Maryland Rice and Tobacco.

According to the Baltimore News, the farmers of Maryland are becoming in- terested in the movement for general cultivation Cf tobacco and for the intro duction of the raising of rice In earlier days tobacco was grown throughout the state, but for the last half century it has been confined to the counties of southern Maryland. Rice has never been grown in the state, but the recent suc- cess with this crop ill lower New Jersey has led many to think that it can be profitably taken up in Delaware and Maryland. The yield of rice is from 35 to 60 bushels an acre, and the net profit is said to be from $25 to $45 an acre.

THE FOLDING BED.
1t Is Still an Object of Suspicion to Many
 Hotel Visitors.


 "I'm sorry, sir," said the polite young up town hotel clerk to the grum looking guest, "but haven't another room in the house tonight. If you could use this till morning, I'll fix you up right for tomorrow. But the induce ment persuasively delivered failed to work and the grum looking man went away.
 When he had got over the threshold, the suave clerk smiled a sort of pensive smile and said: "You can't do any thing with these fellows It beats the world how man will let his prejudices drive him out into the night to seek inferior accommodations. And yet this man looked like he knew better too."
 "What was it dissatisfied him?"
 'Nothing in the world except that in the only room he'd have there was a folding bed.

 After meals you should have simply a feeling of comfort and satisfaction. You should not feel any special indications that digestion is going on. If you do,you have indigestion, which means not-diges- tion. This may be the beginning of so many dangerous diseases, that it is best to take it in hand at once and treat it with Shaker Digestive Cordial. And that Shaker Digestive Cordial helps digestion and cures indigestion. It does this by providing the digestive materials in which the sick stomach Is wanting. It also tones up and strengthens the digestive organs and makes them perfectly healthy. This the rationale of its method of cure, as the doctors would say.
