The Severity Of this Dis.
ease Increases Each
Winter. g

Though the disagreeable effects OF Ca
tarrh are felt all the year. round, cold
and unpleasant weather aggravates
the disease and 1t is during the winter
season that its seyerest form is felt.
Each succeeding year seems to in
tensify the disease, SO that it gradually
fastens its hold upon the sufferer with
a grasp that becomes frmer each sea-
son.
Catarrh often appears as only cold
at first, and is hardly noticed. But
gradually the cold returns, and it is
more difficult to cure, and stays longer
than formerly. These symptoms can
not be mistaken; they mark the first
appearance of a disease that will de-
velop in severity and stubbornness and
which it is impossible to cure with the
local treatment of sprays, washes, and
similar applications. Being disease
of the blood, only a blood remedy can
have the slightest effect upon it. SIS.
(Swift's Specific) is the only cure for
Catarrh, because it is the only blood
remedy which goes to the seat of all OBJ
stinate cases, and forces out the disease.
Mr. T. A. Williams, leading mer-
chant of Spartanburg, s. c., writes:
For four years had nasal catarrh,
and though the case was mild one at
first, it was not long until / noticed that
it was gradually growing worse. OF
course I was under treatment of first
class physicians, but their remedies
were applied locally, and the Catarrh

GODS HAND IN THE WORK.
What the Oxford Orphan Asylum BaS
Accomplished in Seventeen Years
Under His Guidance and Direction.

Amy response to an appeal for aid to
our work is encouraging. Surely love
for God prompts these responses, aud
as long as this spirit fills the hearts of
our people, such a cause cannot lack
for friends. God reigns and rules.
This is His world. Dispensations Of
His providence have placed these chill
dren here. If we but do our duty and
trust in Him, He will guide and direct
the work. Were it not for this belief, at
times we should grow discouraged, but
we look at the back history of the Ok
ford Orphan Asylum. see Gods hand
leading it through all its dark paths
into light again and we take courage
to press on in the future. relying upon
His guidance.
From 1872, when the late Bro. j. ii.
Mills. impelled by a great, loving heart.
introduced at the meeting of the Grand
Lodge of Masons of North Carolina a
resolution TO convert st. Johns College
into an asylum for the protection,
training and education of indignant
orphan children" and when the Ma
sons, led by their Grand Master above,
adopted the resolution and founded this
Asylum, God has watched over the in
terest Of these orphan children and
over the welfare of the institution with
fatherly care, and we have faith to
believe that He will still vOuchsafe His
watchcare.
Since 1878 over seventeen hundred
children have been touched aud, we
trust, blessed by the Asylum.
1t Is high privilege to aid and to
engage in this work. God can afford
to do without your efforts for His chill
dren, but you cannot afford not to ex-
tend your help. Aiding an orphan
child will enlarge your own heart, bring
1t into closer sympathy with the wretch
ed and poverty stricken. In this day,
when the tendency is to throw our
whole energles-our very beiug-into
mad race for wealth, we need every
exercise, every influence, which tends

GENERAL OTIS CAMPAIGN.
Although Success sful Il Was Not Car.
ried Out as Originally Planned.

Malolos, the capital Of the Filipino
republic, has fallen-fallen in ashes
and ruins. fred by the fleeing people
who have been forced to evactuate it
before the resistless advance of the
American troops. What then? Why
the Filipinos have merely fallen back
to another cpital and the American
troops are still moving on an ever
movable capital. The natives can.
not cope with US in open pitched
battle. They can only attack exposed
outposts or retard and harass our
advance by brush fighting tactics,
destroying the railway and bridges
and picking off our soldiers from
concealed lairs in the dense jungle.
These sharpshooters are invisible, sc
thoroughly invisible that our troops
can only vaguely locate them by the
sound of their rifles.
That the campaign of General 9th
as originally planned has not beer
fully carried out is due to no lack O
skill on the part of the commander
nor want of valor on the part of the
American troops, but rather to in
surmountable, unforeseen obstacles
and the tactics of determined and
not unskillful enemy. Otis plar
was to advance in four divisions will
the aim of turning the enemy's flank
getting in his rear and forcing him te
accept a decisive, pitched battle
With this design General Macarthur
was intrusted with the execution o.
the most important feature, but hi!
movement was so impeded and re
tarded by the natural and artificial
obstacles in his pathway and the
vigilance and CELEBRITY of the native
troops that the plan was abortive
The Filipinos were not entrapped
and, eluding every effort to hem then
in fell back upon Malolos, thei1
capital. Here, it was anticipated
they would make last determined
stand and either be decisively de
feated or dispersed. But here again
the willy Aguinaldo avoided the
crucial test OF open battle because h
we'll knew that his crude, alarmed
followers could not successfully cop
with us. They withdrew devastating
their capital, burning bridges anc
barricading their roadways as they
went. When they can impede ou
advance no longer, they will retir'
into the swamps and jungles ant
| from their concealment wage a con
tinuous guerrilla warfare until tn
rainy season puts a stop to activ'
American operations in the field. l
is the same harassing, unconquerabl
plan by which a handful of Cuban.
for years kept at bay the trained
regulars of Spain.
Such is our outlook in the Philip
pines. Unless we can effect a true
with them on terms that will assur
them their practical independence
we must annihilate them and de
vastate the fertile isle of Luzon, jus
as the Spaniards we're doing in Cuba
A year ago we were heaping curse
upon the Spaniards for doing jus
what we are now duplicating in tn
Philippines. These people are afflicted
with that species of fanatism whicl
our forefathers in revolutionary day
called love of liberty, and of whicl
we have ever since boosted.
