AN athlete may have good wind, big
4 y lungs, long stride, great strength
and fine endurance, but expose him to
a draught Of air and he stHfens with
rheumatism; he is worthless. So the
tea you buy may be the best grown,
but expose it to the air and its virtue
is gone, That is why tea-experts place
such high value on the "original pack
age" teas of Chase & Sanborn. Native
flavor is imprisoned in an alright lead
form. 1t is China brought into your

The people of India, subjects of Nc.
Kinley's great and good friend. Queen
Victoria, are actually starving in the
midst of plenty because the powers
that be have gotten such complete
control OF the necessities of life that
they are holding the grain supply,
which is plentiful enough. until thev
can dispose of it advantageously.
Meanwhile millions are starving.
DR.. Louis Klopsch. who went to India
to prepare the way for the arrival of
the British steamphip Quito. char
tered by the United States govern
ment to carry 200. 900 bushels Of grain
TO Bombay, has returned on the Ham
burg-American steamship Pennsylva-
MIA. DIR. Klopsch left India June 3.
Hunger and disease are doing
dreadful execution among the poor"
said DIR. Klopsch. The Quito ar
rived with her cargo in splendid con-
dition. The grain is sold for 75 cents
bushel to those famine sufferers
who have money. 1t cost US so cents
a bushel, and thus our original in
vestment of $100.0O0 brought us
$500. coo. which is to be used for buy
ing grain for those that have abso-
lutely no means"
DR.. Klopsch said there is plenty of
grain in India, but it is sold at high
prices. and held by those who control
the market. He said famine sufferers
increase At the rate of IS. 5.00O q day.
As soon as the rainy season sets in,

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 bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce. and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, reg
ulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a
few doses of Green's August Flower,
in liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter

many were inclined to await further news
before condemning him. Crowds focked
to the war Office for further news Of the
reverses.
Military men find clue as to the cause
of Warren's reverse in Buffers dispatch
of Wednesday night. He said then that
Warren was holding the kop under
most annoying shell fire and that his
losses were severe. This, taken in con-
nection with Warren's easy occupation
of the place, leads to the belief that the
Beers led the English into death trap.
Artillery was probably placed on the slr-
rounding kopjes with which the Beers
poured a constant and CALLING fire into
Warren's garrison on the kop all day
Wednesday, making it so hot for the
English that they had to retire under
cover of darkness. High military Off
Gals refused to discuss the reverse until
full details were learned, but they ad-
mitted that it might again halt the Natal
campaign.
The situation in the neighborhood of
the armies other than around Ladysmith
is unchanged, but a forward movement
by Gen. French is daily expected. The
heat is reported as terrific, the thermome-

Kruger said that he had learned with re-

that many others remained in their camps

feated their enemy" These statements
