A great many people who have frified with indigestion, have been sorry for it-when nervous or chronic dyspepsia resulted, and they have not been able to cure it
 Use Kodol and prevent having Dyspepsia.
 Everyone is subject to indiges. ton. Stomach depangement follows stomach abuse, just as naturally and just as surely as sound and healthy stomach results upon the taking of Kodol
 When you experience sourness of stomach, belching of gas and nauseating fluid, bloated sensation, gnawing pain in the pit of the stomach, heart burn (so-called), diarrhoea, headaches, duffness or chronic tired feellng-you need Ko- dol.

THE NUMBER SEVEN.
1t Rarely Occurs In the Science of
 Weights and Measures.

How would you define seven" The more than six" Webster's calls it ''one more than six or one less than eight" The abridged Webster says it is five and two," and the Century's definition runs "one more than six; the sum of three and four"
 In metrology-that is, the science of weights and measures-seyen is com paratively rare. The seven days of the week form a striking example of Its use, however.
 Scholars have found, too, that the Egyptian cubit contained seven hand breadths. "Cubit' is from the Latin "cubitum," the elbow, or the distance from the elbow to the end of the mid de finger. The Roman cubit was one and half Roman feet or 17.4 English inches, but the royal Egyptian cubit, used in the building of the pyramids of Gizeh, perhaps 3500 B. C., has been learned from measuring sticks found in the tombs to have been 20.64 Eng fish inches. The ordinary cubit was divided into six palms or handbreaths, and the use of seven in the Egyptian cubit is ascribed by some Investigators to probable custom of placing the hand behind the elbow when measur- ing along walls with the forearm and leaving it on the wall until the arm was laid down again. It should be added that there are many other cubits of widely different values, both ancient and modern Rochester Democrat and Chronicle

A CLOSE SHAVE
Many of Them Happening Every Day
 but Soon Forgotten.

Close slaves would be of more fre- quent occurrence but for the tender faces of many men. which will not per init of shaving often. Heretofore, nothing has been said in these col umns about poslam, a new skin discov- cry, in connection with it's use after shaving. Its publicity and sales have been confined almost exclusively to it's remarkable properties as an eczema cure; it stops the itching at once and cures the worst cases in a few days. While the application of poslam after shaving is one of it's minor uses, such as for pimples. the complexion, etc., shavers will find it a revelation, as it does for abrasions, roughness, and se- were scrapings what it does for all manner of skin difficulties-heals and cures in a few hours. It is the only article possessing real antiseptic and curative value that has ever been ex- plotted for this purpose, and will soothe and tone up the skin as no toilet preparation could possibly do.
 Poslam can be had for fifty cents at any reliable druggists, particularly Jennie Hamilton's Pharmacy, who make speciality of it. Or the Elmer gency Laboratories, No. 32 West 18th Street. New York City, will send trial supply free by mail to any one who will write for 1t. This is sufficient to show results in A hours.

How Lincoln Listened to
 a Soldiers Complaint

Ida M TarbeIl tells a wonderful story of Lincoln in the February American Magazine It is Billy Browns account of Lincoln and his relations with the soldiers. Billy Brown was an old Springfield. H.. friend of Lincoln's. Here is something that Lincoln himself once said to Brown:
 "A while after Bull Run met a boy out on the street here on crutches, thin and white, and I stopped to ask him about how he got hurt. Well, Billy, he looked at me hard as nails, and he says: Be you Abe Lincoln?' And said, Yes Well he says. all I've enlisted glad enough to do my part, and I've done 1t. but you ain't done yourn. You promised to feed me, and I marched three days at the beginning of these troubles without anything to eat but hardtack and two chunks of salt pork-no bread. no coffee-and what I did get wasn't regular. They got us up one mornin' and marched us ten miles without breakfast. Do you call that providin' for an army? And they sent us down to fight the Rebs at Bull Run, and when we were doin' our best and holdin' 'em-I tell you, holdfn' 'em-they told us to fall back. I swore J wouldn't-I hadn't come down there for that. They made me-rode me dgwn. I got struck-struck in the back. Struck in the back and they left me there-never came for me, never gave me Q drink and I dyin' of thirst. I crawled five miles for water, and I'd be dead and rottin' in Virginia to-day if teanster hadn't picked me up and brought me to this town and found an old darkey to take care of me. You ajrl't doin' your job, Abe Lincoln, you won't win this war until you learn to take care of the soldiers
 'T couldn't say thing. It was true. It's been true all the time. It's true to-day. We ain't taking care of the soldiers like we ought"

| was an inartistic thing and an affront l to every woman of good taste. There was loud applause when the Merry | Widow was put to death without one I dissenting vote. and the convention | took lively zest in declaring in favor | of the new styles running to small and compact shapes.
 The convention gave women a gener- ous variety for the spring and sum-
 mer. Several styles will be shown, and the millinery world will speak of them
 as the Russian tonk, the Albanian mili- tary hat. the Maud Muller, the 'F'ren-
 Zied Finance" and the Peanut" The
 Russian tonk is the most decorous of the lot. It is not unlike an inverted champagne bucket, and is almost bare of decoration. It is a study in plain ness, being made simply of a firm shape, covered with satin or silk and with a single buckle to right or left at
 the pleasure of the wearer. The Alba
 nian follows the military headgear of the Servian and Albanian army of fcer. It Is made of felt or straw and
 studded thickly with large jet beads or
 medallions. One side is adorned with a gold or silver tassel topped by an afgrette. The n1illiners expressed the belief this hat will be the most popu-
 lar of all. It will irritate women, how ever, in that 1t requires the wearing of the hair low and flat.
 | The Peanut" hat is smaller than the
 Peter Pan. which fourished a couple of years ago. It is made of dark satin. caught on flat wire shape. with one or two flowers as the accepted color scheme. A small ostrich plume of
 black, however, may go with the Pea i nut,'' but it must be worn we'll to either side. The hat the milliners facetiously christened the 'Frenzied Finance" will be an expensive luxury. Silk or satin
 is used and is almost smothered in
 flowers of the most expensive make. The more flowers the better for the "Frenzied Finance" which is the of | f1cial eye of the n1illiner will receive readiest acceptance when making the closest approach to a flower garden. The Maud Muller is of a shape re- serabling an overturned soup tureen.
 It also offers a riot in flowers. which
 run in heavy line all around the rim. Artificial flowers of great size are to
 be worn. and the Maud Muller and the Frenzied Finance have been put forth
 as the two best efforts of all the allied
 milliners.
 All the delegates to the convention scattered to their homes to-day, carry ing models of the approved styles with them for the delight of the feminine
 heart the country oyer.

SAVED LINCOLN
 FROM BOMB
Story of An Attempted As sassination in Baltimore Railroad Station.

Springfield, Ohio. Feb. 10-That an attempt was made upon President Lln- -..coln's life in Baltimore as he was on sllis way to Washington to take office .--is told by Mrs Mary Coggeshall, widow of the Springfield man who. she says, nsaved the president from death.
 All these years the story has remaln- ed a secret with Mrs. Coggeshall. to whom 1t was told by her husband in secrecy. Lincoln told no one of 1t. Mrs. Coggeshall believes it's telling now can do no harm and that it may be an interesting addition to the Lincoln literature of the month.
 Her story Is that bomb was hurled into the coach occupied by Lincoln as 1t was standing in the station in Balti- more on the way to Washington and that her husband first showed Lincoln through the door of the car and then hurled the bomb through a window ot the coach away from the crowd.
 Coggeshall, who was one of the war presidents close friends. accompanied him from Columbus, O., to Washing ton. He was later sent by Lincoln as minister to Ecuador, where he died of yellow fever.
 Mrs. Coggeshall says: "A change of cars had to be made in Baltimore. The special car dashed into the depot and preparations for an immediate change for the Washington car were made MT. Lincoln and my husband were the last to leave the coach. MT. Lincoln who was leading. turned, just as they reached the door and saw missing bomb in the seat he was passing. MT Coggeshall turned and saw what men, aced the president. He gave Lincoln a shove that sent him out on the plat form. grabbed the bomb and hurled it out of the window opposite to where the crowd was gathered and then hur- ried to the waiting train. When they had become composed Lincoln ex- claimed: 'Coggeshall did not tell you that if you came with me I should come safely? God knows best
 "For moment my husband could not talk. Then he said MT. President, let this pass no further: let us not give it to the world to be criticised
 'Who put the bomb in the car was never learned"
