GET WELL &STAY WELL
Get Rid of What Makes You
Sick and StdU Rid of 1t.

1t is so simple to be we'll that we wonder
why there are so many sick people
Come to think about 1t, must he because
they don't know what's made them sick.
If they knew that they could prevent it.
and when they were sick, in some cases
cure themselves. But, so long as we don't
take more care of our health, we shall al
ways be more or less sick.
The simple rules OF health are: Keep
clean, take exercise, eat good food. scour
out your stomach.
This last means: Don't tolerate indi-
gestion. Cure it with Shaker Digestive
Cordial. A stomach full Of undgested,
fermented, putrid food is the unhealthiest
thing you can think Of
Half our diseases and troubles come
from the poisons OF undigested food.
More than half Of them could be cured
with Shaker Digestive Cordial.
More than half. because often when we
think we are sick we are only weak and a
course OF nourishing food digested with
out effort BY the stomach with the aid Of
Shaker Digestive c0rdlaD would reinvlg-
crate the whole system and make US well

Washington, April 27.-The eighth day at
Bennings was in point of attendance not
exactly up to Saturdays measure, but for
that, in all probability, the raw and dis

An important change in railroad opera
tons is soon TO be made. which will ma
ter.ally effect Gainesville, Ocala, and
Leesburg. Ever since President Plant OBJ
tanned control of the Florida Southern
railroad, much talk has been heard about
broadening the gauge of the road to the
standard, and making High Springs the
northern terminus for that division. Moth
ing definite has been given out till re-

Plant system stated that the company

Systematic robbery of a southwestern
road is said to have been carried on for
some time under the short car" scheme,
which is described in this way: "A freight
conductor approaches an agent, tells him
that he will pick up a car at a certain
place and leave II with him. The agent
receives the car collects the freight d.
Vides with the conductor, and the rail-
road is never any the wiser Nobody
knows anything about IL except the con-
ductor and the two agents" But on the
road in question others did know about IL,
and indictments and discharges are fol-
lowing. Another scheme is said to have
been to bill high-class freight as. low,
collect for high-class and divide the diff
erence among the confederates. Such
game could not long be played under a
proper system of accounting.

DIAMOND DUST.

There is a good deal Of feeling all around
the Western league circuit against the In
annapolis team for securing second place
by unsportsmanlike methods. It has been
obvious to people who take an interest in the
national sport for the past ten days that If
indianapolis would play out its schedule De-
troft would get the place and be entitled
to play Minneapolis for the Free Press cup
While all the other clubs in the league have
been making an effort to play out their
schedule Indianapolis has been trying to hold
up it's percentage by playing as few games
as possible. This method OF procedure was
begun when the Indians were in st. Paul.
Watkins refused to play a game here on
Wednesday. Sept. 9, because ne was afraid
he would lose it. Then when the Western
teams were swinging around the Eastern
end of the circuit Indianapolis played off all
its games with the weak Milwaukee team
but refused to play more than one game
day with Kansas City, Minneapolis and St.
Paul, except as to one postponed game with
Kansas City. Had Indianapolis played two
games a day with Minneapolis, for
instance. the Detroit team would
now have what it deserves sec
ond place. AS a result of it's policy the
Indianapolis team will end the season with
nine unplayed games, four with Kansas CITY
three with Minneapolis and two with St.
Paul. Something ought to be done to pre-
vent this sort of work before another season
rolls around.
