While the armored train has proved its use

also a capital affair.
If the stomach performs its functions act
ively and regularly , the food of uliicli it is the
receptacle is transformed into blood of a
nourishing quality , which furnishes vigor anil
warmth to the whole body. Herbine gives
tone to the btomach and promotes digestion
and assimilation. Price , 50 cents. A.Mc.Millen.
The wall paper trust has gone to the wall.
Too much water in its dope.
Unless food is digested quickly it will fer
ment and irritate the btomach. After each
meal take a teaspoonful of Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure. It digests what you eat and will allow
you to eat all you need of what you like. It
never fails to cure the worst cases of dyspep
sia. It is pleasant to take. D. W. Loar.
According to the present indications it is
going to be considerable of a job to keep that
' 'open door" to China from slamming shut.
You feel better at once after using Herbine ,
you enjoy your food more , and you get more
nourishment and invigorating force out of
what you eat. Hence Herbine makes you
strong , vigorous and cheerful. Price , 50 cents.
