While s;ck-spell is one of the easiest things
in the world to accumulate, it is equally easy to
remain well by the exeyicise of little care, and
is the great irst cause " of sickness. The clog
ged and inactive digestive organs poison the
blood with all manner of noxious impurities,
which in turn are deposited in all the tissues and
organs of the body. If this condition is neg

If we could trace dyspepsia to its
source, it would lead back to our kitch-
ems. In fact, the secret of good health
is good cooking. 1t we'll cooked, foods
are partially dlgested If poorly cook
ed, they are less digestible than In their
raw state. If you are a victim Of faul-
ty cooking; that Is If you suffer from
Dyspepsia, the rational cure must be
looked for in an artifcially digested
food, and food which Will at the
same time aid the digestion of other
foods. Such preparation virtually
rests the tired digestive organs, thereby
restoring them to their natural strength.
The Digestive cordial as prepared by
the Shakrs OF Mount Lebanon, is just
such preparation, and single 10 cent
bottle will convince you of its value.
If your druggist doesn't keep it, he will
be glad to get it through his wholesale
house.

Borax costs more than
soap. There is no induce

makers to use it for profit.
Borax softens the wash

Consequently it is good

NOTES OF THE CAME.

Meridens have again gone home with out being able to lower the colors of the New Eavens and their home record is still unbroken. Fine play was con- spicuous by it's absence last night, both teams indulging in what might be term ed a slugging game. Of the two teams the Meridens showed the better com bination. Kirwin put up a great game and but for his splendid play there Is no saying how big 8 score New Haven might have rolled up. The cranks were greatly relieved when they saw Spencer put in an appearance and gave him a hearty welcome.
 The New Ravens played slower than usual last night and depended more on their sharp driving than on their usual fine passing play. It was all exciting finish and the local team won rather luckily. The ball struck Warner who was in front of Kirwin, who was thus unable to see the ball coming.
 Mallory played his usual game.
 Spencer for a cripple did wonderfully we'll and Williams put up some fine work. F. Gavitt also played well, but his brother, E. Gavitt, was at times Very slow and seemed tired out.
 Before the next game the rink will be enlarged by thirty feet New Britains will be the first to cross swords on it.
