Loss OF $50. 600. oooiii


Labor-saving inventions or discover
les have often been violently opposed
on the ground that they take working
mems bread out Of their mouths. AL
though experience has shown the fall
lacy Of that theory the feeling, or fear,
was natural.
But it is not so much the lack of work
as the inability to work that causes
poverty and suffering, In England and
Wales every workingman averages ten
days of sickness every year, with to-
tai loss of wages for all Of about $780,
100000 per year. In this country the
loss is much greater. In all countries
the prevailing disease is indigestion
and dyspepsia and it's consequences
such as rheumatism, and other all
ments resulting from impure blood; a
result of dyspepsia.
No thorough, rapid and trustworthy
cure for this universal and obstinate
malady existed until the Mt Lebanon
IN. " Community of Shakers placed
upon the market their now famous rem
edy called the Shaker Digestive Cordial.
1t is prepared from roots and herbs cul-
tivated solely by them. Nothing more
certain, safe and palatable can
be imagined. 1t Expels the i'm
purities from the body by means
of the bowels, kidneys and
skin, and imparts vigor and tone to the
stomach-upon whose proper action all
our strength, activity and endurance
depends. For many years the Shakers
have given earnest attention to this
subject, and their final success is
thankfully admitted by the multitudes
who have been cured by the Cordial af-
ter all other means have failed. Their
high reputation for skill as herbalists,
for honesty and religious sincerity
guarantees whatever they recommend.
No invention can ever take your work
from you if you are able to work.
Health and strength are the vital con-
siderations.
In order to find whether the Shaker
Digestive Cordial is adapted to your

immediate. For sale by nearly all

Anecdotes of stambuloff.

Soon after my arrival at Sofia in 1899
moorland to the northeast of the town,
when my attention was attracted by
ed trees was a stout springless carriage,
such as the Bulgarian parody of roads
necessitates The carriage was empty,
and round 1t was grouped a posse of
mounted gendarmes, perhaps a score in
all, swaying and jostling each other like
the white horses of choppy sea. Some
two hundred yards off across the moor
was a little group, which the horsemen
watched anxiously. In the middle
walked a short, stout man with a gun
under his arm. Close about him, as 1t
were at the four corners of a square,
four gendarmes were trudging it wear
lily afoot. Over their shoulders were
long rifles with fixed bayonets gleam-
ing in the spring sunlight; at their hips
were short curved swords, which
showed a tendency to entangle in the
wearers' legs But for the presence Of a
couple of dogs, who were running about
merrily, if somewhat aimlessly ahead,
it might almost have meant military
execution. A snipe rose and rocketed.
The central figure raised his gun and
fired both barrels without result. Ny
companion knew at once that it was
