why People should BE Careful What They
Drink Especially At This Time OF Year.
"Do you know that there is dangerous
poison In half the water we drink"
It was an eminent professor of natural
science who recently made this startling re-
mark. II am only stating fact" he con inu-
ed when ] assert that in the sprlngti Oe
nearly all our drinking water contains traces
of poisonous vegetable or animal matter. We
drink this water. the poison gets into our sys-
TENS and II IS largely the cause OF so many
pc. pie feeling weak, worn out and sickly at
this season.
"Do recommend boiling the water? No. 1
do not. for while that may kill the disease
germs II does not remove them. A far better
way is 10 use pure whiskey with It. The best
physicians In America unhesltatingly declare
this, but-and bear this most carefully IN
mind-it must be pure whiskey. for impure
whiskey Is worse than impure water"
The prOGessOr Is certainly right and he
might have appropriately added that scien-
tifc me are also fully agreed that no whiskey
used In America to-day IS 20 chemically pure
or so free from fusel oil as Duffy's pure malt.
IL has successfully stood the rivalry OF all
other whiskies. Why2 Simply becsuse 1t has
done wonders for people who needed strength,
vigor and vitality. Thousands testify TO the
great benefit derived from taking IL Load .ng
physicians say It is undoubtedly the best
thing for counteracting the evil effects o.
poisonous water. Ihey also endorse IL as the
best remedy for tired feelings and spring
weakness. AS there are many inferior imita-
tiOns OF Dufy's pure malt. care should be
taken, when purchs seing. 20 see that none Of
these Is substituted by the dealer.

The Cuban Situation.

From the New York Times.
After making all due allowance for the
Inaccuracies, both Intentional and unin
tentlonal, that mark most OF the news
from Cuba, It Is stu obvious that the
rebel cause Is making no less progress
now that Weyler Is In command than 1t
did while Campos was at the head Of the
royal forces The new general has failed
utterly In his Efforts TO bring about de
ciaive engagement, while the bands under
Gomez Maceo and the minor leaders con-
tinue 20 60 about where they choose and
TO do about what they please or
course. these detached companies are
''repulsed" as often as ever, bat that
means absolutely nothing except-what
every body knows-that they are conduct
ing guerilla warfare, instead Of wasting
valuable lives In comb.ts with men
better armed than themselves. In this
struggle, he who fghts aud ruHs away
may be 'brlgand" In the eyes OF his
Spanish foe, but he does more fighting,
not only on another day, hut often during
the same afternoon Hence the royallsi
indignation. and hence. also, the STEADY
exhaustion OF the roysllst resources in
men and money. The system Is not
heroio, Il Is effective.

An ExpIoded Humbug


From the Kansas City Star.
While the Mckinley boom Is bestriding
the earth Ike 8 colossus. It seemg as II
the people and the statistics are combin
ing to destroy Il before 1t reaches the st.
Louis convention. According to
the official records the volume
OF imports now Is no greater than during
the period the Mckinley tariff law was
In force, whIlo the exports are largely In
excess and co 1st ntly increasing. These
facts would clearly imply either that the
new tariff law is better for the CONNER
cial interests Of the country or elss that
the people are manipulating the business
to the confusion OF MoKinley's aspsrA
tlons. and implement on either horn Of
the dilemma IS fatal The truth Is that
McKinleys single idea is an exploded
humbug, and every day presents new
evidence of the fact, so that by the time
the convention meets the folly Of Nc
Kluley will be as obvious as the absur
Oily Of McKinleyism will be apparent.
