FREE TO MILLIONS.
A Valuable Little Book Sent Free 70,
the Asking.

Medical books are not always inter-
esting reading, especially to people en-
joying good health, but as a matter of
fact scarcely one person in ten is per-
fectly healthy, and even with such,
sooner or later sickness must come.
1t Is also a well established truth that
-tenths of all diseases originate
with a breaking down of the digestion,
a weak stomach weakens and impov-
erishes the system, making 1t easy for
disease to gain a foothold.
Nobody need fear consumption, kid
ney disease, liver trouble or a weak
heart and nervous system as long as
the digestion is good and the stomach
able to assimilate plenty of wholesome
food.
Stomach weakness shows itself in a
score of ways and this little book de-
scribes the symptoms and causes and
points the way to a cure so simple that
anyone can understand and apply.
Thousands have some form of stom-
ach trouble and do not know 1t. They
ascribe the headaches, the lanquor. .net-
vousness. insomnia, palpitation, constis-
patton and similar symptoms to some
other cause than the true one. Get
your digestion on the right track and
disease or nervous debility will rapidly
disappear.
This little book treats entirely on the
| cause and removal of indigestion and
its accompanying annoyances.
| 1t describes the symptoms of Acid
| Dyspepsia, Nervous Dyspepsia, Slow
| Dyspepsia, Amylaceous Dyspepsia. Ca
tarrh of Stomach and all affections of
the digestive organs in plain language
easily understood and the cause re-
| moved.
| 1t gives valuable suggestions as to
| diet, and contains a table giving length
| of time required to digest various ar
ticles Of food. something every person
with weak digestion should know.
No price is asked. but simply send
your name and address plainly written
on postal card to the f. A. Stuart Co.,
Marshall, Mich, requesting a little book
on Stomach Diseases and it will be sent
| promptly by return mail. a.

WHALEBONE.
No Substitute Invented Equal to the
Production OF the Right Whale.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Is whalebone less valuable today
than it was seven years ago? The
question suggests itself by reason of the
lower prices obtained at the recent
sales held in Dundee, where a ton o.
whalebone, part of the catch of the
whaler Active last year in the Artic
regions, has been disposed of to a for
eign firm for f1,S00. At the previous
sales, held in the earlier part of 1898,
"baleen," to give whalebone it's other
name, realized $4,000 a ton, but since
then, it is said, the market has been
considerably depressed. The reason for
this it is difficult to say, especially as
the whaling season last year proved a
disastrous failure, the vessel referred
to above being the only one to secure
a catch. The rise in the price of whale
bone during the past thirty years has
undoubtedly been very marked, and
some consumers are of opinion that it
has been carried too far. Between 1867
and 1877 whalebone was worth no more
than f400 a ton but from that time up
to the present values have been rapidly
rising, and in 1890 sale was readily
effected at fl $50 a ton. OF course
whalebone is now only used in the
manufacture of corscts or dresses of
the very best description. but it is gen.
orally admitted that no substitute has
yet been invented which is equal to the
productions of the right" whale. Good
whalebone defies initiation as much
today as it did in the old times. when
London was the headquarters Of
fiourishing whale fishery.

THRIFTY ICELANDERS.
They Want Teiegraphic Connection
With the World.
From the Independent.

From the Independent.
But not only are the Icelanders stead
lily increasing in material wealth, they
seem also to be making the best use of
their enlarged opportunities. AS there
are no great capitalists in Iceland the
government. is compelled to take the
initiative in many enterprises that in
other countries might better be left to
private individuals. Thus a large ap-
preparation has been made this session
for SubSidiZing steamship Communica-
tion with Denmark and along the coast.
When these arrangements are COM
pleted il will be possible for the tour
ist to reach Iceland much more read
lily than is the case now. a contract
has been made with a Danish COM
pany by which sixteen trips year will
be made between Reykjavik and Cop
enhagen and six trips along the coast.
Even more important for the future
development of Iceland is the proposed
plan for telegraphic communication
with the Shetland Islands over the
Farce Islands. A large appropria tion
for this purpose was unanimously
passed by the althing, and the Danish
government has signified it's intention
to give the measure substantial aid.
While no final arrangements with either
of the companies that bid for the con-
tract have been made, there is no rea-
son to doubt that the plan will be sue
cessfully carried through. A natural
extension of the idea would be a north
Atlantic cable between America and
Europe. with Iceland as a stopping
place. One direct practical and scien-
tifc result of the present scheme would
be to add immensely to our meteoro-
logical resources by furnishing daily
weather reports from Iceland.
OF immense importance for the health
of Iceland is the new arrangement of
the state medical system. Thirty years
ago there We're only seven official
physicians in the whole Iceland. Under
the new arrangement the island will be
divided into forty-two medical dis
tricts, each with a regular physician.
A salary, varying in amount i'm the
different classes,is attached to the posi-
tion in addition to patients fees, which
latter are regulated by government or.
dinance, and there is n pension. But
when one thinks of the enormous dis
tances to be travelled on cold, dark,
winter days and nights, there seems Ia
be no occasion to envy these Icelandic
country doctors their salaries and pen

WANTS THE PHILIPPINES.
Spain Hopes to Retain thap Rich Islands
When War Ends-All Hope Of Inter.
ventiOn Abandoned.

LONDON, June 97.-It is apparent
that the most which Spain expects
when the war has ended is the Philip
pines, the loss Of which would be the
most terrific blow which could be dealt
her. She has given up the hope of in
PREVENTION by any foreign power, and
realizes that whatever is done to get
her out Of the difficulties into which
she has been plunged must come
through her own efforts. The recent
utterance of the duke Of Almodovar
that no power is willing to risk war
with strong nation like the United
States by taking up the fight of q
weak country like Spain, is just the
situation. He expresses the sentiments
Of the government when he declared
SPANS troubles must be settled BY
her own statesmen.
