How to Tell pure Cocoa.

Pure cocoa of good quality is of rich
red-brown color. When It is so dark as
to appear almost black 1t Is a sure sign
that 1t has been tempered with in the
making, or that 1t was made from cocoa
beans OF a poor quality. The black color
itself does not show strength at all, as
some foreign manufacturers pretend; 1t
shows that harmful alkaline additions
have been made at some stage Of the
process or that the cocoa has been
artificially colored with coal-tar dyes or
lamp-black AS the powdered cocoa is
sold in sealed packages, the simplest and
most practical way for the average house,
keeper to escape being imposed upon is to
buy goods bearing the name and trade
mark OF a well-known and reputable
manufacturer
The special value of the Walter Baker
cocoa lies in the fact that not only is 1t a
pure article with a most delicious flavor,
made by a scientific blending OF the best
beans grown in different parts OF the
world, but 1t is ground to an extraordin-
airy degree of fineness, being driven In the
last stage through a sieve with ten thou
sand meshes to the square inch, so as To
produce the greatest possible degree oil
solubility.

ONE OUGHT TO KNOW
HOW TO STRENGTHEN THE ORGANS
OF DIGESTION.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills Really Cure
Indigestion Instead of Merely
Relieving Symptoms.

There are plenty Of remedies by which
you can relieve for the time heartburn
pain and gas ON the stomach and car
smother nervous sensations and induce
artificial sleep. You can humor your
stomach by giving it predigested food.
But when you take your next meal ali
your trouble begins afresh.
There Is only one sensible thing to do.
Strengthen the stomach and do away
with the necessity for drugs and arti-
hcial foods. The stomach, once in proper
condition, will do its own work better
than any process devised by man can
ever do it. The best remedy ever found
Tor this purpose is the one that was used
by e. e. Strong, of Capleville, Shelby
county, Tenn.
"For years." he states, az suffered
greatly from indigestion. tried many
different remedies and some of them
would relieve me for time, but the
trouble always came back About six
months ago l had an unusually severe
attack, and while 1 tried everything I
had ever heard of, found that none of
the ordinary remedies would reach the
difficulty this time.

an account of the very remarkable cure
OF Michigan woman, a sufferer from
chronic dyspepsia of most stubborn
type. Twelve doctors had at different
times treated her without success. but
at last she was entirely cured, and in
short time, too, by the use of DR.. Will

to make trial Of the Same remedy and il
proved just as successful i'll my case.

that am permanently cured. IhAve not

ton for the last two months"
The tonic treatment has a sound prin.
ciple as its basis, and abundant success in
actual uso. Multitudes of cases that had
deied all other remedies have been cured
by DR.. Williams Pink Pills. The pills
actually make new blood aud strike at the
root OF all diseases caused by bad blood.
They contain no harmful stimulants or
opiates, are perfectly safe and create no
drug habit. Every dySpeptic should read,
