Electric Bit,crs.

Electric Btters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen.
orally needed when the languid, ex-
hausted feeling prevails, when the liver
is torpid and sluggish and the need of a
tonic and Alternative is felt. A prompt
use Of this medicine has often averted
long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers.
No medicine will act more surely in
counteracting and freeing the system
from the malarial poison. Headache,
Indigestion. Constipation, Dizziness
yield to Electric Bitters. SOC. and
Sl.00 per bottle at f. L. Aliens Drug

Is it "overwork" that has filled this
country with nervous dyspeptics THAT
takes the flesh of their bones, the Vi
tality from their blood, and makes
them feeble, emaciated and inefficient =?
No. 1t is bad cooking, overeating of
indigestible stuff, and other health-de-
stroying habits.
The remedy is an artifcially digested
food such as the Shaker Digestive
Cordial. Instead OF irritating the al
ready inhamed stomach the Cordial
gives it chance to rest by nourishing
the system itself and digesting other
food taken with it, So flesh and
strength return. Isnot the idea ration
al? The Cordial is palatable and re-
lieves Immediately. No money risked
to decide on its value. A 10 cent trial
bottle does that.

To INCREASE LICENsEs.-When the
books showing the assessment of license
taxes agreed upon for the ensuing year
by the finance committee of the coun.
Gil are exposed for public inspection in
the auditors Office this spring, there
will probably be big surprise therein
for people engaged in certain occupa-
tons.
Licenses in some cases will be
doubled. 1t comes from good source
that there are 6S liquor dealers and sa-
loon keepers salated for big increase
in their license tax.
Some lawyers, it appears, will be
asked to pay double as much for their
license TO practice as now, and the
large retail stores will probably be re-
CURED to pay separate licenses for con-
Quoting the various departments, which
are now permitted to come under a
single license taX-Riclmond State.

no you recollect what

grated Apples ? [
have reduced the price
again, this time to 7c.
You would never get
them at that price if [
had not too many,
some 500 pounds, and
want to sell them
promptly. What | have
are very fancy, and
they are much cheaper
than green apples at
rs cents a peck. Yes,
| know you can buy
some green apples at
20 cents, but thew are
poor stuff. You have
to cut away at least a
third before they are
fit to use. A pound OF
evaporated apples is
equal to a half peck
Of green apples and
no trouble to cut up.
Make your own calcu-
lation as to which is
cheaper.
