Is it "overwork" that has filled this
country with nervous dyspeptics-
that takes the flesh of their bones,
the vitality from their blood, and
makes them feeble, emaciated and in
efficient? No. 1t Is bad cooking,
overeating of indigestible stuff, and
other health destroying habits.
Tue remedy is an artificially di-
gested food such as the Shaker Diges-
tive Cordial. Instead of irritating the
already in1amed stomach the Cordial
gives it a chance to rest by nourishing
the system itself and digesting other
food taken with it. So flesh and
strength return. Is not the idea
rational. The Cordial is palateable and
relieves Immediately. No money
risked to decide on its value. A 10
cent trial bottle does that.

There is 10 doubt that American
rowing is in need of some stimulus, and
it is equally true that regatta pat
erned after the world-fame1 Henley Of
the old country would provide the re-
quired encouragement. If we are to
have such regatta and certainly we
want 1.-THE Thames at New London is
the most desirable for it's location. 1t
has the tradition Of nearly twenty
years of college boat-racing: the river
is attractive in its setting, is free from
traffic; and the crews therefore not
interrupted in their practice; is mid
way between New York and Boston,
the two great eastern boating centres;
and with its protected harbor and eX-
cellent anchorage-a catching rendez-
vous of pronounced popularity.
For several years seDtimant favOring
such an annual event has been growing
among college men, and efforts quietly
making towards its esta blishment. The
greatest difficulty with which captains
and coaches at Harvard, Yale, Cornell,
Columb ia, have annually
to contend in turning out varsity
eight, is the total absence of univer-
sity boating spirit.
It is every year the case that men
w ho perhaps may even have never be-
fore sat in a she'll are accepted as caudi-
dates-simply because none of more eX-
perience offer. Because, indeed, there
are none of greater experience to offer
This is so because there
is no effort made to build up boating
