There is the widest possible differ
ence between the establishment of an
independent government in the Phil
ippines and the annexation OF those
islands as colonial possessions of the
United States. Let US give to the
Filipinos what we have promised to
give to the Cubans. That is demo-
cratic. The Selling of the islands is
not. To do that we should have to
forget everything we have learned
within the last 100 years. Instead OF
breathing the spirit of Lafayette, we
would become believers in the policy
of Warren Hastings. If we believe in
the acquisition of the Philippines. we
must assume that Lafavette's only
mistake was in leaving free the land
he had helped TO make free. We have
responsibilities in the matter of the
Philippines. and the great response
bility lies in the necessity of giving
them their freedom and preventing
their mslestation by foreign govern
ments.
Bryan and Dewey, two great
Americans, stand on the same plat
form on the Philippine question.
They are both in favor of giving the
Fill inos freedom as well as the Gu
bans. They are both. in a word. con-
sistent as well as patriotic Americans.

How toPrevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from 4 cold or
from an attack of Ia grippe. During
the epidemic of Ia grippe few years
ago when so many cases resulted in
pneumonia, it was observed that the
attack was never followed by that dis
ease when Chamberlain Cough Rem
edy was used. 1t counteracts any
tendency of cold or Ia grippe to re-
sult.in that dangerous disease. 1t is the
best remedy in the world for bad colds
and Ia grippe. Every hc.tle war
ranted. For sale by all druggists.

How to Look Good.

Good looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on a
healthy condition of all the vital or
gans. If the liver be inactive, YOU

if your kidneys be affected, you have
a pinched look. Secure good health,
and you will surely have good looks
Electric Bitters" is a good Alternative

stomach. liver and kidneys. Puriiies
the blood, cures pimples, blotches
and boils, and gives 4 good complex
ion. Every bottle guaranteed. Sold

QUEEN CHRISTINA, of Spain, be-
Iicyes that children could be brought
up with much greater ease if each
mother were allowed to pun
ish. not her own. but her neighbor's
children. Wonder if the queen re-
gent would relish the application of
this maternal prerogative to the cases
of all mothers in Spain? The effect
of broad-minded, but vigorous, Ma
drid mother working the reciprocity
act with the little king over her knee
would be relished by the world at
large, though perhaps not entirely to
the queens taste.

Two Great Americans.

Imperialists are bitter in their de-
nunciations of William Jennings
Bryan and very patroniZing in their
references to Admiral George Dewey.
They imagine. doubtless, that because
Admiral Dewey thrashed the Span
iards handsomely at Manila that he
i. therefore, favorable to their i'm
perialistic schemes. But such does
not follow, and in fact is not sus-
tanned by anything Admiral Dewey
has said; but, on the contrary, is dis
proved by the language of his report
10 Secretary Long, in which he stated
that the Filipinos are better fitted
for self-government than the Cubans.
Further. the Chicsgo Times-Herald,
in Il recent editorial, declared that it
is lin a position to state that Admiral
Dewey is opposed to the United States
anneNing the Philippines This is
exactly the position of William j.
Bryan. The following is Mr.. Bryan's
declaration on the Philippine ques-
ton. 1t is eminently patriotic and
sensible, and embodies all he has said
on the subject upon which he has
been so outspoken. Mr.. Bryan advo-
Gated the approval by the senate of
the peace treaty and the raising of the
issue against Imperialism. He said:
Il think great error has been made
over the question of the Philippines
in judging the popular mind. The
sentiment which opposes the giving
back of the Philippines to Spain has
been mistaken for a sentiment in
favor of annexation. One does not
follow from the other ny any means.

THE CAUSE OF
APPENDICITIS
HAS BEEN DISCOVERED
How Il VIII Be Prevented
in the Future.

Until within the past few months the
cause of appendicitis has been attributed
to the swallowing of grapes, tomato,
cherry and other fruit seeds which were
supposed to lodge III the appendix and
set up an inflammation, bat after operat-
ing upon thousands of cases and finding
no sign of any irritating substance the
medical profession began to look further.
They were not long III discovering that
Intestinal Indigestion, only, was the true
cause but here again they were brought
face to face with a germ disease Tor
which they had no cure. Like the germs
of disease which cause Catar-h, Bron-
chitis and Consumption, this bacilli could
not be reached except by one germicidc
strong enough to kill them without in
Jury to the patient. The question then
arose, could this gernicide be given
through the stomach and have the same
effect as it did in discs se of the air pas
sages. Experiments were made during
:he past summer, and II was proven that,
combined with other remedies for dys-
pepsia, Hyonlei acted like charm and
was equally as efficacious IN destroying
these germs as those of Catarrh, Bron-
chitis and Consumption. This discovery
resulted in the placing of Hyomei Dys-
pcpsia Cure on the market. and now for
the first time in the history of the medi-
cine cure treating each kind of dyspep-
STA separately is given to the public. In
festival Indigestion, the most dangerous
of all, can now be successfully treated
and the national disease. dyspepsia.
which has increased yearly in spite OF all
so-cailed cures. can now be completely
eradicated and appendicitis prevented.

What Do the Children Drink.

Dent give them tea or coffee. Have
you tried the new food drink called
Grain-O? 1t is delicious and nourish-
ing and takes the place of coffee. The
more Grain-O you give the children
the more health you distribute
through their systems. Grain-O
is made of pure grains, and when
properly prepared tastes like the
choice grades of coffee but costs about
as much. All grocers sell it. 10
and 25 cents.
