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-
gcstion, not nourishment) weakcns
the system and allows disease
germs to attack it. The antidote
is Shaker Digestive Cordial
Strengthening, nOurishing, curative.
Ii cures indigestion and renews
strength and health. 1t does this
by strengthening the stomach, by
helping to digest your food. 1t
nOurishes you. Shaker Digestive
Cordial is made of pure herbs.
plants and wine, is perfectly harm
less and will certainly cure n II
genuine stomach trouble. Sold

If there any small pox down the line

we believe, for general vaccinna

Free Mail Delivery In Rural Districts
May become an Established Ns-
tional Institution.

The experiment in rural free mail
delivery, made from 140 post offices
throughout the country, is to be con-
tinued, owing 20 the increase by con-
gress Of the appropriation available
for this purpose. If rural free mail de-
livery becomes an established instr
tuition il will remove one more of the
drawbacks to rural life in the United
States. Perhaps the time is not far
distant when the American woman's
dislike Of country life will be succeeded
by an appreciation of it as hearty as
that felt by her English cousin.
Rural free mail delivery ought to be
as successful in the United States as it
is in England, if for no other reason
than that the country in the older Sec
tons of the United States is more
thickly populated than it is in England.
One of the greatest obstacles to rural
free mail delivery in this country has
been the absence of good roads. Some
of the experimental routes now under
trial are in the vicinity of Moorestown,
N. j., from which place radiate many
miles of improved roads, built under
the state road law. In that vicinity
mail is now being distributed at the
farmers homes by carriers upon BIZ
cycles, so that the roads, which make
the use of bicycle, equipped with
mud guards and gear case, possible in
all kinds of weather, except when the
ground is covered with snow, have con-
ferred upon the inhabitants the addi-
tional benefits of free mail delivery.
The past reports of the stone road
commissioner of New Jersey have con-
tanned communications showing a
much greater activityin the real estate
market in the neighborhood of i'm
proved roads. Every additional con-
venience added 10 rural life must make
that life seem more desirable to the
American women who are chiefly re.
sponsible for the flocking of the Amer
lean people to villages and towns
Good roads, bicycles, free mail delivery
all tend to counteract rapidly that
dislike of an isolated life which has
been handed down from mother to
daughter from the time that America
was wilderness inhabited by wild an
imals and savage men. The conven
fences spoken of help to make rura
life not only possible, but enjoyable
and they afford opportunity for de
velopment of that interest in country
affairs which must be the basis of per
feet content with rural life.-Phila
delphia Inquirer.

FAVORABLE DECISION.
Good Roads, Says the Iowa Supreme
Court, Are of Benefit to Every
Citizen of the State.

A decision which is favorable to the
improvement of the highways has been
rendered by the Iowa supreme court,
and is based on the principle that
good highways are of general bene-
fit, not only to the territory through
which they pass, but to the inhabitants
of cities and towns, by facilitating
travel, and thus promoting intercourse
and trade"
The question at issue was on the
right of county to collect taxes in
cities and towns for road purposes.
A railroad company claimed that it
was double taxation, on the ground
that the cities already laid tax
for their own streets, and further
claimed that taxes could not be levied
in one part of county to use in an
other part,
The court decided against these
claims and, it would seem, very justly.
1t is a very shortsighted policy for a
city to desire to limit its work of road
improvement to its own borders. In
order to grow and prosper and main
tain healthy activity the roads from
the surrounding country which nour-
ish it and take its merchandise in re-
turn must be kept open and in good
condition. This is at least as impor-
tant for the city as for the country,
and they should divide the expense in
right proportion.--L. A. w. Bulletin.
