ACT YOUNG LAWYERS' JOB t EmntrlnE Jails and Failure of Prosecutions Are Feared as Re sult Title Wrong Say Big Attorneys of the SUUe. OL.YM.PIA. Wash., Nov. 23. Special.) There la serious talk here that unless the State Supreme Court secures an early nnnortunitv to act and renders a decision that the entire new criminal code la invalid, anothea special session of the Legislature may be sought td repeal the measure. Purporting- to be a code ot the criminal laws of the etate. the same Having Deen prepared by a committee of young prose- rating attorneys, the measure was pre sented to the last Jjegtelature and passea. Now that the act is in effect, from all parts of the state are coming attacks ur-on It attacks which, u succeestui mean that convicted criminals are to go unpunished because of errors and omls clone, mistakes and carelessness of the compilers and of the Legislature. Prompt Repeal Wanted. The demand for prompt repeal or else wiping the code out by adverse decision of the Supreme Court comes from the belief that ultimately the code wiu oe held invalid. When that holding is made, of course. It will render equally Invalid all prosecutions had since the new law went Into effect. To begin with, the act pretends to be a criminal code, but at best it contains but a fraction of the criminal statutes of the ' state. It attempts to repeal, by mere reference to old code paragraph num bers, scores of old criminal laws. This in direct defiance of the constitutional provision against such a form of repeal. Title Is Weak Point. The chief attack upon the code will be against Its title. The constitution re quires that the title shall be fully and comprehensively expressive of the body of the act. In this act the title Is a short general one. "An act relating to crimes and punishments," etc., which might mean anything or nothing and which prominent lawyers say will not for a minute stand the test of the courts. The fact that the scores of criminal, cases being heard nowadays throughout the state, all at great expense to the taxpayers, may have to be all tried over again by reason of a declaration that the law is invalid, and the probability that the tangled situation will be taken advantage of to prevent punishment of many lawbreakers, has stirred up local, state and other peace officers and action nf some sort to clear up the situation Is predicted for the near future.

CANNERIES ARE WANTED LEWISTON LAYS PLAN'S TO EN COURAGE INDUSTRY. Indigestion and Dyspepsia are often simple little matters at first, but if neglected will soon cause much pain and distress. Pretty nearly every dis ease that afflicts humanity is largely due to indigestion, at least indiges tion is the beginning; of the trouble. The only way to restore health Is to remove indigestion with Kodol. Every tablespoonful digests $ 1-4 pounds of food. Everyone knows that people must eat to live, and if they would eat plain food in moderation, there would be little need for doctors and drug stores; but all of us occasionally, and many of us constantly, eat not only too much, but swallow rich food that the stomach annot digest. The food ferments, gas fills the stomach, and undigested lumps of food harden and the- lining of the stomach becomes inflamed. That's where chronic and nervous dyspepsia comes in. Now, what is to be done? Simply this give the stomach rest; help it to do Its work. The only sure way Is Kodol. This is true because Kodol is the only preparation thafupplies the same di gestive Juices that are found in a healthy, vigorous stomach. Just as soon as Kodol goes down to the undi gested food, it starts proper digestion at once and away go the distress and pain. Our guarantee: Get a dollar bottle of Kodol. If you are not bene fitted the druggist will at once return your money. Don't hesitate; any drug gist will sell you Kodol on these terms. The dollar bottle contains 2 1 times as much as the 60c bottle. Kodol is preparedjn the laboratories of E. DeWitt & Co.. Chicago. Man, Horse and Wagon in River. KELSO,' Wash., Nov. 25. (Special.)
