Indigestion is often taken for CON
sumption. The word consumption
means wasting away, and dispepties
often waste away as badly as consuml-
lives.
The reason people waste away is be
cause either they don't get enough TO
eat, or they don't digest what they do
eat.
If the latter is your trouble, take
Shakers Digestive Cordial. This will
help you to digest your food and stop
your loss of flesh
shaker Digestive Cordial is made from
herbs, barkS and the juices of fruit, by
the wcll-known Shakers at Mount Lcha-
non. 1t possesses great tonic and diges-
tive powers.
Shakers Digestive Cordial has cured
many supposed consumptives (who were
really dyspeptics), by simply helping
their stomachs to digest their food. thus
giving them nourishment and new
strength.

The Earm's Water SnnnlY.

The time is coming when buyers will
consider farm water supply before
its soil. The possibilities for irrigation
will, some day. be measured in dollars
and cents-aS they should be. We know
of strawberry grower who spent "A
long time hunting for farm-his chief
idea being to find place where he
could irrigate from the river. Such
men are what is termed long headed "
They think ahead of the crowd, and
thus secure valuable privileges for little
money. They see values where others
see only dirt-or water. Irrigation is
surely coming. Rural New Yorker.

What Maine Has Done.

The United States Department OF

the crops of the different States for 1905
are given. This shows that Maine raised

BY the table given Maine leads all the
New England States in the production Of
oats and hay and only Vermont exceeds
her in the production of barley the Green
Mountain State raising 0I9,678 bushels Of
that grain last year on an area of 10 068

the product exceedeq the value of the hay
crop by nearly million dollars, Mass
achusetts hay being valued as whole at

products accounts for the high figure
placed also on other agricultural products
raised in the old Bay state.

Loves Young Dream.
WHAT THE ATHENS "POsT" MAN
THINKS OF A KISS AND ITS
CONSEQUENCES.

Sweet is the springtime Of love,
when youthful hearts are permeated
by the poetry of moonlight. 1t
dawns when two young hearts begin
to bill and COO; and the young
man becomes pensive and affects
poetry and the young woman loses
her appetite, and becomes sentiment
tai, and vows tnat no one appreciates
her, and all the while Bob and Mat
tie keep spooning and incoming, un-
til their very words are sugared.
When she kisses him, he thinks
she's got a galvanic battery inside
her lips; and as the "Odoyle" burns
him, tingles clear down to the tip of
his box-toed shoes. Think of it!
Four eyes surcharged with languid
longing, a hasty survey of the
ground, an electric shock, as four
lips meet! How they do stick as if
they were glued together
A longdrawn, hungry, clinging
kiss-a melting, burning, ravishing
kiss, and then loud report, like a
cow pulling her foot out of the mud,
as their lips fly apart, and then a
deep sigh of profound satisfaction
But there are serious phases to this
babe in the wood" experience
Life Is not made up of sugar kisses
only, however luscious they may be.
And when the golden bells have
rung their sweet measure, and the
odor of orange blossoms died away,
the scales fall from their eyes and
they see each other as they are, two
very imperfect beings.
Now comes the tug of war! They
are going to get acquainted with
each other and disenchanted of their
illusions. And the first thing you
know they will be at it tooth and
toe nail, the first matrimonial tussel.
Don't do it. 1t is not worthy of the
sacred name of love. Cunjure up
tho sweet visions of the past, and
let the spring-time of love glide
sweetly into the golden summer of
domestic happiness.-Athens Post.
