False Reports Corrected.

The report has been widely circu-
lated that the West Virginia Legisla-
ture, at its recent session, abolished
the Preparatory School Of the Univer-
sity.
This is not true. No department OF
the University was interfered with.
As liberal appropriations We're made
for the support and development Of
the University as for any of the other
State Institutions.
The idea is also prevalent that a
partizan Board of Regents was created.
This is mistake. The Board of Re-
gents will continue to be composed OF
nine members-fve of one party and
four of the other.
The University is in hourishing
condition with the largest attendance
in its history and will probably reach
AIS or more for the year. Young men
and young women of the State, seek
ing an education can make no mistake
by coming to the University and avail
ing themselves of its splendid advan-

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 a loathing for food
there is no use of forcing it down, for
it will not be digested. 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 relish for food.
The tired, languid feeling will give
place to vigor and energy; then you
will put flesh on your bones and be-
come strong. The Shaker Digest
i've Cordial as made by the Mount
Lebanon Shakers contains food already
digested and is digester of foods as
we'll. It's action is prompt and its eff.
fects permanent.
