A recent report made in one of the daily papers from Govern ment officials at Washington, gives considerable attention to the digestibility of foods, a sub ject of vital interest to the hum an family, yet, about which very lit tle is known. Oae of the surprising things is that stone fruits, such as peach es, plums, etc., take as long to digest as fried eels six hours while venison can be converted into blood in one hour. Iu fact, this is one of the easiest foods to be dige- ted. Boiled tisb, raw eggs, rice and apples are quickly digested, while roast veal is hard to manage. While it is pointed out that easily digested f jod should be eaten fre queutly, the warning is made that the stomach should not get ao customed to light loads, and the more diflicult things to digest should be eaten, Go wall Rush. The demand for that wonder ful stomach, liver, and kidney cure, Dr. King's New Life Pills is astounding. At Trout's drug store, they say they never saw the like. It's because they nev-r fail to cure sour stomach, consti pation, indigestion, biliousness, jiundice, sick headache, chills, and malaria. Only "lis. "Famous Songs and Their History.

They are featuring one of these old songs and hymns every Suuday, with its complete history. They are intensely in teresting, and lovers of - music and people musically inclined should read these great articles, for they are valuable and educat ing.
