YOkR PALATE is YOUR ST0MACHS
CONSCIENCE.
YOUR STOMACH Knows WHAT is
GOOD FOR YOU.

Thin people are thin because the
food they eat is not absorbed. Rea-
sons, either wrong food, or right food
undigested.
Fat, oils and grease will not make
any one fat. This is because they are
indigestible. Thin people find it hard
to digest their food. Fatty foods
make it still harder.
Have YOU ever noticed that almost
without exception, thin, pale, dyspep-
tic, anaemic people have an aversion
to fat? This is Of itself enough that
such foods are bad for them.
Let your palate tell you what to
eat. Nature makes very few mistakes
and we should listen to what she says.
Thin people may become fatter, and
dvspepetice more comfortable by TAX
ing the Shaker Digestive Cordial. 1T
agrees with the weakest stomach. 1T
helps the weak stomach digest other
food. It is fattening and invigroating
in itself, for it contains artifcially
digested food.
The Mount Lebanono Shakers have
made a great many interesting discov-
cries within the past hundred years,
but none more important than this
ingenious cure for all diseases which
are traceable to faulty digestion. A
single 10 cent bottle viii tell wheth-
err it is adapted to your case, and can
be had through any druggist.

There is a streak of solemn Dutch all
through Wisconsin which may save to
Mckinley that sober commonwealth.
For the decency of the thing count
Ohio for Mckinley, albeit should the
Democrats name Campbell, Mckinley
would be driven to the Buckeye wall
in q moment. Count all those States
for Mckinley. But the others of the
North-Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois,
Michigan, Indiana and New York-are
debatable, fightable ground.
mckinley is not sure of any Of
them. In the doctrine of chances, he's
sure to lose one-third of them, Illi-
nois, for instance, is almost certain to
turn on Republicanism and rend it.
Tanner, whom the Republican name
for Governor, is bad and the people
know it, Altgeld, after one gets
through with his anarchistic side, has
been the best Governor the State ever
saw, and all concde it. The State is
a-riot for free silver. Mckinley can't

Illinois is about as certain against Nc
kinley as Texas itself. There you are.
when the Democrats come together
at Chicago we will know more. But
we are already assured of McKinley's
defeat. A bolt at Chicago hurts him.
1t is a paradox of politics, but it's true.
All Mckinley has is the gold strength.

that strength. For one thing, it would

HEALTH DESTROYING vAPoRs.

Water fmpregnated with the seeds
of malaria, produce incalculable misery
throughout vast portions Of the North
and South American continents. The
most effective medicinal defence
against these producers of physical
mischief is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters. Wherever the great endemics,
chills and fevers, bilious and remittent,
dumb ague and ague cake are preva-
lent, the Bitters is alike the chosen
preventive and remedy. In Mexico,
Guatemala, ON the Isthmus of Panama,
and in South America, no less than in
the .United States TT has demonstrated
it's superlative efficacy, and has receiv-
ed the commentator of the medical
profession. 1T remedies rheumatic, kid
ney and stomach ailments, nervous
ness and debility, and counteracts a
tendency to premature decay and the
troubles attendant upon advancing
years. Appetite and the ability to
sleep are both aided by it. Use it with
persistence, as it well deserves to be
used, and the trial will avail you much.

SENATOR TELLER THE MAN.
Stewart Thinks Mo One Else can Unite
the Silver Forces.

Washington, June Ex-senator Stew
art, of Nevada, who some time ago
Withdrew from the Republican party
to act as an independent silver man,
will start tomorrow for Chicago, to at
tend the Democratic convention. In
explanation Of his purpose, he said;
Il go there sin1plyas apriyate citizen,
to use any influence I may have TO Sc
cure a union of the friends of monetary
reform on the same candidates for Pres
ident and Vice-President. If that can
be done there is no question about the
success Of the candidate. The great
mass of the American people are OPP
posed to the single standard, and have
thought they were voting against it
for the last twenty years. The plat
forms of both the old parties have, as
rule, declared in favor of both metals
as money, and for bimetallism in it's
largest sense. The Republican party
has ait last declared in favor of the
English gold standard, and says it will
adhere to it as long as England does. "
What men do you think would best
unite the silver forces of the country? 90
he was asked.
The two men who appear to COM
mand the confidence of all parties are
Henry NJ. Teller and Joseph G. Sibley.
For character and ability. Henry Nj.
Teller is the peer of any Statesman in
the United States. He was a Demo-
crat previous to the war. Since then
he was a Republican until the meeting
nf - 4
which time he belongs to no party
He is an American citizen, and belongs
to all the people"
Would the Populists support Mr..
Tellerw he was asked.
Certainly. Mr.. Teller has done re-
Gently what the Populists did long ago.
He has left his party because he believ-
ed his party was against the country
Would the Democrats at Chicago
who voted for Mr.. Teller be considered
as departing from their party?"
Certainly not, if he is nominated BY
their party. He is still a Democrat i'm
the highest sense. lie belongs ito no
party. If they will nominate him, he
Is their man, because he is the man of
the whole country They don't aban-
don their organization. They do 1T in
their organization, whereas the Popu-
lists, in supporting Mr.. Teller, take the
nominee of the Democratic party"
Would the nomination of Bland or
Boies have the same effect as the nomi-
nation of Mr. Teller?''
fear it would not, for it requires
Populists and Republicans who have
left their party, 10 join with the Dem
ocrats without any action on vhe part
of the Democracy s;gnifying a desire
TO cooperate. If the silver Democracy
have not enough regard for the Popu-
lists and silver Republicans to indicate
III some substantial way their desire
OF cooperation, the PopuIists will nom
mate candidate of their own and ms
tify themselves, on the ground that
they are not willing ITO trust the DEM
ocracy. To insure success there must be
mutual concess .ons.''

His
Lip Gone!

There is not a more familiar figure
on the streets of Atlanta than the man
whose picture is here shown. Every
body knows him by sight and it will be
remembered that years ago he began
to wear on his upper lip, just under
his nose, small piece of court plas-
ter, not larger than a silver half dime;
this plaster he has worn constantly,
though it gradually increased in size,
as everybody knows, until it was as
large as a silver dollar. This man Is
NJ. NJ. Nicholson, who resides at the
corner of Anderson and Curran SITS.
1t was thirty years ago, that he first
noticed tiny scale, like a piece or
wheat bran, on his lip. He at first
Thought it only fever blister, but 1t
was not long before his checks became
diseased and painful to the touch, and
he soon realized that he had fallen a
victim to that most dreadful disease
Cancer. 1t rapidly increased in size
and severity, and remembering that
his father had cancer when he died,
and that his uncle also lost his life by
this terrible disease, which destroyed
his tongue, throat and left eye, Mr..
Nicholson became thoroughly alarmed,
and realized that his condition was
more than serious.
