FOR MALARIA,

The Best Prescription Is Groves
TaSteleSs Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle,
So That the People May Know Just
What They Are Taking.

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste-
less" chill tones are limitations. An analysis
of other chill TONES shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Grove's-its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Grove'sis the only Chill Cure sold

MUST EXEMPT AMERICANS.
Their Enforced Passage rs Stecrnre
Passengers Does NOt Make
Them Immigrants.

Berlin, Sept. Sowing to the I'M
usually heavy westward passenger
traffic as well as to the interruption
in sailings owing to the Hoboken dis
aster and to the chartering of pas
senger steamers by the German gov
eminent for use in Chinese waters,
many American citizens have recently
been compelled to take steerage pas
sage in returning to the United
States.
The physicians of the North Ger
man Lloyd Steamship Co. have insist
ed upon vaccinating all these, to meet
the requirements of the United States
laws. Recently, an American filed
strong objections with Mr.. Henry W..
Diederich, United States consul at
Bremen, who wrote to Washington
for instructions, meanwhile forbid
ding the physicians in question to vac
cinate Americans in the steerage, on
the ground that the law was intended
to apply to immigrants only.

AMERICANS MUST VACATE,
Germans Demand Space Occupied by

Encampments.

Tien Tsin, Aug 20, via Taku, Aug
3O.-The Germans have formally de-
manded for themselves all the build
ings and grounds of the camp of the
United States troops, explaining that
these will be needed by the large Ger
man forces soon to arrive. As the
American camp lies in the German
concession, the demand will probably
be complied with; and a new camp
for the United States troops will be
established outside the city.
Orders received from Washington
direct that the 5000 American troops
be divided between Pekin, Tien Tsin
and Taku for the winter.
Abundant supplies are now arriy-
ing and all that is necessary are be-
rapidly forwarded to Pellin.
