EDGE 0E FOOD AND DIGESTION.

The real cause of most of our diseases is sim
ply an inability to digest food. This induces
thinness weakness, loss of flesh and fat, loss of
vitality, wasting away.
Loss of flesh and vitality means constant liza
bility to sickness. Wasting away is consump-
ton.
If getting thin is what ails you. there is only
one thing to do-get fat. The only way to do it
is to take something which will help your
stomach and stimulate 1t to do its work.
If you are tired out you do not like to move
your legs or arms. If your stomach is tired it
does not like to digest; 1t cannot do its 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 indica
tons.
Getting thin is sign that youneed the Sna-
ker Digestive Cordial. You would not be get
ting thin If you could digest your food.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial not only con-
tains artifcially digested food. but 1t will d.
gest other foods In the stomach.
A single 10 cent bottle will show whether or
not it is going TO meet the conditions of your

Health is the best inheritance. 1t leaves
its influence even to the third and fourth
generation. What greater happiness has
life in store for any man than to live to a
green old age surrounded by his children
and his childrens children, and see them
all robust, happy and successful. Happy
the man who lives to carve at the wedding
suppers of his grandchildren. Picture your
self gray-haired but hearty old man at the
head of the table at your grandson's we'd
ding, thanking your Maker for the blessing
of long life, and asking the blessing of
good health for generations yet unborn, 1t
lies in almost every mans power to be thus
blessed if he will. If he will only obey Nat
ure's laws and be watchfu1 of his health,
he will have long life and happiness.

to the State. Insane Asylum at Augusts

superintendent, DR.. Sanborn,, was re-
quested to make written report to the
January criminal term Of the Superior
court in this city.
| A few days ago DR.. Sanborn made
while Dals exhibited morbid tendencies
he was sane enough to know right from
wrong and to be entirely responsible for
the comm issIon of crime and therefore
should stand trial.
In accordance with this report, Dale
was ordered brought to Portland and his
trial was set for yesterday afternoon. At
the time for the commencement of the
case the Superior court room was crowded
with spectators anxiously expecting to be
treated to sensational criminal trial,
but they were destined to be disap-
pointed.
John b. Kehoe Esq, who was TO be
Dallas counsel. went into the ante room
where Dale had been placed in charge of
two officers and had conference with
him. AS result Of 1t, Mr.. Kehoe an
nounced to the court and county attorney
that Dale would plead ''guilty' to the
count charging him with breaking and
entering. In consideration of this the
charge for larceny was not pressed at this
time.
The court at o'clock ordered Dale
arraigned. There was craning of necks
among the crowd anxious to get look
at the desperate man, as the door opened
ard Dale was led in by Deputy Sheriffs
Plummer and Collier. He was heavily
ironed al kept his eyes on the ground
as he was led along and placed in the
chair reserved for prisoners on trial, next
to the bar rail. Deputy Collier had to
jog him In the back and tell him to
stand up when Deputy Clerk Libby or
dered him to 'shearken to the indictment
found against him by the grand jury. +"
AS Dale stood and glanced furtively
about with what DR.. Sanporn calls his
devilish eyes" the great change in the
man since his last appearance in court
WAS at once apparent. Then be was
beardless and nothing but skin and bone.
Now he is in prime condition, with good
flesh and muscles like iron. His face is
covered by thick jet black beard.
In response to his oounsel's prompting
he muttered quietly in answer to the in
dictment. In a few moments he was

Gentlemen:
The Puritana treatment forwarded by
you on the 10th ultimo was duly re-
ceived, for which many thanks.
The ailment for which it was used
was rheumatism, or, more properly;
rheumatic govt, the sequence of long
standing liver trouble
used for two weeks, and the most salts
factory results have followed. Complete
determination of the torture which
marks the ail1nent, has not yet taken
place, for the period of the treatment is
of course, too brief for that, but the effect
of this short trial is SO full of promise
OF this short trial is SO full of promise, in
the immunity that has already taken
place from the terrible aches and pains
that I cannot refrain from expressing
my deepest gratitude to Puritana.
I shall continue the treatment, conf
dent that it will accomplish a thorough
cure, and will write you later as to final
results
In the mean time, for the blessed relief
it has already afforded, my sincere and
appreciative thanks are given. I have
tried twenty different remedies, but until
I tried Puritana relief was wanting.
Very sincerely yours,

REV. GEORGE R. BARsTOW.
Mr. Bar stow thought that the present
pcos condition Of the roads is not the
blame of the town surveyor, but is to. lie
laid at the door of the electric road. He
said that the road had received SO much
that it owns ths town. He said that the
selectmen do not dare to say no to re-
quest made by the electric road. Referr-
ing to sewers he said that town COVER
proyements as cheaply as city govern
ment.

Mr.. w. A. Allen, an ex-seectman,

street in Knightville which was brought
by the advent of the electric road.

land said that a change is necessary and

vile was in favor of the movem emit.
Mr.. Walter Dyer Of Knightville spoke
next He had a report of the city Of Deer
ing and told what the extra officers re-
CURED by city are. At present he was
