Indigestion is often taken for consump-
ton. The word consumption means vast
ing away, and dyspeptics often waste
away as badly as consumptives.
The reason people waste away is be-
cause either they don't get enough to eat,
or they don't digest what they do eat.
1.-THE latter is your trouble, take Shaker
Digestive Cordial. This will help you to
digest your food and stop your loss of
flesh.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is made from
herbs, banks and juices of fruit, by the
well known Shakers at Mount Lebanon.
1t possesses great tonic and digestive pow
ers.
Shaker Digestive Cordial has cured
many supposed consumptives (who were
really dyspeptics), by simply helping their
stomachs to digest their food, thus giving
them nourlshment and new strength.
Sold by druggists. Trial bottle 10 cents.

A HEARING ON CHARITIES
Joint Committee Listens TO District
Workers Among the Poor.
A Central Board of Charities to
Have Full Charge of Distrlbu-
ton Is Largely Favored.

The striking feature OF the stcharities
hearing before the Joint Committee on
Charities yesterday afternoon was the po-
stion taken by Secretary Wilson OF the
Associated Charities This was, prac-
tfcaIIy that they did not desire assistance
by appropriations, This position was SO
decidedly novel that it attracted a great
deal of attention from the members OF the
committee. Mr. Wilson said the Asso-
ciated Charities had always been sup
ported by private subscription. They had
never solicited, and did not desire Gov
erument asst stance He, however, be-
lieved that It would be wei to have
board of charities established ard recog-
nized by Congressional authority which
should dispense all charity funds Mr..
wilson's statements were substan TALLY
corroborated by Dir. Van Reipen, mem
ber OF the Associated Charities board of
managers.
The committee on charities of the board
of trade, represented by Mr.. Janney, was
the next heard. He favored the organi-
Zation of a Joint board of charities, prefer
ably of nine members, to have full charge
of distributioI. He said the other mem
bers of the board Of trade committee con-
Cured in this opinion.
Mr.. Henry B. F. Macfarland made an ex
tended and interesting statement he be-
leved the Associated Charities should be
placed in charge of the distribution of the
charity fund Of $4,000, which was an
nually appropriated. BE also spoke for
the Board of Children's Guardians, which
he thought should pc intrusted with the
care of children until homes were found
for them, or, as he put it, preparing them
to enter homes" This being provided
for. no child should become a charge on
the annual appropriation until the Board
of Children's Guardians had passed upon
the case and practically accepted the
child as a ward of the board" This
would he a determination OF the fact
that the child was proper subject for
help.
Mr. Macfarland united with the other
speakers in favoring board of charities,
and expressed the opinion that such
board would extend the scope of charitable
work in the District, and cheaper it.
"Of course" he said, ''the members of
the board would serve without compensa-
tion and the only necessary expense would
be paid secretary"
A letter was presented from the District
Commissioners giving detailed account
of the distribution Of the $4,000 appro-
priated for the last fiscal year. The tear
ing was very satisfactory, and there s
little question that one result of i t will be
the serious consideration by the commit tee
of the establishment of a central boar Of
charities.
The committee meets this afternoon to
hear statements on anoth her branch of the
general subject under consideration.

NEW VIOLATIONS ALLEGED
Interstate Commerce Commission
Notifies Certain Railroads.
HINT OF A SHREWD MOVE
A Railroad Mans Opinion That
the Commission Is After the
May Be BeoEened in the Supreme
Judge DiIlon's Views.

Two Interesting phases of the railroad
situation growing oat OF the familiar de
cision of sae Supreme Court We're develop
ed yesterday.
First-The Trans Missouri Al soeiation has
filed notice with the Supreme Court for
a rehcaung or the case in wnicG the court
declared Illegal the pooling of rates in that
association. Second The Interstate Conl-
mercc Commission has asked the Joint
Traffic Association TO send to the commits
sion verified copies of all contracts relat-
ing TO the shipment, transportation, Stor-
ing, or warehousing of grain, etc, in force
between April /, 1896, and March /, 1897.
OF the roads entering this city affected by
the order are the b. 4 O., the b. Il p,
and the c. & o. The Southern Railway is
said to be in the Southern Association.
1t is stated that alleged violations of
the law on roads from Chicago East are
the inspiration OF this notice the return to
which must he made tomorrow. All of the
Interstate Commerce Commissioners were
out of the city yesterday, but have, it is
learned, finished their inquiry in Savan-
nan vest terday-
One OF the railroad men here said that
the order is such as is usually sent ont
I'm such cases. but that it prOtably has an
intention which has escaped general at
tention. The inquiry OF the Commission is
as to rates 10th general ana special made
within the period above named. After the
decision of the Supreme Court there was
a good deal said about the prospective and
actual formation OF bureaus" to take the
place OF the combines or pools All agree
ments as TO rates are supposed TO be filed
with the Commission, but there has been
no filing Of any agreement made by the
members of any bureau.
Ii is just possible, he said, that this move
of the commission Will have The effect of
having produced before the commission any
agreement or contract made by the bureaus
30 that the commission can pass upon them
This is only guess, but it is one Of the
close possibilities OF the case Perhaps the
primary cause OF the notice has been fair
lv stated by the commission, but both ends
may be suhserved
The petition for a rehearing, III granted
on behalf of the Trans Missouri Associa-
ton, viii be argued by eX-Judge John f.
Dillon. tie general counsel Of the Union
Pacific, which, in the opinion OF its re-
Ceiver, is cut off from further pooling or
other combines to affect rates.
