ROck=a=Bye Baby

These are sweet words, but how much
pain and suffering they used to mean. It's
different now. Since Mothers Friend has
become known expectant mothers have
been spared much of the anguish of child
birth. Mothers friend is llnlment to be
applied externally. It is rubbed thoroughly
Into the muscles Of the abdomen. It gives
elasticity and strength, and when the final
great strain comes they respond quickly and
easily without pain. Mothers Friend is
never taken internally. Internal remedies
at this time do more harm than good. II a

Peculiar Case at Calumet.

Physicians and laymen are deeply
puzzled by the peculiar case of Harriet
Clark, a i3-year-old girl, living in Cal
unet. on the evening of the 4th she
retired in apparently perfect health.
An hour later strange rappings and
knockings begun in her room. The
girl became badly frightened and called
for assistance. Those who touched her
received smart electrical shocks, and
the rappings increased in violence. Dr.
A. G. Mcleod, prominent physician,
was summoned but was unable to give
relief to the girl or stop the violent
rappings which constantly continued
from all parts of the room. The girl
continued in the same condition, and
the rappings, which are now intermit-
tent, can be heard fully 100 feet away

mentation bill seemingly provides. In

this officer, will have 81 battleships,
VARYING from IL 900 to $4,000 tons, and

Mai. Gen. +. :. Otis will be detached
from duty as encouragement of the

partment of the Pacific Immediately
after the arrival of the new Philippine
commission, and will be ordered to re-
turn to the United States. This action |
will be in compliance with the wishes
of Gen. Otis, who has informed the |
war department that he is in need OF
a respite. The President believes Gen.
Otis can be relieved after the arrival OF
the commission at Manila-which Will
occur late in April or early in May
without dctriment to the interests of
the government He will be succeeded
by the senior officer in the islands,
probably Ma. -Gen. Arthur Macarthur,
who will be subordinate to the new
commission, which will possess plenary
powers and will be responsible to the
war department. After the suppress
sion of organized resistance on the part
of the natives the archipelago will be
divided into four grand military de-
partments. Judge Taft, as chairman

Mia, the supreme head of the archi-
pelago, and will be to all intents and
purposes the governor, although he
will not have the title. Civil affairs of
each military department will be ad-
ministered by commission who will
be in everything but name governor of
the territory comprised in their dis
trict.
OF late the insurgents in Albay
province of Luzon, have adopted har-
RAISING tactics against the towns
which the Americans have garrisoned.
They camp in the hills and maintain a
constant fire upon the American out
posts. When the troops sally against
them, they scatter, returning when the
Americans retire. They shoot burn
inc arrows, and have thus burned a
large part of the town of Albay. In
deed. most of the larger towns in that
province are practically deserted, ex-
cept by the garrisons. Scarcely any OF
the inhabitants return TO their

Sugar Beet Raising in Michigan.

Prof. Clinton ID. Smith, director of
the Michigan experiment station, is
ont with a statement that is of much
interestto the thousands of sugar beet
growers of Michigan, his desire being
to correct misapprehension existing
in the minds of a great many farmers
who reside in the vicinity of beet sugar
factories. Mr. Smith calls attention to
the fact that the experiment station
has undertaken great many expert
ments in the growing of sugar beets.
During the past 10 years it has scat
tered beet seed over the state, and to
ascertain the quality of the beets pro-
duced 10 has tested the beets sent in by
the growers. These results warrant
the statement that good beets can be
grown in most parts of the states.
In many instances the growers have
BECOME dissatisfied with the test re-
suits given them 10y the factories, and
have sent their beets to the college.
The results of the college analyses
have been used as basis for an at
tack on the good faith of the factory,
the grower evidently forgetting that
the beets sent to the college are in
variable selected, and do not come any
where near representing the crop as 1t
runs; and also losing sight of the fact
that the beets sent to the college are
almost invariably dried out and some
what withered, and that, therefore
the statement of the chemist regard
them, while absolutely true, is grossly
misleading to the person who does MOI
take these facts into consideration.
