Dig down to the cause of your
sickness, if You want to get well and
stay we'll. Most likely it's indiges-
ton. The irritating poisons of fer
menting, putrid food, left in the
stomach by indigestion, cause head
ache, neuralgia, nervousness, dizzi-
ness, stomach-ache, nausea, irrita-
bility, and all the other well known
symptoms of indigestion.
They also cause many pains and
disorders which are often laid to
other causes and hence are not cas-.
lily cur, d. But as soon as the pois-
ons are removed, all these symp-
tons and disorders disappear, be-
cause there is nothing left to cause
them. Nothing succeeds in This
like Shaker Digestive Cordial, be-
cause it prevents the undigested
iood from fermenting 10 the stom-
sch and helps the stomach TO digest
its food.

Piano Practice.

The poor girl who is forced to practice
on the piano two or three hours a day may
take heart and hope She has a friend in
the world Of music He is a power among
pianists, and one of his distinguished pu-
pills is no less a celebrity than Paderewski.
Leschetizky for that is his simple name,
does not believe in long hours A pupil
may practice two hours a day if she cares
to, but one hour Of good work is in his
opinion sufficient. This is certainly de-
lightful news and would surely horrify the
professors of the Berlin Conservatorium,
where 10, IL and IA hours are considered
none too much for an earnest student.
Leschctizky' playing is described as airy,
delicate and beautiful" and he is the fa-
vorito master in Paris now. He was pu-
Pil of Czerny s, who wrote those desperate
ly difficult exercises, and who was, as all
pianists know, Bcethoyen's favorite pupil.
