THE great metropolitan daily, the
Cincinnati Commercial Tribune Gazette
in yesterdays issue, editorially said:
OF the G, ZOO, 900 Philippine population,
Aguinaldo's disturbers represent not
exceeding 10000. The remaining frac-
tion accepts with glad consent the gov
ernment proffered by Uncle Sam.
1t was of such papers that Josh Bill
ings wrote, SIT is better not to know SO
much, than to know SO much that isn't
so."
So the population of the Philippines
that is favorable to Aguinaldo is only
30, 600, and all the rest of the 5000, ,00C
Filipinos are "gladly" on our side!
A population" of 10000 would mum.
Der perhaps 5000 men able to bear
arms. And the intelligent people oi
Ohio are told by this oracle, that it is
this pitiful band of Filippinos that has
defed our 10000 stalwart Ameri
can soldiers that were sent over
there. This is foolish. 1t would be
foolishness to send another soldier there
if this were true. There was too much
of this belittling the Filipinos wher
the war broke ont, or we would have
had SO, 600 men there, to begin with.

Ghosts would frighten many people who are
not afraid of germs Yet the germ is a real dan
ger. If this microscopic animalism could be
magnified to a size in proportion to It's dead
illness it would show like a giant python, or
fire breathing dragon. The one fact to re-
member is that the germ is pOwerless to harm
the body when the blood is pure. 1t is far
easier to keep the germ out than to drive it
out after it obtains hold in the system. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the most
powerful and perfect of blood purifying med
icines. 1t increases the quantity as well as
the quality of the blood, and enables the body
to resist disease or to throw it off II disease
has obtained footing in some weak organ.
Wherever the digestion is impaired, the nutri-
tion of the body is diminished, for the blood is
made from the food which is eaten, and hall
digested food cannot supply the body with
blood in quantity and quality adequate to its
needs For this condition there is no remedy
equal to "Golden Medical Discovery" II
cures ninety-ei out OF every hundred per-
sons who give it fair trial. When there is
constipation DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets will
promptly relieve and permanently cure.

THE indications are now, that Dreyfus
will be acquitted. His attorney, Labori,
has made an able defense, and has COM

who were apparently in a conspiracy
against Dreyfus. The Court, which at
first ruled against Dreyfus, on all ques-
tions, has turned about, and now keeps
his prosecutors in proper bounds.
