If small bottle of Shaker Diges-
tive Cordial does you no good, don't
buy large one.
"Prove all things, hold fast that
which is good" It's not good for
everybody, only for the thin, pale,
sick, weak and weary. For those who
are starving for the want of digested
food. For those who cannot get fat
or strong, because their stomachs do
not work as they ought to.
These are the people, millions of
them, whom Shaker Digestive Cor
dial will cure.
Food makes strength, muscle, brain,
blood, energy-after it is digested. If
not digested it will do you no good at
all.
Shaker Digestive Cordial helps your
stomach to digest your food and cures
indigestion permanently. When
you've tried a small bottle, you can
tell.
Sold by druggists. Trial bottle 10
cents.

THE ATTORNEY GENERALSHIP.

Matters gubernatorial seem to rest
very quiet in Blue Earth county, just
at present. and from the surface but
little interest appears. Things how
ever, may take on different hue by
the time the county convention meets
and possibly become more animated.
But few days will elapse before the
primaries are held, when the decision
of the people as to what they want
will be given.
AS Blue Earth county haj a candi-
date for attorney general in the per-
son of Mr.. BENZ. D. Smith, it ought
and no doubt will give him a delega-
tion that will stand by his interests
to the end. Mr.. Smith has been given
many assurances of support from all
over the state, and if the Second dis
trict wishes place upon the state
ticket this fall, it should rally strong
to his support, and Blue Earth county
should take the lead by giving him a
delegation of it's most representative
men. In the hands of such delega-
ton, free to act on their own best
judgment, the interests of the county
would best be served, and the chances
of Mr.. Smith more surely promoted.
There can be no question but that
the Republicans of the Second dis
trict deserve recognition upon the
ticket, and in Mr.. Smith they present
a man in every way qualified for the
office to which he aspires, and the
right kind of work can secure it for
him. And Blue Earth county should
take the lead in the matter, and by
it's delegation give notice that it will
stand Loyalty by it's own man to the
last.
Let the matter be kept in mind at
the primaries next Tuesday, and dele
gates elected who will stand loyal TO
the county and the man it puts for
ward for the endorsement of the party
in it's state convention.
