DIGESTION AND WORK
HOW SICK PEOPLE SAVE THEIR
ENERGY.

1t Is as hard work for some people to di-
gest their dinner rs it is fora normal man
to walk ten miles.
"After dinner rest a while This is an
old saying i means that If after eating a
heavy meal You try to Ito hard work you
win exhaust all your energy. There viii
be none left for your stomach. 1onr
stomach needs energy to work just your
leg or arm does.
Sick people want energy. They seldom
have enough for their stomach. Their di-
gestion is ont of order and they want TO
know the reason. It's simple enough as we
have told it.
What they ought 20 do is to save their
stomach from hard work until it is capa-
Bile OF doing it, just rs they rest their tired
backs by lying down.
This they can do by using artiticiaily di-
gested food. Shaker Digestive Cordial con
tains such food; not only this, but it is
capable of digesting other foods in the
stomach.
Shaker Digestive Cordial affords nOurish-
ment and creates new energy as soon asst
is swallowed. Ordinary food first has to be
digested Shaker Digestive Cordial while
creating new energy does not eXpend any.
1t gives the stomach no work to DO. 1t will
make thin people fat. Sick people are
naturally thin. Getting thin is "a sign OF
sickness. A person may be born thin, and
naturally remain so. Such "a one is not
necessarily sick. All Drug ISIS keep it and
a 10 cent sample bottle may first he tried.

Army of Northern Virginia, has pre-
pared with great care q "Stercoptican
Panorama" of the battle fields, battles
and commandery of the Army of
Northern Virginia, and the Army of
the Potomac, from Manassas to APP
pomattox. This is explained and dis
cussed by himself, with dispassionate
truth, and as it deals with the strategy
and tactics of the opposing generals,
and as told by and eye witness and par
taker in these scenes. it is of thrilling
interest.
The entertainment will be given at
Metropolitan Hall on the night of
Thursday, 10Th of December, under
the auspices of the Ladies' Monument
tai and Memorial Associations. 1t
will be an occasion of deep interest to
all the veterans and their friends, and
to the younger generation, to hear
from the lips of hero the story of the
struggle as it was; and at what cost
the South won her everlasting re-
nOwn.
One-half the proceeds will be devoted
to the construction of the Battle Alb
bey," provided for by the gift of one
hundred thousand dollars by Comrade
Chas. Il. Rouss, of Co. Il, 18th Va.
Cavalry, in which the relics, histories,
statues, and paintings of the Confed-
crate era may be gathered for all
time This gift is conditional upon
the raising of a certain amount in the
South, to indicate the interest Of the
people in the design.
The other half OF the amount raised
by the entertainment goes TO the fund
to be raised by the ladies to place
grayestones at the last resting places
of the Confederates from North Caro-
lima, who lie at Winchester unmarked
the only State where heroes are
nameless there. 1t is expected that
the Rev Mr.. Averitt, OF Louisburg,
will explain these circumstances, of
his personal knowledge, before the en-
tertainment of the General.
This is a purely patriotic enterprise
by one of our bravest chieftains. 1T is
hoped that our city may give him the
welcome that his noble mission justly
claims.
