Food, undigested, is poison. Digested it is
life and strength. Millions of us suffer from
indigestion, but we often don't know it. We
think it is something else. Even doctors often
mistake the symptoms.
Pale, thin people, who. are overworked, who
need strength, who seem in want of proper
food, should take Shakers Digestive Cordial.
It is astonishing lwhat food will do, when
properly digested.
1t will make you strong, revive you. refresh
you, sustain you, make you fat. restore your
color, make muscle, brain fibre, courage, en- :
durance. energy; increase yonr power to
throw off disease and keep you healthy and
happy.
Indigestion does just the opposite. but in
digestion can be cured and prevented with
Shakers Digestive Cordial.

The West India committee is in constant
communi cation with the Government, urging

hopes that the influence of Mr.. Chamberlain
will be ex-rted in their behalf. The COM
mite is also IN Communication with promi-
merit foreign political and commercial bodies.
Regarding the question of the annexation
of the British West Indies to the United
States, be knew that among the planters
there was a strong feeling that they would be
.better treated if obsolled by the UDitgd
States.
Mr.. Neville Lubbock said if the West
Indies were to be ruined and England was
determined 10 have her cheap sugar, leaving
the West Indies to starvation. there was GER
tain to be much rieting and bloodshed. The
educated classes. srowers rnd others whose
money and interests were in the islands, were
nearly all patriotic Englishmen. But there
was an increasing feeling among them that
in the event. Of the refusal of England to
assist, there was but one alternative. the an
~nexation of the islands to the United States.
They would prefer to remain English if they
could, but not at the cost of financial ruin.
The United States would not allow an IN
dustry SO valuable TO the American people to
'be destroyed, aud when the time cam for the
West Indian colonies of Great Britain to De
taken over by the United States, it would not
be a question of purchase by the United
ntetes. AS the colonl.s seemed to be worth
nothing to England. she could rot offer to
sell, but must give them to the Unite States
West Indian sugar entering the United
States duty free, would suit the american
people and restore the finances of the islands
to a Furnishing condition within a few years.

Dear Sumah could be but his friend;
A friend beloved though, he could say,
To think Of. cen when far away.
Now cam, O, eat news from dear Cumsee,
The Count kotay was sad to be
Soon going 10 Osaka, there
To we'd a tilted lady fair.
Toki's first thought was OF Lales.
How hurt, how BUNDLED she WouiO De,
The next was of himself, would he
Still claim her. now her heart was free,
At once lie would 20 home and learn,
If she still loved him, could rsturn!.
He would be cautions there, he said.
Lacking her love 'twele mad to wed.
Then bidding his dear friends adleu,
He soon had once again IN view
The former scenes, but how much brighter
Now that his heart was 50 much lighter.
Cold was the air, but warm his heart, Z.
OF which hope held the greater phrt.
Swift Ger the sea his go5!! boat sailed,
And soon Cumsee's fair port Was hailed,
Toki midst friends his landing made.
And lust that Jay at home lie stayed
The next he went to see Lalee.
Poor Caution! What became of t'@"2
Soon as he saw that dear. sweet fnce,
ana mdIkt0 tI1VIOOh tAO ptOS
Of sorrow and regret, those eyes
He'd xazed ON oft with loves surprise,
Bright, loving eyes, suffused with tears,
Banished for ever were his fears;
His caution to the wild winds flew;
He loved her; that was all he knew;
And, telling her how much he'd missed her,
He gently drew her close and kissed her.
o happy happy Lee! to find
Naught but the old times borne IN mlnd,'
Like weary dove returned to rest,
She nestled to the loving breast,
And felt tie Joy of being forgiven,
A Joy that lifted her to heaven.
Toki then wrote his mountain friends,
Telling of bliss that made amends
For ali his pain; got kind reply
From his sporting friend the good Oshi,
And. with good wishes all aglow,
From the dear old auLts Omi, Ono,
While Sumah as a prophecies
Claimed praise, since she'd foretold of chess
That he would win his queen again,
Her inner meaning now made plain.
Happy the days in bright Cur1see
With Toki and his dear Lalec,
Sometimes he'd show her what be wrote
OF various O. iects worthy note
While he was voyaging to Owhere.
And tell her of his %sojourn there.
OF Sumah jealous, with small right,
The rest she found a great delight.
Among his notes by chance he'd left
His song, in which, Of her bereft,
He tells she's present in his hea1t,
And thence he'll never let her pant.
She read, and as sh. read she Wept,
How faithfully his love he'd kept! :
She rose and showed him, wtpt the more,
And, weeping, kissed nm DER and.o'tr.
Gently he soothed her, soothed i'll vain,
The tears and kisses came like rain.
At length the storm of love was Ger,
And then the sun. shone out once more,
Smiling, her light guitar she took,
And asked him, with a tender look,
If he would like to hear her sing
OF an Arab maid; then touched the t,ring
And sang with sw eetest VOICE this lay
