Tho Secret Is Now Ont.

London, July 15.-Cunningham Ora
ham, the former member of parlia-
ment, who wrote series of articles
most insulting to Americans in the
Westminster Gazette, has written a
letter to the ST. James Gazette that
the excellent gunnery exhibited by
Admiral Dewey's squadron was due to
the fact that ''most of the gunners
were Englishmen," who were "de-
coyed from our Chinese squadron by
promises of $500 monthly"

House.cIeaning is duty in every well-reg,
ulated household People don't wait until
the filth becomes painfully apparent, but it
stands to reason that in every day use more
or less dust or dirt accumulate 1t is so
with the human blood. From the enormous
variety of eatables taken into the stomach,
a quantity of useless material is bound to
accumulate in the blood and clog the free
and wholesome flow in the vessels. Every
person should from time to time have q
"blood- cleaning" and the best cleanser and
blood purifier is Cascarets Candy Cathartic.
