SO, don't neglect your stomach.
DON'T become a chronic dyspeptic.
Keep your stomach healthy and
strong. by taking n little Kodol.
You don't have to take Kodol all
the time. You only take it when
you need it.
kodol is perfectly harmless.
Clarke courier. [volume] (Berryville, Va.) 1869-1997, 1909-04-07

Kodol supplies the same digestive
juices that are found i'm healthy
stomach. Being liquid, it starts
digestion at once.
Kodol not only digeSts your food,
but helps you enjoy every mouthful
you eat.
You need sufficient amount OF
good, wholesome food to maintain
strength and health.
But, this food must be digested
thoroughly, otherwise the pains Of
indigestion and dyspepsia are the
result.
When your stomach cannot do its
work properly, take something TO
help your stomach. Kodol is the
only thing that will give the stom-
ach complete rest.
Why9 Because Kodol does the
same work as strong stomach, and
does 1t in natural way.

BALD HEADS NOT WANTED
Badness is too Generally Consid-
cred Sign of Advanced Age.

A bald headed person does not have
an equal chance with one blessed with
a healthy head of hair, because bald
ness is too generally accepted as an in
dication of age. Many large corpora
tions have established an age limit, and
refuse to take men over 80 years of age
as new employees.
Almost So per cent of bald headed
people may regain a good head of
healthy hair If they will follow our ad-
vice and accept our offer. We have a
remedy that we positively guarantee to
grow hair on any head, unless the roots
of the hair are entirely dead, their
frollicles closed, and the scalp has be-
come glazed and shiny. We want
people to try this remedy at our risk,
with the distinct understanding that
unless it does exactly what we claim it
will, and gives satisfaction in every
respect, we shall make no charge for
the remedy used during the trial.
I We know exactly what we are talk
ing about, and with this offer back of
our statements no one should scott,
doubt our word or hesitate to put our
remedy to an actual test.
We want everyone in Yale who is
suffering from any scalp or hair trouble,
dandruff, falling hair or badness to try
our Rexall 1893" Hair Tonic. We want
them to use it regularly-say until
three bottles have been used-and if il
does not eradicate dandruff, cleanse
and refresh the scalp, tighten the hair
In its roots, and grow new hair, we will
return every cent paid us for the RENE.
dy for the mere asking. There is nc
formality expected, and we exact nc
obligation from the user whatever.
We are established right here in Yale
and make this offer with full under.
standing that our business success en-.
tirely depends upon the sort of treat
ment we accord our customers, and we
would not dare make the above Offer
unless we were positively certain that
we could substantiate il in every par.

and his fears, as Gods voice, would

Ii man devoutty searches the

If man devoutly searches the book
of nature, with a desire to obey her
laws, is he sure to find GodY
Verses 31.34-Where in the Bible is
the passage which the Ethiopian was
readingp
Is it always necessary, that some one
should explain the scriptures to us?
Can we understand the Scriptures or
get the full import of any fact, with
out the aid of the Holy Spiritp
Why could not, or why did not, the
Holy Spirit explain this scripture to
the Ethiopian direct?
AS a matter of fact, was not the
Holy spirit guiding the Ethiopian as
much as he was Philip?
Was Isaiah conscious when he wrote
these words, that they applied to Jesus,
or did he think he was describing some
other person or persons?
Did not the prophets, as other inspired
men, often write more wisely than they
knew
Verses 35-38-Did this Ethiopian
need converting" the same as wilful
sinner, or did he, as devout child of
God, simply recognize Jesus as the sent
of God, and was then baptized in his
name?
Verses 80, 40-Was Philip, so to speak
spirited" away, or did he leave in a
natural manner?

though He spake to us direct?
1 do not know whether this angel

he, she or it, convinced Philip, that
God wanted him to go south; now how

country have won a notable victory
over the railroads, judging by the an

auctions from the new schedule of

agreed on by the railroads.
The new rates will be made effective
as soon as the amended tariffs can be

The Mask.

Masked, Only her mouth and chin
were visible, and several little pieces
of courtplaster effectually disguised
these. There was a mystery. He to
come blindfolded and she to wear a
mask, Extraordinary! There was
something more than jest: she
really did not wish to be known, and
the reason lay far back of all this
beyond his grasp. He stood there
durnbfounded She rose. The move
ment was elegant.
And this" she said ironically lis
the gentleman who leaned out of the
Window"
He brought all his faculties to-
gether. for he knew that he would
need them in this encounter sup
posing 1 had fallen out of it, Well,
il could not have mattered. l should
not have been more at your feet than

sidering how dry his tongue was.
IF you had fallen out? 1 had not

house broken, and an itinerant siren!
You had been wise to have stuffed
your ears that night"
My mythology is rusty. And l
much prefer Penelope. She interests
me vastly more than the ancient
prize fighter"
But sit down, Mr.. Hillard. sit
down" The lady with the mask mo-
toned him to a chair directly under
the light She wished to study his
face while she talked.
HiIlard reached the chair success
fully enough, but he never could
recolleet how. He sat down as a
bashful man sits down in a crowded
ball room, with his knees drawn in
tightly and his feet at sympathetic
angles. He knew that she would
have the best of him in this engage
rnent All the bright things to say
would come to him after he had gone
home. It was far easier to write let
tiers. That mask! One might as well
converse with the Sphinx. His face
was hers to study; her emotions
would be wholly her own.
Presently she laughed with malice.
You are not comfortable in that
chair"
That is true; and yet it is soft and
roomy. 1 am uneasy. Perhaps you
recall to my subconsciousness a period
in my former existence on earth; or,
if you will, one of my ancestors"

THE LURE OF THE MASK
BY Copyright 1908
HANOI D MGRATH The Bobbs-hferriH Co.
Continued fir ON yesterday.)

He passed over these articles,
shook the wrinkles from his trousers,
smoothed his chin, and stood at at
tention. The maid eyed him with
abundant approval, then knocked tim
idly on the door leading TO the draw
ing room. He was sure of one thing;
this was some millionaire's home.
What if he should see in the drawing
room a party OF his intimate friends,
ready to plague and jest. He shud-
dered. He never had entertained such
an appalling probability.
"Avantii" called a soft voice from
within.
Hillard gathered in his courage,
opened the door and stepped inside.
A single lamp in a far corner drew
his glance, which roved a moment
later. On a divan near this lamp
sat a woman in black. Only a patch
of white throat could be seen, for her
shoulders were not bare and her arms
only to the elbows. Her back was
turned squarely. He could see moth
ing of her face. But what a head.
He caught his breath. 1t glowed like
a copper-beeeh in the sunshine. What
was it? There was something, some
thing he could not see
"Madame?" he faltered. He had
had a gallant Italian phrase to turn
for her benefit. He spoke English in
stead. and not very firmly.
The woman turned. Hillard took a
step backward and Numbered against
a pedestal.
She was masked
