FOOD STRENGTH.
1t Comes From the Right Food Prop
erIy Digested.

Food strength is natural strength. 1t
is new strength; created strength. That
is, it is not stimulation.
The real strength of your body is your
constitutional strength, your reserve
strength 1t is the result of eating proper
food and digesting it.
Eating food does no good at all; rather
harm-unless it is digested. So that every
thing narrows itself down to one PROPOSE
ton: How is your digestion?
One person in three of us have indiges-
ton in some form or another. 1t is not
really disease, but a condition; a condi-
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.
1t 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. 1t is 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 makes the
weak, thin, irritable, nervous dyspeptic,
strong, fat, hearty and we'll again.
A 10 cent bottle will show you what it
will do.

PLANS OF GOLD DEMOCRATS
Chairman Bynum, of the cold Demo-

Prospects Are GOOD in Ohio and

Sound Money Ranks.

New York, July 2.-William d. Bynum,

when the campaign opens in the middle

orous effort will be made to strengthen
the party in all of these states, 60 roc.ally
in Kentucky, Iowa and Ohio. "In Ken

Democrats will hold convention on July
IA. Former Secretary of the Treasury
Carlisle will preside, and General Buck

appointed committee to confer with the
national Democratic convention, and
that party will indorse our nominee.
This will insure their election. Ia Ohio
and Iowa the prospects are good for
large gains in the ranks of sound money
Democrats. Boies has practically left
the Bryan Democrats, because he does
not want free coinage at 16 to l. 1t is
the desire of the committee of national

STOCK TAX OPPOSED.
The Contemplated Tax on stock and
Bond Transactions Has Created
Considerable Excitement In
wall street.

New York, July 2.-The news from
Washington, that tax on all stock and
bond transactions was contemplated by
the government, was discussed generally

vestment securities, look with disfavor on
the scheme. President Eames of the
stock exchange, said that the proposition
was i'll advised. John Z. Terry, director
of the Western Union Telegraph and Man

steadfast Republican since the formation
of the party, said it seemed to him that
the party was rushing headloug to ruin,
when it advocate such legislation as this.
