BANEFUL INDIGESTION.
The Disorders II Causes and The Poi
sons II InStillS in The Blood.

II we only knew how dangerous. in
sidious and ruthless a disease indigestion
is. We would not wait as we do before
endeavoring to cure it.
The longer we wait. the more danger
Gus it is likely TO become.
So the sooner We take Shaker Digestive
Cordial the better IL will be. and the
better We will be.
Indigestion is dangerous because II
creates poisons in the stomach which are
absorbed by the blood and by it carried to
all parts of the body.
Could anything be worse than this?
These poisons would not be formed if
the stomach could digest its food. When
it can't. Shaker Digestive Cordial will
help it to do so.
Nothing will help the stomach so well
as Shaker Digestive Cordial, nothing else
cure indigestion so quickly, or so posi-
lively.
The reason is that it purihes the stom-
ach and the blood, and makes your food
strengthen instead of poison you.
1t is not medicine. but an aid TO diges-
ton, pleasant cordial for weak stom-
acbs.

An English lady in Seville writes: 1--WE

At the tobacco factory here there are
$500 women and about 100 men. The wo.
men one morning rose up against the
authorities and smashed windows. doors
and everything they could lay hands on
and then marched into the Plaza Sar
Fernando. One woman climbed up on a
Kiosk just opposite our windows and or.
ated to the crowd. The women Shouted

called out. For ten days the shops have
been mostly shut. the women WALKING

they have been reduced to entreating

the strike is over. Nineteen ring leaders

been made to the women The whole
town is fercely on their side.
One day l was sitting alone in the
public gardens, when l found myself sud

a trifle alarming; but l kept up a cour-

were quite delighted, and, instead of
scowling at me, one beautiful girl was
desired to dance in my honor which she
did, the rest clapping hands. l had heard
so much of the beauty of the cigarreras

NEW YoRK's NEW LIQUOR LAW.
Gov. Morton at Last Signs the Raines
Bill.


Albany n. Y, March 2S.-Gov Morton
this morning signed the Raines liquor
tax bill. The bill, which was violently
opposed by the liquor interests, is de-
signed to bring about radical reform
of the excise law. 1t does away with ex-
else boards in cities and towns and gives
the power to grant and revoke licenses
to a single board under state control. 1t
is expected that the new law Will enor-
mously reduce the number of saloons,
bring clubs under a uniform license sys,
tenn and protect churches and school
houses. 1t will also aid Sunday enforce
ment as blinds will not be kept up, and
the bill provides for the forfeiture OF Il
censes. Free lunches are also prohiblt-
ed
The principal argument against the bill
crs, chiefly those that sold only beer,
would be forced out of business by the
high license fee which the bill provides

fore, class legislation.

AN IRON COMPANY ASSIGNS.
Creditors to BE Paid Every Dollar
TO which They Are Entitled.


Easton, Pa, March 23.-The Glendon
Iron Company, one of the Oldest furnace
operating concerns in the Lehigh Valley,
with offices in Boston, to-day made an as
signment for the benefit of creditors, nam
ing as the assignees J. Tatnall Lea of Phil
adelphia and Francis G.. Gray of Boston.
Financial depression is given as the
cause for the assignment.
j. Tattnall Lea, one of the assignees,
said this afternoon that the assignment
was made a general one and had been
made for the benefit of all the creditors.
The extensive plant, which is capitalized
at LOCO, 900, Is located about two miles
from Easton, and its investments are rat
ed as much more than $,0OOGOO. The LA
bilities he did not think were very great,
and he understood that the creditors would
make arrangements with the company by
which they would receive dollar for dol
lar. The assignment was caused by the
very great depression in the iron trade,
but the real and personal assets OF the
members of the company will more than
cover the claims.
