According to Macon merchant* the sale of Ohrlatmas gifts this year will be unusually large, although there will he no radical departure from the of ferings of last season. What has struck me." said a Cher ry street dealer yesterday afternoon, is that there seems a general inclina tion to buy more expensive gowns and furnishing* than usual. There are plenty of persons who have plenty to spend. Imported stuffs have a ready sale, and the more costly home pro ducts are selling well. From present Indications I should say that It will be vary prosperous Christmas—so it ought to be merry." Another well known dealer said: The sale of Chtlatmns gift* depends o a larger extent than Is generally known upon the condition of the weather. When it Is cold the Christ mas spirit gets Into everyone, and everyone immediately spends as much aa *he or he wants to spare for pres ents. Then when Its cold cloaks and overcoats sell well. Somehow people don't seem to want to take any chances on the weather turning cold. "Speaking of the outlook, I should say that there Is no radical difference from the outlook at this time last year, although the general activity la perhaps more marked. While the sales will be larger no marked changes will be noted." Nearly all the stores in the city that cater to the Christmas trade have ela borately decorated their show win dows, and the principal streets of the city nre a delight to the eyes. With out a doubt the Yule tide spirit has caught the people of the city In more ways than one. The eager young sters and the more enthusiastic grown-ups arfe caught In the air and are taking no means to hide It. Still the time comes but once a year and the spirit la the best of all spirits. Without the presence of the street vender the Christmas season would at least lose a large portion of Its attrac- thn tlvenesa hut with him and his almost I useless catchpenny devices the shop hope to stand llrst at the w!ndup*of*tho oopoctollfr thnt class of them who season..

In addition to this fact, it contains, in assimila tive-form, the greatest known tonic and reconstructive proper ties. All other digestants and dyspepsia remedies digest certain lasses of food only, and are lacking in reconstructive properties. Nature is willing that perfect digestion should be maintained, and a grateful stomach sweetly responds with growing appetite to the strengthening effect of Ko doi upon the digestive organs.

EVANS, Commissioner. ATLANTA, Aug. 10th, 1904. E. C. DeWITT & CO., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs: ‘‘I have suffered more than twenty years from Indigestion. About eighteen months ago I had grown so much worse that I could not digest a crust of corn bread and could not retain anything on my stomach. My heart would beat so fast I could not sleep, at times I would almost draw double with pain at pit of my stomach. I lost twenty-five pounds; in fact I made up my mind that I could not live but a short time, when a friend of mine recommended Kodoi Dyspepsia Cure. I consented to try it to please him and I was better in one day. I now weigh more than I ever did in my life and am in better health, than for many years. Kodoi did it, I keep a bottle con stantly, and write this hoping that humanity will be benefitted.” Yours very truly, JAKE C. MOORE. Dyspepsia Cure DIGESTS WHAT YOU EAT PERSONAL.
