When person is losing flesh and vast
ing away there is cause for alarm. Moth
ing so worries physician. ConsumptiVes
would never die if they could regain their
usual weight. In fact there would be no
consumption if there was no wasting of
the system. The cause of this loss of flesh
is a failure to properly digest the food
eaten. Nine-tenths of all our diseases
date back to some arrangement of the
stomach.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial will stop
this wasting of the body. 1t acts by caus-
ing he food we eat to be digested so as to
do good, for undigested food does more
harm than good. The Cordial contains
food already digested and is digester of
foods as well.

THE REASON WHY.
A SONG OF COLUMBUS.

Whence came the courage in his heart
That held him steadfast years and years,
Till he in triumph made the start,
Victorious DER mems childish fears?
Whence came the strength that never failed
That so he sailed, and sailed, and sailed?
No keel of ship with venturous PROV
Had ever plowed 1.-THE Shadowy Sea-;
Nor eye of man, meath anxious brow,
Had found the Path of Destiny.
But he in his far quest prevailed,
As on he westward sailed and sailed.
The timorous sailors mutinied;
The needle wandered from the pole;
The way was long, the waters hid
From all their eyes the destined goal;
The storm came down. the stoutest quailed;
Yet on, right on, he sailed and sailed.
He was a God-appointed man,
The Holy Spirit breathed in him;
He wrought him well within the plan
That fills the world from core to rim.
Hence came the strength that never failed;
nd hence he sailed, and sailed, and sailed.
God made him pilot for mankind,
To show the Path of Destiny
God made him eyes un o the blind,
That man the whole round globe might see
That so mankind might know and grow
To his full stature grow and grow.

Mans Experience.
{ From the Boston Lerald. }

1t is strange thing how people will
put away an opportunity until too late;
it's only little things that go to make
up our every day existence; the trouble
is we don't pay sufficient attention to
them. "a wink to the wise may be suf-
ficient," but sometimes we don't get that
wink, and we are not all wise. Now, for
instance: Backache is a little thing.
Sometimes it comes after a hard days
work, or slight cold. Ii will pass off,

wrong. 1t isn't the fault of your back,
but your kidneys. The eXertion Of

cate mechanism. You call it backache,
but it really is kidney ache. If the kid
set in, and this is where the ''little thing"
should not be passed over. A Boston
man has learned to appreciate what de-
lay means. We refer to j. H. Matthews,
who resides at No. Garland street. This
is how he speaks about it: "Some eight

PLEA FOR SrEP-MOTHERS.

"Why is it that, almost by unanimous
consent, the social and domestic as well
as the literary world, looks down upon
the step-mother?" asks writer in
Christian Herald. "She is a misunder-
stood individual, misrepresented, and her
best purposes too often distorted by
prejudiced tongues and pens, which prefer
to criticise harshly instead Of doing gen.
erous justice.
"a writer, in the course Of plea for the
better treatment Of step mothers in gem
eral, relates this experience: / found
every tradition against me, said step
mother. All the books represent the
step mother as scheming and unkind !;
outsiders invariably pity the children
when their father marries again; and rel
atives are always ready to criticise the
slightest attempt at discipline or guild
ance. The children love me now; but the
first year was the most trying ordeal
through which l ever passed.
"And her step-daughter, who was pres
ent, said: Yes, indeed, we were on the
defensive for six months, because our
nurse told us that step-mothers were
cruel whenever they got the chance, and
sometimes turned children out of the
house. 1t took us a long time to realize
that we could love and trust our new
friend just as we did other people. l re-
member perfectly how astonished and
ashamed l was when l first understood
| how mistaken we had been, and what
love and patience we had been fighting
against!'
"Doubtless much of misery and illfeel-
ing would be spared if instead of pre-
Judging the step-mother we took her for
what she really is and valued her accord
ingly."
In answer to the above article the fol-

which seems to glow with richer
radiance, the further time carries me
away from her. There may be some step
mot hers who are not all they should be,
