GIRLS.

The following quoted article is
reproduced form The,Bolivar 0bser-
yer.
A father, talking to his careless
daughter, said: 81 want to speak
to you of your mother. 1t may be
that you have noticed a care worn
look on her face lately. Of course
it has not been brought there by
any act of yours, still it is your
duty to chase it away. want you
to get up tomorrow morning and
get breakfast, and when your moth
er begins to express her surprise,
go right up to her and kiss her on
the mouth. You can't imagine how
it will brighten her dear face. Be-
sides you owe her kiss or two any
way. Away back when you were a
little girl she kissed you when no
one else was tempted by your fever
tainted breath and swollen face.
You were not so attractive then as
now. And through those years of
childish sunshine and shadows, she
was always ready to cure by the
magic of a mothers kiss the little
dirty, chubby hands whenever they
were injured in their first skirmish-
es with this rough, cold world.
"And then the midnight kisses
with which she routed so many bad
dreams as she leaned over your rest
less pillow, have all been on inter
est these long years. Of course she
is not so pretty and kissable as you
are, but if you had done your share
of the work during the last ten
years, the contrast would not be so
marked. Her face has more wrink-
les than yours-far more-and yet,
if you were sick that face would
appear more beautiful than any an
gels as it lowered over you, watch
ing every opportunity to minister
to your comfort, and every one of
those wrinkles would seem to be
bright wavelets of sunshine chasing
each other over the dear face.
"She will leave you one of these
days. These burdens, if not lifted
from her shoulders, will break her
down. Those rough, hard hands
that have done so many unnecessary
things for you, will be crossed upon
her lifeless breast. Those neglect
ed lips that gave you your first baby
kiss will be closed forever, and
those sad, tired eyes will have open
ed in eternity, and then you will
appreciate your mother. But it
will be too late.''

The LATEST SCIENTIFIC KaOwt-
EDGE or FOOD AND DIGESTION.

The real cause OF most OF our diseases is
simply an inability 10 digest food. This
induced thinness, weakness, loss OF flesh
and fat, loss OF vitality, wasting away.
Loss of flesh and vitality means constant
liability to sickness. Wasting away is con-
sumption.
II getting thin is what ails you, there IL
only one thing to do-get fat. The only
way to do IL Is take something which will
help your stomach and stimulate it TO do
its work.
II you are tired ont You do not like to
move your legs or arms. IL your stomach
is tired it does not like to digest; it cannot
do it's work.
To eat, or even to eat with relish does
not necessarily mean that one is being
nourished. Strength, vitality and flesh
are the true indications.
Getting thin is a sign that you need the
Shaker Digestive Cordial. You would not
be getting thin il you could digest your
food.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial not only
contains artificially digested food, but 1t
will digest other foods in the stomach.
A single 10 cent bottle will show whether
or not it is going to meet the conditions OF
your case, and ii so, its continued use may
be depended on to effect cure. All drug
gists keep 1t In stock.

faction was held. were not legally elected
under the statutes.
Lawyer Samuel j. Elder. for the re-
spondents, pointed out that while the

chosen to act In certain capacities, the
fact remained that the persons repre-
sented by the petitioners had not only
not made any objection to the election or
four other persons. to wit the delegates
at large, but had endorsed their election,
which would indicate that the objection of
the petitioners Is merely to those who dc
