If every man could live an out door life.

the world. Unfortunately, the demands of
modern civilization will permit very few
men to live this ideal, healthful life.
Many men have to pass the day shut up
in Offices and stores, and the nights i'll close

little out door exercise. One of the results
of this unhealthy, sedentary living is the
awful prevalence of that dread disease

each year are due to this relentless enemy.

contemplates the imposition of various
taxes. The inhabitants of the northern
provinces, however, especially OF Pam

impression that the revolutionists would
abolish taxation entirely.

Aguinaldo desires the Associated Press
to inform the world that there is con.
elusive evidence that many SpanIarus and
priests are intriguing with a faction of
the natives to foment disturbances, SO
that Americans will believe the whole
population TO be irreconcilable. He as

What a Pennsylvania Chaplain Saw
at Chickamauga.

Philadelphia, Sept. 25.-Rev. Cyrus L.
Brady, archdeason of the Protestant
Episcopal diocese of eastern Pennsylvania
and chaplain of the First regiment,
Pennsylvania volunteers, in a sermon to-
night severely criticised the management
of the volunteer camps which came under
his supervision at Chickamaugua, where
his regiment was stationed for a long
time. He said the medical, cOmmissary.
quartermaster and ordnance departments
were all to blame, and continued thus:
Il personally saw men left in the hos
pital in camps for SO hours without any
medical attendance whatever.
Il saw men in those hospitals suffering
from fever with the rain beating down
upon them.
II saw men committed to the care of
unskilled attendants when it was absO-
lutely impossible for them to receive any
thing like the attention they deserved.
Il saw men suffering from fever, lying
with their mouths open and their mouths
filled with flies.
In conclusion the archdeacon said: 81

eminent service, say more: There is
much more that might be told if it were
proper for me to tell it, but perhaps this
will suffice. 1 had not intended TO touch
