Dig down to the cause of your sick
ness, il you want to get well and stay
well. Most likely it's indigestion. The
irritating poisons of %fermentinp, putrid
food, left in the stomach by indigestion
causes headache, neuralgia, nervous.
ness, dizziness, stomachache, nausea,
irritability, and all the other well
known symptoms of indigestion.
They also cause many pains and dis.
orders which are often laid to other
causes and hence are not easily cured.
But as soon as the poisons are removed
all these symptoms and disorders dis.
appear, because there is nothing left
to cause them. Nothing succeeds in
like Shaker Digestive Cordial, be.
cause it prevents the undigested food
from %fermenting in the stomach and
helps the stomach to digest its food.

Cellulous, the New Corn Stalk Product.
The Kansas City Star recently print.
ell the first full recount that has been
given to the public Of the new industry
OF making valuable products from dry
corn stalks. A factory is in operation
in Kentucky and another in Illinois,
and plans for eight more have been
completed, SD that the new industry
can no longer be u mere experiment.
When the announcement was made
some months ago that a great Philadel.
phia ship building firm was about to
embark in this curious industry of sep
arating the pith from the outer cover.
ing of corn stalks, the project was
looked upon as rather visionary, and
most people doubted whether there
was any truth in the story. But corn
stalk c%ellulous, as the new product is
called, is today an article of commerce
and the men who control the patents
for its manufacture assert that there is
practically no limit To- the demand for
it, and that ultimately the corn stalk
product Of the eighty million acres Of
corn in the United States may be util.
lied. To most people the fact that the
dry outer covering of the corn stalks,
ground in % meal, should he found to
be as valuable food for stock worth as
much per ton as timothy hay, is almost
as surprising as the discovery that the
pure pith of the corr stalk is worth
several hundred dollars per ton, afor
various commercial purposes. If this
new industry develops into as large
proportions as those best acquainted
with its possibilities expect it to do, it
will add many millions every year to
the wealth of the United States. Be.
sides giving men employment in an in.
dustry that will not compete with any
other business, it will enormously add
to the value Of the farm products of
the United States. Thousands Of farm.
ers who raise corn will have the reve-
nue. from their fields increased

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered Win
Scrsfuious Humors - How o Cure
Was Effected.
"when five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
II appeared in the form Of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and tho
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
II to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles OF Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out OF his
blood and II has never since returned"

A western Kansas man, we believe
from Oberlin, has invented a lamp
which separates water into its gases
so they can be burned. At the same
time the flame is used to make more
gas to feed the lamp. II the Kansas
mans lamp is a uccess as he claims it
is he has struck the greatest invention
of the age. Chemists have known for
a long time that water had the stuff in
1t to make a good light or fire. The
question was how to resolve the water
elements. II the water can be turned
into gas and the gas used to turn more
water into gas, then the question of
fuel is solved, as we'll as light. A bar

WASHINGTON T

The outlook for the ratification of
the treaty for the annexation of Hawaii
by the senate is believed in Washing
ton to have materially improved during
the past week, Notwithstanding the in
creased efforts of the lobbyists to add
TO the sentiment against annexation.
The public reason for this is given as
the belief OF a number OF senators who
have heretofore been indifferent to-
wards annexation that the requirement
OF a big slice Of China by Germany
and the probable requirement Of Chi.
nese territory by England, France and
Russia has changed the situation and
made 1t almost an absolute necessity
that this country should own Hawaii,
In order to protect its interests In the
Pacific. A reason given privately Is
that some OF the senators who had
themselves placed on the doubtful list
merely did so to increase their chances
for obtaining desired patronage, and
that having succeeded they have in.
formed the president Of their willing.
ness to vote for annexation. There IS
still another reason. too. Prominent
democrats in various SECTIONS of the
country have been arguing with the
democratic senators for the purpose of
convincing them thai in view of the
previous attitude Of the party toward
the acquisition Of territory by the gov.
ernment, not to mention the present
popularity Of annexation, 1t would be
a grave mistake to have the democratic
party charged with the responsibility
OF defeating annexation, and, it is said,
that some Of them have been convinced.

they were up to the high mark"

We brought home corn two ears to the

big enough for sheets for single bed;
and cotton as high as your head with

CITY IN BRIEF.

NEW FIRE BOX. NO. 17.-Chief L..
A. Mailer, of the fire department, yes
terday had a new alarm box placed on
the corner of Wilmington and Lane
streets. The new box is No. IL.
A NEW PAPER.-The talk of an
other newspaper in Raleigh has been
started again. This time it is a new
evening paper. 1t was said yesterday
that plans for it had been about per-
fected.
NEW MISUNDERSTANDING of
State yesterday Incorporated the Lexing-
ton Furniture Company, of Davidson
county for period of thirty years. The
Incorporate tors are Nj. Is. Gray, Ada tray
and J. r. Plummer.
THROWING ROCKS.-A warrant
was yesterday issued by the Mayor for
white boy, charging him with throw
ing rocks and breaking gas lamps. This
might be taken as a warning by other
boys who engage in this sort of past
time.
A MOONSHINE OUTFIT.-United
States Marshal Carroll will. on Septem-
Der 2, have sale of seized property be-
longing to N. w. Porter, of Johnston
county. 1t consists of two copper stills,
two worms, two caps, one heater and
pipes, ten barrels of corn whiskey and
nine casks.
HANDSOME RESIDENCE.-The
new residence of Mr.. Joseph Il. Pogue
which is in course of erection, on the
corner of Fayetteville and Cabarrus
streets, is nearing completion. The resi-
dence when finished will be one of the
finest in the city and will handsomely
adorn Fayetteville street.
TO EQUALIZE TAXES.-The State
Board of Equalization is called to meet
here Thursday, August 10. 1t has been
found that the value of the same property
in different parts of the State varies very
widely. In some counties, for instance
mules are valued at $65 each, and in
others at $40. The Railroad Commission
is constituted the State Board Of Equal
station.
GOOD FOR THE CROPS.-People
from Goldsboro yesterday reported that q
fine rain had fallen in that section Thurs
day night. 1t was worth much to the
crops Of that section, as they have been
suffering from drought. But even in spite
OF this the yield Of both corn and cotton
will, am told, be enormous. The rain
here last night will be Of great benefit to
crops.
INCREASE IN PENSIONS.-Over
one thousand new applications for pen
sions have been received within the last
month by the State Auditor. There are
already over 5000 pensioners on the roll
II a majority of the new applicants are
added as probably will be done when the
Pension Board meets next month, the
amount going to each pensioner will be
very materially decreased from what it
has been heretofore.
DEALERS IN FISH.-An ordinance
passed at the July meeting Of the Board
Of Aldermen required all fish dealers to
have their place of business in a specified
district of the city and to make certain
preparations for keeping the fish. Then
they were required to secure from the san
itary inspector a license showing that
these regulations had been complied
with. Under this ordinance, which was
last night made imperative by the very
Board of Aldermen that passed it, only
four licenses were issued, but others
who have heretofore dealt in fish had
signifed their intention of obtaining Ii
cense as soon as cool weather sets in.
