cap OF some sort are In correct keeping
Storm coats for both boys and girls are
made OF rubber faced woods in stylish
checks and plaids, or else Of plain woods
prepared IN way TO resist rain. For
both sexes the model OF these is OF the loose
sleeveless mackintOsh description, with cape
attached; but a newer storm wrap for boys
is a great circular cape OF heavy faced wool,
with a capuchin hood bittoned on.
In France, whatever their age and station,
all boys wear these rough capes in stormy

Shaker Digestive Cordial for many years,

est, curative medicine that has helped to
make the Shakers the healthy, long
lived people that they are. The Shakers
never have indigestion. This is partly
owing to their simple mode Of life, partly
to the wonderful properties OF Shaker
Digestive Cordial. Indigestion is caused
by the stomach glands not supplying
enough digestive juice. Shaker Digestive
Cordial supplies what's wanting. Shaker

they don't need help. AS evidence OF
