Sick poison is a poison which
makes you sick. 1t comes from the
stomach. The stomach makes it out
of undigested food.
The blood gets in and taints the
whole body with it. That's the way
of it.
The way TO be rid of is to look
after your digestion.
If your food is properly digested,
there will be none left in tee stomach
to make sick poison out OF.
II your stomach is too weak to see
to this properly by itself, help it
along with few doses of Shaker
Digestive Cordial.
That's tho cure Of it.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is de:
licious, healthful, tonic cordial, made
Of pure medicinal plants, herbs and
wine.
It positively cures indigestion and
prevents the formation of sick poison.
At druggists. Trial bottle 10c.

Many OF the Senators had come to the
chamber ready to go the station, and
final 'eave was taken of their colleagues
and officers ere they hurried away.
ACROSS THE HALL.
In the House the proceedings were
much the nature OF those in the Senate,
though with hardly so much formality.
Speaker Ryan had hardly called the
body to order ut noon when Senator
Barksdole appeared from the Senate with
message informing the House that the
former body had apopted Joint resolu-
ton providing for the appointment of u
committee of Ave from cach branch to i'm.
form the Governor that the General As
sembly was ready to adjourn. Messrs.
Switzer, Stubbs, Anderson, Reddy. and
Wallace were appointed by the Speaker.
In few minutes thecommittee return
ed, aud Mr.. Anderson stated that the
Governor had requested him to inform
the House that he had no other further
communications to make to the Genera
Assembly, aud desired to express his ap-
probation for the work done by that
body.
Speaker Ryan then declared that In ac-
cordance with II joint resolution adopted
by the two bodies, the General Assembly
stood adjourned. His gavel fell atexactly
1924, aud the session OF 1S97-'0S was n

Tho Meaning of This Term just EIu-
cidnted in Kansas.
In the trinl OF n case In police court
at Lawrence the other day the law
yers were puzzled to discover In
an old city ordinance the words pigeon
dropper," which were evidently used to
demonstrate n certain class OF Grim
inal, snys the Kensas City journal. No
one, however, knew anything about
the class or their methods, and dis
cussion was started which lasted for
several days and brought out all sorts
OF explanations. Finully +. w. Reed
solved the riddle. lie said thnt 40 years
ago, when he was In business In New
York city, the term was n common one
In police court circles.
About that time new confidence
game was started which required q
brace Of confederates TO successfully
operate II. They would pick up man
on the streets who looked "easy," when
one of the confederates would 60 ahead
md drop what appeared to be a big
roll of bills. The second confederate,
keeping pace with the victim. so us to
arrive at the spot little In advance of
him. would picle up the roll.
Turning then to the victim, he would
exploin Tint he had to hurry. out of
town; that the roll contained at least
$1,000; TINT the loss would surely be
advertised and reward of at least
500 be offered; wouldn't the gentle
man advance us much as the reward
was sure to be and take the roll? The
gentleman usually hastened to accom-
modate the finder, only to discover later
that the $1,000 roll was simply wad
of paper. with ten-dollar bill wrapped
around 1t. This. says Reed, was known
as "pigeon dropping" and the operators
as pigeon droppcrs."

TO FIGHT TIRE WHARTON LAW.
A Test Case WIN Be Made In July Before
The Supreme Court.

The fire-insurance companies, while
determined to fight the Wharton Law
recently passed by the General Assembly,
have as yet mapped out no plans there
for, and it is not likely that they will
do SO for some little time. The law does
not become operative until the first OF
July, and nothing may be done until
then. The understanding now is that
test case will be made in July by some
one OF the companies committing an in
fraction of the law, and then the matter
will be taken directly before the Supreme
Court on thequestion OF constitutionuly.
The statement made yesterday to the
effect that the law might be evaded by
transferring the headquarters OF the
Southeastern Tariff Association TO
Washington, well known agent here
says was in error. The Associations
headquarters are in Atlantu at present,
though it has an agent here through
whom rates are promulgated aud in

Virginia Legislature.

The most important work of the
Virginia Legislature, the session of
which cloeed yesterday afternoon
was the passage Of the general ap-
propriatian bill, by which 100000 q
yeai will be saved for the next two
years, compared with the last ap.
preparation bill. As stated in the
Sun, when the bill was reported to
the Senate, this saving is largely
made by reduction in the appropi
alton for criminal expenses which
had been gradually increaning for
years, uutil it had become a great
burden on the tax payers. There
was some cutting in the appropriations
for public institutions, but not
enough. it is claimed by the friends
of retrencnment, to impair their eff
cheney. The proposition to call a
State convention to amend the con
stituaion was defeated because of
the inability Of the two Houses to
agree on date for submitting the
question to the voters of the State
