A POISONED LIVER.
Don't Keep Poison In Your Body
Longer Than You Have To.

If your stomach poisons your liver the
consequences may be serious.
What poisons Il rise in your stomach come
from undigested food which has dccom.
posed there. They are absorbed by your
blood and go to your liver, where they
paralyze Its functions and make you bilious.
Finally they go into the blood again and
are carried al over the body, disordering
your different organs, and perhaps making
you dangerously sick.
This is the origin OF many diseases which
arc not alwaysknown for what they are.
The roisons of unGigested food can only
bc got rid of by the use Of a purifying,
strengthening, digestive tonic, like the
Shaker Digestive Cordial.

number of Wa shington ladies are

by appropriations, but TO trust upon the
generosity of the citizens of the District.
Liberal offerings are requested to secure

Dupont Circle.
The young and homeless girls will he
kept at the institution until they are
eighteen years of age, when they will be
sent to situations provided for them.
1.-The plan in regard to the infants is to
care for them until three years OF age, after
which time, If the mother is able, she must
provide for her child; If not, the needed pro-
vision VIII be made. The idea in taking the
child for the first three years is to give the
mother opportunity and time to make a new
start in life, without compelling her to re-
linquish her claim on the child.
The plan Is to advise the mother TO enter
an Institution where she viii be trained
20 earn an honest livelihood, and VIII re-
ceive the teaching which she needs, while
at the the same time she will be allowed
frequently to see her child, and will be
made to understand her responsibility as
4 mother. If after this she should return
to a Iif, of sin she cannot make the excuse
that enforced separation from her child has
hardened her.
THIS plan has met with much expressed
sympathy, but with little material aid. The
necessity for the work exists, and should
be done and those who are willing to do
it known.
