Druggist's Bad Advice.

A story is told of a man who went
to see a doctor. says the New York
Tribune. The doctor examined him
carefully, and, with a grave face, told
him that he was very i'll, and asked
II he had consulted any one else. "Oh,"
said the man, II went to see a drug
gist and asked his advice. and he
DRUGGIST the doctor broke in ang-
rily. What was the good of that?
The best thing you can do when a
druggist gives you bit of advice is
to do exactly the opposite" And he"
the patient continued, advised me to
come to YOU"

The population of Guam was re-
Gently increased by seven, and the
seven are no doubt very sorry OF it.
They were passengers on the transport
Sheridan. bound for Manila. At Guam
they were so anxious TO see what the
little island was like that they went
ashore, despite the warning of the cap
tan that they might get left; and that
is just what happened. 1t is said the
members of he party, which included
two women, an army chaplain, an army
officer and teacher, took neither
purse nor scrip with them. so that they
are practically marooned upon a
strange island and thrown upon their
own resourees-all because they could
not restrain their curiosity.

Thorough Dramatic Criticism.

Two young men sat through the srst

If II is true that WI Ting Fang is to
be recalled by the Chinese government.
the country, and Washington society
especially, will regret It Minister WI
has proved himself a very entertain
ing and companionable gentleman, and
a man of broad and liberal ideas. No
Chinaman and very few foreign dip
lomats ever became so well liked by
the American public as he. For the
past year or more he has been in con-
slant demand for addresses. and when
he found it possible TO accept an invi-
tation he never disappointed his audi
ence. Washington society will be par
ticularly sorry of the recall because of
the fact that Madame WI has just re-
turned from China with several oriental
beauties in her train who were ex-
pected to add to the gayety of the
capital this winter. One of them, Miss
WI Shou Ching. who is directly related
to the Minister, is described as one
of the daintiest bits of China that ever
landed in this country, and it is said
that she brought with her twenty
trunks filed with the richest en-
broideries ever fashioned for the ward
robe of a daughter of the East. Should
the Minister be recalled, of course, the
little Miss WI will have to go back
home with him, without having an OPP
portunity for showing her marvellous
clothes to Washington society.

Should the report of Miss Stones
death prove true. somebody. or rather
some government, will have to make
an explanation to Uncle Sam respecting
the tragedy. Turkey has already tried,
in an unofficial way, to show that she
is not responsible, and it may be that
Bulgaria will try the same sort OF
thing. But evidently somebody is re-
sponsible, and it may be depended upon
that the people at Washington will
find out who it is.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Baltimore Sun (Dem.) says:
Admiral Dewey thinks that the court
of inquiry is on trial by the American
people. Possibly the admiral is cor
rect in this conclusion. The Aneri-
can people have followed this investi-
cation with extraordinary interest.
They have before them all the facts
upon which the court of inquiry will
base its verdict. They have given Ad-
miral Schley triumphant vindication
after considering all the evidence that
his detractors could produce against
him. They will now await the verdict
of the court of which Admiral Dewey
is president"

In these little people nothing but harm
can come from the use of such cerebral
stimuIants as tea or coffee. Bad. then,
as this practice is. let us as physicians be
aggressive in its prohibition.
DO not be satisfied by answering NO,
when asked as to its use, but let us teach
the families with whom we come in con-
tact that such practice is evil. We speak
poor and uneducated. but among the rich.
who should know better, this practice is
maTVelOusly prevalent.
children like a warm beverage for

it if the drink is a food and not drug.
Postum Food Coffee is made to supply
a rich nourishing liquid food with a crisp
coffee taste, for those who cannot and

tee to Make "a Choice.

Secretary Root yesterday appointed
special board of engineer officers to con-
slider questions affecting the selection of

Beach. and Capt. David Du B. Gaillard
with First Lieut.. George NJ. Hoffman as
recorder. The board is ordered TO meet

after as practicable.
The board is required to select a place
for the necessary fltering beds and to
consider the matter of general availa-
bility and cost when arriving at a deci-
sion as to which of the sites offered shall
be accepted The board is instructed that
the site must have a high elevation for
a certain degree of gravity so as to do
away with the need for pumping plants
Among the sites offered is one near the
head of North Capitol Street, and anoth-
er near the head of Seventh Street. These
will be inspected by the board which
will make a report directly to General
Wilson, who, in turn. will submit the
recommendations to the Secretary of
War.
1t is not expected that the board will
report for at least month, when the
recommendations viii be acted on and the
site selected. After this the work will be
begun without delay.
