When your stomach begins to
trouble you, it needs rest. The
help it needs, is to digest your
food, and, until it gets it, You
won't have any peace. Stomach
trouble is very distressing, very
obstinate, very dangerous. Many
of the most dangerous diseases
begin with simple Indigestion. The
reason is that indigestion (not.di-
gestion, not nourishment) weakens
the system and allows disease
germs to attack it. The antidote
is Shaker Digestive Cordial
Strengthening, nOurishing, curative.
1t cures indigestion and renews
strength and health. 1t does this
by strengthening the stomach, by
helping TO digest your food. 1t

Boys Scared.

Shawvers Mills, Va. Feb. /
Last Sunday evening "Sager" and
"Prude' called to see their best
girls, and the weather being very
bad, they were in great hurry to
leave. Ere darkness began to gath
ell, they started home, but they re-
membered the old adage, 1T is bad
luck to go the first time you start"
They fingered until the day had
gone into the embrace of darkness.
Then with fearful eyes, aching
hearts, and fond adieus, they startc d
for their homes. The joys of life
are mixed with sorrows. They had
gone but short distance when
these boys saw something terrible,
beyond description. They say. they
were not afraid, but the fastest way
they could go, was too slow. They
started to run together, and "Sager"
out ran until he ran into sink hole
about eight feet across, and ''ker
chunk" he took the side of the hole
opposite to the one from which lie
entered. "Prude' passed safely, and
heard the following petition offered
by "Sager:"
80 Lord, shield me from the on
coming danger. / wouldn't have
come out tonight, if it hadn't been
for 'Prude" o s.booger," take
''Prude," if you -. AT that asa
ger" heard yell and when he found
his partner be had run against COW
and was sitting in tha road, very
we'll contented it seemed. He said
he was resting and then he began
to sing, This earth is dreary place
Heaven is my home"
These boys have promised to
spend the greater portion of the
dark part OF their lives in the bed
hereafter.

While many have confused this organi-
cation with the Red Cross society, 1t is in
no way connected with that branch. The
women of Tacoma were the first to take
the initiative in the organization for re-

to the different cities Of the stare asking
the hearty cooperation of ali the women,
with the result that several cities, among
them our own, now have this necessary
adjunct to the army.

Aboard the Monterey.

Mrs. Jungst is in receipt of a letter
from her son, Lutte. written aboard the
Monterey just before she sailed for the
Philippines. If our navy is made up of

sailor lads seems anxious to get away to
the other side where they can he of ser

portion of his letter is interesting:
SPEEDY preparations are being made

In fact We are tearing the ship to pieces
and renewing her. There is no doubt

fights but she'll not be in it when she

ony who proposed emigrating from Iowa
to the west spent several days in this
vicinity looking over the country and
enumerating it's advantages with view
to finding suitable homes for those whom
they represented. They were so pleased
with what they saw and learned that
they had no hesitancy IN recommending
the Yakima valley to the friends at home.
Now the good news comes that full
carload will leave Iowa on the 2Oth for
this point and will Immediately 20 onto
lands in the Sunnyside country under the
big ditch. This is only the advance
guard OF what is to follow next spring,
should this colony meet Its expectations
in the way of good crops.

port that they are daily in receipt of let
