What use is there in eating when food does
you no good-in fact, when it does you more
harm than goodI for such is the case if it is
not digested.
If you have loathing for food there is no
of forcing it down, for it will not be di-
gested. You must restore the digestive organs
to their natural strength and cause the food to
be digested, when an appetite will come and
with it relish for food.
The tired, languid feeling will give place to
vigor and energy, then you will put flesh on
your bones and become strong. The Shaker
Digestive Cordial as:made by the Mt. Lebanon
Shakers contains food already dgested and is
a digester Of food as well. Its action is prompt
apd its effects permanent.

How many suicides, think you, reader, have
been committed by persons driven distraught
and hunted to their doom by the demon of
chronic ill health? Countless. For instance,
we know, do we not, that hypochondriasis is
a monomania-a sort of minor madness pro-
duced by chronic dyspepsia? Again. insomnia,
or sleeplessness, often u result of the same
cause, eliminates in derangement of the rea-
soning faculties. 1t 49, therefore. of moment
Gus consequence to prevent tue arrival of dis
ease at its chronic phase, when it daily and
nightly scUurges the sufferer to dangerously
uncertain goal. No medicine known to science
as a means of arresting the maladles to which
it is adapted exists equal to Hostetter's Stom-

chronic indigestion and insomnia, kidney and

The Queen Mother.
Winged males and females are produced
during the summer, and almost imme-
diately take their nuptial flight. The males
soon perish, and the females shortly after
ward tear off their own wings, which are
but feebly attached, and set about the
establishment of new colonies. The eggs,
which are produced in extraordinary num-
bers by the usually solitary queen mother,
are very minute, oval, whitiSh objects, and
are cared for by the workers, the young
larvae being fed in very much the same
way in the colonies of the hive bee. The
so-called ant eggs, in the popular concep-
tion, are not eggs at ALL but the white
larvae and pupae, and if of females or
males, are much larger than the workers
and many times larger than the true egg.
AS a house species the red ant (Mono-
morium pharaonis Linn) is the common
one. 1t is practically cosmopolitan, and it's
exact origin is unknown. This species,
nesting habitually in the walls of houses
or beneath flooring, is often difficult to
eradicate. There is no means of doing this
except to locate the nest by following the
workers back to their point of entrance
