In fact you can not cure dyspepsia or indigestion that way, but rather you must add strength to the weak stomach by taking something ‘hat will digest the food which the stomach can not digest. Kodol is the only thing known today that wili do this, for Kodol is made of natural digestive juices found in a healthy stomach, and it digests all food completely. Kodol is pleasant to take, and is guaranteed to give relief in any case of stomach trouble. Sold by Red Cross Drug Store. SPLINTERS. Good order—Religious organization.

Bobbs—Did you say that young spendthrift was the executor of his father's estate? Dobbs —He is distributing the money, isn't he? The man who prays one way and pulls another will not make much progress. Wills—Do you really think that silence is golden? Bills—Yes, when you are paid to keep quiet. The clothes make some men look like thirty cents when they go to pay the bill. Benners —You did not seem to take kindly to that boarding house? Jenners—No, there were ten dentists in the same block. MEDITATIONS OF A SPINSTER. A sleeping car is like love—nice to make you enjoy life after you get out of it. It’s fairly safe to be nl<4 to a married man—as long as there are plenty of people around. One great relief just now in the heated season is the way you have no duty to go to church because the minister is awajj on his vacation. Kissing in the dark is more enjoyable to a girl because then she does not have to pump up some sort of a blush and an awfully embarrassed look. More than one man believes that his argument is unanswerable—when all the time It is the same sort of thing you hear when a poor brass band commences to perform. Ou Milk. “If John D. Rockefeller, In his forthcoming biography, gives his humor rein, the work will be a masterpiece,” said a New York lawyer. “Mr. Rockefeller’s quiet humor is a« telling as Mark Twain’s or Arthur Brisbane’s. I heard him, one summer night in Cleveland, describe the boarders’ fare of a New England farmhouse. He told about the steak, which was beaten tender with a club, the blows shaking the building. Then he told about the milk. “‘The farmer tock no ice,’ he said. ‘He hung his milk in pails down the well to keep it cool. But he used too much rope.’ ”

It was great nonsense, that tirade, but the little poet was eloquent, and his younger auditors were visibly Impressed.

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 sudden attacks, as prompt treatment is necessary. Do not experiment with remedies of doubtful value, but get CHAMBERLAIN’S iCOUGH REMEDY that has been in use for 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 I what it has done for his children. ; E ■ He says: “It has not only saved K them once but many a time. Only two weeks ago my boy had the r croup so bad in the' niglit that had | it not been for having a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy in the house he would have choked before a doctor could have gotten K to the house. It is a medicine that j no one should be without at any , K time.’’ It is pleasant tw take and g 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. Tor bale by Grover C Jtpahr, Druggist IMITATION TYPEWRITTEN CIRCULARS Printed at the Independent office.

“We guarantee every bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy,” says W. M. Parish, Palmerston, Ontario. “Out of the many bottles sold last winter not one was returned. We recommend it especially for children with croup.” Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is famous for its prompt cures of coughs, colds and croup. When given as soon as the child becomes hoarse an attack of croup may be averted. This medicine is entirely free from narcotics or injurious substances of any kind and may be given to the little ones with absolute safety.
