QUESTION ANSWERED

Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the civilized world. Your mothers and grandmothers never thought of using anything else for Indigestion or Billiousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom heard of Appen- dicitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart Failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermentation ol undigested food, regulate the ac- ton of the liver, stimulate the ner-- vous and organic action of the sys tenn, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with head ache and other aches. You only need few doses of Greens August Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is nothing serious the matter with you. For sale by all druggists.

"Spider Time" in Manila.

Spider time has arrived, and the Filipino boy is happy. He does not know much about mar bles, but when spider time arrives, and that is just after the rainy sea- son begins, he knows that he is to have great sport. There are two harmless varieties of spiders that are green and yellow in color that mat,ire ill June. They are as large as the common black spider so plentiful in California. The Filipino boy catches these ana keeps them secure i'll a box. A small rod the size and length ot a knitting needle is procured. A spider is then placed on the rod. Another boy comes along and he bets cent that his spider will whip. Then the sport begins' The boy who is challenged pro duces his spider, places him on the rod with the challenger's' Both spiders make a rush tor eacn other and fierce battle ensues. Sometimes the stronger of the two will wind web around the other fastening him to the rod and com pletely putting him out of bust ness The spiders sometimes fight for ten minutes. Nearly ev- cry boy has from eight to twenty spiders and they bet all the fiiip- ino pennies they can get on the result of the fight. San Jose Mer- cury.

Change in News Values.

~>>@OA V tAA~ v fe>AN-r'@~ 'ss>A S-N> H>N pie of this country were regaled with salacious sensations on the order of the Cherry dinner and the dancing of Little Egypt. :" A divorce in high life, fire or failure, lynching or an elopement or the report of yacht race were featured and displayed under fam ing headlines. When these items did not exists dextrous writers on the yellow journals manufactured reports and gave Us handmade stories.
 When the first gun was fired from the Nashville across the bow of a Spanish lumber ship news val ues underwent a sudden and a radical change. Cherry dinners and divorce suits were tucked away ill the corners of the newspapers and the front pages and the big
 head letters were given up-to war news. The Mole St. Nicholas liar was ill his glory. He had the ear of the nation. The heavy firing heard' ill this or that direction
 meant to the reader battles be- tween sea monsters wherein the the leviathans of the deep strove ill deadly conflict with each other. Later on facts came from Matan- gas, where Sampson with several battleships of the line succeeded ill killing a mule. Schley captur- ed Cervera, San Juan Hill fight was won, Ponce was entered and Spanish dominion was destroyed. Dewey stood full ill the sight of the world, and tiring of deeds of valor, people turned to hero wor- ship and extolled Jo Johnson, Bag ley and Hobson or worked them selves into a fury over the Alger beef scandals. Politics came next and occupied public attention for a time. The war i'll China came next and so many great items were on parade, so many stars on the stage that people became stirfeited, lost all sense of proportion and knew not at what to mar vel. Everything palled on the taste. Everything was flat, stale and improbable. The head lines were glanced at and the sto- ries passed over, and not even a presidential campaign could"spur the jaded faculties into action.
 Last comes the disaster on the Gulf coast, and all eyes scan the newspapers with scrutiny. War and politics and scandals are for the time forgotten and human sympathy unites in deploring the fearful loss of life in the doomed coast cities. Verify the changes in news values have been as nu- merous as the changes ill the ec- centric cotton market. And the next may be something else. Commercial Appeal.

It does not add to the dignity or to the popularity of a newspaper for it to be continually flattering and "slinging taffy" at prominent people in town. Not only that, but it causes those who understand the motives which usually prompt such practices to view the paper with extreme disgust.
