Kodol supplies the same digestive
juices that are found In a healthy
stomach. Being a liquid, 1t 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.
Why2 Because Kodol does the
same work as strong stomach, and
does it in natural way.

The Sabbath In The Life.
(Dy Mrs. C. P. Miller.)

Sabbath-to rest-a day set
apart in the old Testament as a
period of. cessation from work.
This Sabbath was intended for
everybody of every kindred
strangers, slaves, even animals in
olden times. There can be no
doubt as to its meaning in the old
Testament. 1t is intended as
principal testimony of faith in the
Creator of the Universe. Hence
its very great or supreme imp or-
lance. Although the threatened
punishments for Sabbath break
ers never seem to be carried out
to the full during the times of the
established commonwealth in the
scheme of Judaism it was placed
on a par with the entire body of
the law and he who transgressed
the Sabbath was considered legal
ly as one who had set the whole
law at defiance and was to be
looked upon in every respect as a
heather. One writer said BleS-
sed art thou O Lord our God,
King ofst universe who hath
sanctified us by his laws, and hath
made us participate in his grace,
and hath in his love and in his
mercy given us the Sabbath as a
remembrance of the creation and
in memory of the redemption from
Egypt; for thou hast chosen lis
from all peoples and hast given
unto us thy holy Sabbath in love
and in grace. Another writer
said, Blessed art thou o Lord,
our God King of the universe who
divided between holy and unholy,
between light and darkness, be-
tween Israel and the peoples,
between the Sabbath and the six
days of creation" The Sabbath
in the life gives cheerfulness, hap
piness, rest from the toll and tur-
MOL of the words business, a
quiet and peaceful return into one S
self, d joyous communion with
friends-in short, a mental and
bodily relaxation that sirens CITIZENS,
braced and makes the heart glad
The benefits of this day of rest
for the individual are self evident
and need no comment. On one
hand how it connects the humane
being with the divine Creator, and
on the other with his fellow crea-
lures, brother and stranger even
the beasts of burden it inculcated
with irresistible force, pious rev.
erence, fear and love of God the
sole master of all things, man S
time and property included. From
a National economy point of view
the proportion of the six days of
work to the one of judicious rest is
one of manifest wisdom and a
great blessing to man.

Chamberlain's Liniment.

This is a new preparation and a
good one. 1t is especially valua-
BILE as cure for chronic and mus
cular rheumatism, and for the re-
lief from pain which it affords in
acute infiammatory rheumatism.
Those who have used it have in
variably spoken of it in the high
est terms of praise. Lame back,
lame shoulder and stiff neck are
due to. rheumatism of the muscles
usually brought on by exposure to
cold or damp, and are quickly
cured by applying this liniment
freely and massaging the effected
par S. Soreness of the muscles,
whether induced by violent exer-
else exercise or injury, is allayed
by this liniment. Forsale by J c

Louisville Times,

Liars, we have been told, are, fol
purposes of Jurisprudence, divisiblt
into three classes; there is the liar
pure and simple; next the id liar
and last, the expert witness. That
the evil distinction of the last class
is not the expression OF the chagrir
of lay ignorance, that IL is something
more than the vain protest of those
who know no better. Is sufficiently
Indicated by the report of the com
mittee on expert testimony presented
to the Kentucky State Bar association
lately in session at Paducah. Fol
vigorous denuneiation of prevailing
practices and as an arraignment Of
laxness too general in respect OF ad
mission to the bar, this Official pro
uouncement would be hard to i'm
prove. Its terms are uncompromis
ing and its demand for reform i'm
perative.
The lawyers begin by paying a just
tribute to the medical profession
which, confronted with a like evil
has not hesitated to take radical steps
toward Kidding itself Of the reproach
and has protected the standard Of
preparedness required of its mem.
bers. But II goes further and pro
poses to embody its suggestions In 6
bin to be submitted to the legisla'
ture. That public contempt and oper
derision are the portion of most ex.
pert witnesses will not be denied, any
more than there will be any two opin.
ions as to the gravity of a condition
of sentiment which is prone to class
all expert testimony as alike pnre'
liable. II Is true that quack and dis
honest experts, so-called, can be
found TO range themselves for a fee
on any side OF a debatable point OF
medical Jurisprudence, and the time
has about arrived when a scandalizet
public, having lost all sense of die
termination, believe in none OF them
The suggestion that the courts can dc
much TO raise the standard by regu.
lating the manner and scope OF the
examination is conyincingly true, but
cooperation between the two profes.
sions can do more. II can bring back
respect where respect is essential.

PURITANISM.

Ferraro, the great Italian his
torian and philosopher, in his state
ments about the people of the United
States might have paraphrased the
declaration Scratch a Russian and
you will find a Tartar, by saying
Scratch an American and you will
find a Puritan.
Yes, Puritans burned witches.
Also Abraham had more than one
wife. We neither burn witches to-
day, nor do we approve of poly
gamy. Times change, and even the
best of us are chained by customs
and example.
The Puritan today does many
things for which the Puritan of '76
would fail to recognize his relation
ship. The dominant note of the Puri-
tan character is an unfailing faith
in the guidance of Providence
and the belief that what is wrong
must go. From the time, when they
began the bloody Revolution for the
principle. that all men are born
free and equal, to the present day
the Puritan spirit has been fighting
something. IL is militant, agrees
sive force. capable of changing in
non-essentials. but ever on the side
OF the fundamental right.
IL was the Puritan spirit that
fought the Spanish-American war.
Spain was cruel to Cuba. The Puri-
tan spirit within us said there is
wrong over there; let US go and
fight ii. 1t is the Puritan cast of
conscience that is holding ever be-
fore us the determination to manage
Porto Rico and the Philippines in
the ultimate interest of the Porto
Ricans and Filipinos. 1t is the Puri-
tan determination that set us about
purging the temples of the Republic
of the money changers, cost what 1t
may; regardless of the spectacle Of
corruption we exposed TO the world.
No keener insight into a national
character was ever exhibited than
that of the brilliant Italian. who
thus was enabled to read the fortune
of an alien people.

power to change the whole complex
ion of the supreme court; and since
those judges are human, developed
| by their environments, and limited
by their experiences as to breadth
of vision, il is important that he
should place on 1t men, not only
temperamentally conservative, but
progressive and in sympathy with
the times. No mere practicing law
yer, no matter how deep his learn
ing, and analytical his mind. will
serve to the satisfaction of the
country.
Governor Hughes has the erudi-
ton, the legal experience, the poise,
and the experience in affairs. More
over, he is progressive and abreast
of the times. That the rulings of
the court are affected by the spirit
in which public questions are viewed
by the justices, it requires only a
cursory examination of the records
to prove.
The age of mere material advance
ment is drawing too close. This is
the dawning of an age OF ethical ad-
vancement. The material develop
ment was merely the foundation,
and much that is evil has fastened
itself on our enterprises. Perhaps.
it would be better to say the evil
became apparent when we began to
change the direction of our thoughts.
Our laws, our endeavors and our
courts have been bent on one thing
and one only, the protection OF
property very wise thing. in
deed; but not to be considered to the
exclusion of all else. t-
What is best for the whole COM
munity; what is best for mankind.
has been the criterion by which Gov
ernor Hughes has judged all ques-
lions. and yet, no. one can say that
Governor Hughes has overstepped
the bounds either of propriety or
good judgment.

What They Say About the Tobacco Tax

masterpiece Of logic, eloquense and
power. II was not only able In every
sense. but II was also convincing to
the senate. At its conclusion sena-
tors, irrespective OF party, crowded
around him and warmly congratu-
lated him.
The action OF congress in this mat
ter brings to mind the prophecy and
pledge Senator Bradley made to the
Kentucky legislature in his speech
accepting his election to the senator
ship, that he would secure this relief
for the farmers OF Kentucky.
Not only has il remained for Sena-
tor Bradley to succeed in the tobacco
matter where all others had failed.
but II has also remained for him TO
perform--as he has done-other valu
able service for the interest of Ken
lucky farmers and miners in his fight
for duties on jute butts and fluor
spar.
SO II is that once more Kentucky
has a statesman in the national sem
ate of the type OF Clay and Critten-
den To Senator Bradley must be
given the credit of securing relief TO
the farmers and laborers engaged In
Kentucky's greatest industries. This
Is said without discredit OF the Demo-
cratic members who were for the free
tobacco measure; but II was Senator
Bradley's thorough grasp Of the situa-
ton, his ability to present the cause
OF Kentucky farmers. and his infiu-
enee with the Republican majority in
the upper house that brought to tri-
umphant fruition the hopes for relief
that for so many years had been
denied.
