The British iron men generally as
cribe this phenomenal movement to the
trade depression in the United States,
which causes forced sales abroad. But
others point to the steady continuance
of American shipments as evidence that
they must be made at a profit and hold
that superior natural advantages and
improved processes of manufacture
have turned the scale. AS matter of
fact. these shipments are from the Ala
bama iron district, and are made at a
profit. Wages paid in Alabama are not
appreciably higher than in England.
but improved processes of obtaining the
ore and coal explain the victory of the
American over the English maker in the

Consolidation Bill Vetoed.

Kansas City, Feb. 10.-Mayor Jones
has vetoed the bill passed by the coun-
Gil permitting the consolidation of the
two local gas companies. His chief
reason is that. inasmuch as the city has
a right under both franchises to buy
the plants, the consolidation will force
the city to pay for duplicate machinery
and mains. Consolidation would mean
a decided advance in the price of gas
to the consumer. The measure Will
probably become law Notwithstanding

A NEW DISCOVERY BY THR SHAKERS.

For more than hundred years the
Mount Lebanon Shakers have studied
the cultivation OF medicinal plants and
sought to extract from them their heal
ing essences. Their labor has not been
spent in vain. They have made a dis
covery that will prove a blessing to
mankind. II consists OF a cordial that
causes immediate relief in cases OF In
digestion. The Importance OF this dis
covery will be apparent when we rea-
lie that nearly nine-tenths OF our SUI
ferinE are caused by dyspepsia or in
digestion. Nearly every person you
meet has this digestive trouble In some
OF its varied forms-sick headache, dis
tress after eating. pain and fullness in
the chest after eating, palpitntlon OF the
heart, etc, are but symptoms of indl-
gestion. To relieve these sufferings
has been the study OF the
Shakers, and they have succeeded. The
reason the Shaker Digestive Cordial has
such an immediate and salutary effect
Is TINT II causes the food eaten to be
dlgested, for II is undlgested food that
causes the distress. The Cordial
causes the food to be digested before
there 10 time for It to ferment and
sour on the stomach When the food
Is so dlgested II gives strength and
vlgor to the feeble body. makes one feel
bright and cheerful, and makes one
gain In flesh.
The Digestive Cordial lie so prompt in
its action that the very first dose viii
have n perceptibly favorable result. II
gives immediate relief.
Every druggist has been sent a sup
ply of our handsome Donkey Puzzle
Books, and a copy may be had for the
asking. 1t tells all about the Cordial as
well as Laxol, the new castor oil
