GET APPETITE.
If You Don't, You Will Never Be
Strong or Healthy.

Appetite is one thing that you can't af-
ford to be without, for without 1t your
health, strength and comeliness flies out of
the window.
Poor appetite means weak stomach,
starved body, sick individual. Good appe-
tile the opposite.
Poor appetite is sign that your stomach
is too weak for digestion. You can aid it
with the Shaker Digestive Cordial
When your stomach is able to digest all
the food that your body needs, you will
have good appetite. Not before.
Good food, well digested. means strength
and a long, healthy life. Undigested food
creates poison which affects the whole body,
and may give you headache, dizziness
nausea, constipation, flatulence, languor,
weakness, mental depression, stomachache.
fever, nervousness, offensive breath,
anaemia, rheumatism, etc.
All these disorders will be relieved if you
will take Shaker Digestive Cordial.
1t is q pure vegeta bic digestive and
natural invigorator, which aids thestomach,
purfies the system OF the poisons of indi
geStion and makes you strong, fat and
healthy.
Shaker Digestive Cordial does not act on
the liver, but on the undigested food in the
stomach. 1t cures indigestion or bilious
ness without irritating the liver or any OF
the internal organs.

Frisco and A. & T..

In Wall street the impression prevails
that {. P. Huntington will ultimately be
found in control of both the Frisco and
the Atlantic a Pacific, but it can not be
shown that his hand figures in the present
efforts for reorganization of the Frisco.
The building of gap of 700 miles be-
tween Sapulpa and Albuquerque is per-
haps little more than Huntington would
care to undertake for some time to come.
1t is said that the bid of the A., T.. & s.
f. reorganization committee for the
Atlantic & Pacific property was $S,0O0,-
600 of A., 7. & s. F. 4 per cent bonds and
the entire land grant of the road. In
other words the holders of Atlantic & Pa
cific bonds could take about 45 per cent
in A., T. g. s. F. As for their road and
keep the Atlantic & Pacific land grant,
the A., T. & s. F. returning to the Atlantic
& Pacific it's land grant bonds.
The Atlantic & Pacific committee re-
fused to consider any such proposition,
and Chairman King sent experts over the
property, who reported lower valua-
tion, about $5,000,0O0, and nothing fur
ther was done. Many members of the
A., T. & 8. F. committee believe that it is
a mistake for both properties to sever
the relations, and, while it is possible
that $9,O00,00O A., T. g. s. F. 4s might be
paid for the Atlantic & Pacific over the
votes of the foreign representatives, this
is probably the extreme price, and the
committee decided to let the Atlantic d
Pacific go rather than raise its bid

TEXAS RAILROAD COMMISSION
An Injunction Granted Restraining
the State Commission from 0perat-
ing Its Regulations.
COMMISSION KNOCKED INTO COOKED HAT
No Authority for Regulations 1t Has
Promulgated-Held Further that
Rules and Regulations of Com
mission Are Unjust.

Austin, Texas, Feb. 3.-The railroad
commi1sion was to-day knocked into a
cooked hat by an opinion of Judge Nor
ris, of the SD district court, granting an
injunction restraining the commission
from operating its compress regulations
The questions involved in the case are
First, that the commission has no author
ity to make such regulations because they
are compress rates and not freight rates
such as the commission is authorized to
regulate.
Second, if it did have any authority in
such matters, the rule applied to the Hous-
ton g. Texas Central railroad was unreason-
able and unjust.
Third, that the commission was seek.
ing to apply rule to Interstate and in
ternational shipments, and by this means
attempting to regulate commerce be-
tween this state and other nations. which
WAS without its power.
The judge holds, frat, that the com
mission had not authority to make these
rates and regulations; second, to properly
prepare the case for appeal the facts
we're fully discussed, and the court held
that the rules and regulations, if within
the power of the commission, were un-
reasonable and unjust as applied to the
Houston b Texas Central railroad; third,
that the Houston & Texas Central rail-
road failed to satisfactorily prove that the
commission was applying rules and reg
ulations to interstate or International
commerce.
