 the air
 Their resonance awakens courage there; While as the daylight wanes, the forest
 dweller Is of glad nightly rest the fondest teller. No one whose sight and hearing have been
 roaming Could e'er describe the bird-song in the
 Nor give the wonder-music of such chimes It's right expressoin, cen in rythmic word

 An, did the lettered line convey the blessing
 From feathered throat to human ear with

 Then love divine, of varied impressins, But, know ye of the beauty of the singer With voice so prayerinspiring, worship bringer! He is snowwhite bird, in form and motion As graceful as the mind may well conceive; Swift in his flight, when not meath song S devotion. One might in freedom such as his believe His head tuft of arched, black plumes adorning, Marks him a. noon, at eve, and in the morning. i The convent bell is not more true in calling Its devotees to silence of the soul: l This birds resemblance is sound enthrall' | ing | Mayhap the bell has its rare music stole | To charm life's mortal sufferers by sweet ness That bears a part with heaven in Its com 1 pleteness! i @ A bird found in Paraguay and Guiana : remarkable for both plumage and song i Called also bell-ringer

The Latest Scientific Knowledge
 on Food and Digestion.

The real cause of most of our dis eases is simply 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 con- stant liability to sickness. Wasting away is consumption.
 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 stim- ulate it to do it's work.
 If you are tired out you do not like to move your legs or arms. II your stomach is tired it does not like to d1- gest it; 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 tesh are the true indications.
 Getting thin is sign that you need the Shaker Digestive Cordial You would not be getting thin if you could digest your food.
 The Shaker Digestive Cordial not only contains artiflcially digested food, but it 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 if so, it's continued use may be depended on to effect a cure. All druggists keep it in stock.
