airy treasure for 33 years. Under the
eyes of Ainsworth r. Spofford the Ii
bIary has grown from infancy to vigor-
Gus virility. Mr.. Spofford was appoint
ed by Abraham Lincoln in 1864. and has
held his position without INTERRUPTION
or political intervention from that sla te
until the present.
The new congressional library build
ing, which is now being celebrated
both in song and story, is the result
of the continuous and persistent eff
forts on the part of Mr.. Spotford to in
duce congress to make proper provision
for the rapidly wealth OF
learning.
Col. John L. Smithmeyer. of Austrian
birth. came to this country in ls47. IA
weli-equipped civil engineer, with con
siderable learning in architecture. To
him was committed the task IF prepar-
ing plans for the new library building
which was authorized by congress He
did the work with exceptional skill. and
everybody who has seen the work de-
clares that the library is the most beau
tiful building on earth, not excepting
Tai Mahal, the famous building OF
beauty on the upper Ganges. in India
Col. Smithmeyer never received pay
from the government for his work
and now has claim pending before
congress for compensation for his in
telIectual labor. His claim will prob
ably be like all other claims of that char
acter. The government is not honest.
1t is not likely that Col. Smithmeyer
will ever receive the compensation due
HIM for his magnificent work.

YOUR PALATE is YOUR STOM-
kcHS CONSCIENCE.
YOUR STOMACH KNOWS WHAT Is
GOOD FOR YOU,

Thin people are thin because the food
they eat is not absorbed. Reasons. either
wrong food, or right food undigested.
Fat oils and grease will not make any
one fat. This is because they are indiges-
tible. Thin people find it hard to digest
their food. Fatty foods make 1t still
harder.
Have you ever noticed that almost
without exception, thin. pale. dyspeptic.
anaemic people have an aversion to fat ?
This is of itself proof enough that such
foods are bad for them.
Let you palate tell you what to eat.
Nature makes very few mistakes and we
should listen to what she says
Thin people may become fatter. and
dyspeptics more comfortable by taking
the Shaker Digestive Cordial. 1t agrees
with the weakest stomach. 1t helps the
weak stomach digest other food. 1t is
fattenng and invigorating in itself. for
it contains artlfically dgested food.
The Mount Lebanon Shakers have made
IA great many interesting discoveries with
in the past hundred years. but none more
important than this ingenious cure for all
diseases which are traceable to faulty
digestion. A single 10 cent bottle will tell
whether it is adapted to your case. and
can be had through any druggist.
