If we could trace dyspepsia to is source. 1t would lead back to our kitch- ems. In fact, the secret of good health is good cooking. If we'll cooked, foods are partially digested; if poorly cook ed, 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 look ed for in an artifcially digested food, aud food which will at the same time aid the digestion of other foods Such a preparation virtually rests the tired digestive organs. thereby restoring them to their natural strength.
 The Digestive Cordial, as prepared by the Sbskers of Mount Lebanon. is just such preparation. and a single 10 cent bottle will convince you of it's value. If your druggist doesn't keep it, he will be glad to get it through his wholesale house.

The Tariff Bill.

By the decisive vote of 50 to 2S, thu
Tariff bill was passed in the senate shortly
before O'Clock Wednesday. At that time
the Republican Administration had been ir
power only four months and three days
In just q days after Mr.. Mckinley was
inaugurated the Dingley tariff bill passed
the house by vote of 205 to 1872; present
and not voting, 2l. Five Democrats were
recorded on the affirmative side. On May
4 the revised, or Aldricb, bill was reported
from the Finance committee to the senate.
An analysis of the final vote shows that
the affirmative vote was cast by 35 Repub-
licans, two Silver Republicans, Jones of
Nevada and Mantle, and one Democrat,
McEnery. Total 3S.
The negative vote was cast by % Demo-
Gratis, two Populists, Harris of Kansas and
Turner, and one Silver Republican, Can
non. Total %.
The probability is that agreement will
be quickly reached by the two houses, and
the bill, at the latest, will receive the pres
ident's signature before the end of the
month.
