Advanced Medical Science knows Of
powerful Alternative medicine than DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Alternative medicines,
so-called because they alter change the condition
of the system, have ranked among the most valued
of medicines prescribed by physicians 1t is by the
slful and scientific combination of several such
alternatives that Dy. Pierce has produced altera-
tive remedy, having the specific value of each in
gredient and the combined and concentrated power
of all these alternatives in union, which
blended and so balanced that the unite the great
est delicacy of operation with the utmost healing
power. 1t is these facts which give this greatest

The action of Golden Medical Discovery" is
primarily directed to the stomach and the nutrtve
or digestive system Here is a common starting
place of disease
what "Manh Stomach" Means.
There never was a strong man with a " weak
stomach And so-called weak stomach may
and often does mean weak heart, weak liver weak
lungs. Why! Because in the stomach the nour-
ishnent for each organ of the body is prepared and
from the stomach it is distributed. Bread kneaded
in trough will take on the faint of the trough.
Food mixed and prepared in tainted stomach will
take the faint and poison of that stomach all over
the SYSTEM to finally lodge at the weakest point of
weak organ. Hence it is that in curing the
stomach and other organs of digestion and nutri-
ton, and in increasing the activity of the blood
making glands, Golden Medical Discovery at
creased supply of pure blood because the blood is
made from the food taken into the stomach and
with the weak stomach " made strong and foul
blood made pure, comes change to other organs
which gather strength to throw off disease.

it puts into Natures hand the only weapon with
which she can fight disease.

The Ideal Father.

Writing of the ideal father and ideal
home training, in the Ladies' Home
Journal" Frances Evans refers to the
home life of well-known writer who
considers no affair of greater import
ance than the direction of his four boys
minds. His boys run in age from 10
to IL, but even the little lad of 10 is
admitted to the family talks, which are
teaching these boys to think for them
selves. Instead q telling. the children
to keep quiet at the dining table, both
parents, with wise kindness, promote
and direct the natural talkativeness OF
youth into fruitful channels. The
father brings home the news of the
day, and each boy is encouraged to ex-
press himself on these current topics
when they dine at night, provided he is
willing to think about what he is say
ing, not deliver some careless, ignorant
opinion, then obstinately stick to it..
Argument is encouraged, and frequent
ly started by the father. Each boy may
give free rein to his opinion as long
as he keeps his temper and argues his
best. No slovenly habits of thought or
expression are permitted in this fam
ily- The topic in hand may be anything

SUING FOR PEACE.

At this writing a new batch of en-
issaries from Aguinaldo is on the way
to meet General Otis in Manila with
view to adjusting TERMS of peace. This
third attempt by the insurgents TO
bring about a cessation of hostilities
as evidence of weakening on their part,
indicative of speedy collapse of the
cause of the Filipino. 1t is unlikely
that General Otis will recede at all from
practically this: Lay down your arms,
submit to the authority of the United
States, proceed about your business as
peaceable folk and no one will disturb
you, rob you of any liberties or inter-
fere with any of your personal human
rights. The United States cannot treat
with you; it cannot recognize you as
political or other body with which con-
tracts can be formed or obligations and
exchanges be adjusted
In short, Aguinaldo has but to quit
fighting and there is an end of the
whole business. But it is understood
that he and his so-called Congress are
especially concerned about that clause
in the American Spanish treaty recog-
nizing the property rights of the church
and Of individuals in the archipelago.
To this clause Aguinaldo is bitterly OPP
posed. He fears that it means a. return
of the friars and church orders to the
same old rule Of tyranny and intoler-
ance, exaction and robbery under the
guise of taxation, which SO much af-
fiicted the Filipinos prior to the over
throw of Spanish domination. But
Aguinaldo fails to appreciate that a
church under the American system is
not and cannot become a political
power. The friar, the priest, the head
of a church order, the layman, the
humblest person. stand in estimation
of our laws upon a. level. Moreover, We
have not the power now. even if SO
minded, to change the treaty. That is
fact accomplished, and all the objec-
ton Aguinaldo can possibly make will
to deprivation of the opportunity to re-
venge themselves upon their ancient
enemies, and of license to loot their
places and confscate to their own gain
the millions Of money represented by
church property.

The naval authorities of European
States are manifesting the liveliest anx-
iety to pay Admiral Dewey special
honors as he passes through foreign
waters en- route to his native land. It
is to be hoped that their desires in this
regard viii meet with qualification. The
Admiral will pass the greater naval sta
tons of the world and sail along the
most historic shores of the globe. He
will come very near to and will proba-
bly, stop at some of the most famous of
the cities of earth, and will touch
in all probability at number of very
important points. There will, therefore,
be ample opportunity for foreign ma
tions to honor the hero In doing this
they will pay respect to the nation he
represents. We are therefore now to
prepare ourselves to hear of fattering
ovations and distinguished manifesto
tions of honor all along the route
Dewey will pursue as he sails home,
and Of course we are to be duly proud
and lift our heads just a bit higher.

time negotiations proceed for the pro-

Kreuger and the Governor of the Brit

while there is a probability that the

are that the British authorities of the
Colonial Department have announced
that the meeting will not be permitted
unless as condition precedent Presi-
tain reforms will be initiated. What
these are we are not Informed, but it is
probable that they relate first to the
status of British subjects in the Trans
vaal; second, to English property in
terests in mining in Boer land; third.
to the concessions demanded concerning
certain railway lines, and lastly, the re-
moval of certain burdens of taxation.
