vited to the funeral at st. Paurs. The
French ambassador, on receiving his

hurried off to his colleague of Russia,

the diff Guilty in which he was placed.
"The Queen" he said, expects US
to go to st. Pauls, to the funeral of
the Duke of Wellington. How can~I

duke inflicted on my country? What

funeral. If you were asked to attend
his resurrection, should say refuse
the invitation"

Destroying Gophers.

Two implements used in Califor-
MIA for destroying gophers and other
rodents are described with illustra-
tions in the March Popular Mechan-
les. One of them is flld with a chemi-
cal that makes a poisonous gas.
Working a bellows on the top forces
this gas through a hose in the holes
of the rodents, thus killing them. The
second implement is filled with damp
straw and set on fire. A bellows which
fits into an attachment on the tor
of the receptacle blows the dense
smoke through a tube which is in
serted in the ground near the open
ing of a gopher run and covered will
earth. This fills the little subterran
can passages with the smoke.

A DEMOCRATIC INSULT
Pennsylvanians Resent q Reelection
on Senator
Knox

Philadelphia Record (dem.):
Whatever may be thought BY demo-
cratic members Of the house COM
mittee on tho election Of president
and vice-president regarding the
constitutionality of the appointment
of Senator Knox to be secretary OF
state, there was no excuse whatever
for their Offering an insult to him
in the minority report which they
presented. "a designing SENATOR"
this report says extensively, could
reasonably anticipate that although
his salary would be temporarily re-
duced in the closing years of his
senatorial term, at the expiration Of
that term it would, through his in
fuence, be resorted." The phrase
"a designing senator" is i~nexcusable.
Mr.. Knox may anticipate that if he
should take the office of secretary
of state the salary which it is now
proposed to reduce would be restored
to the present figure. But he would
have no more influence to procure
this than any other secretary. The
constitutional inhibition refers to
senators and representatives who
should vote to raise salaries in an
ticipation of appointments to Off
ces. The purpose of the inhibition
would not be violated by the pro-
posed enabling act to make 1T pos
. sible for Mr.. Knox to take the Office
for which he has been selected is
in itself a compliance with the sub
stance of the inhibition.

For DZspepsia and INDIGESTION
the Stomach, Belching. Sour Stomach, Heartburn,
etc, a little Kodol will Relieve you almost Instantly

Kodol supplies the same digestive
Juices that are found in a healthy
stomach. Being a liquid, it starts
digestion at once.
Kodol not only digests your food,
but helps you enjoy every mouthful
you eat.
You need a 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 cannotdo it's
work properly, take something to
help your stomach. Kodol is the
only thing that will give the stom-
ach complete rest.
Why? Because Kodol does the
same work a a strong stomach, and
does it in a natural way.
