NEW BANK BUILDING.

The foundation for the new Union
Savings bank building is now almost
complete. work having been in progress
for some two or three weeks. We are
able to give our readers some idea OF the
front of tie new structure by the illus
tration presented herewith. The
height Of the building is thirty fset.
The front is Of stone and cream Ro-
man pressed brick, the trimmings being
entirely Of stone or copper. The main
entrance to the bank is through large
vestibule some seven feet square, wains-
coted with marble, etc. The customers
lobby will be the largest Of any Of the
banks in the city. The entire fittings
OF the interior are OF solid mahogany Of
beautiful design, having been built by
one Of ths best manufacturers Of this
class Of goods in the country specially
for the Kearney National bank OF Kear-
ney. Of whom it was purchased by the
bank. The contractor stated today that
he expected to be able to turn the build
ing over for occupancy about June /.
The Union Savings bank has for the
pest ten years been at No. Ill South
Tenth street, and the change to
lighter and more pleasant building will
be appreciated by the officers as we'll as
the customers Of the bank. The size
of the building is 27xl00 feet.
Safety deposit boxes will be added to
the vaults Of the bank prior to time Of
occupancy 80 that they will be ready
for customers when they get into their
new quarters.

The real cause of most of our diseases is
simply an inability to digest food. This induces
thinness. weakness, loss of flesh and fat, loss
of vitality waiting away.
Loss of flesh and vitality means constant
liability to sickness. Wasting away is con-
sumption.
elf getting thin is what fails you there is only
one thing to do-get fat. The only way to do
1t is to take something which will help your
stomach and stimulate it to do its work.
If you are tired out you do not like to move
your legs or arms. If your stomach Is
tired it does not like to digest it cannot do its
work.
To eat, or even to eat with relish does not
necessarily mean that one Is being nourished

Getting thin Is a sign that you need the
Shakers Digestive Cordial. You would not be

The Shakers Digestive Cordial not only
