mongrel dog, and asked the
question of Capt. Mcclure.
The Captain told him that it
was not done there and asked
him why he wanted to know.
Because, mister. | want some
body to please shoot Gipv'
"Why, what's the matter with
Gip" asked the officer, "isn't
Clip good dogw

good dog. He plays with jim

are away. You see, Jimmie he's
my little brother and he's a
cripple and can't get out to play
much, and Gyp, he stays at the
home and plays with Jimmie
when mother is out washing
and ! am out selling papers and
doing errands around town"
"Well, then, why do you want
him shot?" inquired the officer.
"Why, you see, mister, it takes
all the money mother and | can
make to pay the rent and keep
us, and we can't pay the tax,
and so we talked the matter
over and thought we'd better
bring him down and have him
killed"

Some Preliminary Remarks
on Currency Reform.
Des Moines Daily News.

"When a nation begins to re-
form its currency, it is like a
stranger inspecting a high ex-
plosive factory. The stranger
doesn't know much about high
explos Y IS. He moves carefully
and refrains from picking up
any black Jumps in the factory,
to carry home, thinking they
may be coal.
"Whe we travel through the
high explosive factory Of cur
rency reform we must initiate
the caution Of the stranger
We must remember many will
tell us the unfamiliar Jumps
they will exhibit for our inspec-
ton are good fuel. They will
urge us to take them home and
keep ourselves warm. Then, af-
ter the catastrophy, they will be
able to pick our pockets at their
leisure.
"The average American may
be unfamiliar with the science
Of banking, but he knows one
very important detail. He
knows the bankers are looking
out for their own pockets all
the time. Of course, there is
no crime in that, but there is a
warning. Any reforms that
bankers propose certainly will
benefit them. and this is the on
u certainty that interests the
bankers.

Tic Editors Mistake
New Orleans Picayune

1t is held to be an inexcusa-
bic outrage for a newspaper
editor to make the slightest
mistake in a statement of any
sort, while professional persons,
upon whose certainty of know
ledge and on whose statement
in regard thereto, life and
death or the most important
interests depend, make the
most serious errors without in
curing the slightest criticism,
much less blame.
Take the judge on the bench
whose decisions are set aside
and annulled by higher courts
almost every day, and the
judge whose judgement is so
reversed does not suffer in the
least in public and professional
estimation.
In the same way the physi-
clan who makes a wrong dag
nosis of his patients disease
administers treatment that re-
suits in death instead of a cure,
loses none of the confidence of
his patrons in his skill, and he
may kill any number of persons
secundum artem without incur
ring the slightest responsibility.
These are curious facts, but
they are facts, and they are
mentioned, not by way of ex-
cusing editorial mistakes, for
there is no excuse for them. 1t
is because every individual be-
lleves that he could conduct
newspapers better than those
who are charged with the work,
while no unprofessional person
would undertake to usurp func-
tions Of the Judge or the physi-
]cian.

the financiers want to establish
a central bank. They say the
bank will provide a more elastic
currency system and more
elastic currency system will
prevent panics. Everybody, of
course, wishes panics could be
made impossible, but other ma
tions possessing central banks
and elastic currency systems
are more familiar with indus
trial adversely than is the Uni
ted States.
elasticity has the property
of contraction as we'll as Of ex-
pansion. A central bank, con-
trolling the flexibility of cur
rency, might be able to contract
the supply at will, augmenting
interest charges, to the benefit
of the bankers and to the det-
rimentof everybody else. Amer
lea wants no currency system
that will place in the hands of
the fnanciers the power to reg
ulate prosperity. America wants
its currency ditfused, not con-
centrated.
eff the financiers and their
Mr.. Aldrich desire to attract
friendly attention to their CEN

prove two things: ~ The COM
p.ete separation of politics from
the new currency system; ~
the elimination Of any possibil-
lily that Wall street may be
able to use the bank to control
the peoples money"

DR.. j. A. Mintor this morn
ing presented the state histori-
cal department with a stick Of
wood, supposed to be today,
which represents an ancient
period of Iowa's physical geo.
graphical history. The wood
was found fifty feet under

and at the head of a ravine
two and a half miles southwest
of Magnolia. 1t was part of an
old log, and wood Of this char

Curator Harlan took the
piece to State Geologist Lewis,
who stated that it was probably
washed down from the north in
the glacial period of history or
that there had been a great up
heaval in some prehistoric time
and that in some unaccountable
manner the log had been depos-
tied on the top of the ridge.
Curator Harlan hopes before
long to have a collection of
these prehistoric woods of Iowa
and urges that any person who
finds a stick of some prehistor-
