Is Health Worth Ten Cents?

Man suffers many mysterious ailments
from unknown causes, and nine-tenths Of
them have their origin in the digestive
canal somewhere. 1t does any person
good to clean out this canal occasionally
in a rational way, provided it is not done
in a violent manner. The proper cleans
ing and disinfecting preparation is Cas-
carets Candy Cathartic, which are very
gentle, but at the same time thoroughly
effective. A Zoe box will purify the whole
system and in most cases remove the
cause Of Ill heGlth. When feeling bad"
take Cascarets. They will do you good,
and can do you no harm.

Have American Spirit.

"Thesc people comprise seven
eighths of our population. or the re-
mainder our leaders, political and mil
itarv, many were educated in the
United States.
There they have imbued the spirit
Of liberty and learned the meaning OF
a true republican form of government.
In their knowledge, ability and integ-
rity we place our trust, and under the
guidance and protection of the United
States l can see for Cuba a future of
brightness.
"Of public schools in Cuba, we have
had none, and public press has
been but the mouthpiece of the mon
archy, and in consequence n large per-
centage of our populace is completely
ignorant and has n tendency TO dis
trust any effort to govern them by a
foreign power.
"For this reason, If for no other, the
establishment of any form of govern
ment should be done with the utmost
frankness on both sides and a clear
understanding of the relations that
are to be established between the gov
ernment and the people governed. III

innate acquaintance with the strength

hope to be able to point out to the adj

The cook is given so much a day, and

day, including even the staples that
are usually bought In large quantities
in other countries. On a dollar n day
n cook will provide n very good table
for n family of three or four, and get
enough beans and tortillas and chile to

IMBUED WITH SPIRIT OF LIBERTY
A Frank aud Open Statement ny
Masso OF His Hopes In
Relation to Cuba's
Future,

Washington, ID. c., Aug. s.-George
Reno of Louisiana, who has been with
the Cuban insurgents three years,
reached Washington yesterday and
presented to President Mckinley a
communication from President Masso
of the Cuban provisional government,
with headquarters at La Esperanza,
Puerto Principe province.
President Masso was anxious TO ex-
plain the attitude of the provisional
| government to the president OF the
United States in view of the friction
between Generals Shafter and Garcia
and the misrepresentation he feared
might exist in the American mind as
TO the attitude Of the Cuban insur-
gents.
President Masso's message to Presi-
dent Mckinley is in part as follows:
IL am anxious only to bring about
peace and n feeling Of satisfaction
which will crafty both the Cubans
and the United States. We fully real
ize and are delighted with the fact
that we are in the hands of the people
of the United States, for in them and
their government we have the most
implicit confidence.
THE slightest friction or misunder-
standing with the administration Mt
Washington would give us unbounded
nnin.

Sincere Old NIasso,

Our only wish is to know what is
desired of us, and what are the views
entertained by your government re-
garding us with reference to the solu-
ton of the problem Of the future of
Cuba.
knowing my people ms / do, l can
not think that the problem of recon
struction if rightly approached, is as
serious as II may seem to outsiders. !
know hat the question Is seriously
asked whether the Cubans are capable
Of governing themselves; can they be
trusted to govern?
Our people, unlike those of other
Spanish-American countries, are not n
warlike people, and they were driven
to rebellion by the greatest possible
oppression as a last resort to avoid
absolute slavery, if not humiliation.
Once the Spanish people leave this soil
il will be q most serious occasion, in
deed that could bring about an armed
resistance.
The vast majority of the popula-
ton Of Cuba are agriculturists and
possess neither ambition nor the de-
sire to hold Office. To be left alone to
the cultivation of the soil and the en-
ioyment Of their home life is all they
ask.
