the ordinary illnesses of childhoodI
Any woman may insure the health OF her
children who will take proper care OF her
health in a woinanly way. The health of
her children depends almost entirely upon
her general health, and particularly upon
the health and strength of the delicate and
important organs that bear the burdens OF
maternity A woman has no right to dis
regard her own health, comfort, ease and
happiness, she certainly has less right to
condemn her children to life of suffering
or an early death. That is what she does
if she neglects the health of her special
womanly organism. DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is an unfailing remedy for all
disorders of this description. 1t strength
ems and invigorates the sensitive organs
concerned, and is the best preparation for
the trials and dangers Of maternity. 1t in

One of the first things for American
energy and common sense to accom-
plish, as soon as Cuba and Porto Rico
are under our protection, will be the
sanitation of their cities. Sewers will
displace surface drainage Water sys-
TENS, drawing supplies from mountain
reservoirs, will supersede cisterns If
staSnant rain water. Cleanliness in
domestic arrangements will be made
possible. and, if necessary, enforced.
Quick means of transportation will
bring truck farms and fruit patches
into freSher communication with the
kitchen. Economical ice plants will
make possible a more strengthening
diet of meat and will add to the deli
cacies of the table. Riotous wilder
nesses will be transformed into bloom
ing fields of paradise. In time, the ma
tive population will wonder how it ever
lived without the comforts. refinements
and wholesome appliances of Anglo
Saxon civilization.

Assuming that the report from Vic
\ torla that Great Britain is strongly
y1ortfylng the station at Esquimault,
near that place, and intends to make it
as impregnable as Gibraltar" the
question naturally arises. Why is sha
doing so? There does not seem to ba
any pressing need for a Gibraltar in
that region. To be sure, it is Britain 8
only naval base on the Pacific side Of
her North American possessions. and
there are interests, notably those of the
Canadian Pacific Railroad and steam
ship lines, TO be protected but who
threatens them? Not their neighbor
across the border. surely. A fortified
post on Vancouver island would be
small defence against the United
States, and, besides, these are times
of amity and not warfare between the
two nations. Is the new movement a
precaution against Russia. an offset to
the Siberian Railway, with its terminus
at Vladivostock? That looks more
plausible thap any other hypothesis
that presents itself at present.

The epigrammatic genius who once
remarked that there is something
Spanish in the Spaniard which causes
him to behave in a Spanish manner
may be recalled with possible advan-
tage at this time of peace-seeking
which we hope will be quickly followed
by one of peace-making. Spain must
pay the penalty of her folly. This we,
in self-dcfense. must insist upon. But
a period has been reached where in
discriminate abuse and hatred may
with decency pause to reflect upon the
Spanard's inability to change his ma
ture, and that this nature has con-
stituted him an 'onery cuss" and the
most extraordinary human puzzle in
