Mr..Major, the famous cement man of
| New York, explains some very interest
ing facts about Majors Cement.
The multitudes whe use this standard
article know that it is many hundred per
cent better than other cements for which
similar claims are made, but a great
many do not know why. The simple
reason is that Mr.. Major uses the best
materials ever discovered and other
manufacturers do not use them, because
they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr.. Major tells us that
one of the elements of his cement costs
1915 pound, and another costs $3.50 a
gallon, while large share of the so, call
ed cements and liquid glue upon the
market are rothing more than sixteen
cent glue, dissolved in water or citric
acid, and, in some cases. altered slightly
in color and odOr by the addition of
cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents
and twenty-five cents bottle, and when
dealer tries to sell substitute you can
depend upon it that his only object is to
make larger profits.
The profit on Majors cement is as
much as any dealer ought to make on
any cement. And this is doubly true In
view of the fact that each dealer gets his
share of the benefit of Mr. Majors ad-
vertising, which now amounts to over
$4,000 month throughout the country
Established in 1876.
Insist on having Majors. Do not ac-
cept any off hand advice from druggist.
If you are at al handy (and you will
be likely to find that you are good deal
more so than yon imagine) you can re-
pair your rubber boots and family shoes
and any other rubber and leather arti
5les, with Majors Rubber Cement and
Majors Leather Cement.
And you will be surprised at how
many dollars year you will thus save.
If your druggist can't supply you, it
will be forwarded by mail; either kind.

An Extraordinary Island

In the bay of Plenty. New Zealand,
is one of the most extraordinary is
lands in the world. 1t is called White
island and consists mainly of sulphur
mixed with gypsum and few other
minerals. Over the island, which is
about three miles in circumference and
which rises between 800 and 900 feet
above the sea, floats continually an
immense cloud of vapor attaining an
elevation of 10000 feet. In the center
is boiling lake of acid charged water
covering so acres and surrounded with
blowholes from which steam and sui
phurous fumes are emitted with great
force and noise. With care a boat can
be navigated on the lake. The sulphur
from White island is very pure, but
little effort has yet been made to pro-
cure it Systematically

INSURGENT DEMONSTRATIONS

Casualties of One Ell undred.

Manila, Sept. "a. - The insurgent
demonstrations last week prove to have
been more extended than was at first
reported. From Cagayan and Isabella
pro- inces and the northwestern dis
trictS of LuZOn come accounts of in
surgent operations and American pre-
cautiOnary measures. At 1lOilO there
was considerable anxiety lest an upris-
ing should occur, but the insurgents
there are ceasing their activity and re-
turning in white clothing to the gar
risoned towns of the district. AS a re-
sumption of insurgentOperation is con-
sidered quite probable, the Americans
there are taking the necessary steps.
The American casualties in killed,
wounded or missing during the last
ten days approach 100. At Siniloan
the insurgents, after the engagement,
delivered ten bodies of our dead.
