NO CONSERVATIVE WILL DIE
SO Long As He Can Digest And AssiIn-
Hate Food.

All physicians admit this. Yet here the
difficulty begins. How can we build up the
consumptive's body as fast as the disease
tears it down? Let US consider
Cough mixtures must be avoided because
they frequently contain opiates which arrest
the digestion. Their only effect on the cough
Is by Supplying the nerves. Let them alone.
All foods that are hard to digest must be
avoided, especially fats and oils. Only those
foods that are easily digested aud assimilated
should be eaten. Foods not thus accep pied by
nature do no good; they do harm. Not what
Is merely eaten but what is digested and as
simulated gives flesh and strength.
Consumption is starvation, slow or rapid,
as may be. The first symptom is, not necessa-
riiy cough, but tendency to loose flesh, to
grow thin. Stop this tendency now. Don't
wait for obvious lung trouble. That's only a
later development-only minor point.
Stop the wasting and you master the dis
ease,-even though it may have made some
slghl inroads already. Increase the flesh and
the danger is past.
What is needed is an especially prepare ed
tood,-a nutriment in itself and digester OF
other foods.
Such an article is the Shaker Digestive Cor
dlai, made BY the Shaker Community, of Mt
Lebanon, n. Y. 1t creates a natural appetite
ana lnsures the digestion of what is eaten
with it. 1t overcomes the wasting which is
lat al ia the consumptive process
A man may lose money aud not die a bank
ropt. One may have consumption and not die
or It, This is science and sense The success
OF this new remedy proves it,

A NOVEL ENTERTAINMENT.
Pleasant Occasion at Winthrop Street Uni
versaist Church.

In the vestry of the Winthrop Street
Cniversalist church. Monday evening. a
very pleasant sociable supper and enter
tainment all Combined, was enjoyed to
the fullest extent
Professor G. A. Robertson was toast
master for the occasion, and called forth
many right and witty speeches from mem
bers present.
About two weeks ago, it was announced
that each member of the church might
choose some way of earning money to con-
tribute to the Ladies' Aid Society; at the
sociable each was to tell how his or her
contributions had been earned.
The ways were many and various and
comparatively few could be heard, but
those that were, proved very unique and
amusing, and furnished great entertain
ment to all present.
The affair was very largely attended and
pronounced by all to be one of the most
successful ever held by the society.
Nearly 500 was raised by the members.

Cleaning Silver.

Silver is cleaned at the shops by press
ing the piece against rapidly revolving
wheel made of canton flannel in many
rolls. The Wheel reaches all irregularities
of the surface and the silver is polished
without being scratched. An acid bath is
used to cleanse repousse work. and the
flannel wheel is afterward applied Pri
vate silver i. thus cleansed and polished
by contract at the large silver warehouses.
The cost ia not high, and the work Is
vastly better done than it can be at home.

will be seconded by the officials of his own
government, as well as by the japanese
officials whose duty 1t Is TO promote the
welfare of their countrynien in Hawaii.
There can be no such thing as coercion in
either case, for the laborers are free agents
in all essentials: but, on the other hand
all the facts combine to prove that the
Islands can never become a halfway depot,
as it were, for the shipment. of contract
labor to the United States.
It. therefore, sny contractor, so-called, in
Hawaii has offered to provide such labor
he is evidently trading upon the credulity
of those whom with whom he deals, or

Japan Like Any Other Foreign Nation.
So far as regards the emigra ton of any
portion of her laboring population to the
United States, Japan stands precisely upon
the same footing as any other foreign ma
ton. This country has its laws REGARDING
the importation Of contract and other la
Dor, the force and validity of which every
other state is necessarily bound to recog-
nize. In accordance with those laws the
subjects and citizens of numerous foreign
countries-Italians. Russians. Japanese and
others-have been turned away from the
shores Of the United States. This Is right
and proper, for 1t is entirely within the
province of every Independent state to con-
troll its domestic affairs In its own way
But 1t Is neither just nor polite to make
any discrimination in the application of
such restrictions. or to be spurred into an
exhibition of superfluous zeal through the
apprehension Of a purely Imaginary danger.
Happily, the circumstances of the present
case do not warrant the belief that there
will be such a result as this. or that there
will be need of recourse to any other or
more stringent measures than are pro-
vided by the terms of existing laws
So far as Japan is concerned, the gov
eminent has conclusvefy shown that 1t has
no desire TO countenance the infraction of
the laws f other ma tions in this regard by
making regulations wfich provide, anon,
other things, that no Japar csc shall emf
crate to a country where his coming would
be in violation of law. This stipulation of
itself might well be regarded as a salts
factory quietus to those visionary fears to
which the problematicai dangers of Japan
csc immigration have given rise.

The friends do not speak now, and the
portrait is consigned to oblivion.

1t is unfortunate that there are not at

the price at which the electrical power is

Is very vital question, and one that is CIV
ing considerable trouble in Buffalo, where
there is now in progress an important con-
troversy between the power company and

With the matter. and there Is a good deal
OF feeling on both sides. The council is try
ing TO force the company to tell the city
what 1t can deliver the power in Buffalo for
and the corporation refuses on the ground
that 1t cannot estimate the cost of trans
mission. Some critics say that this in
formation is easily obtainable and that the
company is purposey Withholding its
knowledge. Whatever the result of the con-
troversy, 1t is certain that If The corpora

Washington, April 27.-Since the de-
ciSion of the Supreme Court in the in

rents and invested personal property
under former income tax laws. 1t will
