Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.

You need q 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 stomach If
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 suf11c-
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 d.
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help;
you must help 1t by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.

Members of Leading Families are
Present and Americans May

Between $50 and 300 people were
burned to death and many were in
jured in a fire which destroyed the
Flores Theater in the city of Acapul
co, Mexico Sunday night. The news
OF the disaster reached Mexico City
Monday afternoon, telegraphic COM
munication with Acapulco having
been destroyed owing to the fact that
tie telegraph Office adjoining the
theater was burned and all wires put
out of commission.
The Flores Theater was a wooden
structure and more than 1000 per-
sons had crowded into it to witness a
special performanc given in honor
OF Governor Damian Flores OF the
state of Guerrero, who was visiting
rhe post.
One of the numbers OF the program
consisted of series of moving
pictures While the operator was ex~
hibit:ng these "a film caugat fire and
blaze was communicated to some
bunting which had been used for
decorative purposes. In short time
the flames spread to all parts Of the
structure.
There were but three narrow exits
and the pann-stricken audience rush
ed to them, many falling to be crush
ed to death, their bodies choking the
way 10 escape to others.
Literally Roasted Alive.
The screams of those imprisoned
were terrifying. Owing to the rapid
ity with which the FIRE spread it was
impossible to attempt rescue work
and those imprisoned were literally
roasted alive, as the nre burned with
little smoke and few were suffocated
The efforts of the fire department
were confined to attempting to save
adjoining buildings, and they sue
ceeded so that the property loss was
small The telegraph office, post
office and custom house were dam
aged, but all OF the government rec
ords and registered mail was saved
Piuful scenes were enacted on the
streets of the little West coast port
Monday. Men. women and children
were wandering from place to place
hunting for relatives or friends.
Many of the dead are from the first
families OF the state, the affair at the
theater being a special event of con-
siderable importance ana calling out
