the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis

OF % reaction became so manifest two weeks

methods to secure the release of the men,

BILIOUS PILLlOUSNESS.
WHY SOME BILIOUS PEOPLE TAKE PILLS
AND OTHERS DON'T.
Dniousness is mueh mlsunderstood.

BihOusness is much misunderstood
So many people have it, that It's worth
understanding, the more so as it is easy
enough, if you begin right.
Liver secretes fluid called bile. Bile goes
to the iutestiues where it performs import
ant work In digestion Sometimes bile
passages in liver get clogged This is
biliousness.
"Piliousness" is the idea that by taking a
pill which stimulates the liver, we may cure
biliousness 1t is only an idea.
Pil-aking relieves but does not cure it,
The cure can only come through the stomach
Why
Biliousness is caused by the poison of
undigested food, irritating the liver To
cure biliousness, these poisons must be got
out of the stomach The only sure way to
do this is with Shaker Digestive Cordial.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is a pleasant,
tonic aid to digestion, prepared from roots,
herbs and wine by the Shakers of Mount
Lebanon, 1t helps the stomach to digest its
food, and sweeps out of the system all
dangerous poisons.
In this way it cures biliousness, headache,
nausea, dizziness, bad taste, stomach-ache,
fever, hatulence, constipation, loss Of appetite,
etc, when other remedies only give temper

a. to NATURALIZATION Paners.

Judge Pershing called attention to the
matter Of naturalization of foreigners. He
said ne had passed through a rather rough
experience last week, and was utterly unable
to get along as rapidly as he desired owing to
the crowd. His attention had been called to
the fact that aliens from other counties had
put in appearance and secured papers. While
the court had authority to grant such papers,
this court did not propose to naturalize any
aliens who did not live in the county. The
court would fix another day before the
November election for natumlizing all those
who wished papers. Judge Pershing further
said that he had received a communication
from party signing himself member of
the naturalization committee of one of the
political parties, in which it was stated the
law requiring the applicant for papers to pay
all expenses was unpopular. This was a
matter with which the court bad nothing to
do. The law required this and if il was dis
covered it was being violated, the papers
granted would be anuulled
