THE WASTES OF THE BODY. Every seven days the blood, muscles and bones of a man of average size loses two pounds of wornout tissue. This waste cannot be replenished and the health and strength kept up without perfect digestion When the stomnch and diges tive organs fail to perform their functions, the strength lets down, health gives away, and disease sets up. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure enables the stomach and digestive organs to digest and assimilate all of the wholesome tood that may be eaten into the kind of blood that rebuilds the tissue and protects the health and strength of the mind and body.

The burning to death of old Uncle Billy Sanders last Satur day was very pathetic. The old gentleman was paralyzed and lived with his son-in-law, Mr. Wash Speaks. All of the family except the old man were in the field at work, having no fire in the house, when they noticed smoke coming from the building. when they got to the house it was too far gone to save an-- thingand the old man was burned to death, only a little of his char red body being recovered. It i supposed the old man struck a match for something, and this accidentally set fire to his cloth ing and the house.
