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 if
it is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat suflic-
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it 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 di-
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach Is weak it needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.

FLETCHER FAVORS LOWEST BIDDER That Is Speaking Generally;
 They'r Exceptions
 Though.
 Director Biltz Is Not Going to Take Any Chances Contract for Paving g Main Street May Be Awarded Monday Night.

Alderman Benjamin Fletcher having arrived home Alderman Hartley, chair man of the street committee has called a meeting of the committee for Mon day night for the purpose of settling the dispute over the kind of wood block that shall be laid in Main street.
 The director of public works and the railroad company have become fear ful of a dangerous accident in Main street which is full of holes and rather than wait for the action of the street this morning mending holes in the asphalt pavement between Golden Hill street and East Washington avenue 6 and inches deep. Director Biltz to- engine go up Main street yesterday and my heart almost stopped beating when they hit those holes. It is not safe to wait any longer. I could have loose stone placed in the holes. but they would not stay. The men are using cement with the stones and the repairs will make it safe to drive through the street. The railroad com pany is also going ahead with its re- pairs"
 Alderman Benjamin Fletcher fresh from a fortnight's outing at Atlantic City said this afternoon that he had talk with the mayor in ord-< 70 learn what he could about the condi- tions surrounding the letting of the contract. He declared that on general principles he believed that contracts should go to the lowest bidder, all conditions being equal. ''But," he said ''the cheapest material is not always the best. People have told me that the Wyckoff concern is willing to give a bond for five years and that they are about $2, GOO cheaper than the next lowest bidder. I think it is undoubt- edly true that a five year guarantee amounts to Lothing in the wear of wood block.
 'I think the committee will be able to settle the matter Monday night"

MINE WORKERS
 ISSUE STATEMENT
(speciaI from United Press.)


 Philadelphia, April 10.-To patch up a truce between factions in their ranks. the miners executive committee re- sumed its session at the Hotel Han over soon after breakfast this morn ing. President Lewis issued a state ment as follows:
 'It is to be regretted that the ope- rators' and miners representatives this city this week. The representa- tives of the miners organization, act ing with authority of the Scranton convention of sthe anthracite mine workers decided to meet the operators in a spirit of conciliation and friend- ship. The miners representatives finally decided to accept the terms of the award of the strike commission and to continue it for a period of three years with the following amendment thereto:
 "First-That where wages of em- ployes have been reduced during the past three years in violation of the award of strike agreement the rate of wages be restored to that fixed by the strike committees award.
 ''Second-That the right to hire and discharge was recognized as being ex- clusively vested, in the mine worker, appeal should be recognized in order that the question of discrimination might be determined.
 '"Third-That no suspension of work should take place at any colliery dur ing the investigation and final adjust ment of any differences that might arise between the employer and em- ploye.
 'Fourth-That the agreement should be signed on behalf of the United Mine Workers of the anthracite coal region.
 "It is said that the operators have granted a concession. This I cannot understand as the operators refuse to agree to restore the wages of the men f1I, y,o |, a past three years in direct violation of the award of the strike committee.
 '"The operators representatives re- fused like wise to permit the miners tion on behalf of the United Mine Workers of the anthracite coal re- zion. s'
 'Great stress has been given to the commissions award by the operators in stating that the award did not pro- vide for the signing of any agreement with the United Mine Workers and that for this reason they refused to enter into contract.
 "As a matter of fact the strike com mittee not only believed that an agreement should be made with the mine workers through their organiza- tion, but recommend the form of an agreement which is matter of rec ord.
 "It seems that the strike committees award is to be made the instrument of depriving the anthracite mine workers of every right that wage earners and citizens of this coontry should enjoy.
 'sThat the operators have a perfect organization is evident from the fact that they issue orders at any time to advance or reduce the selling price of coal and that order is quite uniform in it's application. Even now it is re- ported that they have notified their selling agents not to contract for large tonnage.
 'The representatives of the United Mine Workers were g. unit in their po- sition when presenting and defending propositions submitted to the opposi- tion."

The Unit of Heat.

We cannot, of course. measure heat by yards. pints or pounds. but. the unit of heat, the standard measure of that phenomenon. has been agreed upon by those whose business it is to philoso- phize on that subject to be that quan- tity which can raise pound of water one degree. Now. to turn a pound of water into pound of steam it requires 967 of these units of heat-that is to say. if we boil a pound of water until 1t all goes away in steam we shall have used in doing so quantity of heat which would have raised 967 pounds of water one degree higher in tempera- ture.

Rabbit Shooting In France.

Le Sport is answerable for much exhibition of humor on the part of a nation like ours, where killing for fun Is brought to perfection. and the story of the Englishman who went rabbit shooting with two Frenchmen in Nor mandy may or may not be true. They set out. eager for the chase; they sight ed a rabbit, and up went the English mans gun to his shoulder. No. no; do not shootv' cried his companions. ''That Is Mimi. We never shoot at Mimi" The Englishman. greatly won dering, desisted. A second rabbit crossed their path. He aimed again and was again deferred from shooting ''That is the adorable Lulu,' they pointed out. We never shoot at Lulu" Naturally, when third rabbit darted up, the Englishman made no effort to kill 1t. much to the distress of his com panions. Shoot. shootr' they cried wildly. That is Alphonse. We al- ways shoot at Alphonse." e."-London Chronicle.
