Eat What
You want of the food you need

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 II
IT - weak.
You must eat In order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat sufac-
lent amount Of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be 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 di-
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.

STATUS OF COTTON.

A committee of cotton experts SO.
lected by Secretary Wilson of the de.
partment of agriculture is to meet this
month in Washington for the purpose
of defining cotton grades. These ex-
perts will be assembled in accordance
with a provision of the last agricultur-
al appropriation act, as follows:
The Secretary of Agriculture,
through the bureau of plant industry,
shall establish standard for the diff
ferent gSades Of cotton. calling to his
assistance for that purpose expert
cotton classifers. by fixing a standard
of nine dife rent grades to be desig-
mated middling fair, strict good mid
ding, good mfddling, strict midd1ing,
middling, strict low middling, low
middling, strict good ordinary and
rood ordinary, which shall be the. Of
Soio>' standard of cotton classifcations.
These st,>rdards are to be prepared in
practical form and furnished upon re-
quest to any person, the cost to be
paid, when delivered. by the person
requesting the standard.
Professor Galloway, chief of the bu-
reau of plant industry, does not expect
the experts to do anything radical or
revolutionary, because he expects the
experts he is inviting to come together
to adopt classification that will be
acceptable to all who handle cotton.
AS things stand now each cotton ex-
change classifes cotton grades to suit
its own notions. Uniformity in grad
ing is certainly desirable, and the
Washington movement promises to
bring that about.
Ii is not claimed that Congress or
the department of agriculture has
power to establish cotton grades. The
work of the cotton experts at Wash
fngton and the needs of the situation
will be all the weight and influence
that the case calls for. If the classif-
cation of the cotton experts be salts
factory the cotton exchanges can be
trusted to adopt it. It is case OF
moral suasion only.
The present heterogeneous stand.
ards perplex and aff1ict the cetton
trade, and the present movement is
the most promising that has been put
before those who grow and handle the
great crop. It is to be hoped that
Secretary Wilson and Professor Gallo.
way will call to their assistance the
best cotton classifiers in this and other
countries, and that their classification
will be SO satisfactory that no cottor
exchange can afford to reject it.

remedy is 10 reduce wasteful govern

every direction. This is what bust
ness individual would have to do. And
there is no better way to run a govern
ment-especially in the way of expen-

tail useless expenditures, reduce the
tariff to a point where some foreign
goods which are now completely exclud-
ed by high duties may come in, and
thus increase the revenues; and no tax
will be needed.
1T is useless TO discuss the practical
bility OF this measure Of taxing net
earnings. as the question of what are
real net earnings is one that it would
be practically impossible to establish in
a manufacturing business. 1t must be
regarded as a political move TO shunt

regarding the tax on corporations as

greatest interest among the vast army
Of thrifty holders in the money-making

For what is more revenue needed?
Is it to supply the loss which may result
from a reduction OF customs and duties
by the proposed new tariff? But the
new tariff as far as the senate has gone
with it raises the duties all along the

CONFERENCE OF GOVERNORS.

There is to be a conference Of gov
ernors at washington next January, at
which time and place President Taft
VIII urge the necessity. of uniform laws
regarding marriage and divorce, child
labor and foods. The model laws en-
acted by congress for the District of
Columbia have as yet proved futile so
far as their imitation by the states are
concerned. The government has great
power, but at the same time there are
limitations, and efforts at reform along
any given line are often rendered nUga-
tory by the old doctrine Of states
rights. which seems to be even stronger
now than 1t was in the days of Calhoun
and notification.
1t is said that almost half of the meat
supply Of the country is not subject to
federal inspection, and in few states or
cities is there an efficient local inspec-
ton. Revolving and unsanitary cOndi-
tions have been found in many local
abattoirs and shops, but federal inspec-
tors are powerless to remedy the stu
alton. Moreover, preseTvatives are fire.

demands that the states change this
situation and enact legislation along the
lines of the federal inspection laws.
