Z AS A CERT DESTROYER
Made from the Fresh Green Leaves of
the Tasmanian Blue Gum Tree,
NO DANGEROUS INGREDIENTS
The Most Perfect Skin and Toilet Soap Ever
Manufactured.
HARMLESS. FRAGRANT. STIMULATING.

That a Soap could be manufactured
without the use of fats and oils COM
bined with al alkali has been a great
surprise to chemists. The base OF all
soaps from the cheapest laundry to the
finest toilet having always been made
i'll this way. However, their surprise
was not SO great as the pleasure Of the
medical profession when it was found
that a perfect soap could be made from
the fresh green leaves of the Iasmanian
Blue Gum Tree; these leaves furnish
ing product, which, although three
times stronger than carbolic acid as a
germicide, is perfectly harmless. For
years these leaves have been the only
cure known to the natives of Tasmania
for skin diseases, wounds, etc, and are
to-day used in the principal skin disease
hospitals of Europe, to the exclusion of
all other remedies. Now that it is posi-
BILE to incorporate them i'll toilet soap
and yet retain all their medicinal quail
ties, skin diseases can be treated more
successfully than before, application
of the nedicant being made in this way
without the use OF ointment which
naturally clogs the pores Of the skin.

The Luzon Campaign.

The campaign in northern LuZon is
now being waged with an energy and
persistence that means that Aguin-
aldo's game is pretty nearly up. His
army has crumbled away and its scat
tered fragments are fleeing to the I'M
friendly mountains. He is himself a
fugitive with few followers. His So
called government has gone pre-
cipitously out of business, and no town
Is dignified by the name of capital.
The fighting power of his army is gone
and the American troops are sweeping
over the island. with but little resist
ance.. to crush out what life remains in
the insurrection.
The increase in the size of the
American army makes it possible 70
garrison and hold towns once captured,
and in the next few weeks more regi-
ments are due to arrive at Mania. Inc
towns heretofore taken have had to be
abandoned on account of lack OF men
to garrison them, and this mas account
ed for the slow progress made. Now 1t
is different and Agunaldo must realize
it. He has been losing his hold of late
upon the FilipinOs and in the towns
captured most of them welcome the
Americans with JOY. More and more,
also. our men are understanding the
tactics of the amigos. and get fooled
BY them less than formerly
IT was thought that the active cam
paign would not be opened again until
the rainy season was over, but Young,
Lawton, Macarthur. Wheaton and the
rest have not waited for that. The
cavalry is now in the active work for
the first time, and our boys are plung
ing through the mud on the grand
hunt. 1t was expected that vigorous
defense would be made at Tarlac, but
the insurgents gave up their capital
with hardly Il blow. OuA army now
holds the whole railroad line. and the
insurgents are cut off from the sup
plies that have been smuggled to
them from China and Japan. In their
present flight they have left great
quantities Of arms, ammunition and
supplies behind
If Aguinaldo could only be captured
the Instruction would be over. As it
is, it does not seem that his bluff will
deceive his followers much longer. The
present campaign makes it evident
that peace ana order will soon he es-
tablished in Luzon. and consequently
in the whole Philippine group. The
policy Of supprcssing the rebellion is
having less and less opposition here at
home. Those firing upon our soldiers
and our flag are finding fewer and few
er little Americans to give shem SYM
pathy ard support. and this is one Of
the most encouraging signs Of the
times.
