President Kruger and his friend,

Wants the Help of Native
Black warriors.

Howard c. Hillegas is the name OF the
author of a new book on the Beers OF
South Africa. He calls himself an
American, whose pride in the Anglo
Saxon race causes him to wish there
were more justice and less venom in the
alleged grievances of the Uitlanders,'
which led to the existing war between
Great Britain and the two Dutch re-
publics.
Mr.. Hillegas has lived among the
Beers for many years and is bold
enough to compare their early history
with that of the Pilgrim fathers. The
Dutch and Huguenot refugees who set
tied at Cape Town made their journey
about the same time as, the Pilgrims
sailed, and for the same purpose. Shev

1t may be a question whether the edi-

publicly recommend any Of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as a preventive of Isuffer-
ing we feel it duty to say Il good
word for Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy We have
known and used this medicine in our
family for 20 years and have always
found IT reliable. In many eases a
dose of this remedy would save hours
of suffering while a physician isiawait-
ed. We do not believe in depending
implicitly on any medicine for cure.
but we do believe that if a bottle Of
Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were
kept on hand and administered at tho
inception of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very MANY

would not be required At least this
has been our experience during the
