I have been selling Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
since 1897 and have never had a single com-
plaint. As it has proven so successful and is
decidedly the best stomach medicine I ever
handled, I decided to try it myself, and can
state truthfully that it has done me more good
than anything 1 ever used for Indigestion and
Dyspepsia. J. R. RY AN, Merchant & County Treas.
I have used Kodol Dyspepsia Cure for a period of
nine months, using in all four bpttles, and 1 can say
that it has cured me of Dyspepsia completely.
J. O. SETHER, Crookston, Minn.WC IMF will not a^ow one to eat enough to keep up
JL ^=#1 M 11 11 health and strength. A weak stomach can not
digest enough food to keep up the strength even if it were eaten. Do not*try to cure dyspepsia or any
other stomach trouble by dieting. Satisfactory work of muscle or brain can not be performed on half
rations. A variety of food and plenty of it is necessary.
KODOL DYSPEPSIA CURE
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is-the remedy that will let you eat all you need—or want. If you will use Kodol you will soon be able to eat any and all kinds
of food. Kodol is the only digestant or combination of digestants that will digest a// classes of food. When you take Kodol everything you eat tastes
good, and every bit of the nutriment that it contains is assimilated and appropriated by the blood and tissues. Did
you ever hear of a man or woman being sick or weak who could eat heartily and who enjoyed their meals ? Every
man, every woman and every child who is sick, puny or weak can soon eat heartily and enjoy every meal if they will
take Kodol. A truth worth repeating: When you take Kodol everything you eat tastes good, and every bit of the nutriment that
your food contains is assimilated and appropriated by (he blood and tissues.

Col. Bowie predicts only partly cloudy
weather for tonight and Sunday. There
is not a vestige of rain in sight. The “lo w”
that has caused the recent wet spell is
journeying by easy stages northeast-
ward, and this morning was central over
New Orleans. There will be no decided
change in the temperature and the ther-
mometer will continue to play around 60
degrees and higher. Fresh northerly winds
shifting in time to the east will blow. There
is a well developed “low” central.over Utah
and Nevada, but it cannot be forecast
whether or not it will move this way. The
season of the yeai’ where the well marked
pathway of “lows” and “highs” from the
west eastwardly is now passing and it may
be this last defined “low” will head north-
wardly instead of southwardly. As it
would very likely bring rain, such a course
is to be devoutly hoped for anyway.
FOR GALVESTON AND VICINITY.
Partly cloudy tonight and Sunday; no
decided change in temperature; fresh
northerly winds;, becoming easterly Sun-
day.

WORLD’S FAIR PROSPECTS.
Greatly Improved by Work of President
Francis and Commissioners in Europe.
New York, N. Y., March 14.—The pros-
pects of the St. Louis fair have steadily
improved owing to the energetic action
of the American commissioners in Eu-
rope, cables the London representative of
the Tribune. All the great colonial, pos-
sessions of England, France and Holland
in the east will be creditably represented,
every important country bordering on . the
Pacific and Indian oceans will have ex-
hibits, and American visitors to the fair
will have an opportunity for seeing Asia
and Australia in miniature and studying
their resources. Gov. Francis and other
officials of the exposition have done ex-
cellent work in advertising It in European
capitols.

Monthly Returns on Shipbuilding—
“Clamshell” Digger Being Over-
hauled—Arrivals and
Departures.Secretary Moody has granted a five
months’ extension of contract time to
William Cramp & Sons, Philadelphia, who
are already seven months behind time on
the cruisers Pennsylvania, and Colorado.
Five of the seven months delay it at-
tributed to chahges; nfade in designs by
the navy department, and this extension
will be- alloweq. The Colorado will be
launched on A^'il -9, and will be the first
vessel afloat of a qlass destined to out-
rank anything the ctuiser line belong-
ing to any navy. Coupled with tremend-
ous battery power, she has the speed of
an ocean liner. The great hull is 502 feet
long, 69 feet 6 inchesfwide, and when com-
pleted will draw 21 feet 6 inches of water.
The trial displacement will be about 13,680
tons, and to fulfill the contract she must
steam 22 knots aji hour for four consecu-
tive hours. 1
TWO felG DREDGES.
Two big dredges tae to be built by the
New York Ship Building company, Cam-
den, N. J., one of which will be the
largest ever constructed on the Delaware
river. It is to be built foi' the govern-
ment for deepening the passes at the
mouth of the Mississippi river, which-are
constantly filling up with the soil brought
down by the big river. This dredge will
be equal to a steamship in size and carry-
ing capacity. She will be of the sand-
sucker type. Several thousand tons of
sand can be carried at one time, and to
unload it will be pumped overboard in the
same manner. The second, dredge will be
of the same type for private parties.
SHIPBUILDING RETURNS.
The monthly shipbuilding returns of the
commissioner of navigation show tha,t 55
vessels of 23,906 gross tons- were built in
the United States and officially numbered
during the month of February. Of these
46, with a tonnage of 5140, were built of
wood, and 9, with a tonnage of 18,766, were
built of steel. Of the wooden vessels 20,
with a tonnage of 2191, were sailing ves-
sels. The largest vessel documented dur-
ing the month was the Arizonian, of 8671
tons, built at -San Francisco for the Amer-
ican-Hawaiian Steamship company.
TRAINER FOSTER BAOK.
New York, N. Y., March 14.—Fred Fos-
ter, who owned Dr. Rice when that horse
won the Brooklyn handicap from Henry
of Navarre in 1894, has returned to Ameri-
can soil after three years spent on the
European turf. He raced horses in Turkey
and Austro-Hungary the past two seasons
and -claims he is the only American who
ever trained horses in the sultan of Tur-
key’s domains. Foster had charge of the
late Baron Bleichroeder’s thoroughbreds.
“In Sarajero-, the racing city of Tur-
key,” said Foster, “I entered my horses
in seven races and won them all, while at
Budapest I finished third. Subsequently
I won 17 consecutive races in- that city
and Vienna. Turkey is a good field for
American horsemen. It is virgin soil for
the Yankee trainers, who have heretofore
overlooked this market, for their style
and enterprise.”

H. E. Sherman of Kansas City was in
Galveston for a few hours yesterday. He
left last night for Houston to arrange for

DANGER OF COLDS AND GRIP.
The greatest danger from colds and grip
Is their resulting in pneumonia. If reason-
able care is used, however, and Chamber-
lain’s Cough Remedy taken, all danger will
be avoided. Among the tens of thousands
who have used this remedy for these dis-
eases we have yet to learn of a single case
having resulted in pneumonia, which shews
conclusively that it is ft certain preventive
of that dangerous disease, tl will cure a
cold or an attack of grip In less time than
any other treatment It Is pleasant and

BEST FOR THE BOWELSOld Sol broke through a rift in the
■clouds at 11 o’clock sharp this morning
and the sunshine register in the weather
office recorded the first sunshine, even
though it was but a weak, puny lot of
sunshine, that has bea,med over Galveston
since last Wednesday. During the month
of March, up to the time old Sol showed
that he had not gone out of business this
morning, a total of 33 hours and 12 min-
utes of sunshine was recorded in Galves-
ton. This includes all sorts of sunshine,
from the strong rays that were sent down
on Galveston on March 7 to the apologies
that were diffused over that portion of
the earth’s service occupied by Galveston
on March 2.
The following days are the ones when
the sunshine was recorded, as well as the
duration of the sunshine: March 1, 4
hours and 6 minutes; March 2, 24 minutes;
March 3, none; March 4, 6 hours a.nd 6
minutes; March 5, 4 hours and 6 minutes;
March 6, 5 hours; March 7, 6 hours and 30
minutes; March 8, 1 hour and 12 minutes;
March 9. 4 hours and 36 minutes; March
10, none; March 11, 1 hour and 12 minutes;
March 12, none, and March 13, none.
The sight of the sun was a most wel-
come one in Galveston today. The sun-
shine had hardly gotten strong enough to
make shadows before the telephone bell in
the weather office began to tingle and Co-1.
Bowie received profuse thanks from many
sources for breaking a. habit that had al-
most promised to establish an inexorable
precedent. In less than three months the
very ones who rejoiced when the sun
again became visible this morning will be
railing against fate because the same
forces that now send clouds to blanket
Galveston does not send them when the
summer time makes things warm and hot
to break the effect of the heat. But for
the time being no one is inclined to raise
objections to the showing the sun is mak-
ing today.EL MINA SHRINE
Sixty-Seven Novices Parade and
Initiated—Banquet Served
Afterwards.A total of 67 men had hot feet in Gal-
veston last night. They were the novices
who were seeking knowledge, and they
journeyed across the hot sands that sur-
round the Shrine El Mina. Prior to mak-
ing the journey the candidates. for pity,
then congratulation, journeyed through and
over the streets of Galveston headed by a
brass band, accompanied by Clinton Wol-
ston’s world-famous company o-f strolling
z-abo players and by a few of the purified
who had gone before. The terrified accept-
ed with many smiles every kind, word that
was said to them along the line of march.

WEATHER STOPS DEMURRAGE.
Such weather as has been prevailing in
Galveston and Texas for the past two
months -and more has resulted in a mini-
mum amount of car demurrage being paid
by the Texas merchants for failure to un-
load car-load shipments received and set
for delivery of all goods that could be
damaged by .getting wet. Under the rules
of the Texas Car Service association the
free time in 'which to unload cars of freight
is extended on. days that rainy or threat-
ening weather prevails. Only those- who
have been the consignees of such- freight
realize how quickly the free time allowed'
slips away. While they might not view the
wet weather spell as a good thing in every
way, it certainly should present a silver
lining when a rush of business is on in
other lines and a car of freight can be
allowed to lay over another day without
being unloaded and without having the
customary $1 demurrage charged up
against it. >
A CLEANLY AGE.
Twentieth Century Ideas Incline To-
ward Sanitation and Preventatives.
Nowadays scientists believe'that in clean-
liness lies the secret of prevention of dis-
eases.
To prevent a disease, remove the cause.
Just as unclean habits breed many dis-
eases, 'so careless habits will breed dan-
druff. Improper use of another's bushes,
combs, etc. will surely cause dandruff, and,
in time, will just as surely cause baldness.
It’s microbic infection,, nothing more nor
less.
Ne-wbro’s H-er.picide kills the dandruff
germ, and causes hair to grow luxuriant-
ly. Herpicide is 'absolutely free from
grease or other injurious substances.
Sold by leading druggists. Send 10c
in stamps to The Herpicide Co., De-
troit, Mich. J. J. SCHOTT, Special
Agent.

stairs; bath with Alta Loma water at-
