Don't let amy one persuade you to get
anything else instead of Simmons LiV-
err Regulator. Some merchants will
try to do this, but not for your good.
They do it to make little more profit
on something which is of an inferior
quality, though you must pay just as
much for the bad as for the good. Be
sure to take Simmons Liver Regulator,
and nothing else. Look for the red z

1t remains now to state few Of the
causes which make the British army in
fact considerably inferior to that army
on paper.
It is notorious and has been for many
years that while Great Britain never Sc
cures quite enough m en- to keep the es-
tablisbment Of the regular army at the
level provided by Parliament, it only OBJ
tains even this inadequate number by
lowering the level of the physical quail
icaGion to a low standard. II the army
is only few thousands below its nomi-
nal strength that is because Britain is
content to fill the ranks with lifted boys
from the least vigorous part of the popu-
lation, and only ask them to be five feet
four inches in height, 33 inches in chest
measurement and 1856 in weight. But
'sspeciaP eulistments are also allowed
to men who fail in reaching these stand
ards. Further, large number of the
army are under 20 years of age, one hall
of whom are under New York Her
aid.

II tina dispatches are to be believed the
Cuban general Gomez has fallen into
trap set for him by Gen. Campos and been
badly beaten. Of course it is not safe to
place implicit confidence in any of the
reports that come from Cuha-and official
reports are the most deceitful of all.
But the news has an air of probability.
BY advancing so far away from their
base of supplies the rebels exposed them
selves to the danger of being cut off and
surrounded. 1t was very auda-
cious move on the part of Gomez
to march his little army of ten or twelve
thousand men, poorly supplied, and
without artillery support right into the
face of an army three or four time as
large and we'll supplied with all the NUM-
tions of war. Probably Gomez never
intended to bring on a pitched battle
with the Spaniards for that would have
been piece of foolhardiness which SO
skiful o general as he has shown
himself would not be guilty Of His
march was probably intended to stir up
rebellion in the Eastern provinces and
perhaps in Havana itself, and perhaps
also to impress the United States to which
the Cubans are just now looking for a
recognition Of belligerent rights. 1t w as
doubtless his intention to keep line
open for retreat, after he had accom-
plished his purpose in the Havana
province. If the Spaniards have succeed
ed in obstructing it they ought to have
no great trouble il capturing most of his
army, if they display any sort of energy
and military skill.
