WONTAN'S ILLS.

Mrs. \. Ross. of Paris, Ont, is la

a large circle of friends. Regarding
a serious illness and subsequent cure
she saws: "When we think of the ma
nv fellow sufferers we should not hes
itate to let them know the means of
cure when we have found one. My
trouble began four years ago when |
was i'll, and had to undergo an opera

pose from the coming change of life,
I became so weak that I could not
move more than few steps without
suffering from palpitation OF the
heart. and sometimes fainting spells.
I was as pale as death and not able
to do my homework. Two doctors at
tended me and although they did all
in their power for me 7 felt that I was
sinking into my grave. What 7 un-
derwent can scarcely be described. FL
nally the doctor told me that he had
done all that he could for me. Then
my friends urged me to try DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills, and while in this
desperate condition 7 began their use.
BY the time 7 had taken six boxes I
was wonderfully improved. The faint
ing spells had gone and the pains had
almost disappeared. I could eat a
hearty meal and had increased in
weight. BY the time I had taken ten
boxes I was able to do my homework,
and from that out I have enjoyed the
best of health. I have recommended
Pink Pills to many others. and they
say they never used any medicine that
did them so much good. I am not
anxious for publicity, but suffering as
did. I am anxious that others shall
have the benefit of my experience 70

WHAT ENGLAND WOULD LIKE.
Hoping That United States VIII RE-
tain Control of the Philip
pine Islands.

There is no reason to doubt that
nearly all the influential leaders in
English public life are hoping that the
Americans will retain control of the
Philippines after the close of the war
with Spain. They don't profess to be
disinterested In their advice, nor to
look at the question from a American
point of view. They frankly admit
that the occupati ton of the Philippines
by either France, Germany or Great
Britain will subject the relations of
European powers to a dangerous
strain and they favor permanent
American control of the group in the
interest of peace. They are also sensi-
BILE of the great advantage which Eng
land would derive from the moral and
diplomatic support. of the United
States in all questions relating to
China and the far east if the Ameri-
can flag were raised at Manila for all

Over Two Hundred and Fifty Thou
sand Men Mustered Into Service
Army Experts of Europe Amazed
at Achievement.

A consolidated statement prepared
by Maj. John A. Johnston. assist ant ad-
jutant general, shows that of the 277,-
500 men authorized by congress to be
enlisted in the regular and volunteer
armies 254,479- up TO this time have
been mustered into the service. Of the
23,o3l yet required to complete the au-
thorized quota of the army, 13,3Os are
regulars; 5000 are volunteers under
the second call, s62 are immunes and
s51 are engineers.
The authorized strength of the reg.
ular army is 61,0C0. On April 80 it con-
tanned 26,500 men. Since that time
23,192 recruits have been obtained
from probable $4,000 applicants, by
limited number of recruiting officers
for the most part strangers in the
country canvassed and during period
Of competition by state authorities for

ments will show great increase as
this competition ceases. The strength
OF the regular army to-day, less recent
casualties estimated at 200O is 47,692.
The authorized strength of the vol.
unteer army is 216,500. OF this number
$4,000 were included in the pre- sident's
first call for troops, all of which have
been recruited, mustered and put in
the field; $4,000 were included in the
second call, $1,000 of which have been
mustered into the service, 1900 were
to constitute three special regiments
of cavalry, 10000 were immunes and
$500 We're engineers.
OF the volunteers under the second
call, $4,000 thus far enlisted have been
distributed among complete organiza.
lions already In the field and 30 COG
constitute new organizations. The
three special cavalry regiments com
manded by Coils. Roosevelt, Torrey and
Grigsby have been recruited to their
full strength, and there are hundreds
of applicants for any vacancies that
may occur in them.
The recruiting, mastering, equip.
ping and placing in the field of the
present great army of nearly 100000
in less than 90 days--nearly every man
having to undergo a strict examina-
tion-is regarded by army experts as
wonderful achievement. Officers
representing the great armies of Eu-
1opean nations have been amazed at
the work accomplished and admit
frankly that Europe contains little
of such fighting material as is to be
found In abundance in the United
States.

Does Baby
hrive?

If your baby is delicate
and sickly and its food does
not nourish it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of Scott's
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
1t is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
Scott's Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
1t is as useful for them in
summer as in winter.
Ask jour doctor if this rs not true.

c. M. Mitchell, of Mountain Grove,
Mo-, who owns big cattle ranch in
Prairie county, Ark, and j. r. Sim

vile the other day looking up the bold
theft of 1900 cattle, valued at $4,000,
which We're stolen from Mr.. Mitchell's
ranch and sold in various cities. OF
the number 231 were sold at the Bour-
bon stock yards in Louisville for 81, 224.-
so, the money being paid to G. NJ.
Miller by Tatum, Embry G. Co. Twen-
ty different buyers secured the cattle
of this lot. AS far as known this is
the only batch of the 1900 sold in Lou
isyille. The commission was paid to
Tatum, Embry & Co. by Miller. Moth
ing was known of Miller, but his trans
actions appeared to be regular. Mr..
Mitchell did not conduct his ranch in
person, and did not know of the rob-
berry until several days ago. His entire
herd was driven from the ranch and
shipped to different points, seven car
loads being sent to louisville. The
railroad companies are tracing the
other lots.

And Admiral Sampson was right.
The men under Schley's squadron of
SIMPSONS fleet made every shot tell
and the result Of their work was that
every one of the warships of Spain was
destroyed by explosions and sunken
in such manner as to resemble the
shattered battleship, the Maine.
AS soon as Commodore Schley dis
covered Cervera' s fleet in Santiago har-
Dor he began blockade of that har-
Dor, and the statement went broadcast
through the newspapers thatthe Span
lsh fleet was BOTTLED up" Recently
there have been inquiries made con-
corning the origin of that expression.
It was first used by Brig. Gen. Bar
nard, chief engineer of the army of the
Potomac, in June, 1864. Gen. Barnard
made use of that expression concern
ing the army of the James under COM
mand of Gen. Benjamin F. Butler. He
was answering inquiries propounded
by Gen. Grant, and used the expression
innocently, by way of illustration.
Gen. Grant, in his Personal Memoirs"
gives the story in full, with apologize
mention Of the fact that he gave Off
cial currency to the peculiar state
ment. "Ihe position which Gen. But.
Ter had chosen between the two rivers,
the James and Appomattox, was one

short one in comparison with the ex-

by the James river, his left by the
Appomattox, and his rear by their
junction, the two streams uniting near
by. Then bends of the two streams
shortened the lines which had been
chosen for entertainments. while 1t in
creased the area which the line en-
closed. Previous to ordering any

patch says that the war department
has ruled that the president alone can
appoint officers to vacancies in vol

Spain Will Remember the Maine
for All Time to Come.
Never Before Has a warning Nation
Had Better Bnttlecry-Origin
of the Expression "Bot.
tied Up"
Especial Washington letter.

TFHE WAR with Spain has quick
ened many minds to memories
y of the civil war. In private
conversations and in public prints war
stories constitute the predominant
topic; and some of the veterans tell
stories of their own recollections of the
Mexican war, while others narrate in
stances told them by their fathers con-
corning the movements of troops and
individual acts of heroism in the war
of 1912.
Everybody is proud of the new navy
of this country, and every conversation
concerning the war bears primarily up
on the work which has been done by
Dewey, Bagley, Hobson, Schley and the
other otficersand men on our warships.
1t is well known that all of the men
of the navy have determined from the
first that Spain in particular and the
whole world in general should remem-
Der the. destruction of the battleship
Maine in the harbor at Havana on the
night of February 49, 1898. When Adj
miral Dewey, regardless of contact and
, other mines in Manila harbor, started
In direct line for the doomed fleet
of Montejo, over his flagship he ran up
the signal Remember the Maine" In
Manila bay there were seven armored
cruisers and two gunboats flying the
Spanish flag, and three other boats of
less Importance; and there were $500
officers and men with modern artil-
lery equipments in Monteio's feet.
The signal of Admiral Dewey was re-
sponded to by the cheers of every man
under his command, and with vivid
recollection of the disaster and outrage
to the Maine they went to work, smoth-
cred the fire of the enemy, and COM
pletely destroyed the entire Spanish
naval complement in Asiatic waters,
Spain sent Admiral Cervera into
American waters with the best ships
of the Spanish navy to teach the
Americans something about war. Ger
veras squadron was soon bottled up
in the harbor of Santiago, and when an
attempt was made to escape, the ar
mored cruisers Almirante Oquendo, In
fanta Maria Teresa, Vizcaya and Girls
tobal Colon, with 1000 men, all of them
war vessels of the Maine class, were de-
stroyed in actual warfare, as the Maine
was destroyed in time of peace by Span
ish demoniacal criminality. And the
men under command of Commodore
Schley went into that fight also with
the signal flying, Remember the
Maine"
When Admiral Sampson held his first
conference with Gen. Shafter after
plans had been agreed upon for COM
hined attack upon the city of Santiago,
Admiral Sampson said: II hope, gen.
eral, that you will have the men under
your command as thoroughly imbued
with the desire to make the Spaniards
remember the Maine as the men of the
navy are determined to do. Before this
campaign is over we will make those
Spanish ships in the harbor look like
the destroyed battleship in Havana har-
Dor, and every officer and man aboard
Of my fleet is determined that every
shot fired shall carry with it death and
destruction to the nation which is re-
sponsible for the destruction Of our
