RESPECT FoR THs FLAG.
One of tAc First Lessons That u
Taught at West Point.

One of tac First Lessons Tint u
Tausist at West Point.
The new cadet at the National Mill
tary academy. whether he has come
from the little country school with its
homemade flag and staff, or from the
big school where floats sometimes a
city school where floats sometimes q
flag big enough to cover half the roof
of the other school. has been taught
to respect the beautiful emblem OF his
N)untry; but he will learn az West
Point. as soon as he begins his career
as n future officer Of the army, how
thoroughly he is TO be trained to honor
it in his daily life. The laughing school
boy salute he has perhaps given the
flag from time TO time now becomes
a matter Of sober ceremony. so rigidly
required and handsomely ordered that
it at once sets him TO thinking; and
.he good, sound patriotism that was in
him all along soon envelops every
glimpse and ceremony of the colors
with a sacredness that will deepen day
by day.
One of his first lessons is to dcff mis-
cap each time he passes the color llue'
where the color is guarded by a senii-
mel. Every summer the cadets pass Sow
eral months in camp on the lovely banks
of the Hudson. and beneath the grand
old trees Of the academy grounds.
During certain hours Of the day a
long line of stacked rifles extends along
the front of the camp. Across toe two
stacks in the center C the line is laid
the color. rolled about IFS STAFF. Up
and down by this flag marches a natty
cadet sentinel. and woe be unto The I'M
lucky cadet who tries TO pass this sa-
cred trust without raising his cap.
So during his life at the academy
this lesson of respect is continued. and
when he has "doffcd the cadet and
donned the brevetrnd changed the gray
fer the blue" and reported for duty
with his regiment. he finds the same
lessons being taught the enlisted men.
and then probably for the first time does
he realize the fun importance Of those
early lessons taught in that PARKWAY
schoolhouse.-Lieut. b. W. Atkinson. in

GETTING FAT Is ONLY A QUESTION
OF EATING PROPER FOOD.

Thin people who want TO get fat should
eat proper food and digest IL.
That Is the only natural way.
The trouble with most thin people is that
they suffer from indigestion.
They don't digest their food. They
don't get enough nourishment. They are
slowly being starved. They are poisoned
by the products of fermented and putrid
food.
Shaker Digestive Cordial, gentle, nat
ural, vegetable digestive, attacks the feod
in your stomach just like the digestive
juices, and turns it into healthful nourish-
ment. 1t helps your stomach naturally.
1t makes thin dyspeptics fat. 1t makes
poisonous blood pure. 1t tones up and
cures the stomach.
Nothing will cure indigestion like
Shaker Digestive Cordial, because nothing
else go 80 naturally about it.
This Is why it has been 30 successful in
relieving nausea, vomiting, dizziness,
weakness, bad taste, fever fiatulence, con-
stipation, loss Of appetite, headache, neu-
ralgia, rheumatism, ETC., by curing the
disorder which causes the symptoms.
A few doses will prove its value, but you
won't get fat on one bottle.
