HOW TO EAT

Take your food slowly and merrily.
This piece OF advice should be printed
in very big, black letters on very white
cardboard and hung up in every dining
room and every restaurant where
women eat, and a copy of it should be
hung over every busy woman's desk.
Thorough mastication. says the doctor.
is of the utmost Importance, and of
course. this necessitates a proper con-
dition Of the teeth. Gastric digestion
is often weakened and much distress
caused by ngestion of too much fluid
with the food, particularly at the be-
ginning of meal Another danger
causing dyspepsia is the habit of cat
ing food in silence, or without that
mirth and good fellowship so neces-
sary to insure a favorable condition for
the normal action Of the digestive or
gans. These little details may seem
unimportant, but undoubtedly il is the
duty Of every careful physician TO in
struct his patients to regard them.

CUBA AND THE PHILIPPINES.


From the Philadelphia Press.
Mr. Bryan proposes "to establish a stable
government in the Philippine islands as we are
now establishing a stable government in Cuba"
This plausible assertion deceivcs many It
strikes some il.informcd Republicans who will
not take the trouble to learn the facts as a
persuasive plea What is Cuba? A single
island the size Of a medium.sized state, in
habited by homogeneous population, two
thirds white and Spanish, European. all, white
and black, speaking the same tongue, holding
the faith, for two centuries OF the same
nationality and under stable institutions. This
single, coherent community Of white European
blood. descent and training is not organizing
a stable government easily; but it deserves Il
trial and it is probably capable, at least, OF an
attempt at organizing such a government.
What are the Philippines2 Not one island, but
1900; not European, but Malay; not one tongue
but score. Not one people and race but
nearly eighty tribes and six races as different
any earth, ranging down to those lower
than the African Bushman. Not one faith. but
tllrec--Chrstian, Mohammetan and Pagan
with variations Of the latter from Buddhism to
fetish worship Not civilized or even semi.
civilized community, but 100000. fresh from
Malay barbarism. Of whom sixth or so, Tagals
are semi-civlized, another sixth or so, Visayas
less civilized, and fully two.thrds no more
civilized than North American Indians, sub
jects and not citizens for over century. When
Mr. Bryan resonantly says: II assert that the
Republic Of the United States can have no sub
jects,' he conveniently forgets Indians, who
have never been anything but subjects.
These facts are the commonplaces OF infor-
nation on the Philippines. Mr.. Bryan knows
them all. They render ''stable government
for all the islands organized by all the islands
impossible. Tagal tyranny over all the rest.
which Aglinaldo begun, would snit the Tagals.
but il would be gross injustice for all the rest.
Yet this is the only form Of "stable govern
ment" possible, and Mr.. Bryan's plan practical
ly proposes to our troops to set Tagal
government up over these fourscore other tribes.
all Of which, except the Tagals, are accepting
American sovereignty.
These reasons and these facts make the paral
lei between the Philippines and the Cubans the
misleading sophism Of demagogue and those
who are deceived by it his dupes II the Phil.
ippincs like Cuba, stable government
would have come long since. Because they are
not, because selfrule from within ,s impossible
the United States is there, and there its flag
will remain until training in self.rule has Gre
ated out Of many diverse and conflicting tribes
Filipino people, able and competent to de.
eide its own destiny and future.

r r, FOUR YEARS ago. you had
owned a difficult private busi-
Il. ness which was not in good con-
dition and had been looking for
a man to manage it: AMI you had
chosen a man. who by virtue Of his
own good Judgment AMI the efficient
men he placed around him not only
brought the business up from IL loss
making to profit making basis but
also very largely Increased its good
will and rating; and, this mans con-
tract expiring. you should have the
chance to engage him at the same
salary to manage your business for
fouriyears more. you would of course
jump at the chance.
You would do this ell the more
readily if the only other applicant for
the pli 'e was an inexperienced rival
of the man who had demonstrated his
worth: rival who four years ago had
predicted that your business would go
to ruin if you entrusted it's manage
ment to the other candidate. and who.
in the face of the non-f,llfilment of
these prophecies Of evil. now has the
nerve to ask you TO turn the trusted
and successful manager out and give
the place to him.
This is exactly the attitude of Nc
Kinley, Bryan and the American peo-
pie. When Mckinley was put in
charge the country was in bad shape
and Bryan gave him no help in put
ting it into better shape: but in spite
of Bryan's criticisms and opposition,
Mckinley has made a wonderful
record of success: the country has
passed from panic times into pros
pcrity times. from debt making 10
debt-paying; its flag has gained in
prestige and its boundaries have been
extended; and the people will show
their appreciation IF that kind of
management by bidding farewell to
Bryan and by engaging the services
of Mckinley for four Yeats, mC,c.
