Kinley about the situation there
1t is said, now that the admiral fully
realizes his strength with the peoplc. he
will upon his return to Washington TO at
tend the forthcoming meeting of the Phil
ippinc commission make certain recon-
mendations to President Mckinley, and IN
the event of the President failing to act
upon them the admiral will make his rec
ommendati lions public.
1t Is also limited that failure of the adj
minstratiOn to pursue an adequate policy
in the Philippines will be the one thing
which may induce Dewey to change his
mind about accepting the nomination for
the Presidency.
DISCUSSING DEWEY.
Discussing Admiral Dewey as Prcsi-
dental possibility the Buffalo Courier
says:
'If the people through the medium Of
the democratic party ask him to become
the chief magistrate of the nation, IT is
believed that he will consent; and his con
sent would undoubtedly determine the re-
suit of the election in advance. The re-
publican lead 1rs can not disguise their fc-
yer of fear that he will be the instrument
of the death blow to McKinleyism,"

A SHORT LONG STORY.

The story of disease as Mr.. Long tells it is very
short. 1t be summed up in the three phrases
which chosen for illustration. "a terrible
cough" vCould not sleep" "No appetite"
When man can't eat and can't sleep, he can't
live If he can eat but can't sleep there's madness
dogging his steps. But if both sleep and appetite
fail him, he is a doomed man unless help comes to
him. When these symptoms are associated with "a
terrible cough" friends begin to whisper to each
other that otnnous word consumption.

The cures accomplished by Golden Medical Dis
covery" are to be attributed simply to a rational
method Of treatment. The reason that so many
medicines fail to help is because they treat the effect
instead of the cause of disease. For example, when
seeplessness is experienced it is common to try all
sorts of socalled "nerve medicines" These are in
general, narcotic compounds. They do not feed the
nerves but drug them into drowsy numbness
When appetite fails recourse is had to so-called
"tonics," false appetite is created, and food is
forced on the feeble stomach. But when nature
takes away the appetite desire for food, it is be-
cause the stomach and organs of digestion and nu-
triton are in condition to prepare the nutriment
for the body, and the false appetite created by
"tonics" and stimuants only makes the condition
worse by forcing the stomach food which it is
too "weak" to digest assimate.

The meteorites have usually as one of
their component parts metallic iron. Ma

some have been found which were per-
fectly cold.
