CAMARA AND HIS GUESSING con-
TEST. g.
Apparently Admiral Camara is jeal-
GUS or envious of the "hOnors" won by
that famous naval strategist, Cervera,
and is trying to emulate him by pur-
suing a plan of operations even more
calculated to bewilder spectators than
was Ceryera's. For weeks we have
been kept guessing and wondering as
20 the meaning of the movements OF
the so-called Cadiz squadron, though.
If the Spaniards but knew it, we have
been curious rather than apprehensive.
IL does not in the least matter to us
which way Camara finally decides TO
go if he really intends going anywhere.
We are ready for him at either end
and would be glad to have an opportu-
nity to dispose of the remnant of the
Spanish navy under his command.
CARRY THE WAR INTO SPAIN.
II seems that nothing short OF an
offensive war against the peninsula it
self will convince the rulers of Spain
that it Is engaged in a futile struggle
with the United States. Spain is far
removed from the seat of war. Her
army in Cuba costs her nothing be-
yond the credit it has to purchase sup
plies and the small quantity of muni-
tions of war that percolates through
the blockade 1t gets neither food nor
pay from Spain. For all practical pur-
poses Blanco is defending the Spanish
flag in Cuba and subsisting his army
on the country for which he is fight
ing.

"Resolved, That no one is entitled 10
participate in this meeting who voted

part OF the Glasgow men. III. A. Latane
offered as a substitute for Hyde's motion
that the meeting now proceed 20 elect its
permanent chairman. Then the fight be-
gan. Mr. Hyde, in sustaining his reso-
luton wanted to know who were en-
titled TO vote If the Republicans and
gold-standard Democrats were going 10

Democrats who upheld Bryan's banner In
1896" He begged 10 have a Democratic
meeting Many others took the floor and
begged for strictly Democratic meet

A motion was then made 10 reconsider
the vote, and that motion was lost;
whereupOn large number OF those pres
ent left the meeting and repaired 10 the
house the Amsterdam and Ftncas-
tie meetings having adjourned, and pro-

THE SELFISH BRAIN.
How II Rob- the stomach and what
Follows the Robbery.

According TO De Quincy. the supreme
prize In life Is the union of fine intel
iect and a healthy stomach. Why TINS
combination Of blessings IS so rare Is
easy to see. The brain is selfish, and the
more active II Is the more blood II
takes from the stomach. That the
stomach may need the blood for the d.
stion Of "A tough. intractable dinner
makes no difference TO the brain. Hence
so many clever men are more or less dys-
peptic. and some Of them say, with Alex
ander Pope. MY life Is "A long dls,ase.'
The whole bodily machinery Is thrown
out OF killer by a disOrdsred stomach.
Sedentary habits. nervous stress ana
strain, and careless living make matters
worse. Doctors agree on some Things, a
popular proverb 20 the contrary, not
withstanding. They agree that the best
medication for a feeble stomach Is a
stimulant free from any Of the thousand
and one mischievOus sG1stdnt!als that
make so many liquors" dangerous.
o. The king Of medical stimulants Is
Dunys Pure Malt Whiskey. which you
can obtain from grocers and druggists:
1t is Immediately beneficial In cases OF
impaired digestion for IL promotes the
secretion Of gastric juice, and expands
the network Of tiny blood vessels IN Inc

is a germ disease, the bacilli will not IN
wade sound and healthy lungs. The lungs
must first be in a diseased condition.
First a man feels little out of sorts.
Probably he is overworked and has given
too little time 10 eating, sleeping and rest
ing. His appetite falls off. His digestion
gets out of order and his blood does not
receive the proper amount Of lite-glving
nutrincnt. The liver becomes torpid and
the blood is filled with impurities. These
are pumped into every organ OF the BODY,
building up unhealthy, half-dead tissues
The most harm is done at the weakest spot
and most frequently that spot is in the
lungs. slight cold leads to inflamma-
ton, the bacilli invade the lungs and we
have a case of consumption.
