CHEAP SILVER FOR FILL
PINOS.

Washington, Dec The Cabinet
meeting today was largely devoted 20 q
discussion Of the question of coinage
for the Philippine Islands, aud as a
result it is probable that the Secretary
of War will request hearing 90 the
subject tefore one of the com mis;ees OF
Congress. Nearly all the business of
the islands is transacted 10 Mexican dol
lsrs and army commissarles and others
supplied with Uoited money are at
times greatly embarrassed 10 making
purchases from the Fllipipos by the
fact that knowing uothiog Of cur mooey
OF its value, the latter often refused to
accept *. The proposition wbioh seems
to have, met with favor BY the Admin
istrasion is to purchase silver bullion s'
the present market price and coin 1t
into distinctive dollars having gold
value of about fifty cents each. These
dollars prob.b!y will ooutain little less
silver than than the present standard
dollars It's hoped that BY the early
action Of Congress the new coins may
be put irto circulation before grea'
while.
TIE Cabinet also discussed the House
bill revising the war revenue Act. AL
of them tbiok tha. the cut is too deep
and agreeing tina, it would oe wise te
make the cut greater than $50. .0oo,'
600.

THE RIESr BABY.
IT'S Coming is Looked Forward to
With Both Joy and Fear and its
Safe Arrival is Hailed With
Pride and Delight by All.

The arrival of the first baby in the
household is the happiest and most I'M
portant event of married Life. The young
wife who is to become mother dellghts
to think of the happiness in store for her
when the little one shall nestle upon her
breast and latterly she shall hear it lisp
the sweet and holy name, mother
But her happy anticipation quickly van
ishes when She realizes the terrible pain
and suffering through which she must
pass while bringing the little one into
the world. An indescribable fear OF the
danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipates her joyfulness.
Thousands of women have learned
bv experience that there is absolutely
no necessity for the suferings which at
tend childbirth; they know that by
the use of Mothers Friend"-a scien-
tific lniment-for q few weeks before
the trying hour, expectant mothers can
so prepare themselves for the nnal
hour that the pain and suffering OF the
dreaded event ere entirely obvlated ana
il is safely passed through with COM
paratively little discomfort.
All women are interested, and es-
pecially expectant mothers who for the
first time have to undergo this trial, IN
such remedy; for they know the pain
and suffering, to say nothing OF the dan
DER. which is in store for them. Moth
er's Friend" is woman's greatest bles-
sing, for it takes her safely through the
seyerest ordeal of her life. Every woman
should be glad to read the little book
Before Baby is Born," which contains
information of great value to all. II
