WRONG & RIGHT EATING
One Makes Us Weak; The
Other Makes Us Strong.

Wrong eating makes us weak, because it
doesn't nourish US. l pois ons us, because
it sets up poisonous fermentation in our
stomach and the poisons go Unto our blood.
Wrong eating is eating 'indigestible food,
or eating more than our stomach is able to
digest.
Right eating is eating digestible food,
food that the stomach is able TO odigest, food
that will nourish you when it is digcsted.
Right eating strengthens and inyigorates
the body, gives endurance, increases weight
and restores health.
Wrong eating can nc made right by TAX
ing the Shaker Digestive Cordial. This
preparation, made by the Shakers from
simple herbs, roots aud wine, is delicious,
refreshing, and strengthening TO the body.
II Is Il powerful aid to digestion.
1t does not act by strongly stimulating
the stomach, but with its owH digestive fer
ments acts on the food in the stomach, and
reduces, instead OF increasing, the work
which the stomach has to do.
This is why it increases your strength,
why it will cure you OF all the bad effects
OF indigestion and of insufficient nourish-
ment, and purifies your system OF all dan
gerouS lndiErStive poiSons, when nothing
else has been found TO relieve YOU.

TELEGRAPH PULE TO STAND
Permit for the Work at Fifteenth
and the Avenue.
Because of Special Act Commissioners
Concede the Western Union What
They Refused the Electric Co.

The District Commissioners yesterda con-
ceded pretty much allthey were contcnding
for IN the litigation with the United States
Electric Light Company, but the Conces-
sion was not made TO President Thomas
On the contrary, so far as the Commission
! ers are concerned, the name OF Mr.. Thomas
isn't in it.
All the same, the board authorized a
! permit 10 be issued 10 the Western Union
! Telegraph Company for the erection of "a
new pole at the corner of Fifteenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue, about on the
line OF the north building line OF Pennsyl-
vania avenue.r
The new pole is to he painted an olive
/ color, aud marked with the name OF the
/ Western Union Company ana numbered.
! Permission is given to place on this olive
! Colored pole six wires OF the Western Union
! Company's plant, and also such electric
! light wires may now be actually strung
| on the present old pole and which were
! existing overhead wires At that locality on
! the 10Th day OF September, 1883, the date
when the right 10 string overhead wires
| ceased.
No other wires are to be transferred 10
the new pole without the assent OF the
Engineering Department.
1t is understood that the Commiss toner's
Were confronted with Il different state Of
facts when the Western Union Company
claimed the pole and applied for permit.
| That company is backed up by some pro-
vision i'll special act OF Congress that
entitled il 10 the privilege OF erecting the
pole. This privilege, the Commissioners
contend, was not conferred upon the United
States Electric Company.
Ii is further stated that had the Western
Union come forward in the beginning and
male its claim there would have been no
delay in issuing the permit, no heartburn
ings, no litigation.
The United States Company may there
fore be said to have become the beneficiary
by proxy of the Commissioners concession
and favor. 1t is entitled TO string the
wires from the Old pole upon the new pole,
which was erected by its own orders but
which is i'll law not vet erected, obtaining
the right only because neither the old nor
the new pole, nor the privilege, belongs
| TO it, bat that the Western Union Company
owns all three requisites TO possession OF
! the field.
1t Is not explained why the Western Union
| Telegraph Company did not put in its
! claim earlier. as the evidence all tends TO
prove that everybody Interested. even the
Western Union people, knew that the old
pole was unsafe and liable to fall and kill
somebody.

The time Of the House yesterday was
devoted to the consideration of the sundry
civil appropriation bill, although but little
real progress was made.
Theonly incident of local interest occurred
when the item giving the additional sum OF
$275000 to be used In the construction
of the new city postofrice was reached.
Mr.. Johnson of California, attempted to
obtain some information concerning the
alleged slow progress being madein pushing
the work to completion. He asked
Chairman Cannon WHY the sum of $780,
600, requested by the Secretary of the
Treasury, was not given, instead of $275,-
900, as carried in the bill.
NO NEED OF MORE.
Mr.. Cannon replied that the latter sum
was all that could he used by the first of
next March. further appropriation would
by that time be nfade at the short session
of Congress. lie said there was $1,000
remaining before the limit allowed for
the completion of the building would be
reached.
Mr.. Johnson Instituted other Inquiries
TO ascertain, If the work was in any way
being retarded by the inadequacy Of APP
pr0priaIions,s but. Mr.. Cannon assured him
possible dispatch and no better results
could be obtained If the appropriation was
made unlimited.
Mr.. JOHNSON SARCASTIC. aa.ss,.
With smile Nj. johnson remarked that
the rate or progress seemed to be some.
thing similar totar in December, ormolasses
in January, and a number of members
audibly joined in the smile.
Prior TO taking up the sundry civil bill
resolutions were adopted appointing Ber-
nard X. Greene as successor 10 the late
Gen. Thomas L. Casey, in charge of the
construction OF the new Congressional Ii
brary building. and authorizing eXPresident
BENJAMIN Harrison to accept medals pre-
sented him by Spa in and Brazil.
In the course OF general debate on the
appropriation bill Mr. Dockery declared it
TO be his conviction that the appropriations
made by the present Congress would eX-
ceed one billion dollars.

SAME THE WORLD OVER.
Astronomers Rob the Coast of It's
Previous Easter Sundav

Easter Sunday occurs on the same day
the world over. A statement published
that Easter Sunday occurred this year
week earlier i'll San Francisco than else
where in the world, is declared by scien-
lists here to be ridiculous, based perhaps
upon the erroneous supposition that the
astronomical full moon had anything what
ever to do with fixing the great church
festival.
IL that assumption had been in any way
warranted yesterday would have been
Easter throughout the country west of
P4ttsburg. The date of Easter depends
on the calendar moon and not on the true
astronomical moon, which in general, occurs
one or two days earlier, and this fact has
led to many misunderstanding in the past
According to the regulations of the coun-
Gil OF Nice, Easter must follow the four
teenth day of the paschal moon, being that
or which the fourteenth day falls on or
next follows the day of vcrnaI equinox
Easter is fixed wholly by the ecclesiastical
calendar, and neither by the lunar nor the
solar year as such. In 1886 it occurs
