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

You need a 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 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 suflc-
tent amount Of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and 1t 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 de
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak II needs help;
you must help it by giving II rest,
and Kodol will do that.

Wounded in Quarrel Over
Divorce.

RENO, New, Oct. 29.-Albert Talbot, a

couple last night, Mrs, Talbot says that
her husband rendered her unconscious

ranged a meeting with Talbot and her at
torney, to discuss a separation and prop
erty division.
The woman demanded a divorce and
property amounting to 5000 which her hus,
band refused. A dispute led to a scuffle.
Before the attorney could interfere, Mrs.
Talbot fired at her husband with a pistol
sha had concealed in her muff. Talbot was
shot through a lung. Mrs. Talbot fired q
second time, but missed her husband.
Talbot was later removed TO a hospital
where his condition was declared to be
serious. He refused to make a dying state
ment, but insisted he was shot by acct
dent.
Mrs. Talbot made her debut as an opera
singer in Milan, italy, in 1907. She was
then known as Nine, Talbo.
