NATURAL FAT.
GETTING FAT Is ONLY A QUESTION
OF EATING PROPER FOOD.

Thin people who want to get fat should
eat proper food and digest 1t.
That is the only natural way.
The trouble with most thin people is that
they suffer from indigestion
They don't digest their food. They don't get
enough nonrishment. They are slowly being
starved. They are poisoned by the produc is
of fermened and putrid food.
Shaker Digestive Cordial, a gentle, nat
ural, vegetable digestive, attacks the food in
your stomach just like the digestive juices,
and turns it into healthful nourishment. II
helps your stomach naturally. 1t makes thin
dyspeptics fat. 1t makes poisonous blood
pure. 1t tones up and cures the stomach.
Nothing will cure Indigestion like Shaker
Digestive Cordial. because nothing else goes
SO naturally about it. This is why it has
been so successful in relieving nausea.

DR.. ROSE ON TRIAL.
Portland's Psychic Healer and His Auburn
Troubles.

Auburn, October 5.-In the Supr eme
co1rt this afternoon the case of State va.
J. A. De Rose, in which Mary A. Ross,
tie A uburn olaf rvoyant ia the complain.
ant, was opened to o drawn jury.
County Attorney Judkins opened the
case and outlined Mrs. Ross's story,
which was afterwards testified to in de-
tail by Mrs. Ross herself.
DeRose calls himself a Psyche
Physician and has been doing business
under this name in Lewiston Mrs. Ross
says that DeRoss came to her with a re-
quest for the loan of money to start his
school of ''psy chologyy, metaphysics,
psy chophysics and Soul Culture" in
Lewiston. She claims that the professor
got hundred dollars from her By false
pretences, in that he made her believe
that it was the will of her departed
mother, Polly Pulsifer, who made known
her pleasure in the professors presence.
Polly's spirit said in n low but clear
voice: ''This man is all right, Mary.
You better let him have the money"
Mrs. Ross says now that she believes it
was the professor who did the talking
instead of the spirit of her departed
mother and she sets him down as rogue
of the first water.

Treasury Department.,
Washington, ID. c., October 8, 1895.
To o. o. H ealy, Washington, d. c.:
My Dear Sir-In response to the ques
tions which you have referred to me
have The honor to say that during the
present year. that Is from January, 1896,
to September 80, 1896, standard silver
dollars have been coined at the minis
OF the United States to the amount Of
$13, 9l2. SIP. Since November 1, 1898, the
date of the repeal nf the purchase ne
clause of the so-called Sherman act,
standard dollars have been coined in the
United States to the amount of SIT. 1859.
49l or m ore than twice as much as was
coined during the whole period of OUT
history prior to 1878.
The coinage of standard silver dollars
is going on every day at our mints, and
during the last month it amounted to
81, 700, 900.
About the same amount will be coined
during the present month. The seigno-
rage, or gain which has been added to
the circulation on account OF the coinage
since November l, 1898, is about S., 100,
600, ami tho seigniorage or gain in the
coinage Of last month was about 5000,
000.
The coinage is being done under au-
thorlty conferred upon the secretary OF
the treasury by the third section OF the
act of July ii, 1890, commonly called
the Sherman act, which provides that
tho secretary of the treasury shall, each
month, ccin two million ounces OF sill
YER bullion purchased under the provis-
ions Of this act into standard silver dol
lars until the first day of July. 1891. and
after that time he shall coin of the silver
bullion purchased under the provisions
of this act as much as may be necessary
to provide for the redemption of the trea.
sury notes herein provided for, and any
gain or seignoraRe arising from. coinage
shall be accounted for and paid Into the
treasury, 81
This law is still in force, no part of the
act having beon repealed except the
clause which directed the secretary OF
the treasury to continue the purchase Of
silver bullion and issue treasury notes
in payment for it, and the coinage is be.
iEg made from the bullion belonging to
the government purchased before the re.
peal of that clause.
The silver dollars coined, other than
the seignoIage, are held in the treasury
under the law for the redemption of tbs
treasury notes issued in payment for the
bnllion and since August !, 1898 thes,
notes have been redeemed in silver to
the amount of s31, 1876. 722 and the notes
have bean retired and cancelled, the sill
vcr dollars taking their place in the cir.
oulation. Prior to August 1898 none Of
these notes had been redeemed in silver
or retired.

Monmouthshire. A resolution was adopt
ed calling upon the government to do
everything possible to protect the Arme-
mans. In supporting the resolution Sir
William said he rejoiced at the auti-Sul-
tan outburst in England. Experience he
added, proved that the policy of Great
Britain, in defending the integrity Of
Turkey and preventing the Intervention
ought in the future to cooperate with
Russia in the East treating her as an
Aslatio neighbor, not as an enemy. Sir
William declared that he was profoundly
convinced that it was utterly impossible
for Great Britain to effectually operate
alone against Turkey.
