Henceforth, therefore, the programme In
the House must be largely one of waiting
upon tho Senates conclusion respecting

good offers have been made for her
hand, since Of tie three sisters she is
far and away the most clever and COM

young German and Swedish princes and
grand dukes have really wished to have
her to wife. But the Princess Victoria
has not yet found husband to her
mind, and, to her mothers great dis
may, she cherishes an ardent ambition
to lie q genuine wage-earner.
Two years ago she fitted herself for
nursing, and announced her intention
of entering the London hospital. There
were serious family conclaves and not
until sent to interview her very decided
grand-mama on the question did the
young princess relinquish the plan.

After meals you should have simply
q feeling of comfort and satisfaction.
You should not feel any special indi-
cations that digestion is going on. If
you do, you have indigestion, which
means not digestion. This may be the
beginning of SO many dangerous dis
Eases, that it is best to take it in hand
at once and treat it with Shaker Diges-
tive Cordial, For you know that indi-
gestion makes poison, which causes
pain and sickness. And that Shaker
Digestive Cordial helps digestion and
cures indigestion. Shaker digestive
Cordial does this by providing the di-
gestive materials in which the sick
