I'm THE BEGINNING

OF new year, when the winter season of
close confinement Is only half gone, many
find that their health begins to break
down, that the least exposure threatens
sickness. 1t is then as we'll as at all other
times, and with people even in good
health, that the following facts should be
remembered, namely: that Hoods Sarsa
parilla leads everything In the way of
medicines; that it accomplishes the great
est cures in the world; has the largest
sale in the world, and requires the largest
building in the world devoted exclusively
to the preparation of the proprietary
medicine Does not this conclusively
prove, If you are sick, that Hoods Sarsa-
parilla is the medicine for you to take?

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 1.-THE
and Nashville railroad
people are congratulating them
selves over the rapidity with
which repairs have been made at
the Rigolets bridge, through the
untiring efforts of Superintendent
Marshall. Inquiry at the offices of
the company yesterday evening
revealed the fact that all trains
will leave this city, beginning
with last night. This indicates
that work on the broken bridge
has been carried on rapidly and
completely, and that the spans
have been replaced.

Extending N. o. Port Limits.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE bill
introduced by Senator Gallery, eX-
tending the port limits of New
Orleans, has been referred to a SUBJ
committee OF the committee on
commerce by whom it is now be-
ing considered. Senator Gallery,
who was seen today, said that no.
protest to its passage having been
filed, he would hasten its consider
alton when it came before the
full committee. He expects
that a favorable report will
be made on the bill in a day
or two. The matter is very ur-
gent, as the commissioner of navi-
cation is in daily receipt of tele-
grams from New Orleans asking
privileges which the bill will ac-
cord when it becomes law.

YOUR PALATE 10 YOUR sToM-
AcHs CONSCIENCE.
Your Stomach Knows What is Good
For You.

Your stomach KNOWS Wnat is uoou
For You.
Thin people are thin because the food
they eat Is not absorbed. Reasons, either
wrong food, or right food undgested.
Fats, oils and grease will not make any
one fat. This is because they are indt-
gestlbe. Thin people find it hard to d.
gest their food. Fatty foods make it still
harder.
Have you ever noticed that almost
without exception, thin, pale, dyspeptic,
an8mic people have an aversion to fat?
This is of Itself proof enough that such
foods are bad for them.
Let your palate tell you what to eat.
Nature makes very few mistakes and we
should listen to what she says.
Thin people may become fatter, and
dyspeptics more comfortable by taking
the Shaker Digestive Cordial. 1t agrees
with the weakest stomach. 1t helps the
weak stomach digest other food. 1t is
fattening and inv gorating In itself, for it
contains artiiicially digested food.
The Mount Lebanon Shakers have
made a great many interesting discoveries
within the past hundred years, but q one
more important than this ingenious cure
for all diseases which are traceable to
faulty digestion. A single 10.cent bottle
will tell whether 1t is adapted to your
case, and can be had through any drug

Big Damage Suit.

JACKoNsVILLE, Jan. 1l.-Archer
Hartman, a Louisville capitalist,
who spends much of his time in
Florida looking after investments,
has sued j. N. G. Stockton, of this
city, in the United States Circuit
court for $4,000 for alleged libel.
Stockton is president of the
National bank of the state of
Florida, the leading financial in
stitute of the state. Hartman, in
connection with Henry M. Flagler,
Standard Oil magnate, has been
trying to establish a steamship
line between Biscayne bay, Fla,
and Havana, touching at Key
West. He went to Key West,
seeking subsidy. While there,
Hartman alleges, Stockton wrote
letters to Key West business men,
denouncing him Chairman as a
scoundrel, unworthy of trust.
These letters destroyed the steam
ship prospect and this suit is the
result.

An overcoat Thief.

Policeman Dawson last night
arrested Bert Anderson at second
hand goods store on West Com
merce street as suspicious char
acter, as he was trying to sell a
good looking overcoat. Anderson
looked particularly tough and
Anderson's partner, outside the
door, ran away when he saw the
officers badge, and this lent extra
suspicion to the case. The over
coat was identified today by an
Arkansas Pass railway conductor
as one of two stolen from him
a few nights ago.

MANAGER GRAU TOUCHED.
A $3.50 Diamond Stud and His
Shirt Stolen

Shirt Stolen.
Manager Jules Grau, Of the Grau
opera company, is missing a fine
$3.50 diamond stud of 81 karats,
which was stolen from his room
right under his eyes, last night.
Mr.. Grau had just changed his
rooms from the Mackey building
to No. 729 East Houston street,
being recommended to the latter
place by his orchestra leader, as a
nice quiet place. After retiring
last night about IL o'clock, with
his room door locked, he was
awakened suddenly and saw man
trying to untwist his diamond stud
from his shirt which was lying on
a chair. He called to the man to
"drop that, or I'll shoot" and al
though he was making a bluff, the
man took the shirt and all with
him and vanished quickly down
stairs and out the front door on
the street.
The place is kept by Mrs. Will
liams.
