According to n celebrated anatomist
there are upwards of 100000 little
glands in the human stomach These
glands pour out the digestive Juices
which dissolve or digest the food. In
digestion is want of juice, weakness of
glands, need OF help to restore the
health OF these organs. The best and
most natural help is that given by
Shaker Digestive Cordial Natural be
cause it supplies the materials needed
oy the glands TO prepare the digestive
Juices. Because it strengthens and in
vigorrtes the glands and the stomach,
untl they are able to do their work
alone. Shaker Digestive Cordial cures
indigestion certainly and permanent
ly. IL does so by natural meaus, and
therein lies the secret of its wonderful
and UNMARRIED success.

Another Chance for Republicans to Explain,
During and Immediately following the
last session of the Legislature RepublI-
can papers made plenty Of noise about
the parslmOnious appropriations for
State institutions. The amounts given
were so small, they said, that several
OF the institutions would be seriously
crippled and all Of them would be much
hampered In their work. Then these
were followed with long and labored
articles tending to show that the Pop
ulists had no regard for the welfare Of
the State institutions, for the comfort
Of the unfortunates or the general good
of the State, and that 1t would require
many years time for these institutions
to acquire the high rank from which
they would fall because Of this false
and vicious economy" After while
that sort of talk, like all such things
emanatlng from these papers, wore out.
The statements were so ridiculous and
so at variance with the facts that In
few short months they had managed to
forget themselves. And now a new tune
In a different key has been composed
A temporary deficiency in the general
fund in the State treasury is the Occa-
sion for its appearance. Republican pa
pers now say that this condition Is due
to reckless and eXtravagant appropria-
tions by the Legislature and IMPROVE
dent management by Populist officers
These institutions which were to be
crippled by the Legislature are now con-
suming so much of the States money
that a deficiency results is what they
say. The readers Of these papers must
be very gullible lot of people or else
their gray matter is never sufficiently
agltated to enable them to see through
the inconsistencies which are dished up
to them as party gospel.
