WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Going into decline" How often do we hear this expression What does it mean? It means that people are losing flesh, growing thin, wasting. .-e.
 The way to correct this condition is to improve the digestion. The condition arises from an inability to eat and di- gest food. In fact, food does more harm than good, because it fern1ents and putrifies in the stomach, developing poisonous substances which when ab-- sorbed cause various disorders.
 What is required is that the stomach be made to perform it's duties. Mother Seigers Curative Syrup promotes diges- tion and assists in the absorption of food. It will make the stomach healthy. Write for book and read about it.

Eject OF Lyddite.

The extraordinary effect Of lydditt
has been revealed by the statement
that. during the recent experiments
with the hulk Of the old battleshir
Eellisle. shells containing that explos.
i've refracted fragments upon the at.
tackipg vessels. which were 800 yards
distant. Other fragments dropped
close to a gunboat situated 1000 yards
abeam OF the line Of fire.
The deduction drawn is that when
lyddite Is used there Is danger for q
friendly vessel at least 700 yards
away. The London Outlook compares
lyddite with boomerang. and points
out that, to be Of any service, 1t must
be dropped right Oh board O hostile
