THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

THE EXCEL, LENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured

assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with tie medi-
eel profession, and the satisfaction

given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty

DEWEY'S VIEWS.
In Thorough Agreement With Those
of Commissioner Schurman.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE World pub
fishes a dispatch from Gibraltar giving
an interview with Admiral Dewey, just
before the Olympia sailed for New
York. The Worlds correspondent ask
ed the admiral for a statement of his
views as to the Philippine policy.
I've little to say" he said, until
the recommendations of the commission
of which I am a member. are laid be-
fore President Mckinley"
Did you read what Mr.. Schurman,
one of the commissioners, had to say
upon his return from the PhilippineS?' p
LAS he is quoted in the newspapers
he definitely explains my position. I
quite agree with what Mr.. Schurman
ance to his opinions He is an able and
highminded man, whose intelligence
and Conscientious devotion to the task
assigned him won my admiration. We
were invariably in accord"
Admiral Dewey has never expressed
regret that he asked to be made one of
the Philippine commissioners. On the
other hand he has said that he is glad
that he was a member of the commit
tee and his greatest desire now is to
put its report in the hands of the presi-
dent as soon as possible.
You may add this the admiral said
with great earnestness. I have not
changed my opinion which I stated in
the early days at Manila, then speaking
of knowledge of both peoples, that
consider the FiipinOS more capable
of self government than the Cubans
4 took the keenest interest in those
FilipinOs who were employed at the ar
senal in Cavite and often I was sur
prised by their intelligence. With fair
and properly directed opportunities
there are great possibilities in the Fill
ipinos."
From Montpelier the admiral expects
to return to Washington for the ses-
sions of the Philippine commission.
Il do not know" he said, 'if Colonel
DENLY will return by that time. If he
has returned I hope to meet both him
and Mr.. Schurman in Washington. OF
course, Gen. Otis cannot leave the Phil
ippines and I see that Prof. Dean Wor-
cester is still in the islands.
However, there may be three of US, and
as we are in accord. there should be little
difficulty in making our formal report.
l hope We will get to work at once and
keep at 1t until our task is finished. Any
how, Schurman and myself put our
heads together
I mentioned to the admiral what was
uppermoSt in the minds of many men
who were at Manila-what his Officers
believe-that had he been given full pow
ers as governor general, there would have
been no rebellion. The admiral raised his
eyebrows at this one who gets infor-
nation for the first time He was abso-
lutRly startled.

Victim of Pneumonia.

Newport, R. I, Sept. I.--James r. Eus-
tbs. ambassador to France during the sec
ond Cleveland administration. and former
ly a senator from Louisiana died at his
summer home in this city at o'clock
Saturday night of pneumonia. Mr.. Eustis
was taken i'll on Wednesday, but the local
physician. after an examination, thought
the trouble to be heart failure.
The patient grew worse on Thursday,
developing symptoms of pneumonia, and
on Friday there was a consultation OF
physicians, who stated that there was
scarcely any hope of recovery. The end
came very peacefully.
Mr.. Eustis' son, James B. Eustis, jr.,
and his daughter. Miss Celeste EuStiS,
were at the bedside.
Mr.. EustiS came to his summer home on
Claiming avenue was his custom early
in July, intending to remain until autumn
All the early part of the summer he was
in excellent health, deVOting many hours
to a critical review of the Dreyfus case,
in which was embodied much valuable
material gathered during his official resi-
dence in France.

AN OPTOMIsTIC CAPTAIN.
Sees the Wars End With a Vigorous
Fall Campaign

Chicago, Sept. 11-Captain ]. J. Case,
formerly of the Second Oregon Volun-
teers and a member of the stairs or
Generals Merritt Otis and Lawton, who
is visiting here, said today that he
thought a vigorous fall campaign
would put an end to the war in the
Philippines.
TT takes a good deal to demoralize
Filipino army and it would be a rash
statement to declare that the insur-
gents are now demoralized, but it is
certain that they run earlier in the bat
fIa than was formerly the case.
1T is the general opinion of the Off
GERS that if Gen. Otis were to confine
himself to one department the war
would progress more satisfactorily.
Cen. Otis makes first rate civil gov
ernor. In the field there were several
instances in which he ordered troops
back after they had accomplished their
work and thus necessitated it being
done over I think all the casualties
are faithfully reported by Gen. Otis"

DaO eel H0B ole
Discussed Below.

The question of obtaining a high
grade food at a moderate price. is of
interest to every housekeeper and pro-
wider.
Some food is so bulky that even at
very low price per pound, the actual
food value is so little that it is really
expensive; on the other hand, there are
concentrated foods. like, for instance
the famous breakfast food known as
Grape Nuts that sell at Is cents per
pound, but yield in food units so much
value that but little of the food should
be used at a time, and in reality. when
properly used, the expense is about one
gent per meal
It is a common mistake to use too
much of the food Grape Nuts. Its taste
IS crisp, with the delicate sweet flavor
of grape sugar, and one is inclined to
eat double the proper quantity. A lady
writes from Indianapolis, Mrs. A L
Wilson: I'VE have been using your
Grape-NutS now for two or three
weeks. / cannot tell you how much I
find it has benefited me. Ny husband
IS a physician and he not only uses it
at each meal, but likes it at bedtime"
Using the food in this way, some
families might be impressed with the
cost, but after all, good food, which
keeps the family in prime condition Of
health, at a moderate cost, is very much
more profitable. so far as dollars and
SAINTS, are concerned, than to make use
~ low-grade, bulky foods and from
time to time call in a physician to help
out
The use of "Grape-Nuts'' in reason
able quantity costs one cent per meal
and the food stands without an equal
in point of nutrition and value in building
up the nerve centers and tissues of the
body. The crisp, delicate, sweet taste
comes from the grape sugar which is
produced by Transformation of the
starch of the cereals, and this grape
sugar is presented to the system, ready
for Immediate assimilation. Grape
Nuts are sold by all frst-class grOcers
and made by the Postum Co. at their
factories in Battle Greek, Michigan.

Low is MAN.
Norton Correspondent Says Heshould
Succeed Leland.

A letter from a correspondent of the
State Journal at Norton follows:
Norton, Sept. 1.-THE mention in
the State Journal a few days ago of the
name of Hon. NJ. A. Low for member
of the Republican national committee
from Kansas to succeed Cyrus Leland
met with a most hearty response from
the hearts of the Republicans in this
section of Kansas. He is recognized as
possessing fine executive ability and
legal attachments. His position so ably
filled as general solicitor of the great
Rock Island system will secure him
recognition on the national committee
and through him in said position Kan
sas will be recognized as her position
in the galaxy of state deserves. Many
of the most influential Republicans of
the Sixth congressional district have
already signified their intention of
booming Mr.. Lowe for the position
should he intimate that he would like
to be made a member of the Republi-
can national committee"

Isaac C. Reed, the Sumner county
lawyer who was sent to the state peni-
