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 IL.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach II
It Is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat sufiic-
lent amount OF food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and 1t must he digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do 1t,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way TO do Is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol d.
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach Is weak II needs help;
you must help II by giving II rest,
and Kodol will do that.

Some Real Giants.

Brewer tells us that mo recorded height of any giant known has reached ten feet" If a cubit is twenty one inches, Goliath or Gath was eleven feet nine inches in height; if it is eighteen inches, he was just the size of the Arabian giant, Gabara, who was nine feet nine inches. Josephus mentions a Jew who stood ten feet two. Kinto- lochus Rex was fifteen feet six inches high, five feet through the chest to tho spine and ten feet across the shoul- ders. John Middleton wes nine feet three fnches. His hand was seventeen inches long and eight and half broad. Patrick O'Brien was eight feet seven. Turner. the naturalist, says he saw in Brazil giant twelve feet in height. But Og, king of Bashan. held the rec ord According to tradition, he lived 5000 years and walked beside the Ark during the flood. One of bis bones formed a bridge over river.

The Pomelo of China.

Probably the best all round fruit in China is the pomelo. It Is grown in the south central and southern prov inces and is said to be the original citrus fruit It resembles the grape fruit of the United States in size, shape, color and somewhat in flavor, being sweeter than grape fruit, with less of the bitter quality, with flesh more per fectly separated in the sections and capable of being pulled apart and sep arated from all surrounding sacs or membranes. The natives cut through the peel about one-third of the way from the top, crimping the edge of the section all the way round the fruit. then remove the flesh, tear the section apart, replace them in the peel and serve thus divided and prepared. The fruit is attractive, refreshing. whole some and comparatively cheap. Gen. erally speaking. the pomelo seems to be a cross between a shaddock and a good orange, but 1t Is more hardy than either It has better keeping qualities than the orange.

In the DoIaruu..

We may hear it said of one who is in low spirits, '.he is in the dumps" or Che is in the doldrums," but many who use the latter of these phrases have caught it up without any knowledge of its real significance. The region of calms is belt which stretches across the Atlantic and Pacific almost on a line with the equator. Here meet the north and south trade winds, and squalls and heavy rains are frequent, but the characteristic of this region, which is known also as the doldrums, is an oppressive calm. The name now adays loses much of the significance attached to 1t by sailors in the past who, if their ships ran into that region, might whistle n vain for wind, as their sails hung heavily, and all seemed to be

Enxli.h Pri.on Pit..

Prison pits were vaults in which criminals in England were kept at night. chained together. There was one at Bristol which was in use as late at 1915. Down eighteen steps, it was only seventeen feet in diameter by nine feet high. and seventeen men were consigned to 1t every night. Even more typical was Warwick jail pit. which was occupied at least until 1797. It was an octagonal dungeon twenty one feet in diameter and almost nine teen feet underground. In the middle was a cesspool. and beside it ran a stream of water which served the pris- oners for drinking purposes. To this awful cell forty-two men were con- signed every afternoon at 3:45, to re main there until after daylight the fol lowing morning. The inmates had to sleep on their sides, and their jailer never visited them without guarding himself with an antidote against sick neSs.

A little Moslem when she is four years four months old goes through ihe "name of God.'' or Bismillah, cere- mony, which begins her real life. She Is dressed in cloth of gold, with a veil and wreath of flowers, and friends are invited to salute the little queen She sits on a gold cushion, which must be borrowed if she hasn't one, and all the rest sit on the floor.

w.rdinx on old Age.

A famous French general when ask ed how it was that he had such an erect carriage replied that 1t was because he bent over and touched the floor with his fingers thirty times every day. If he had acquired rigidity of the spfne so that he could not do that he would have had with it weak abdominal mus cles, which result in portal congestion. This portal congestion interferes with stomach digestion and with the action of the liver. The poison destroying power of the liver Is lessened, auto in toxication results. and arteriosclerosis and old age come on at much earlier day. But by keeping the spine flexible and the abdominal muscles strong and taut the portal circulation is kept free, and old age Is held on.-Good Health

Hymn. In rhe~ter..

In South Wales when the people are pleased with the work of an actor they have g custom of showing their appre- citation by singing hymns at the close of the performance. Henry Irving was once playing at Swansea when he was surprised to hear the audience burst into Lead, Kindly Light" when he ap- peared before the curtain in response to call. At the close of the engage nent the great actor was deeply touched by the singing of God Be With You Till We Meet Again" rendered in the most reverent manner.

Are Equitable Now.
Washington, D. c., June 29.-The
Interstate Commerce Commission
has refused 20 make any further
notifications In its decisions reached
last summer In various Pacific Coast
lumber cases. 1t holds that the rates
which it then established are valid
for only two years, and intimates
that at the expiration of that time
the whole question may be reopened
In reaching this conclusion the
commission disposes of several pend
ing petitions among them one of the
Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacture
ers' Association asking for the vaca-
ton OF its supplemental order au-
thorizing the establishment of in
creased differentials on cedar lum-
her, shingles and long timbers, and
also the petition for review of its
decision permitting higher rates on
shingles than on fir lumber.
