Resolved, That while we bow in sub1nis-

our Grange has sustained in the death of
SISTER Edith, while knowing that our loss is

Gone from the dear ones who loved her so fondlv
Gone from the home her sweet presence made

Dumb the sweet voice and its words glad and

The casket you buried, the gem is above,
In Paradise holy and biissfully singing
With angels sweet songs of salvation and love.

the fraternal hand of sympathy and direct
them in their great sorrow to the Giver of all
Good who doth not willingly atfiict the

investigation now in progress i'll New York.
The Arbuckles, who do a large package
coffee business, had falling out with the
sugar trust and after buying of a competing
concern proposed to start refinery and
make their own sugar. Then, as is claimed
the sugar trust concluded to 90 into the
coffee business, and bought a majority of
the stock of the Wooison Spice Co. This
company was capitalized at 100000 and

quoted at $3.50. The company paid a divi-
dend last year of fifty per cent on its nomi-
nal capital, or nearly one hundred per cent
on its actual capital, The price of coffee to
middlemen was put down by the Have
meyers to Is cents, which the Arbuckles

When person is losing flesh and wasting
away there is cause for alarm. Nothing so
worries a physician. Consumptives would
never die if they could regain their usual
weight In fact there would be no consump-
tion if there was no wasting of the system.
The cause of this loss of flesh is a failure to
properly digest the food eaten. Nne-tenths
of all our diseases ate back to some de-
rangement of the stomach.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial will stop
this wasting of the body. 1t acts by caus-
ing the food we eat to be digested to
do good, for undigested food does more
harm than good. The Cordial contains food
already digested and is digester of foods
as well.

survivals OF Medieval Time.

The tive-pointed stars in our flag
and the six-pointed stars in our coin
age are odI survivals Of medieval
hera!dry. When the designs for the
U"ited States flag were made France
wis Il friennl. power and the de-
signer of the flag followed French
heraldry in the use Of five pointed
stars in the azure. The colonies al
ready had a coinage which was cop
led from that Of Great Britain In
British heraldry the six printed star
was used and the colonial coinage
copied this popularity from the med
ais and coats Of arms Of English
royal and noble houses. Thus the
stars Of our flag are emblematic Of
France and those of orr coinage of
England. 1t should be noted, how,
ever, that the coin use OF the star is
not uniform, for eve on the two
sides Of the same coin a difference ID
observable, the silver gu .rters hav-
ing s~ix-pointed stars on the diverse
and stars with five points on the re-

about a very rare cent called the
Fugio cent. owned by a New York
man, supposed to be che earliest coin
issued by authority OF this Govern

"Fucio" cents bore the stamp "I797,"
as directed by the Congress ct the
United States Of that year. @. II.
Bates, a grocer of 22l3 East Fifteenth
street, has a "Fugio" cent which cor
responds exactly with that Of the
New York man, except that the date
it bears ID not 1897. but 1888. There
is no doubt of the genuineness of Mr..
Bates coin, which ID probably the
oldest coin issued by the United
