NATURAL FAT.
GETTING FAT u ONLY A QUESTION
OF EATING PROPER FOOD.

Thin people who want to get fat SHOULD
eat proper food and digest 1t.
That is the only natural way.
/ The trouble with most thin people II
that they suffer from Indigestion.
They don't digest their food. They
don't get enough nourishment. They are
slowly being starved. They are poisoned
by the products Of fermented and putrid
food.
Shaker Digestive Cordial, gentle. nat
ural, vegetable digestive. attacks the
food in your stomach just like the diges-
tive juices. and turns 1t into healthful
nourishment. 1t helps your stomach nat
urally. 1t makes thin dyspeptics fat 1t
makes poisonous blood pure. 1t tones up
and cures the stomach.
Nothing viii cure indigestion like Shak-
er Digestive Cordial because nothing else
goes so naturally about It,
This is why it has been so successful in
relieving nausea. vomiting. dizziness
weakness, bad taste, fever fiatuIence
constipation. loss of appetite. headache
neuralgia, rheumatism. etc. by curing
the disorder which causes the symptoms
A few doses will prove its value, but
you won't get fat on one bottle

of the handful of honest politicians who
are leading the free silver craze. They
have found n real or fanced ailment in

right it with a greater wrong. Such

as much as was coined during the whole

The coinage of standard silver dollars

THE CAMPAIGN.
Bynum Says Sound Money is Gain
ing in the Western States.
Usual Mess Of Campaign Lies Being Started
by Desperate Silyerites.

New York, Oct. 5.-Congressman By
mum, chairman Of the national golt
Democratic committee. arrived a
headquarters here, today. 1.-THE soun,
money sentiment in the West is grow
ing" said he. The organization OF
the sound money Democracy and tht
nomination of Palmer and Buckner has
given it an affirmative issue and the
movement is becoming stronger every
day. The battle ground is in the states
in the Mississippi valley. and the tri-
| umph of the principles of sound money
| depends upon the strength of our
movement in that section.
without the organization of our
forces and an aggressive campaign,
the free silver campaign would have
swept across the middle Western states
like a prairie fire. No force has exr
erted such powerful influence in
checking the free silver sentiment in
the West as has the action of the
sound money Democrats in taking the
field upon the Democratic platform un-
der the leadership Of a Democratic can
didate

eur movement. The political power in
this oountry is in the West and Will
remain there for all time. and If our
friends in the East want to aid in the
development of a sound money senti-
ment in that section, now is the time
to do it. If this movement fails we
will not recover from the effects of our
defeat in a quarter of century. With
in the next 10 days we hope to have at
least 50 speakers Of national reputation
and several hundred campaigners on
the stump in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky.

connection, direct or Indirect with any
such coal trust. and he did not know Of
the existence of any such trust except AZ

Mr. Hanna. when asked today. what
truth there was in the report that he had
written a letter to an intimate friend in
which 'he conceded the election of

able to control the labor vote, y said the
report was absurd.

Sir William declared that he was

PH'lADsLPHIANs WIN.
Iadc Final Cricket Match With the Australian
Eleven. 282 to 222.

Ihiiadelphla, Oct. 5.-The cricketers
OF Philadelphia won a great and mer-
tied victory over the Australians by
defeating them. this afternoon, by an
inning and Go runs in the concluding
days play of the third and last match
of the series. In rhe first inning. the
Australians made III runs. The Phila-
delphians then went in and scored 2S2
runs. The Australians were retired in
their second inning for total of 101.
The result of the last match reflects
crViit upon the pluck and skill of the
nome players, as in the first two
matches they seemed badly outclassed
by the Antipodeans. The first two
matches went to the credit of the Wis
itors by margin of l23 runs in the
first game in two innings, and by an
inning and II runs in the second. BY
these two defeats the Phladelphians
learned good lesson and by hard
practice completely reversed their form
in the match just closed
The visitors played way below the
form they showed in the first two
matches. and We're as completely out
classed by the Philadelphians as they
had previously been superior to them.
The exhibition of batting given by the
visitors. this morning. was not above
the form that any respectable second
eleven would show. After the retire
ment of Giffen it was simply a process
sion of batsmen to and from the
wicket.
The weather was showery and cold
and but few spectators were present.
The Australians will leave here, to-
night. for Chicago, where they play the
Wanderers Club of that city.
