You don’t have to diet to cure dyspepsia. In fact you can not cure dyspepsia or indigestion that way, but rather you must add strength to the weak stomach by taking something that 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.

BUSINESS VIEW GOOD. Market Conditions Sound, Says Henry Clews, New York Banker. There is every reason to take a cheerful view of the business future. All the known forces are towards recuperation. As a result of recent house cleaning the financial situation is exceptionally sound, and there is nothing in sight, to prevent an unusually prompt return of business to the normal, at least in volume if not in profit. Our railroads are exceptionally well situated; some croak1 ing managers to the contrary. The outlook for industrials is also more satisfactory, The iron industry is still a good trade barometer; and, if the orders received by the United States Steel Corporation are any indication, the outlook is certainly promising. Orders for about 1,000,000 tons of iron valued at ■ $25,000,000 to $30,000,000 were placed in । October; the sales of copper were unusually large; a decided improvement has taken place in the cotton goods trade; the grocery trade is more active, and the general revival of enterprise is shown in the large increase of new incorporations. Sport For the Deer Hunters. Judging from the number of carcasses of deer being shipped through Elkhart the last few days, hunters in northern Michigan and other points are having good luck.

TESTED AND PROVEN. There is a Heap of Solace in Being Able to Depend Upon a WellEarned Reputation. For months Walkerton readers have seen the constant expression of praise for Doan’s Kidney Pills, and read about the good work they have done in this locality. Not another remedy ever produced such convincing proof of merit. Fred Kabelin, painter, living at 116 Allen St., LaPorte, Ind., says: “I am as firm a believer in Doan’s Kidney Pills today as I was when I gave my first statement for publication in our local papers about six years ago. As then stated, my kidneys had been badly deranged, Doan’s Kidney Pills gave me prompt and positive relief, and 1 have told many persons what they did ’ for me. I am glad at all times to let others know the value of this medicine.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo. New York, sole agents for the United States.

Amount of “Que< r” Money In Ci row < Intion Gr owing Lexs. According to th s records of the government secret ser vice and of the Bankers’ Association tl ie amount of “queer" money in clrculat on has lieen growing less and less in p •pportion to the total for the past twen y years. The expert counterfeiters, mt n who were artists at the practice of their dubious profession, have been di iven out of it by ths Increasing risks a id the relentless pur- j suit which the £ ovemment and the banks have practl ced toward them. At the present time most of the men en- | gaged in this o< ■cupation are "cheap skates," who won Id not have been recognized by the o Id-time leaders who reckoned their pr jflts by tens of thousands of dollars. The reason for the virtual disappearance of what on x* was recognized ns the top rank of the various criminal pursuits is due pt irtly to the relentlessness with which I ’nde Sam hunts down every ounterfei :ing enterprise, and | comes partly fro n the increasing use ■ of banks. Almost everybody maintains ' some kind of a k ink account, and this is the greatest pr Mection luminst counterfeiters, for it is in passing under the scrutiny of tWe money-handling experts in the banTs that most spurious money is detec:-^Uand retired from circulation.

The second, the more devious, is that ii i which the chief end is robbing gold ind the larger silver coins of a part o; 1 their value and then putting them into circulation again.
