FOOD STRENGTH.
1T COMES FROM THE RIGHT FOOD
PROPERLY DIGEsTED.

Food strength is natural strength. It is
new strength; created strengt. That Is,
it is not stimulation.
The real strength of your body is your
constitutional strength, your reserve
strength. It Is the result of eating proper
food and digesting it,
Eating food does no good at all; rather
harm-unless it is dgested. So that ev-
erything narrows itself down to one propo-
sition: How is your digestion.
One person I'm three of us have indiges-
ton in some form or another. 1t is not
really a disease, but a condition; cond-
ton which may become serious.
We all wish to be strong. and we might
all become so if we digested our food The
loss of your strength is serious matter.
IT may be the beginning of a dangerous
disease. 1t may mean that you cannot go
on with your work.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is an aid to
digestion. It is a strength maker 1t
makes your food nourish you. 1t makes
you strong. 1t relieves at once all the
symptoms of acute dyspepsia, tones up
the system and creates flesh, energy and
strength. Taken regularly it will perma-
nently cure indigestion and make the
weak, thin. irritable. nervous dyspeptic,
strong, fat hearty and well again.
A Decent bottle will show you what 1t
will do

MISERY THAT REFUSED COMPANY
A Condemned Murderer Refuses to

A Condemned Murderer Refuses to
Repeat "a Former Confession.
Baltimore, Md, Jan. 1S.-The trial of
one of the most remarkable cases in the
criminal annals of Maryland was begun
and concluded in the criminal court to-
day.
The defendant was a woman, who was
indicted in the Charles county court as
an accessory to the murder of her hus-
band The most damaging testimony
against the woman was expected to come
from man who was convicted of the
murder, and on whom the death sentence
has been passed.
In a confession, made the day following
his conviction and sentence to death for
the murder of James Irwin, George
Matthews declared that he had been in
cited to the crime by Mrs. Irwin, and
together they had planned and executed
1t. 1t was believed that his testimony,
along with circumstantal evidence from
other quarters, might bring the death
sentence. down on the widow of the muir
dered man. But when Matthews was put
on the stand to-day he refused to testify
against her, or even to be sworn in the
case.
After Matthews had refused to testify,
the state closed its case. The defense
did not even submit any evidence, and
the, case was given to the jury without
argument Without leaving their seats
the jurors found and gave in their verdict
of not guilty

THROWN UP THE SPONGE.
The Railroads VIII Not Fight the
Fertilizer Rate,

WerthllNer nate.
Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 1S-The railroads have
abandoned their intention to fight the
state railroad commission on the fertil-
izer rate question. They have not made
any announcement of this fact. but a
member of the commission is authority
for the statement to-day that the roads
have decided that the best thing they can
do is to put the 20 per cent. reduction in
force without a fight in the courts, as was
at first their evident intention
The information of this commissioner is,
no doubt, authoritative. Last week the
railroads after the general conference of
the attorneys of all lines in interest, last
ing two days, left the matter of fight
ing the reduction in the courts in the
hands of committee of attorneys. This
committee considered the question thor
oughly, devoting several days to it, The
committee finally dissolved without maxi
ing any statements as to Its determine
ton, and developments have been expect
ed ever since. Uf
The abandonment of the fight by the
railroads is clean victory for the rail-
road commission. The expected fight in
the courts would have been IN the nature
of a complete defiance of the right and
power of the commission to force it's
rates into effect with the roads when
ever they should take the ground that
such rates were not reasonable and just.
