If we could trace dyspepsia to its
source, it would lead back to our
kitchens. In fact, the secret of good
health is good cooking. If well
cooked. foods are partially digested;
if poorly cooked they are less digest
ible than in their raw state. If you
are victim If faulty cooking. that
is il YOU suffer from dyspepsia. the
rational cure mnst lie looked for in
an artiiicially dige,ted food, and a
food which viii at the same time aid
the digestion of other foods Such a
preparation virtually rests the tired
digestive organs thereby restoring
them to their natural strength.
The Digestive Cordial. as prepared
by the Sha ,ers OF Mount Lebanon, is
just such preparation, and sin
gle 10 cent bottle will convince you
OF its value. If your druggist doesn't

THE LOUD BILL.
Great Interest Among Publishers and
Paper Men on Its Outcome,
Clause Refusing Sample Copies - Benefits
Of Second Class Rates.

Considerable local interest has been
awakened in the Loud bill legislation.
now before Congress, which has some
effect ON the story papers and similar
periodicals published in this and other
cities
The Loud bill, presented 70 tie House
of Representatives by the chairman OF the
committee on post offices and post roads,
is now on the calendar and awaiting the
action Of that body. 1t is not yet law
and nothing has been done further than to
report it to that body from the committee
on post offices and post roads.
This bill seeks to exclude all paper
bound Libraries, sample copies Of periodicals
and trade or benefit society papers from
the second class rates Of postage cent n
pound. The bill also puts restrictions
which have not before existed on all
papers, and which, some publishers claim,
under its provisions, a subscription copy
of periodical could not be carried at
pound rates unless the subscription were
prepaid.
The postal department is earnestly
favorable to such legislation, as it is
claimed that all periodicals are now carried
at loss Of SIS. 600 600 a year, which
would make the department moro than
self-supporting II this state Of things did
not exist. The paper and library publish
ers on he other hand, declare that II e
papers, even if carried at a loss to Il G
government, are for the benefit OF the pee
pie, and that the low postage rate allows
them to obtain good literature at tic
lowest rates; that there is no reason why
the post Office department., which is nearest
to the people, should be run Mt profit,
while all other departments, such as the
army, navy, etc, have no income outside
Legislative appropriation whatever: also
that very great part Of the postal income
is the result of business resulting from
the papers themselves and advertising in
them
The Loud bill was put through the
committee and placed before the Hsuse
against all previous custom and without
public hearing. But as soon as 1t was
known, papers all over the country at
tackled it rs "A blow at low priced literature
and rs being III favor of book publishers
and the express companies.
Vigorous work has been done by in
terested parties both for and against the
bill, and much has been printed in the
public press relative to it.
1t is practically the same bill which was
overwhelmingly defeated few years ago
in Congress. The only interest which
publishers in this city have in the present
bill is the clause refusing sample copits
the benefits Of this rate.
There is great interest in the outcome
of the proposed bill among all publishers
and paper men, who look on this as blow
at their industries and at all labor con
nected with the publishing, paper, print
ing and kindred trades.
