Cruel Fate of the Egrets,

Florida is rapidly losing it's fiocks of
herons. The white egret is being
slaughtered into extinction for the sake
OF the beautiful white feathers ON its
back, which. when plucked and placed
Oh . fiinty hearted woman's hat, become
an aigret.
The scale on which the massacre Of
these beautiful birds is being carried on
is almost incredible. An idea Of it may
be gained from the fact that one egret
will furnish only one sixth of an ounce
Of plumage feathers, and yet at public
sale in London less than year ago more
than 1000 ounces Of osprey plumes were
offered for sale. This meant that more
than 66.OOO egrets had been put to death
for the sake Of their pIumes, that some
fair dame might be more gsyly deco.
rated.
The most lamentable feature Of the
slaughter of the beautiful and innocent
birds is that the feathers grow at the
time when the egrets are nesting and
breeding. The best plumes are taken
from the upward tuft at the back, which
10 developed at the breeding season.
though feathers are, Of course, taken
from the wing and breast. They are
common to both sexes. and it is impossi-
BILE to distinguish between the male and
female. An egret is shot, the few
coveted feathers are torn from its back,
its body is left to rot on the ground and
the young ones perish Of starvation

Dig down to the cause Of your sickness, if
YOU want to get well and stay well. Most
likely it's indigestion. Thcirritatne poisons
of fermenting, putrid food, left in the stomach
by indigestion, cause headache, nueragia,
nervousness dizziness, stomachachc, nausea,
irrtability, 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 easily cured. But as soon as
the poisons are removed, all these symptoms
and disorders disappear, because there is
nothing left to cause them. Nothing sue
ceeds in this like Shaker Digestive Cordial.
because it prevents the undigested food from
fermenting in the stomach and helps the
stomach to digest food.
