Poor Food InrpectloH

A physician writing in the Medical
Record remarks that the public now
SO much interested in canned beef for
the army seem to forget the extent TO
which food adulteration affects civil
ians. The use of boratic and salicylic
acids to prevent decomposition is
harmful to digestion and ought to be
prohibited. In any case, canned beef
is a small item compared with the
general subject of adulteration- Tbs
inspection of food supplies Of all kinds
is far more effective in England than

OTIS NEEDS REINFORCEMENTS

WASHINGTON, June o. Secretary
Alger, Adjutant General Corbin and
Colonel Bird, assistant quartermaster
general, in charge of transportation,
had an hours consultation with the
President relative to the ques-
ton of reinforcements for General Otis
A definite decision has been reached to
continue recruiting men at all the re-
cruiting stations for service in the
Philippines and Secretary Alger said
when he left the White house, after
the conference, that General Otis
would have 40, OJO men when the rainy
season closed for resumption of &C
tive operations.
Officers scattered among the prin-
cipal cities of the country who have
been enlisting regulars only, win be
instructed Immediately to prepare to
enlist volunteers The present indi-
cations are that about 10, 900 men will
be wanted
Volunteers will not be accepted in
organizations Secretary Alger is de-
termined to adhere to that rule. 1t
is the present purpose to disre-
gard state and local lines in
securing the recruits and welding
them into organizations. Regiments
will be designated the First, Second,
Third, etc, volunteer United States
infantry or cavalry. No difficulty is
anticipated in securing the men
needed. 1t is believed that the !, 900
men who are weekly offering them
selves at the recruiting offices will be
even more willing to enter the army
as two year volunteers than as long
term regulars.
Officers of these volunteer regiments
will be obtained by promoting officers
now in the regular army and by COM
missioning many of the best officers
of the volunteer organizations which
saw service

Those Who Would Solve Great Question
Must First Acquire Information.
is AN EDUCATIONAL ENTERPRISE
First Greater America Exposition Offers
a Splendid Opportunity to Study Our
Colonial POssessions-Omaha,J July L
to November I, 1899.

The dominant purpose OF the Great
er America Exposition Project is to
bring the American people into actual
contact with representative types of
the natives of the Philippine islands,
as we'll as thos of Cuba, Porto Rico
and Hawaii; and the products and re-
sources OF their soil and Industries;
point out the commercial possibilities
OF a closer union, and afford the widest
possible information on every phase of
the pending question of expansion.
This it Is proposed to do by compre-
hensiVe exhibits, not only from the
Philippine islands, but from the other
islands named.
The first acquisition of colonial ter
ritor'- by the United States was of such
recent occurrence that this first formal
manifestation of the chief characters
tics OF these acquired lands is fraught

ZenS, who are equally earnest in COM
batting or upholding, with undoubted
patriotic zeal, the cOntemI plated nation
al policy of expansion AS a matter of
fact, few adherents of either side Of
this great controversy are adequately
equipped with the knowledge best cal
culated to lead them to a wise solution
of the problem. While Americans are
heatedly discussing the capacity or the
Filipino for self government, or his
adaptability to enlightened citizenship,
none of us, with the exception of the
few returning and heroic promoters of
American arms and valor on far shores
have ever seen Filipino. Fourteen
months ago most of US had never
heard the name. Those who recalled
their childhood's lessons knew that
there was somewhere, few knew Just
where, a group Of sea-girt lands known
as the Philippine islands; but it was
the reverberating echoes Of the valiant
Dewey's unerring guns that fixed in
the American vocabulary the word
Filipino.
Aside from this pre-eminently in
teresting and novel phase of the Great
er America Exposition project, ii is
proposed to present the most compre
hensive and instructive exhibition of
American ingenuity, and industrial
handicraft, ever attempted. The won
derfuI perfection and economy Of
American manufacturing industry will
be shown as never before, and in
charmingly interesting and instructive
way, by means chiefly of live exhibits,

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting

tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitua1 constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make 1t the ideal
laxative.
In the process Of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
