If we could trace Dyspepsia to its
source it would lean back to our kitch-
ems. In fact, the secret of good health
is good cooking. Ii we'll cooked, foods
are partially digested; if poorly cooked,
they are less digestible than in their
raw state. If you are victim of faulty
cooking, that is, if you suffer from Dys-
pepsia, the rational cure must be looked
for in an artificially digested food, and
food which will at the same time aid
the digestion of other foods. Such a
preparation virtually rests the tired di-
gestive organs, thereby restoring them
to their natural strength.
The Digestive Cordial as prepared by
the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, is just
such preparation, and single 10 cent
bottle will convince you of its value. If
your druggist doesn't keep it, he will be
glad to get it through his wholesale

The stone dam at this place was
finished Friday Jan. l. The last stone
having been laid in place at 1t.4O a. m,
on that day. This dam has been a long
time in process of construction. The
high water of the fall of 1895 drove the
workmen from the job and caused much
delay and loss. In the following March
the ice freshet again stopped the work
and caused great loss to the contractors.
The spring freshet again damaged the
work by carrying away the Golfer dam.
A new Golfer dam was built az soon as
the water had subsidized and work was
resumed upon the masonry. The
famous "dog hole" was filled up and is
no more, and finally the last gap was
closed Jan. list. The first stone was
laid Aug, "a, 1895, at sos a. M, and the
first cap stone Sept. at II o'clock a. m.
