Dieting Does Not
 Cure Indigestion
Self Denial by Prescribed Rules of Health Used to be Con
 sidered a Cure.

Starvation is a strange remedy for any disease. Yet starvation by rigor- ous diet was once generally, resorted to in cases of Indigestion and Dyspep- sia- Even yet, 1t is sometimes tried. Such a remedy is worse than useless. Every day of life consumes a portion of the tissues of the human body. The food we eat serves to repair the waste, and you can't build up the system by withholding the material necessary for these purposes. When you have Dys- pepsia or Indigestion, or any form of stomach trouble, take little Kodol to help the stomach do it's work.
 We say take Kodol. because 1t is the only preparation that will digest all the food you eat. Every table spoonful of Kodol digests 1-4 pounds of food. It supplies the same digestive juices that are found in a healthy. vigorous stomach. There are other preparations that are partial digesters, but what your stomach needs is com plete rest Kodol Is the on1M prepar- ation that wifi give 1t. man Is so constituted that he needs a variety of foods; to reduce the variety always produces bad results. In ninety-nine cases out of 100. Indigestion is due to lack of some of the elements which constitute the natural digestive juices. Kodol supplies just what is needed. Our 9uarantee: Get a dollar bottle of Ko- dol. If you are not beneited--the druggist will at once return your money. Don't hesitate: any druggist will sell you Kodol on these terms. The dollar bottle contains two and @ half times as much as the 50 cents bot lie. Kodol Is prepared in the labora- tories of E. c. Dewitt & Co, Chicago

"HUMAN sEIsMoGRAPH"
Maud Drake Processes to Fortell
Earthquakes

Boulder Creek Cal. May MAUD
Lord Drake, who has spir:tualistis ten
denotes and calls herself human Sc
ismograph, predicts that a disaster of
dire proportions is imminent some
where on this continent. She de-
clares that she foretold the Galveston
tidal wave and the San Francisco
earthquake, and warned the inha5i-
tants of both these cities weeks be-
forehand that destruction was upon
them. She also lays claim to fore
warming of the Slocum disaster, the
Collingwood Ohio, school fire and the
recent series of earthquakes in for
eign lands. She says:
These disturbances confuse and
distress me beforehand in proportion
to their destructiveness and nearness.
On January % | was greatly affected
all day, could with difficulty keep my
feet. everything turning in confusion;
then came a hurrying of spirits. hith-
er and thither, with all kinds of
clothing for men, women and chill
dren All that time told OF great
earthquakes to come, and on that very
day, in the Province of Turkestan in
western Persia 60 villages and more
than 5000 people were destroyed.
Then came the eruption of the Colima
volcano in Mexico, and month later
the destruction of Messina.
But the worst is to come For
many months at various times | have
been and | am now, in the shadow of
something even more appalling and
destructive of human life ] cannot
penetrate the gloom as yet, but it
seems that it must be in this country
and that must be in it. In addition
to the cataclysm impending in this
country there is to be another merci-
less disaster in Europe; not right soon
perhaps but still not very far distant.
But, if as in other cases, | should
get the light in time to warn the To-
calities to be affected, what good
would it do? People will not heed UNI
til too late. They paid no attention
in Galveston or San Francisco nor
was any heed given when, in 1888. /

ing disaster in the island of Krakaton

GOVERNMENT TAG NUMBER
Montpelier Attorney Calls Attention
to Diseased Beef" Number.

H. C. Shurtleff of Montpelier re-
fers to the diseased beef" issue as
follows.
Editor of Evening Argus: If you
have space to spare | would like to
say just word concerning the traffic
in beef that has responded to the
tuberculin test.
While the right of any person to
purchase and even to eat such beef
if he knows and understands what he
is buying might be conceded: yet
there are few people who desire to be
imposed upon by being sold this prod
uct under the impression that they
are purchasing something else. The
fact that their martyrdom might help
to ward off such defect of admins
tration as deficit in the state treas
ury would not alter the case in a ma
iority of instances
An attempt is made 10 lull the peo-
pie into sense of security by saying
that there is no danger in eating such
meat anyway; and that, even ii
there Is, none of the meat is being
sold in Vermont. AS to the first prop
osition. the letter of DR.. Templeton
which appeared in a recent issue of
your paper ought to be convincing
AS to the second proposition, il is a
fact that this meat is being sold in
and around Burlington, as it was pFi-
or to 1906. and rumor has it that
some of it has even got as far as
Montpelier How far can a concern
that has once been convicted of sell
ing diseased meat in Vermont be
trusted not to do the same thing
again, particularly if it thinks itself
protected by contract with the gov
ernor
Now beef that is government in
spected bears a blue colored stamp
on ii containing number which in
| dicates from whence it came
These numbers are recorded in the
department of agriculture at Wash
ington. 1t is with a view of making
public the number with which beef
from the Burlington Rendering COM
pany is stamped that leads me to
write this article. It's number 555.
If purchasers of meat will notice
the number with which it is stamp
ed. they need not consciously buy any
of the above article. Meat bearing
the above number comes from the
rendering plant.
Any person who is made ill by eat
ing diseased meat, sold to them as
being healthy can maintain action at
law against the person selling it, not
WlthStanding q contract made NV
state authorities with the rendering
plant. If few cases if illness could
be traced to beef bearing the above
number and a few good lawsuits re-
suit 1t would be more effective in
stopping this traffic than any moral
suasion.

FRAGMENTS BY
DYNAMITE
Half a Ton Of Explosive Does
Deadly Work
BIG BLAST IN QUARRY
Cause of Disaster Unknown But Be-
Iieved to Have Been Premature
Setting OF of Dynamite Cap

Albany, May 123.-At least 20 men
were killed by premature blast OF
dynamite yesterday afternoon in
stone quarry operated by the Gala
nan Road Improvement company near
the village of South Bethlehem, IL
miles southwest of Albany.
One thousand pounds of dynamite
exploded, scattering the bodies of the
victims for hundreds of feet around
and it was with difficulty that the
blakened dismembered emains, mu-
tilated almost beyond recognition,
were identified. AS darkness was
falling a wagon drew up to the en-
CINE house, loaded with bodies that
had been picked up back on the quar-
~ hill A crowd of grief stricken rel
atives gathered around eager to iden-
tify the dead, only to turn away at the
sickening sight. Clothing hung in
shreds from the bodies, the heads OF
some being missing; others lacked
ars or legs or both.
Although the disaster is supposed
to hive been caused by the premature
explosion of an electric cap, it prob
ably never will be known just how it
occurred, as all those who were con-
nected with 1t were killed

Though Divorced so Years ex-Hus-

Chicago, May 12.-Divorced men
have received shock from Judge
Farlin O. Ball that has caused many
of them to seek the advice of law
yers.
Although divorced so years, is the
decision of the jurist, and although
no mention of alimony was made in
the decree, no divorced man is safe
from the payment of alimony so long
as his former wife lives and fails to
remarry, providing she seeks the
courts aid to compel her husband to
support her.
Even though the divorced husband
has married again, become a father,
and grandfather. the former wife's
rights to alimony are not thereby ham
pered or annulled in any way, accord

Several leading attorneys, when
questioned about the decision, declar-

There are twelve posts in our de-

some of the others are considering the
matter of asking the leading and in
fuential men in their vicinity to be-
come associates to their local post.
There are many departments which
have posts with associates and |
firmly believe that it will create more
interest in the order and encourage
the comrades to hold together many
years longer if they have the financial
aid and encouragement that so many

hope to see the time when associates
may be legalized by our national or
