The Shakers have made great hit.
Their Digestive Cordial is said to be the
most successful remedy for stomach
troubles ever produced. 1t immediate
ly relieves all pain and distress after
eating, builds up the feeble system and
makes the weak strong.
The fact is, foods properly digested
are better than so-called tonics. The
Cordial not only contains food already
digested, but is digester of other foods.
Food that is not digested does more
harm than good People who use the
Cordial insure the digestion of what
food they eat and in this way get the
benefit of it and grow strong.
The little pamphlets which the ShaS-
ers have sent druggists for free distribu
tion, contain much interesting informa-
ton on the subiect.Of dyspepsia.

wings Galore"

Mr.. EDITOR; Comment is going the
rounds of the press on the above head
ing, fashion papers having announced
that the modish woman in the coming
season must appear in rings. This does
not mean that the pinions popularity sup
posed to belong to wOman's angelic side
are about to come in view, but that she
is to borrow the wings of natures most
useful and beautiful creatures and deco
rate (?) her hat, wraps, muff and cuffs
with the withered wings of dead birds,
wrenched from their little quivering
bodies to deck, not South Sea Island
er, but supposedly civilized woman.
About three years ago we were told that
hoops were once more to be worn. From
England to California went cry of re-
monstrance. Clubs were formed and
papers circulated to secure influence
against the hoopskirt. Whatever may
be said about that article of apparel, its
use does not neCesSitate the taking of
life. Do not women know that to per-
nit the fashion of bird ornaments re-
quires the destruction of millions of
birds every year? That farm crops are
laid waste and noble elm trees dying be-
cause the busy workers that hunted
worms and insects are killed for her TO
wear? Do not women care that the bird
young are left to starve in their nests in
order that the bodies or wings of the
parent birds may be used as ornaments
for her? The aigrettes, so much worn
recently, are the nuptial plumes of the
white heron, dOnned only during the
nesting season. Everyone of these light,
airy plumes on a woman's bat means
that a bird has been killed in the nesting
season, and its young have miSerably
perished. Whole species of birds are be-
coming extinct that women may be
'styliSh." Will not our thoughtful and
merciful women (who are promised mer-
cy as they show it,. unite to prevent this
remorseless slaughter? Every wing,
plume or birds body bought this season
means the killing OF at least one other
bird to meet fashions demand. The
movement against hoops was successful
who will start crusade against wings?
Who will carry it on? | hope all will
speak at once" ana speak much and
often. Let Anti-Plumage Leagues" be
formed in every town and village. If
women will not wear bird mummies,
birds will not be killed for her

IS IT THE ENDp
A Time of Great Mortality.
Especially Noticeable in Children. = Will Man Cease to Exist? - Can the "Omega" be Averted2

! Especially Noticeable in Children. = Will Man Cease to Exist [? - Can the Omega be Averted2 Why is it, with our improved sanitary appliances, our care to obtain fresh air, pure food, and plenty of exercise, the ob- servance, in fact, of every hygienic law, that in spite of every care each succeed ing generation seems to become weaker and shorter lived? Is it that we are now suffering for indiscretions of our ances- tors, or is that terrible, unknown end of man at hand ?
 Whatever the cause, the existing con- dition of things is too apparent. Especi- ally is this noticeable with the babies. Instead of the mothers life-giving milk, they are compelled to begin a struggle for existence with the bottle. The result in many cases is disastrous. The little one, failing to obtain necessary nourishment, grows weaker daily, until death ends the struggle. The end in these cases is
 Simply Starvation.
 With this termination so often the case. the best physicians of the day have re- gsorted to the use of Bovinine. that great and original raw food product as a means to save the babies.
 In this connection Dr. A. B. Robinson. 61 Dudley St., Boston, after commenting Bovinine most highly for various compli- cations where the waste of disease must be checked, and new blood, flesh, and strength created to effect a cure. says concerning this life-creating preparation, .'' With feeble, bottle-fed babies, small amount added to the milk has in my practice saved many children"
 Bovinine is not medicine, but a life-maintaining, flesh, bone, and blood making preparation that contains the greatest amount of nourishment in the least possible bulk.
 Give it to the little ones while there is still hope. Your physician, if you ask him, will recommend it, and you will bless the results obtained forever.

E. s. were present Saturday to make their choice of rooms in the home There are twenty-eight bedrooms which were assigned according to application to the several lodges to furnish. The first choice fell to the local lodge, Compass, and they selected the southeast corner room in the main building. There are also two bathrooms and an infirrn- ary, making thirty-two rooms in all
 Fifty dollars is the fixed sum for fur- nishing the rooms. The Order of the Eastern Star will furnish the large as- sembly room on the first floor and Hiram lodge of New Haven will furnish. the reception room on the north side, at an expense of about $500. The house will probably be dedicated the latter part of June on St. Johns day which is the most prominent Masonic day in the year. The reftting of the home and the extensive improvements that are being made about the grounds re- mind one of the time of Oneida Com. munity when this property was one of the best kept in the borough of Wal lingford,

 MT. Middleton of Enfield said 1t was too much to ask a. party to pay double the expense of a fense. He would pre- Ter that a. fine be imposed for neglect, and that only the actual expense be charged.
