STRENGTH FROM FOOD.
BUT THE FOOD MUST BE D1GEs1Er

There is no way TO get strong without food.
Food is the strength maker.
just enough food, properly digested,
makes the strong and healthy man or
woman. Too much, too little, or even the
right quantity, not isested, will make any
body weak.
The beginning of all sickness is weakness.
The beginning of all weakness is indigestion.
So to keep strong, look after your digestion.
That is the most important point of all.
When your food ferments in your stomach
and forms gas, causes dizziness, nausea,
bad taste, sick headache, full feeling, nerv-
business, irritability, ETC., you have indiges-
ton. You are losing part of your life.
Every hour you are sick causes a loss OF
strength.
The way to cure it is to take Shaker Diges-
tive Cordial. A few doses will relieve. If
you take it long enough you will regain the
strength you have lost.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is made from
herbs and plants by the Shakers of Mount
Lebanon. 1t contains very strong digestive
tonic properties. 1t creates strength 1t
makes your food make you strong and bright
and healthy. 1t clears your complexion and
strengthens your body against disease. If
you want to get strong and well, try bot
lie.

was arrested today on a capias at the
instigation of Hamilton & Cleaves of
Biddeford. Mr.. Moore is the whse,man
whose bicycle was demolished by a COL
llsion with John F. Bryant of Pine
Point. on the road from Kennebunk to
Portland, year ago last spring, and
who brought suit in the Cumberland
county superior court to recover dam
ges. claiming that Bryant was driving
on the wrong side of the road and was
responsible for the collision. Bryant, in
defense, declared that Moore was riding
at high rate of speed, with bis head
down, and frightened the horse. The
jury, at the trial last fall, gave vsrdict
for the defendant.
Moore was backed In his suit by the
Maine Division, League of American
Wheelmen. An appeal was taken in the
case, but after being carried from term
to term the action was dropped. The
defendants costs have not yet been set
tied. Secretary Richardson of the league
recently received letter from Hamilton
& Clsaves calling for payment of the
costs. He referred the letter to Mr.. W.
Fl. Looney, attorney for Moore, with
instructions to notify the opposing
counsel thas the payment would be made
as soon as the correctness of the fgures
were verified. MIR. Looney claims that he
notified the Biddford attorneys as in
struoted.
The eapias on which Mr.. Moore was
arrested today was issued ut the request
of the BidcefoFd law firm, and both he
and the league officials are indignant at
what they consider unfair treatment.
Mr.. Moore gave six months bond and
secured his release. The Maine division
of the league will relieve him from any
expense in the matter.
