What .. 9. .. Does
for Children

Children are constantly exposed to all sorts of dis
eases. The air they breathe Is filled with germs, sewer
gas and dust from the filthy streets are inhaled into the
lungs and taken into the blood. At the crowded school
rooms and other public places they come In contact
almost daily with others recovering from or In the first
stages of contagious diseases. You can't quarantine
against the balance of the world, and the best you can
do is to keep their blood in good condition, and thus
prevent or at least mitigate the disease. You have
perhaps learned from observation or experience that
healthy, robust children (and this means, OF course,
children whose blood is pure) are not nearly so liable to
contract diseases peculiar to them, and when they do it
is generally in a mild form. On the other hand, weak,
emaciated and sickly ones seem to catch every disease
tina. comes along. This is because their blood is lack
ing in all the elements necessary to sustain and build
up the body. Poisons of every description accumulate
in the system, because the polluted and sluggish blood
is unable to perform its proper functions.
Such children need a blood purifier and tonic to give
strength and vitality to their blood, and S. S. S., being a
purely vegetable remedy, makes it the safest and best for
the delicate constitutions of children. S. S. S. is not only
a perfect blood medicine, but is prominently the tonic
for children; it increases their appetites and strengthens
the digestion and assimilation Of food. If your child
rem have any hereditary or acquired faint in their blood,
give them S. S. S. and write to our physicians for any
information or advice wanted this will cost you moth
ing, and will start the little weaklings on the road to
recovery. Book on Blood and Skin Diseases free.

RECONCENTRADO POLICY
Has Been Established by Americans
on Martinique Island.

Romblon Island, March 17-(By mail
from Bcac Island of Martinique, March
19)-The question of attaching this ISL
and Of Martinique to the province of
Tayabas, discussed by the American
Philippine commission since their ar
ztive The sentiment of the people was
wholly in favor of forming separate
province. A population of 10000 was rep
resented during the discussions and the
commission has met intelligent delega-
tons from all the towns on the island.
There are 300 insurgents still in the
mountains Of Martinique, but otherwise
the inha bitants are anxious for the pac-
ifcation Of the island and to accept
American sovereignty.
Judge Taft has announced Capt Banl-
hoItz to be chairman of the various com
mittees of natives formed to organize
municipal law in the towns of Marindu-
que. Judge Taft has promised that The
commission will return and organize the
province of Martinique.
Major Smith, commanding the garri-
sons on this island has issued an order
requiring all natives to live in the FIVE
principal towns where American troops
are stationed. Those natives who cOr-
-ilue to live in the country will be con-
sidered insurgents.
A few insurgents have recently been
killed or wounded near these towns and
their supplies have been destroyed.
The Inhabitants Of this island favor a
drastic policy toward the insurgents
The American Philippine commission
will soon prepare a recommendation to
and form of the general civil govern
ment to be esta blished in the archipeit-
go. The matter has as yet received only
informal consideration
