You once could eat anything you
wanted, and your stomach would
digest it.
But now there's some things which
your stomach won't digest. Your
stomach absolutely refuses to accom-
modate you when you eat certain
food-so you have been forced by your
stomach to eat food which you de.
tested, and pass up those de1icacies
that you would have really enjoyed.
There is now q way to eat any
thing you like, if you will let
kodol digest it.
Kodol will do this, too. It won't
talk back or command, but will go

until it was pronounced ready for the road" and the critics.
 To those who have read Lovey Nary and who recognize the "Denominational Garden" chapter as an attractive fea- ture of the book, 1t will no doubt be interesting to know that the original of Aunt Whey" really exists. She and her garden are the chief attractions of Martinsville, Ind. Aunt Viny-known to the people as Aunt Tiny-being host ess to throngs of people who each week register at the different sanita- riums from every State in the Union. Since last March no less than 1,065 peo- pie have visited Aunt Viny' who in reality is Mis- Celestina R. Phelps, she having posed for a character in fiction without knowing 1t.
 The little cottage in which she lives was built in 1855. It Is old-fashioned in design and "ramshackle" enough to have played hop-scotch across the rail- road tracks with all the houses in the Cabbage Patch. The Aunt Viny of the story and the real Aunt Viny are widely different as to choice of language the original being an educated woman. good conversationalist, quick witted and very original in her ideas-a sch ool teacher snce 1857. She has written a history in rhyme from the birth of Co., iumbus to the navigation act. It Is published in folding pamphlet form. Chapter l. covering the period from 1435 to 1868.
 "Oh! it isn't poem. said Aunt Tiny. Just put facts and dates in rhyme so the children could memorize 'em." It begins:
 Tn fourteen hundred and thirty i've we
 begin our rhyme.
 When Columbus was born in Italy's sunny cline.
 Tn fourteen hundred and eighty-four Columbus sought aid to rearh our shore. In fourteen hundred and eighty-six he
 tried again
 And was rejected by England. Fortu-
 gal and so olin."
 Tn this way tho history is brought down through two centuries, and two more chapters bring it to recent times. It was the first cold day in last Sep tember and a dreary drizzle, that pen- etrated to the marrow of oneN bones.

had set in for a steady downpouH On this particular day Aunt Tiny's" de- nominational garden presented a sorry spectacle as the writer gazed over the little paling fence; but, nothing daunt- ed, ventured in. pausfng as I passed up the walk. to see if 1 could recognize any of the friends had found in 'Lovey Mary" The garden was a wilderness of old-fashioned flowers and vines; but the severe drenching creat- ed tho impression that the Methodists, especially the perennial Phlox. had just ''come through" during a revival and stood weeping and shattered at the mourner's bench. The Presbyterians. those big, white June lilies and the wild columhi had had their annual revival, quit blooming ard settled down in cold. calm assurance that they were predestined to eternal life and need no longer blossom. The Baptists, ver- benas and portulacca, were thriving under the downpour. and the verbenas were catching their breath as they | went under, but came up rejuvenated. But the Catholics. dahlias and holly | hooks, were as prosperous looking as ever and seemed to flourish in spite of l the weather.
 | One knock at the door and 1t was opened by woman of some 70 years. tall and angular and energetic. She promptly and cordially invited me in, and before I realized 1t had spread be- quilts of cotton. woolen and silk ma terials, which she had made and feath- er-stitched since she .sprang into no- | toriety. These she offered for the mod est sum of s1o apiece.
 I saw at once that Aunt Tiny was now devoting as much time to those
 "straddle-bug' quilts. as she laugh 1 tTr exlr no NnA hnrr En Aar f.v l garden. and that her love of nature
 was but one spoke in her wheel. In
 fact she acknowledged that this was now her only means of support-the sale of her quilts her photograph and that of her garden, and her history in
 rhyme which she recites for her guests and then passes the hat.

and in training <for work. while they were waiting, much of the money which had now to be raised by rates would not be wanted.
 Mir. Sidney Webb referred to the question of unemployment, as the gray est of all the diseases under which our society suffered. but said that 1t could be remedied at once. in single Season os Parliament, without revolution In any sense, at the cost of only one ori two million pounds.
 The solution was neither simple nor obvious, a whole series of things had to be proposed. We must first realize that the evil existed and then make the government grapple with it. Socialism did not constitute the remedy. for it was often an excuse for not ehinktng, and none of the evil of society could be remedied by a word. Even If all industry were nationalized we could not rearrange the calendar under q Socialist regime. There was neces- sarily a time of seed time and har- vest and fluctuations in the labor mar ket. and a Socialist government would have to think out this problem just as much as an individualist government.
 As a remedy for the existing evil he advocated some national system for as- certaining where there was employ ment and where there was labor. It was important to know where there was a surplus and where there was deficiency. We had mercantile marine offices at every port. and that was why there were hardly any sailors among the unemployed. There should be some such system which would help to abol- ish casual labor. Then there was much labor employed which ought not to be employed, such as child labor, which ought to be still further restrict ed. There was services in which the hours of labor should be reduced. and there should be no necessity for mothers with children to go out to work All this would provide work for a greater number and help to ab- sorb some of the surplus.
 Public works should be regulated so as to extend over a number of years. For the failures there must be main tenance with training. and for tho people who would not work a detention colony of a reformatory kind. He thought there should be minister for labor with several departments to deal with this great subject.

SOUTH AFRICAN UNION.
Sixty Societies Meet in Conference 10

Sixty Societies Meet in Conference 10
 Further Unite Colonies.
 Johannesburg, March 20--Johannes- burp has been the scene of a confer ence of representatives of some sixty "Closer Union Societies" which have been formed Throughout South Africa within the last few months.
 These societies have been brought into existence with the object of fur thering national union although not any particular form of union, and the fact that they have sprung up in every part of the country and that they em- brace members of all political parties has made 1t inevitable that there should be a wide divergence of views. among the representatives at the con ference.
 The basis of the discussions at the conference has been a resolution pro- posed by MT. Patrick Duncan that the Association of Closer Union Societies approves of the draft of the South African Act of Union, and recommends It's adoption by the colonies of South Africa" Numerous amendments were proposed and hotly debated. some deal ing with the specific clauses of the constitution and others maintaining the right of amendment or the necessity of submitting the constitution to the popular vote before 1t finally passes the National Convention. In the end however, MT. Duncan's resolution was carried unanimously with a great dis play of enthusiasm.
 The great value of the conference has been that it has given the public an object lesson in the difficulties which confronted the delegates to the National Convention itself, and made their final agreement such a remark able achievement The resolution adopted Is likely to have consider able erect by consolidating public opinion throughout South Africa in favor of accepting the Constitution as | It stands.

there weren't any others to do 1t, just as the Catholics did for the world in the past.
 Here's a Baptist" handing me magenta partulacca, "and there's some more." pointing to the verbenas and what was left of the heliotropes. They like to be off to themselves, like the close e-communionists. and don't want to be overshadowed They like plenty of water and want their toes in a puddle and their heads in the sunshine. If a heliotrope gets dry at Its toes 1t turns black and has the dry rot.'i

 "Oh, they aint blooming now; but they are those big spotted Japan lilies, all for show and outward form Make a grand display, like the Episcopals.

They were first Campbellites, then Disciples and Re- formers. and now Christians. and so 1t Is with the asters.

Others call them fall roses. and some even say chrysanthe- nuns. They take a lot of water. too.

ENGLISH UNEMPLOY
G, BERNARD SHAW SAYS GoVEHN-
 MENT SHOULD PAY THEM.
They Deserve Wages While Waiting For Work Just As Much As Soldiers Do While Wait
 ing For War.

I.ondon. March 20-A public meeting was held at St. James's Hall, Great Portland Street, this week to hear an address by Mir. Sidney Webb, L. .. O'' on "The Remedy for Unemployment.
 Mir. G. Bernard Shaw. who presided said he supposes that a good many of those present were under the m, pression that the unemployed owed their unemployment to defects in their own character, but that that was not the case he could say from his own knowledge and experience. If any one employed two workmen and there came A time. owing to the falling off Of trade, when they had to dismiss one, the man that went did not owe his dis- missal at his defects of character. but because, there was not sufficient work for him for if the two men had brought up to the same high level of character they would still have had to discharge one.
 The second prejudice was the idea that a man should only be paid while he was actually working. When one of our occasional scares was on we did not go out and engage our sol diers in the street We had to keep our men in training and ready to fight We recognized that our soldiers and sailors should be paid while they were waiting and we should recognize the same principle in the case of our in- dustrial army.
 The-third prejudice he wanted to clear away was that when a man was out of employment he did not steal anything. It was then that he did cost us something. The employed men cost us nothing. but the moment we sent him workless into the street he began to cost us money, not directly perhaps as wage-payers. but as rate-payers Finally. if a hundred years ago. the citizens of this country had made UT employed and the children of the un- employed and had kept them we'll fed
