VERY SIMPLE MATTER.

To lie in bed at night turning from
one side to the other without being
able To sleep is very distressing. Ev-
crything is quiet and everybody around
You peacefully sleeping and you try in
vain In pass into that state of forget
fu!ncss which gives rest to both body
and mind and rcinvgorates the system.
If YOU do fall into a doze perhaps you
have horrible dreams which are worse
than being awake and suffering. and
YOU wake tired and dragged out morn
ings. This condition is the result of
ovcrwork, worry, or disease due to acts
of imprudence and excuses. DIR.
Greene, 50 West 14th ST., New York
city. the widely known specialist. has
cured many cases Of this kind and if
YOU are suffering in this way he can
cure YOU. Dr. Greene can be consulted
by letter, free. If you are suffering
from any disease write to him at once
and get his advice.

curiosity in this country, but n native
Filipino who can speak the English
language with iluency and is in every
thing except his olive skin the counter
part of Il cultured American or Euro

curiosity. He can tell an American au-
dience in their own tongue exactly what
they wish to know about the strange
people with whom we have been
brought into contact as result of the
war with Spain. ana with whom we
are now, unfortunately, engaged in Il
