If strength is what you want, you should
study what causes your weakness.
1t is practically lack Of food.
But you eat three meals day, and all
you can eat at a time.
Yes, but 90 you digest it?
Food undigested, is not food. 1t is not
nourishment.
1t doesn't create strength.
To digest your food take Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial at meals. After a while
you will digest your food without it. Then
you will get well, and strong and healthy
Shaker Digestive Cordial cures indiges-
ton and all its symptoms, such as nausea,
headache, quotations, pain in the stomach,

800 left.
A contemporary contains the following
account OF last weeks entertainment
"The entertainment given by the colored
400, local minstrel troupe, last Thursday
evening, was success in every particular.
About $50 tickets were sold, it being the
largest audience in the town hall since its
dedication even the standing chances being
mostly occupied. Misses Lena E. Cooke
and Eva Burge were the instigators of the
entertainment for the purpose OF buying a
carpet for the town hall stage. They sue
ceeded in interesting others until II had
joined the troupe, and they have reason tc
feel pleased with their success. The parts
were well taken and so well learned that
no break was made to the end. The inter.
locutress was the right person in the right
place, while the end men with tambos and
bones were we'll selected and no one wa,
deficient in the parts taken. The cornet
and trombone duet and the cornet solo
were fine; the songs and dances were
extra good the Jokes and local hits were
close but not Of the kind to displease
The military drill for a closing scene wa.
worth the price of admission, and lastly
the soldiers in drill paid homage to the
Goddess Of Liberty by kneeling before he
and singing ''America" while she Sc
qneenly stood upon her throne and waved
the star-spangled banner gracefully owe
their heads. A social dance followed til,
entertainment for which about 20 ticket
were sold and the full sum taken was 1921
What to do with the large sum left afte
buying the carpet has not been decided
but we think they would be justified il
dividing it between them as a just rewar,
for their work, they having previousl
given piano for use in the town hall"
