Tan Maclaren's new short story, the
last he will write until after his Amer
lean visit, has been secured by The
Ladies' Home Journal. for publication
in the October and November issues.
1t is called The Minister ot St. Bede''
and is said to be in the brightest and
cleverest Maclarenesque vein. Besides
its charm as delightful romance the
story is said to be notable for the char
acter that the author has created for
the chef personge-the minister of
St. Bepe's, as the loyal lover of an
humble Scotch lassies.

After meals You should have SIMPLY
a feeling of comfort and satisfaction.
You should not feel any special in
dications that digestion is going on.
If you do you have indigestion. which
means not-digestion. This may be
the beginning of so many dangerous
diseases that it is best to take it in
hand at once and treat it with Shaker
Digestive Cordial For you know that
Indigestion makes poison, which
causes pain and sickness. And that
Shaker Digestive Cordial helps diges-
tion and cures indigestion. Shaker
Digestive Cordial does this by provid-
ing the digestive materials in which
the sick stomach is wanting 1t also
tones up and strengthens the diges-
tive organs and makes them perfectly
healthy. This is the rationale of its
method of cure. as the doctor would
say. Sold by druggists. price 10
