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.

O Connor Sarah DeArmitt Bendell was born in Bedford county, Pa., August 22, 1832, and died in Walkerton, Nov. 6, 19G8, aged 76 years, two months and fourteen dajs. She was married to Josiah Mansell, Dec. 1, 1869, and was left a widow June 3,1892 She married, as her second husband, Musgrove E. O’Connor July 15, 1903, who survives to mourn her loss. She left no children or other relatives to mourn; however, she was esteemed almost as a mother by Mr, and Mrs T. A Fraterof Walkerton, Mrs. Frater having been reared by her from girlhood. Mrs. O’Connor at about the age of 18 years became a Christian and joined the Baptist church in the city of Pitts burgh, Pa., in which church she lived a consistent member until a few years ago, when, there being no Baptist organiza tion in the community, she united with the First Presbyterian church of Walk erton. When death came she was ready and died trusting in Jesus as her own personal Savior. Owing to the illness of her aged husband the funeral services were held from her late home, conducted by the writer, with music by members of the Presbyterian choir.

In her demise the community has lost a good citizen, the church a consistent member, and her friends a reciprocal and loving friend. U. 11. Kiracoee. marriages. Wolfe Floyd.

A mining journal published at Scranton has been calling attention to the curious fact that in coal mining communities there is a marked deficiency in the mortality from tuberculosis as compared with other localities. This is a phenomenon that lias also been observed in Great Britain, and attention has been drawn to it by B. 11. Twalte. According to Mr. Thwaite, the effects noted may be due to the physiological effects of carbon monoxide, for he finds that men engaged about blast and gas producers are peculiarly free from tuberculous trouble.

Sitting on the beach with the sun shining on your book. Doing line needlework in the dim light of a house shaded for coolness. Yachting or canoeing without a broad-brimmed hat or veil as a protection from tlie glare. Silting so the shifting light and tlie shadow of leaves from the porch or arbor play irregularly on the page. Not protecting the eyes with glasses or thick veil when motoring on a dusty road or when traveling witli open windows. These may seem trifles not worth minding, but they often lay up a store of eye strains that give trouble for years.—Philadelphia Press.
