SAVE YOUR STOMACH. The condition of the stomach bears the same relation to one’s health that the foundation does to the house. Without a good foundation, the house cannot stand. Without a good stom- ach, the health must fail. Digestion will make and indigestion will break the walls of the .stomach. Perfect digestion will build and sus- tain, while poor digestion will tear down health’s foundation. The reason for this'is that the stomach must re- ceive and prepare all food for entrance into the blood, and from the blood into the tissues. 1f the stomach is not in perfect condition, the nourishment will be imperfectly prepared—imper- fectly digested, and, instead of the health-giving and strength-increasing properties of the food being contrib- uted to the tissues, stagnation ensues, the blood becomes impoverished and poison is forced into the system. The weakest organ of the body gets most of this poison, because, for want organs, which is usually a very import- ant one. It may be the lungs, liver, kidneys or heart, and in the case of women, it may be one of the organs peculiar to their sex. Such symptoms as shortness of breath, coated tongue, pains in the stomach, palpitation of the heart, fullness after eating, bowel symptoms of indigestion. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure relieves every symptom of indigestion and restores the stomach and digestive organs to perfect health. This famous remedy has effected a permanent cure in thou- sands of cases of chronic dyspepsia, as dustrious, thrifty people, charging them with taking the bread out of his children’s mouths. Such fellows usual- ly bite off a big chew of tobacco about every five minutes in the day, and when they have any money, they usually put a lot of booze into their own mouths and let their wives and children go hungry and ragged. No bread is taken out ot children’s mouths where worthless fathers fail to put bread in. There are a whole lot of fellows in this vicinity right now that are loitering about waiting for some- thing to “turn up,” instead of striking out, seeking employment and turning something up themselves, as God in- tended when He gave them good health and strong bodies. Instead of “chewing the rag” and idling away their time, charging others with taking their bread away from them, they ought to read the 25th verse of the 27th Psalm, and begin to do a little thinking and acting. For their benefit” we will quote it: “I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous for- saken, nor his seed begging bread.” elie reer DOMESTIC TROUBLES. 1t is exceptional to find a family where there are no domestic ruptures occasionally, but these can be lessened by having Dr King’s New Life Pills around.

Russia’s contribution in money alone tothe war waste of the year was $364, 000,000. Waste by fire in the United States and Canada amounted to $245,000,000. We lead the world in the production of great ash heaps where homes and busi- ness blocks have previously stood.

When it reached a point near Glencoe, about 10 miles east of Sand Patch, it left the track, completely demolishing the en- gine and about forty cars of coal and mixed merchandise, piling the debris in a heap about 60 feet high. Fireman George E. Cannon, and four tramps‘ who were stealing a ride, were killed and mangled in a most horrible manner. The fireman was a resident of Johnstown, where he is survived by a young wife and one child. The train had stopped in the tunnel on account of the bursting of an air within the reach of all.

Riis is a story teller of merit, and Chief Delaney delights in a comical yarn. Riis was telling the chief of his ex- perience in New York when Theodore Roosevelt was a police commissioner there. Roosevelt had filed charges against a sergeant for drunkenness on duty, and the “copper” was before the board for a bearing. The sergeant appeared with eleven children, all dressed for the occasion. The sergeant remained impassive while the charges were being made against him, but finally it came time for him to give his side of the case. “Mr. Roosevelt,” he said, *‘these are my children.
