What use is there in eating when food
does you no good-in fact, when it does
you more harm than good, for such is
the case if it is not digested? If you
have loathing for food there is no use
of forcing it down, for it will not be di-
gested. You must restore the digestive
organs to their natural strength and
cause the food to be digested, when an
appetite will come, and with it a relish
OF food. The tired, languid feeling will
give place to vigor and energy; then
you will put flesh on your bones and
become strong. The Shaker Digestive
Cordial as made by the Mount Lebanon
Shakers contains food already digested
and is digester of food as well. Its &C
ton is prompt and its effects permanent,
Doctors prescribe LAXOL because il
has all the virtues of castor oil and il
palatable.

charges against Policeman Waters Of Chief

These charges have been held up in the commit

were the members, since last February. These
must be acted upon. and what this will lead to
no man can predict to-day.
The new Commissioner SO far has consulted
only with Commissioners Andrews and Moss,
and 1t Is plain enough that he sympathizes with
them and will probably vote with them; but,

will ask to be allowed to retro forthwith. His
