WRONG AND RIGHT EATING.
ONE MAKES US WEAK THE OTHER
MAKES US STRONG.

Wrong eating makes us weak, because II
doesn't nourish us. 1t poisons us, because 1t
sets up poisonous fermentation in our stomach
and the poisons go into our blood
Wrong eating is eating indigestible food, or
eating more than our stomach is able to digest.
Right eating is eating digestible food, food
that the stomach is able TO digest, food that will
nourish YOU when it is digested.
Right eating strengthens and invigorates the
. BODY. gives endurance, increases weight and re
stores health.
Wrong eating can be made right by taking the
Shaker Digestive Cordial. This preparation,
made by the Shakers from simple herbs, roots
and wine, is delicious, refreshing and strength
ening to the body. 1t is powerful aid to di-
gestion.
1t does not act by strongly stimulating the
stomach, but with its own digestive ferments
acts on the food in the stomach, and reduces,
instead of increasing, the work which the stom-
ach has to do.
This is why it increases your strength, why it
will cure you of all the bad effects OF Indigestion
and of insufficient nourishment, and pnrifes
your system of all dangerous indigestive poisons
when nothing else has been found to relieve you.

HANNA BRIBERY CASE.

Columbus, Ohio, January 3l.-The in
vestigation into the alleged attempt to
bribe Representative Otis to vote for
Senator Hanna during the late senatori-
al contest is rapidly drawing to an end.
The committee held q brief session after
the Senate adjourned this evening. At
torney L. G.. Campbell was the only wit
ness examined. He was recalled for the
purpose of allowing Senator'S Robertson
and Garfield, who were not present last
Friday when Mr.. Campbell was on the
stand, to question him. It is believed
the committee will complete its work
this week and that report, or rather
two reports, will be submitted soon.
Senator Garfield probably will submit a

Cars did run from Westbrook ocoa-
sionally but they had very hard time of
1t. On the Spring street line the shackling
OF two or three cars together was the only
solution to the problem of locomotion for
walking was out of the question and
without this means the cars would never
have been able to move at all.
! And still the railroad men struggle /
on. They worked harder than ever be-
| fore to keep their rails clear and as their
labor was purely one of public accommo
dation they are entitled to the utmost
credit for what they did or what they
| tried to do.
The Cape road had tho worst time Of 1t
perhaps than any other road running int
| this city. Some of this line it was utterly
impossible to keep open but the plows
were kept running back and forth and
occasionally a car would be able to keep
along after the plows.
The Boston and Maine trains were the
first to feel the effects of the storm on the
steam railroads. The trains on this line
were all delayed in the afternoon and the
train due here at eight O'Clock did not
get in until eleven. The train due her at
eleven p. m. was three hours late at last
accounts and the road was with difficulty
kept open.
Tho Maine Central Jared better during
the afternoon and early evening but the
night trains were all very late and at
three o'clock this morning the train due
here from the east at l. 40 had not arrived
and there was little prospect of its getting
here for several hours.
On the Grand Trunk the train due to
reach here ut six o'lock from Montreal
did not get in until half past nine. The
freight trains over the Grand Trunk were
sll late and traffic was nearly at a--stand-
still.

The wires between Portland and Boston
began to fade away one after another un-
til twelve O'Clock. At that time there
was one wire of the Western Union and
the Associated Press wire on the Postal
line which were in working order ha-
tween Portland and Boston. A little
later the Western Union wire went out
and this was followed little later still
by the failrr9 of the Postal's Associated
Press wire.
The news was then sent from the Bos-
ton headquarters around by the way OF
Montreal to Halifax and then repeated to
Portland. This worked fairly we'll for
some time and then the Halifax office re-
ported that they had lost Montreal that
the wires were all down and Portland was
completely shut off from the outside
