THE AFRICAN TROUBLE
Causes Which Led to the Invasion
of the TransvaaL


! Wh1le pubic aUtenulOn mas Deen eX1
lcited for several weeks past over the
lTransvaal invasion few have paused to
inquire what the trouble is all about.
The independence of the Transvaal as
distinct republic was recognized by
the English government as longago as
1852. The recognition, however, car
lried with it some kind of claim of
suzerainty which was supposed to pre-
vent the Beers government entering
+, into any foreign alliance or treaty
without the knowledge and consent oi
Great Britain. In 1880 the British tried
to assert their supposed authority in
/ way that the Beers did not like. When
it was resisted resort was had to force
of arms, with the result that England
was compelled to withdraw its troops
entirely from Transvaal territory. In
1881 another recognition of the inde-
pendence of the Transvaal republic was
wrung from Great Britain.
The population of the Transvaal is
about 100000, but not more than ten
per cent. of this number is white. OF
the white population, what are known
rs Uitlanders constitute the large ma
jority. British settlers form more
than one-half of these Uitlanders. It
is they who are really at the bottom
of the present disturbance. One of the
sections of the Transvaal constitution
provides that none but Beers shall have
any share in the government of the re-
public, and that the Dutch language
shall be taught exclusively in the
schools. At the same time 90 per cent,
or whereabouts, of the taxes levied for
the support of the government is as
sessed against the Uitlanders, though
they are allowed no voice in the gov
eminent of the country.
Since the mining boom set in Uitland-
ers have been swarming into the Trans
vaal at the rate of 1000 or so a month
Rich gold and silver mines abound in
the territory, and Johannesburg, where
the trouble at this time is conferred, is in
the very heart Of the mining region.
The new arrivals among the Uitlanders
naturally want their children to

the Body.
History records the occurrence OF
most disastrous fires. A few times our
own country has been visited in this
way with tremendous force. Yet how
insignificant they seem when COM
pared to the raging fires of the sun.
A recent writer in one of our monthly
journals, illustrates the enormous heat
which the sun gives out, as follows:
he says that If all the coal which exists
on this globe could be placed in one
mass, and then Immediately burned
up, it would not produce as much heat
as the sun throws off into space in
one-tenth of second. OF course, we
cannot comprehend what this means,
But there is another fire constantly
burning, of which many of us are
not aware, although we live very close
to it.
We all know that the human body is
warmer than the surrounding atmos-
phere; while during cold weather the
difference is very marked. What keeps
the body warm? Because it is con-
stantly burning up.
We replenish the fire in the stove by
adding more coal or wood. The oxy-
gen of the air unites with this fuel and
heat is produced. The fuel for the
body is our food; and the oxygen
obtained from the air we breathe
combines with it and heat is produced.
This heat is constantly escaping from
the skin. During summer we dress
lightly to aid it's escape. During
winter we put on fannels, because
wool is not good conductor of heat,
and will not allow it to escape SO freely
from the surface of the body.
If person is plump in flesh, that is,
if he has layer of fat just beneath
the skin, he has medium which holds
in the heat of the body, as layer OF
wool does when placed on the outside
of the skin. Persons who are plump in
flesh do not SILVER with every cool, in
MIGRATING breeze. Neither do they
require so much food, for as the heat
cannot escape so readily, so it is not
necessary to add as much fuel. Plump
ness means protection defense against
coughs and colds shelter for an escape
from neuralgia and sciatica; shield
to throw off nervous prostration bet
ter security from the germs OF con-
sumption an escape from a thousand
aches and pains which cling to body
that is poorly nourished. Plumpness
is prosperity, thrift, good nature, hap
piness.
SCOTS Emulsion of Codliver Oil with
Hypophosphites will not make you
over-fat, simply plump, just about
right. 1t puts that coat of fat over
the body, pushes up the skin, and re-
moves wrinkles and angles.
SCOTS Emulsion contains more pure
Norwegian Cod-liver Oil than any other
emulsion in the world, that will stand
the test of time as being perfect in
separable emulsion. Ask your doctor.

there is no school in the republic where

The disastrous ending of the expedition
has caused no end of worry to the Eng
fish government, but has not utterly
failed of it's purpose. According to the
latest reports President Kruger cvinces
a disposition to make concessions to the
Uitlanders, who may not only get their
schools but be allowed voice in the af-
fairs of the government.
