AT MANILA yesterday 9. @. Fletcher,
an employee Of the depot quartermas'
ter, was sentenced to five years I'M
prisonment for selling government
bacon and coffee and the trial OF Com
mIsssry Sergeant Henry Wilson, on
the charge of stealing supplies, was be-
gun. These frauds reflect no credit on
American rule in the Philippines and
their continuance will only tend to In
crease the distrust held by the natives
of those islands for the invaders. They
naturally think thst II the Americans
cheat their own government they Will
most assuredly rob them.

The constant rattle of dishes on the hard tables and the believing of the walters as they announced their orders to the cooks at the end of the room made him nervous. When the busy waiter deposited his order before him the young man began fusillade of reproaeh on the substantial but hamely 9iands.

BATHING IN ELECTRO LIGHT,
Painful Ailments Quickly Banished by
 the Heat Rays.


 It has been found that there are many painful ailments which, when acted Hpon by electric heat and light avs, are completely banished from the sufferers body, says Pearson's Maga- zine. Strong electric light D1 thrown onto the seat of suffering: the patient basks in bath of light and heat, ex- periencing nothing but pleasant sensa tions, and, in most cases, an immediate and comforting sense of relief from pain. Men and women who for years have lost control of their limbs and who have unavailingIy tried every known cure, have arisen after course of electric-heat baths and walked with enables patients to bathe in electric light is extremely simple. To an ad- lusta ble stand are fitted two large cop. per or nickel-plated refectors, which can be moved in any direction l. patient is lying in bed refectors are placed on either side, adjusted to the exact position for locating the rays where desired. On the refecting sur. faces are the electric lamps which ra- 6iate the luminous heat rays. The hea. may be regulated by varying the dis .ance of the refectors, or the number of lamps, or by means of special regulator which controls the electric current. Those parts of the body, such sS the armpits or shoulders, which it would be impossible to treat locally with other arrangements, are easily dealt with by the new system. When the patient is in the right position and is comfortably settled Che may be fully clothed, or covered with blankets without affecting the power of tho rays) the current is turned on and heat and light of considerable intensity are immediately produced. In a few moments the thermometer will register 800 degrees Fahrenheit. I have seen patients chatting cheerfully and ex- periencing no inconvenience, while an affected limb has been exposed to hea. rays at a temperature Of 400 degrees Fahrenheit IL might be supposed that such a heat as this would roast limb. Undoubtedly there would be evil re, suits were it not for the important fac, l that dry heat Is employed, which l evaporates precipitation as soon az t 1 appears on the body. !,
