The report states that Aguinaldo
wished to attack the Americans when
they landed at Paranaque, but was de-

growing friction between the Filipinos
and the American troops.

In is refreshing to know that at
least number of Democratic news
papers have the courage to express
their honest convictions as to the
business conditions of the country.
1t might be we'll to state, however,
that these editors are not contami-
mated with the free silver dogma.
Here is what the Philadelphia Times,
Democratic, says "Everything now
points to a season Of most substantial
prosperity, and there is not even a
cloud as big as a mans hand on the
business horizon to indicate the posi-
bility of revulsion. There is danger
of reaching the point of reckless in
fiatiOn but that has not yet Feen ap-
preached, and until it does come the
general business of the country may
be regarded as based on the most sub
stantial foundation. Our country has
to-day every possible element OF
prosperity for all classes and condi-
tions, with every indication that it
must endure until some great failure
of industrial products or wild infa-
ton in speculative circles shall halt
The highest tide of the most health
full progress the nation has ever
known"

the new food drink called GRAlN-O? 1t is
delicious and nourishing 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

tastes like the choice grades of coffee but
