NATURAL FAT.
GETTING FAT is ONLY A QUESTION
OF EATING PROPER FOOD.

Thin people who want to get fat should
eat proper food and digest IL.
That is the only natural way.
The trouble with most thin people Is that
they suffer from indigestion.
They don't digest their food. They
don't get enough nourishment. They are
slowly being starved. They are poisoned
by the products of fermented and putrid
food.l
Shaker Digestive Cordial, a gentle, nat
ural, vegetable digestive, attacks the food
in your stomach just like the digestive
juices, and turns it into healthful nourish-
ment. 1t helps your stomach naturally.
1t makes thin dyspeptics fat. 1t makes
poisonous blood pure. 1t tones up and
cures the stomach.
Nothing will cure indigestion like
Shaker Digestive Cordial, because nothing
else go SO naturally about 1t.
This is why ii has been SO successful in
relieving nausea, vomiting, dizziness,
weakness, bad taste, fever hatulence, con-
stipation, loss of appetite, headache, neu-
ralgia, rheumatism, etc., by curing the
disorder which causes the symptoms.
A few doses will prove its value, but you
won't get fat ON one bottle.
All druggists. Ten cents for a trial bot
tie.

Shakers, 80 Read Street, New York.

Talked Of In Europe.
Russia has just taken her first census
All the figures hitherto quoted on the
population. the religion and the classi-
fication thereof in the Russian empire
have been mere guesswork. True, Peter
the Great established special kind of
census for the serf population. which
was continued at irregular intervals
down to 1868, its object being to deter
mine the poll tax formerly payable to
the state by the owners OF the serfs.
But with that exception there has never
been any numbering of the people in
accordance with the requirements OF
modern statistical science. 1t has been
a one day census and was carried into
effect on Feb. 10. Inasmuch as so per
cent of the population of Russia can
neither read nor write, the labor OF
enumeration has been exceptionally
onerous.
Constantinople is now in the midst of
Ramadan, or the Mohammcd Lent. The
latter is scrupulously observed by the
followers of the Prophet. and from sun
rise to sunset there is an entire absti-
nence not only Of food and drink, but
even Of tobacco. Without the latter seda-
tive to the nerves the Turkish character,
always prone to fanaticism, becomes ex-
ceedingly difficult to manage. The ha.
tired of the 'unbeliever" assumes an
acute form, and the Ramadan is in con-
sequence thereof always regarded by the
Christians in Mohammedan countries
with certain degree of apprehension.
In the present unsettled condition of af-
fairs in the Ottoman empire, no surprise
need therefore be felt if at any moment
popular disturbances are reported either
from Constantinople or from Asia Minor.

frances treasury receipts for 1896
show an increase Of nearly s5, O00. 600
IN the revenue derived from tobacco,
which indicates that the practice Of
smoking and snuff taking is ON the n
crease. This has led M. Dccroix, the
president Of the Antitobacco league Of
France, to ascribc the depopulation Of
France and the scarcity Of children to
the abuse of nicotine, and he is especial
~ vehement in his denunciation Of the
short pipes and cigarettes which the
French affect in preference 10 the long
pipes patronized Ivy the Germans. The

Thou beatest down, the while they plead
For help toward life and liberty.

On Austrian hill and Spanish plain,
The infidel, now drives her sons
Back to their broken chains again.

While Moslems Quench it's altar-tlres.
Ger martyrs shrines the crescent CLOVIS;
St. GsOrge has sheathed his craven
sword:
Judas of Nations, Britain stands;
For midas wealth she sells her Lord.
The Turk shall grin beside thy feast,
Base land, and keep thy ju bilee;
While Christian Liberty, in chains
Shrieks friendless from the Crstan sea.

One land of heroes dares defy

MISCELLANEOUS.
IN The SPRING.
puritana Is the Safest and
Surest Remedy.

HN THE universal custom of
NJ IL taking a spring remedy
MESA is founded on natural in
WEBW stinct implanted in us for
EFl IEia our own good.
EF hiI The heat-producing foods
HM h of winter leave the system
r clogged. Confinement in
srvtrE@ warm rooms, with lack of
outdoor exercise, makes all the organs
weak and torpid. Those who neglect
TO use a remedy or fail to get the right
one are inviting serious troubles. Most
chronic diseases start in the spring.
The end of winter finds thousands with
such symptoms as these: A general
,7nfitness for work with either head or
hands. A Worn-out, tired-out feeling
that cannot be overcome. There is
sIeeplessness, or restless sleep. Numb
ness of hands or feet. A sence of pres
sure in the head, with a feeling OF
gloom or dependency. There may
be f1uttering or palpitation of the heart.
E.renuently a pain in the heart or under
the left shoulder. There may be
r,,shes of blood to the head, or throb-
hing In the ears at times.
Kidney and liver troubles may be
looked for if your digestion has not
been perfect. There is fulness or pain
in the right side, or pain under the
right shoulder. Distaste for food,
with nausea in the morning. Com
pIexion is blotched or sallow, Tongue
&c coated or mouth foul. There is a
dull. sleepy feeling, with Discrimination
to breathe deeply. If the kidneys are
in danger there will be pain, weakness,
or soreness in small of back, and per-
haps occasional sharp pains. Urine is
scapty. high colored, and on standing
becomes cloudy, or deposits a red sedi-
ment. There are apt to be frequent
headaches. Sores and skin eruptions
frequently come.
All these various symptoms are COM
mon to spring, and show that the vital
organs need renovating and prompt
repair. Bright's disease, jaundice,
rheumatism, and heart troubles start
from Just such conditions as these. No
two persons will have the same set of
symptoms, but any of those enumer-
ated are important. The organs must
be strengthened and repaired. Repair
can only come through active diges-
ton, and Puritana is the remedy to
rely on. It will vitalize the entire body
and give you spring of buoyant, Wig
orous health. Clear complexion, sharp
appetite, and the power to do things, is
the sure reward of taking Puritana.
