Indigestion Causes Catarrh of the Stomach. For many years it has been supposed that Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re- peated attacks of indigestion inflames the mucous membranes lining the stomach and exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus- {ng the glands to secrete mucin instead of the juices of natural digestion. This is called Catarrh of the Stomach. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure relieves all inflammation of the mucous membranes lining the stomach, protects the nerves. and cures bad breath, sour risings, a sense of fullness after eating, indigestion, dyspepsia and all stomach troubles.

What have we here?’ “It is the United States sun rising on a farm scene in New Jersey. The grass sparkles with dew, the songs of the lark gladden the heart. and the cows in the barnyard chew their cuds in peace as they wait for the dairy maid to appear with her pail.” “Is that the dairy maid - tripping down the path toward the bars?” “Oh, no. That is an artist from New York, who has arranged to spend two weeks on the farm to study animal life according to nature. He is going to paint a picture with sev- en or eight cows in it, and he will call it, ‘The Morning Mild-Stool; or, How We Worked the Racket on the Innocent Cows.” It has been his am- bition for years, but he just got around to it.” “But why does he carry a pail and a stool?” “Oh, he's going to begin on the ground floor and work his way up. He never milked a cow, but always thought it would be so romantic. He will carefully study the hind legs of Bossy as he fills the pail. If any critic gives him a roasting on his painted cows he can get back at him by saying he has milked a cow and ought to know which way her legs crook.” «He seems undecided which cow to begin on.” “Jle’s studying attitudes and wish- ing he had his sketch book at hand. There is far more grace in a cow than he ever dreamed of. Now he approaches a COW and takes a grace- ful position on the milk stool. The cow looks at him queerly, as you will observe, but that's because she's far- row and being fattened for market. It’s about a year since any one sat down within reach of her hoof.” “I can no longer see the artist, for the cloud of dust. Is he still there?” “Oh, no. He left ten minutes ago and brought up against the old wag- on box under the shed. He has a corn cultivator down the back of his neck, an old fanning mill jabbed into his ear, and his legs are tangled up with a patent drag and a potato planter. The kick wow't kill him though. He will continue lying there until fully rested, and then go to the house to arringe his canvas.” «Will he ever he a blithe and hap- py artist again?” “Oh, ves, but not in the cow line. He will probably turn to mules or hogs and give cows the go-by, and in due time he will be able to get the porous plasters off his back and call up nerve enough to approach a cow within half a mile without being sea- sick in the knees.”—Deiroit Free Press. Our Friend the Pirate. The piraie laughed gleefully as he hoisted the Jolly Roger. “Ha! ha! ha!” he cachinnated. “What's the matter?’ we nervous- ly inquired, wondering meanwhile whether he had just hatched some fiendish and diabolical plot regard- ing our immediate future. “Ha! ha! ha!” he repeated. «Mabe he's an Englishman and has just seen the point of a joke that he heard on his last cruise,” mut- tered Jabez, (Jabez would crack Old Nick himself over the pate with a joke.) “Ha! ha! ha!’ the pirate continued. “What is it?’ we begged. “See that Jolly Roger?’ inquired the pirate. “That belongs to my mother-in-law. It's (ha! ha!) her petti- coat. And she can’t come out of her cabin till the cruise is over because it's the only one she has on board.” Whereupon we all laughed bhoister- ously, although we noticed that our friend the pirate blanched fearfully whenever he chanced to hear the cut raged cries of the old lady rising shrilly above the pealing ebullitions of our mirth. “The Licht That Failed.” She—They don’t seem happy togeth- er.

As soon as we got back we naturally kissed her a few. ‘I wonder why it is,” mused Mehi- { tabel, “I wonder why is that all chaps shut their eyes when they take a good kiss.” We are still thinking.

Cray, J.P., of Oakville, Ind., writes:— “Most of the time for ten years I was confined to my bed with some disease of the kidneys. It was so severe I could not move part of the time. I consulted the best medical skill available, but got no relief until FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE was recommended to me. 1 am grateful to be able to say that it entirely cured me.” Refuse Substitutes A Merchant Cured After Having Glven Up Hope. Foley & Co., Chicago. Gentlemen:—I was afflicted with Kidney and _ Bladder trouble for six years and had tried numerous preparations without getting any relief and had given up hope of ever being cured when FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE was recommended to me. After using one bottle I could feel the effect of it, and after taking six fifty-cent bottles, I was cured of Kidney and Bladder trouble and have not felt so well for the past twenty years and I owe it to FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE.
