The Loss $4,000 and the Insurance
Only $1,000.

Brunswick. Ga, Jan. 6.-The Brunswick
Brewery and Ice Company's en-
tife plant. a commodious two
story building, four residences
and all the out buildings were to-
talk destroyed by fire to-day. The origi-
nal cost of the plant six years ago was
$4,000. It's value before the fire was
about $4,000. The insurance on everything
is only $500, distributed as follows:
On the brewery and plant. Commercial
Union, $1,000; Orient, 81 900; Western. 81 900;
PENNSYLVANIA, $1,000; Delaware, $1,000; to-
on the dwellings,. Scottish Union and Ma
tional, $500.
The FIRE broke out at u o'clock and the
entire department responded. IL was first
noticed in the southeast wing and is sup
posed TO have caught from passing en-
gine.s flying spark. A strong southeast
wind was blowing and the inhammabie
material burned rapidly. Several streams
were put on, but the heavy wind was too
much TO night with low water pressure.
Attention was turned toward saving the
furniture in the dwellings with fair sue
cess.
The brewery was not being operated. II
was originally built by II. II. WOlters of
Philadelphia, but the company failed and
the property passed into receivers hands
anu was HnaHy sold to q company COM
posed of A. II. Lane. w h. Kay, c. Down

New York.
During the summer months the ice plant
and bottling works were operated being
recently improved at a cost of 81 500. The
owners are considerable losers The track
Of the Southern railroad running along
side the brewery, was burned temper
arily obstructing traffic and delaying sew
eral north bound passengers. 1t is I'M

the purchase of the plant and an option is
now out.

DIGESTION AND WORK.
HOW SICK PEOPLE MAY SAVE
THEIR ENERGY.

1t is as hard work for some people to d.
gest their dinner as it is for a normal
man TO walk ten miles.
After dinner rest awhile This Is m
old saying. 1t means that If after eatina
a heavy meal you try to do hard work
you will exhaust all your energy. There
will be none left for your stomach. Your
stomach needs energy to work just as
your leg or arm does
Sick people want energy. They seldom,
have enough for their stomach. Their di.
gestion is out of order and they want
to know the reason. It's simple enough
as we have told it.
What they ought to do is to save their
stomachs from hard work until it is capa.
BILE of doing it, just as they rest their
tired backs by lying down.
This they can do by using artificiallv
digested food. Shaker Digestive Cordial
contains such food; not only this, but
it is capable of digesting other foods in
the stomach.
Shaker Digestive Cordial affords nour-
ishment and creates new energy as soon
as it is swallowed. Ordinary food FIRST
has to be digested. Shaker Digestive Cor.
dial while creating new energy does not
eXpend any. 1t gives the stomach no
work to do. 1t will make thin people ia
Sick people are naturally thin. Gettina
thin is a sign of sickness. A person may
be born thin, and naturally remain so
Such one is not necessarily sick. All
