The Colonial Tea.

The evening of April 9th is the time, and
Washington Hall the place, for the Colonial
Tea, heretofore mentioned, to be served by
the lady managers of the Mems Reading
Room. A feature of the function, aside from
the good things with which the tables will
be supphed, will be articles Of an antique
character-pOrtraits, glass and china curios
Of the olden time. The ladies hope to have
an aggregation of interesting things on exhi-
bition in the loan department, and to make
this feature q success beyond preadventure
they invite their friends in town and coun-
try to interest themselves along this line
A spinning jerry, gown, cup and saucer
the loan Of anything in this line that has a
colonial history will be acceptable. The
Reading Room is an institution that should
be fostered by our people and every effort
of the ladies to secure funds to deiray the
expenses incident thereto is highly COM
mendable. Help them by your coutribu-
tions and otherwise.

Indigestion is often taken for consumption.
The word consumption means wasting away
and dyspeptics often waste away as badly as
COnsumptyeS.
The reason people waste away is because
either they don't get enough TO eat or they
don't digest what they do eat.
If the latter is your trouble, take Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial This will help you to digest
your food and stop your loss of flesh.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is made from herbs,
banks aud the juices Of fruit, by the we'll
known Shakers at Mount Lebanon. 1t pos
sesses great tonic and digestive powers.
Shaker Digestive Cordial has cured many
supposed consumptives lwho were really, dys-
peptics) by simply helping their stomachs to
digest their food thus giving them nOurish-
ment and new strength.
Sold by druggists. Trial bottles 10 cents.
