London. May THE Morning Post
says: The United States must decide
quickly about the Philippines. II they
leave half-done the task they have be
gun the consequences may be mos,
serious. II they are not prepared to
govern the island themselves they
must decide their fate so as to prevent
them falling into anarchy.
The Daily Chronicle says: "The Phil
ippines, no less than Cuba, should be
thrown open to the light of federation
and civilization. 1t will be time to dis
cuss the proposals of the many claim
ants to do the work when the United
States has been heard from on the
subject"
The Standard says: Whatever pre-
ponderance OF strength Commodore
Dewey enjoyed he could not have ac-
complished the work without that
mixture of dash and tactical resource
which constitutes military genius. For
the vnnquished we can have only a
feeling of commiseration. They

to the Inevitable and to purchase back
the Philippines by formally renounc-
Ing her title to exercise rule in the

Glove is not love that alters when 1t alteratsoa

That is one of the sublimest lines in all
literature 1t is the final definition of love
by the world greatest reader of the human
mind, Shakespeare. Nearly all women
who truly love, love in this sublime way.
Men seldom do.
Woman's most glorious endowment Is
the power to awaken and hold the pure
she loses 1t and still loves on, no one in
the wide world can know the heart agony
she endures. The woman who suffers
from weakness and arrangement of her
special woman1y organism soon loses the
power to sway the heart of man. Her
general health suffers and she loses her
good looks, her attractiveness, her anna
bility and her power and prestige as a
woman. DR.. r. v. Pierce, of Buffalo. N. Y,
with the assistance of his staff of able ply
sicians, has prescribed for many thousands
of women. He has devised perfect and
scientific remedy for women's ailments. 1t
is known as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. 1t Is a positive specific for all weak
nesses, diseases, disorders, displacements,
irregularities, and facilitating drains pc
culiar to women. 1t pur1hes, regulates,
strengthens and heals. Medicine dealers
sell It, and no honest dealer will advise
you to accept a substitute that he may
make little larger profit.
