LIVER CLOGGING.
WHEN YOUR STOMACH CLOGS YOUR
LIVER SEE TO YOUR DIGESTION.

Not one person in thousand knows that
the cause of biliousness is the clogging of
the liver by the poisons of indigestion. Nor
that the only proper cure for it is a tonic to
aid the stomach. But modern medicine de-
clares the truth of it, And the Shakers
have proved it by the wonderful success of
their Shaker Digestive Cordial. One of the
most important uses of the liver lis to arrest
and destroy all poisons which try to find
their way into the blood. When it's clogged
1t can't do this.
Undigested food ferments and putrefies
in the stomach, and the poisons of putrefac-
ton clog and paralyze the liver, after
which they find their way into the blood.
Here is the true explanation of all the dis
ressing disorders and complications caused
by indigestion.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is the only tonic
cordial which aids the stomach in a natural
way to digest its food. By this means it
cures indigestion, restores the liver and
frees the body from poison and disease.
Headache, dizziness, neuralgia, menta
depression, weakness, bad taste, fever,
fiatulence, constipation, loss of appetite,
anaemia, rheumatism and many other dis
orders are relieved and cured by Shaker
Digestive Cordial.

political opponents, who, in reality, care
to see the bill only that they may perfect
their criticisms of it.
The usual way in making tariff bills
has been to invite those interested to ap-
pear and present their views; and the
committee has had to be governed largely
by what those appearing have told them.
And of conrse, human nature being as it
is, the interests concerned have tried all
manner of influences and parsuasions
on memb ers of the committee. Such is
the history of all tariff bills, whether
made by one party OF another, and
whether in one generation or another.
But tariff revision row is different
matter from what it was in 1890. There
have been five years of constant agitation
and study. Mr.. Dingley and other MEM
bers of his COMMITTEES have been leading
actors in these changes. Both Messrs.
Dingley and Payne were participants
in the making of tbs Mckinley bill, and
were on the committee when the "pop
gum bills and the Wilson bill were con-
sidered. MIR. Dalzell was Oh the COM
mittee in the Fifty-second and Fifty
third Congresses. So here are three mon

making than any man on the ways and

RYAN ANTICIPATES NO TROUBLE.
Mail sIeavice Will Not Be Inter,
ruptedl by the Strike.

Boston, Decel nber 24.-No trouble is
Anticipated by uperintendent Ryan of
the railway mail service regarding any
interference to the United States mail
cars Oh the part of the strikers. He said
he had heard not hing from the men who
operated the mail cars to infer that they
did not intend to continue at their work,
and he felt sure that the carrying Of the
lnails would go ,n with no interference
from the strikers.
The white mail brigade is made up of
eight regular osrs which carry the mails
over the West Emo. Strest railway track S
aid a special car. The government has
contract with the, railway company for
the transportation OF tho United States
mails and it woul be serious offence
for the strikers to Interfere with this
TRANSPORTATION in any way. The railway
company is therefore to run its mails
cars SO long as it can find the means to
do SO. Fhe reful'ai of man to go out
on car cannot be construed as an act of
interference accord ing 10 Mr.. Ryan, SO
long as the man does not board the car
ana leave it after mail is placed on board
of it.
President Young says he will seek no
further conference with the West End
people and that it, they want to settle the
strike the West End will have to go to
the workmsn. Other Unions working
for the West End will support the motor
men aud conductors. The fireEen, it is
Thought, will strife and put out the fires

THE GREAT STRIKE OVER.


result few CARS are running tonight
between Boston and Harvard Square,
Cambridge. Some 90 or so men have also
returned on division five (South BostoD).
The action taken by these men is thought
to indicate that the back bono of the
strike has been broken and the ranks of
the secedsrs will multiply rapidly until
the old men are all back In the former
places.
On the Charlestown division the stri k
ers declare that ii the men are brought
from New York or Brooklyn to take their
places there will surely be trouble as
they will not ALLOW themselves to be sup
planted by non-union men from those
cities Mt least. 1t was stated in the meet
ing of the Cambridge division council
tonight that their company had received
assurances from Mayor Quincy of Boston
that he would do all in his power to pre-
vent the West End company from en-
ploying green Or unskilled men to run
electric cRrs.

ANOTHER BANK GOES TO WALL.

Suspends.

Chicago. December 24.-A continued
run of two days made upon the
Calumet state bank at Blue Island, I'll /,
forced its officers to close the doors today.
Shortly after noon the assignm ent was
made by the bank in the county court.
'rhe deed of assignment gives the assets
ne $s7, 900; and liabilities as $685.
The deposits amount to about $50, coo.
The assets consists largely of securities
OF debntable value. II is said the secur-
itiss must be handled carefully to realize
anything like the value. The bank is
owned by stock company and has q
capital of s25, 900. The assignee claims
that if given tine the bank will pay the
depositors in full. The majority of Ge-
positors are said to be poor people.

United States public hearings are to a
great extent useless. There is SO much
talk that it rolls off the committee like
water off a ducks back. Mr.. Dingley
proposes much better way. He invites
all interested to reduce their views sue
cinctly to writing. and send them to the
committee. The communications are to
be taken by Mr.. Lord, clerk of the CON-
mittee, and by him classified and in
dexed. In this way, whenever subject
on schedule is considered, all the COM
munioations relating to 1T are at hand
just when wanted. Thus the written
communication is more effective than the
public hearing.
As has teen stated, the Republican
members are now at work on the bill,
holding private meetings in their conf
mittee room or on evenings at convenient
meeting places. They are doing the pre-.
Iiminary work; but soon the whole coin-
mittee will meet in their room at the
capitol around the long, mahogany table
with itssstop of blue cloth, on which the
industries Of the nation will be passed In
review.
A glance mt the mon who sit around
this table will in view of these facts be
of interest. At the head of the table sits
Mr.. Dinpley, for many years of high
reputation in Maine and too well know
there to need any introduction here. 1t is
sufficient to say that his knowledge of
the details of tariff making ia little less
than phenomenal, aud will be manifested
undoubtedly in every detail of the bill.
Next Mr., Dingley, on his right, sits
Congressman Serene e. Payne, Of New
York State. Mr.. Payne Is w4ll-known

spoken during che campaigns. He spoke
in Portland City hall with Governor
Cleaves during the last campaign. He
