You need sufficient amount Of

this you need to fully digest 1t.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach If
1t is weak.
You must eat in order to live and

You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat suffic-
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.

AFTER ERUPTION

Teneriffe, Jan. 30.-Like all the Ca
naries, Azores and Madeiras, the
island of Teneriffe is volcano stand
ing on a narrow base in the midst Oh
a sea which is very deep. Whether
these islands grew to their present
elevation from tie sea bottom by vol
canic action, whether raised above the
sea by elevation of the bottom or
whether they are the remains of the
mythical continent of Atlantis can
not be discussed here. We have to
do with the present and with Tene-
rife, and Teneriffe at present is one
of the earth's most favored regions,
whatever may have been its past.
Indeed, it seems almost an en-
chanted island, with its canaries, its
camels and its dragon trees, and with
the added charm that any one may
dwell in safety and yet enjoy those
little thrills of excitement incident to
life on a volcano. The curious old
draron trees tell of an age-long
growth, and the great gray lava

The activity which followed THIS
period was of a different order, the
materials being less fusible and teno-
ing to produce a more explosive type
of eruption and thus to build the pres
ent sleeper cone upon the old crater
floor. In it's turn the crater OF this
newer cone has become filled ana
overtopped by the sharply pointed ana
beautifully symmetrical conelet which
forms the celebrated Peak OF rene
rife, piercing the clouds to height OF
1912 feet above the sea and locally
known as "El Pico de Teide' or
"Cheyde," the summit of he'll.
In order to understand the present
mode of action of this volcano 1t Will
be we'll to compare it for moment
with some other well known types.
At Stromboli-another island volcano
of much smaller dimensions, the erup-
lions take place entirely from the CEN
trail conduit of the volcano, and when
lava is elected it flows over the
crater edge down a deep slope into
the sea. The great eruptions of We

streams on which they stand speak
more eloquently still of the time
comedy, yet ever and anon little curl
of whitest vapor rising from the lofty
peak into the blue above tells us that
this portion of the world, though old
with all the rest is also young in that
it lives while other parts are dead.
But it is restricted life. The
form OF this and many other volca-
noes of today shows very clearly that
in a bygone age their activity was I'M
mensely greater than it is at present.
An ancient crater of this mountain is
clearly to be seen at an altitude OF
1000 feet above sea level. 1t has
diameter of no less than seven miles,
and the remaining walls of this great
basin still rise in places to a height
of nearly 1000 feet above the crater
floor, while in other directions they
have been broken down and carried
away by subsequent outbreaks. From
such a crater as this 1t is not difficult
to imagine the degree of volcanism OF
its day.

the guardianship and in the possession
of Sir Richard Wildfang.
So little was her face the index oil

as acute a reader of faces as any OF
the habitabie globe, was puzzled and
perplexed by it.
Had she forgotten that moonlight
night when he had thwarted the fool
ish idiot of a sculptor for so SiI
Richard always designated Louis Eel
ton in his thoughts-or did she still
remember and cherish a secret regre,

If Sir Richard could not decipheI
the calm, self-possessed face of his
bride-elect, all the rest of the world
must of necessity fail.
AS for Sir Richard himself, he was
calmer. more placidly self-satisfied
than ever.
Around him, in the commercial
world, weIl-known firms and houses
once of high repute tottered and fell
but the house of Wildfang & Co. stood
mistaken, looking down like a colos-
sus or a sphinx at the crumbling
ruins of fair fame and high names
which were strewn at its feet.
The world looked on and bowed to
his wisdom and sagacity with more
admiring suppleness than ever, and
new companies toiled, schemed and
diplomatized to obtain his name upon
their prospectuses.
Perhaps Mr. Dewlap, the conf1den-
tial manager, could have undeceived
the world, and stripped the feathers
from the golden owl, but Mr.. Dewlap
was the discreetest of his class and
looked on with closed lips and medi-
tative eyes, while he watched the
world fall down at the feet of his
master and worship.
There were some keen sighted men
who said that the immense weight of
business which Sir Richards shout
ders supported was telling upon him,
hat his face had at times a slightly
weary and Oyer-watchful expression,
and that the smile, which, ever as of
old, sat upon his face was as a sun
beam upon ice On a cold January
morning, was a trifle, a trifie only,
overstrained
But what wonder if it should be

the little signs of thought only added
to his popularity.

EMBARRASSING FOR HER.

ppincott's.-A Milwaukee man
and his wife recently received cali
from an old friend whom they had
not seen for years. Just before the
three sat down to a little supper In
the German style, the wife. Selling
q favorable opportunity, whispered
to her husband:
1--WE have only three bottles of
beer in the house-just enogh to go
around. Don't ask him to have more"
Very we'll" answered the hus-
band, who CHANGED to be thinking of
something else at the time.
Half an hour later the host. to his
Wife's CONSERVATION, asked the guest
to take more beer. The invitation
was politely declined, but still the
host did not desist A dozen times
the caller was urged to drink; ooz-
en- times he firmly refused.
When he had departed the wife
took her husband to task. what on
earth made you persist so? Didn't
4 tell you there were only three bot
ties? Why did you insist upon his
having more beer, more beer, more
beer?"
"Mercy!' exclaifed the husband. Il
forgot entirely"
But continued the wife, "whv
did you suppose l was kicking Won
under the tab1e?"

husband, you didn't kick merr

suvius, on the contrary, are usually
about equally divided between the
central crater and some side opening
which often forms far down on the
TANKS of the mountain, the lava flow
ing from the side vents and the ex-
plosive effects occurring at the cen.
trail crater.
In the case of Etna we have a
nearer approach to the Teneriffe vol
cano in that both the lava flows and
the explosive effects of an eruption
occur as a rule on the mountain side,
while the central crater, although par
ticipating in the eruption, plays a
minor part. Finally, at Ieneriffe we
find a volcano with its central con-
duit closed and all the eruptive et-
fects occurring scientifically upon the
mountain side.
In view of what has been said it
will not surprise the reader to learn
that the spot where the recent erup-
ton occurred is nearly seven miles
from the summit of the mountain and
1000 feet below it.

smile: Never sign paper without

Mrs. Newton pouted.

Sir Richard carefully blotted the

He might have told OF sleepless
nights, of measured pacmgs across the
luxurious bedchamber, of startings
of the violent groans with which his
master-half asleep-greeted his ap-
pearance one morning, and the wild
words: a :
Take the child away"
But the valet was as discreet as MI.
Dewlap, took his wages, dressed his
master to perfection, and-most valu
able service of all-held his tongue.
And Louis Felton-where was he?
Ask it of the wilds of Corsica, the
plains of Nevada, of any OF the out
of the way places of the uncivllized
globe, and they could answer better
than the fashionable world of London
which knew him not when he was III

The man stephen Hargrave had al
so disappeared.
There was a report in Hawthorne
that a face and form like his had Deen
seen passing through the village on a
cold, sleety night; but the report was
only partially credited, and the ma
iority of the good, simple folks firmly
believed that he had delivered him
self up to the malignant power to
whom, in pursuance of long-stand1ng
treaty, he was due; and they would
have let him slip from their memory

So the spring wore on to summer,
and one morning Mrs. Newton, enter

flooded with the June sunlight, sighed
mentally, and, glancing at Stella, who
sat toying with a scrap of toast too
small to satisfy the hunger of Lon
don sparrow, said:
"The heat is uncomfortable already;
what will it be in another month S
time? I really think we'd better go

Stella looked up, and across her
face there flashed a sharp spasm OF
pain, just such feeting look as
touches the face of a man who has

She had taken her seat at little
distance, and was sitting, looking out

And he went toward the window
with his hand outstretched.
Mrs. Newton turned to go out OF
the room, not to be in the way as she
would have expressed it, but their
parting was no more affectionate than
their meeting; indeed, it was not their
last word, for Sir Richard, as he
shook hands with Mrs. Newton, said,
suddenly, and as if he had barely re-
membered it: by the way, l have
come-like tax collector-for a
short call on business. | want your

Mrs. Newton smiled to express her
willingness to sign anything in obedi

"A memorandum mere form

business-dear Stella's. l am afraid

though, that Stella's income will be

relapsed into her cold impassibility.

Mrs. Newton.
Dear Richard, you are always so
thoughtful. Stella, do you hear what
Sir Richard has done for you?"
No" said Stella, rising, and ad-
vancing to the table, Sir -.lchard ex-
plained-if the broken statement
could be called an explanation-over
again, and Stella smiled YEARLY.
She hated the money, every doite of
