You want of the food you need
Kodo1 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
1t is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat a sufiic-
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 win
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol d.

Mankato people have an exceptional
pleasure in store for them in the privi-
lege of listening to Dr.. j. M. McCor-
mick OF Bowling Green, Kentucky, the
national organizer of the medical pro-
fession, who comes to this city next
month. He visits the several states
and territories, meets the physicians
in the different localities, lectures to
them and in the evening delivers a
lecture to the general public on the
preservation of health, care of chill
dren and other subjects of vital in
terest to the general public.
DR.. Mccormick will visit Minnesota
in November and will be in Mankato
November TO- On the afternoon of
that date he will deliver a lecture to
the physicians and in the evening to
the general public at the Presbyterian
church. These lectures are free to
all. Last winter DR.. Mccormick spoke
before the House of Representatives
who were SO much pleased with his
address that they asked him to speak
before joint session of the house
and senate. In the evening of the
same day DR.. Mccormick spoke to a

! who were highly instructed and en-
tertained.

In "The Evolution of Train Rob-
ber," Edgar Beecher Bronson in the
American Magazine, claims that one
of the cowboys most notable and ad-
mirable traits has not been empha-
sized so much as it deserves, and that
is his inherent reverence and respect
for womanhood. Says Mr.. Bronson:
mo real cowboy ever willfully in
suited any woman, or lost a chance to
resent any insult offered by another.
Indeed, it was an article of the cowboy
creed never broken, and all well knew
it. So it happened that when one day
cowboy, in crowded car of a
train held up by bandits, was APP
pealed to by an eastern lady in the
next seat:
"'Heavens! I have four hundred
dollars in my purse cannot afford to
lose; please, sir, tell me how l can
hide it,
Instantly came the answer:
"'Shucks, miss, stick it in yer sock;

up fight, but nary one O. them has
nerve enough to 60 into womans
sock after her bank roll"

on the fame of his brother. Frank A.
Day and the other democratic powers
that be, know the people of Minnesota
would not back Fred w. johnson SIM
ply because he was o. brother of John
A. johnson. The fact that he is a
brother, would, of course, help him in
his political career, but Mr.. Day and
other democratic leaders really believe
Fred w. Johnson could make politi-
cal success on his own merits.
Johnson Is Eloquent.
In the first place, they argue, Fred
w. johnson is an eloquent speaker. He
has made some political speeches, but
the speeches for which he is best
known were made before the Mime
sofa State Editorial association. He
was then editor of the New Ulm Re-
view. John Lind knew Fred w. John
in the young man who had assumed
charge of The New Ulm Review at the
age of eighteen. When John Lind ran.
for governor, Fred w. Johnson took
the stump for his fellow townsman,
and when John Lind was elected gov
ernor, Fred w. Johnson was appointed
state librarian. He was librarian two
years, and while he was librarian he
disposed of his interest in Tue New
Ulm Review.
When John Lind was defeated for
governor in his second campaign, Fred
w. johnson went back to New Ulm
and assumed the management of a
MOTEL which had been left to his wife
by her father.
Resemblance Is Striking
Fred w. Johnson is thirty eight
years old. He was born in ST. Peter,
and the resemblance between the two
brothers is striking. Fred w. john
son looks now just as John A. john
son looked ten years ago.
There was close bond of affection
between John A. Johnson and Fred w.
Johnson, and it is said Fred w. John
son had more to do with his brothers
political career than is generally
known. He was in close touch with the
situation at the capitol, but he kept
in the background, strivin gonly for
honors for his brother.
The democratic leaders in Minnesota
are laying low and saying little, but
the name johnson is still an important
factor in their plans.

5. 5. McCarver, a we'll known horse
 man, who formerly lived in this city but is now in the stock business at FOrdyce, Dallas county, was arrested yesterday by City Marshal John Ran kin at Fordyce on charge of embez- clement and brought to Pine Bluff.
 The information was filed against McCarver in Magistrate l.. E. Cheeks court in this city by Deputy Prosecut- ing Attorney Creed Caldwell. at the instance of Mrs. Jack Wanza. She charges that McCarver made way with $500 to $900 of her money After 3e. ing returned here, McCarver's bond was fixed at $1,OOO by Magistrate Cheek and City Marshal Rankin was permitted to accompany McCarver back to Fordyce, where he declares he can make bond in short while. He tried to get signers to his bond here but failed
 The arrest of McCarver is occas- toned by pathetic story which was related to Deputy Prosecuting Attor- ney Creed Caldwell by Mrs. Wanza, whose husband died ill this city sev- eial months ago. Wanza and Me Carver were intimate friends and be- fore Wanza died he called McCarver to his bedside and told him to take charge of all of his stock. to sell same and pay Bruce Jones, of For dyce, a few hundred dollars which Wanza owed him. After ttiis was done Wanza told McCarver, acc slding to his widows story, to give his wife and three small children the balance. The friendship between Wanza at his death and McCasver is sall to, have been so strong that Mrs. Wanza per mitted McCarver to carry out her husbands instructions in detail after his death.
 McCarver, it is charged, sold the stock and paid the Fordyce man what Wanza owed him Then Mrs Wanza asked for the balance and she claims that McCarver has been de- laying payment of the money from time to time. On one occasion she says she went to Fordyce to get the money and McCarver gave her $25 and told her he would settle with her the next day. He disappeared and she located him at Warren, Ark. She followed him to that place, she says, and he gave her $2.5O, again prom ising to give the full amount the next day. Again he disappeared and then she returned to Pine Bluff and asked for a warrant for his arrest Mrs. Wanza says she and her children are destitute.

~ . WHEN IS A CHICKEN
 AN ANIMAL /?
K. C. Williams, Agent for the Pacific Express Company. Pleads Guilty to Neglecting. Chickens and Is Fined.

E. G. Williams, local agent for the Pacific Express Company, was arrest ed yesterday at the instance of Hu- mane Officer A. l.. Cason on a charge of cruelty to animals-if chickens are animals Williams appeared in Mag istrate J. P. knox's court later and offered plea of guilty to the charge and was fined $1 and costs, which amount to $16.40. The humane officer charged that Williams left a crate of chickens in the express office from Saturday till Monday noon, without food or water. After Deputy Prose- cutting Attorney Creed Caldwell filed the information against Williams and he was served with the warrant, he decided to plead guilty, stating that he was guilty of neglecting the fowls. A rush of business caused him to overlook feeding and watering the chickens.
 The question arose as to whether chickens were animals and some law yers argued that Williams could not be fined under the humane law. Dep- uty Prosecuting Attorney Caldwell cited legal authority which tended to show that, the Arkansas legislature had made it plain that the term ami nal in the humane act must be con- strued to mean every living creature.
