THE LATEST SCIENTIFIC KNO WLEDGE
ON FOOD AND DIGESTION.

The real cause of most of our diseases is
simply an inability to digest food. This in
duces thinness, weakness, loss of flesh and
fat loss of vitality, wasting away.
Loss of flesh and vitality means constant
liability TO sickness. Wasting away is con-
sumpti on.
If getting thin is what ails you, there is
only one thing to do-get fat. The only way
to do it 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 OF 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. Strength, vitality and flesh are
the true indications.
Getting thin is a sign that you need the
Shaker Digestive Cordial. You would not be
getting thin if you could digest your food.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial not only con-
tains artijcially digested food, but it will
digest other foods in the stomach.
A single 10 cent bottle will show whether
or not it is going to meet the conditions of
your ease and if so, its continued use may
be depended on to effect cure All drug
gists keep it in stock

To Astonish the EngIishmen.

London, June Sat the Royal cinque
ports yacht regatta held b ere today, Em-
peror Williams new cutter Meteor again
won. This was her third race and third
victory, and the belief gains strength
daily THAI she is moro than a match for
any of the fast British yachts. The
course was from off Dover pier round
tho northeast buoy, thence to Sand light
ship and back, twice around, A miles
Owing to the light wind that prevailed,
the boats went around only once, making
the distance a2 miles. The Ailsa and
the Brittania were first to cross the line
followed by the Meteor and Satinita.
which crossed wit hin short time of
each other. Meteor no sooner crossed the
line than she began to gain on the lead
ers. When the Meteor rounded t. buoy,
she had led OF minutes and 20 seconds
over the -Ailsa. Once around tho buoy
the Meteor had to beat against tho tide
with ss,naderate Freeze.
She displayed excellent qualities, point
ing we'll and being quick in the stays
When the lightship was reached, the
Britannia was nine minutes behind the
German yacht. From the lightship it
WAS run home on a fair tide. The Brit
tania managed to take second place from
thu Ailsa in the run from the lightship
1t was generally concaded that ON all
points of sailing running, reaching and
beating the Meteor in light t. moderate
wind can beat any English yacht.

The majority of the employees of the
Post office believe there was no special
reason for Owney leaving so soon after

went to the Pennsylvania railroad sta
