You can cure dyspepsia, indigestion, sour or weak stomach, or in fact any form of stomach trouble if you will take Kodol occasionally—just at the times when you need it. Kodol does not have to be taken all the time. Ordinarily you only take Kodol now and then, because it completely digests all the food you eat, and after a few days or a week or so, the stomach can digest the food without the aid of Kodol. Then you don’t need Kodol any longer. Try it today on our guarantee. We know what it will do for you. Sold by B. E. Williams.

A Wolf Drive. A party of Rolling Prairie hunters and a number of Island farmers with eix fox-hounds went wolf hunting in the tamarack swamp two miles southwest of Walkerton Thursday morning. Two wolves were started and several shots were fired but only one wolf was killed, Mr. Bailey of Rolling Prairie firing the shot that finally killed it. It wae a young wolf weighing 25 pounds The party went to the big marsh near Lock wood’s place where they started another wolf from the marsh but the animal was too far awey for the hunters to get a shot at it. About 10 o’clock a party of hunters from South Bend arrived on ths scene after the wolf was shot and the eport wae over, As the ground was too dry for the doge to successfully^ trail the wolves the hunt was called off at noon. This is the sixth wolf killed within four miles of Walkerton this season. There were 25 hunters in the drive. Grover C. Sp; hr of this city has pur chased the drug etore formerly owned by B. E.

The most beautiful of all precious stones Is said to be the red diamond, notwithstanding the fact that we can scarcely conceive of a gem being more lovely than the translucent white diamond. Only a few of the red stones are known to exist, one of which, weighing 10 carats, now in possession of the Emperor of Russia, was bought by Emperor l’aul for SIOO,OOO. Dark blue diamonds, differing from sapphires only in quality and in the beautiful play of colors peculiar to the diamond, are handsome gems. Besides the Bismarck and Hoik* diamonds, there are only two known specimens in the world that can properly be called blue diamonds. Black and rose wlored diamonds are also rare; while the green varieties are not so uncommon. The grass green is scarce, and when It does occur, it is more brilliant than the finest emerald. 3'here are several varieties of green tinted diamonds at the Museum of Natural History at Paris: but the best known specimen is at Dresden, which is considered one of the five paragons of its kind. ’The museum of Vienna contains the most perfect collection of colored diamonds. It is in the form of a bouquet, the different flowers being composed of diamonds of the same color as the flowers represented. These stones were collected by Vergil von Helmreicher. a Tyrolese, who had passed many years in Brazil among the diamond mines. In early times the diamond was worn rough, or polished only on its upper surface. It was in this form that it was used to decorate temples, goblets, and crowns. Such stones are still esteemed far above others by the natives of India. Among historic diamonds, one, the "Pigott,” has gone out of existence. The story of its destruction is a tragic one. It was said to be worth $200,IW. The diamond came into the possession of All Pasha, who always wore it in a green silk purse attached to his girdle. He was wearing it when he was wounded by Resind Pasha. Knowing that his wound was mortal, he immediately retired to his divan, gave orders that his favorite wife should be poisoned, and then delivered • the diamond to C’apt. D’Anglas, with the order that it should be crushed to powder in his presence. His command was obeyed, and the beautiful gem was utterly destroyed. Lem Haller of Ligonier died from wounds received by being accidentally shot while out hunting. He wae shot through the lunge. Sid Ewing, barber, one door west of Hotel Starr.

I I i i yq Yours for Honest Merchandise, | HYMAN & DUPLER | CROUP THERE IS NOTHING that strikes terror to the hearts of parents more than to be awakened in the night by the ringing cough which accompanies y an attack of croup. The child may retire with nothing but a slight cold and a few hours later the family be aroused by the ominous symptoms. Every home where | there are small children should be prepared for these sud- t • den attacks, as prompt treatment is necessary. Do not experiment with remedies of doubtful value, but get CHAMBERLAIN’S COUGH REMEDY that has been in use fur nearly forty years and never known to fail.

Mr. Homer Krohn, of Lisbon, lowa, in a letter to the manufacturers of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy praises this medicine for what it has done for his children. -He says: “It has not only saved them once but many a time. Only two weeks ago my boy had the croup so bad in the night that had it not been tor having a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy in the house he would have choked before a doctor could have gotten to the house. It is a medicine that no one should be without at any time.’’ It is pleasant t® take and many children like it.

Attacks of croup are most likely to occur during the early winter months, and every family with young children should be prepared for it. Keep a bottle of CHAMBERLAIN S COUGH REMEDY in your home. It only costs a quarter, £ large size 50 cents. Your druggist sells it. i ur jcut oy uiuvtr C >p<ihr, Druggist

“We guarantee every bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy,” says W. M. Parish, Palmerston, I Ontario. “Out of the many bottles | sold last winter not one was re- H turned. We recommend it espe- H daily for children with croup.’’ a Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is famous for its prompt cures of & coughs, colds and croup. When d given as soon as the child becomes k hoarse an attack, of croup may be | averted. This medicine is entirely K free from narcotics or injurious sub- N stances of any kind and may be 6 given to the little ones with abso- | lute safety.
