Whatever else has been accomplished
in Cuba, the health of the island has
been wonderfully improved.
In Havana the change has been mag
ical; streets have been asphalted, sew
-ers built, buildings whitewashed and
drug stores supplied with scientific, up
to-date preparations. The demand for
Paine's celery compound has grown
to enormous proportions.
The following statement from E. ].
Molina of the Havana Custom House
shows the standing Paine's has already
secured among the most progressive,
energetic people of Havana:
Havana, Cuba, Feb 4, 1901.
Wells & Richardson Co.;
Dear Sirs-I take great pleasure in
stating that ] have used your Paine's
celery compound, both while in the
United States as we'll as in this city,
and find it to be of wonderfully restor-
alive poyer, especially in this enewat-
ing climate. Very truly yours,
E. ]. MOLINA.

they have not embraced the doctrines
of the party in power. We are none
the worse citizens because we fail to
see the advantage of a trust-fostering
tariff, or any of the doctrines held by
our opponents. But the Ex-Governor
and 1 are growing too old to wrangle
over terms; we both need and must
have rest: younger men will do the
fighting.
The opinion given by Messrs. duBig-
non e. Adams as to vote buying is
likely to give a black eye to the white
primary.
From the pulpit and elsewhere comes
the statement, lit is always a mans
duty to vote" This should be subject
to limitation; I recall that in Novem-
Der, 1860, it seemed my duty to vote
for Bell and Everett electors, hoping
thus to preserve the Union and avoid
war. Since that date there has come
to me no imperative summons to in
terfere in federal politics. ] must hold
that this is a matter for each voter to
settle according to his convictions.
In the current number of The
Worlds Work" is an interesting illus
trated article upon THE Junior George
Republic" at Freeport, n. Y. A visitor
asked a girl pupil What do you have
that we do not have?' She replied
'Self-control." 1t is said that this is
the spirit of the community. 1t is a
true republic in deed as well as in
name.
An editorial in the News recently
referred to an address by the bishop of
oregon, in which a comparison was
made between ritualism and the
"tithe of mint and anise and coming
of the scribes and pharisees, hypo-
critics." the inference being that adj
vanced ritual was likely to prove a
hindrance to the work of missions.
The observer who has not already
formed an opinion will, I am certain.
come to a different conclusion as he
reads of the work of Bishop Whipple
among the Indians; also of the high
ritual churches in our large cities;
everywhere these have supplied a need
for thousands who seek in the church
opportunity of public devotion, rather
than to listen to sermons. The Church
is broad enough to contain within it's
folds men who widely differ in this
matter, but who yet hold in common
all that is requisite for salvation in
matters doctrinal. Much of the good
work formerly done from the pulpit is
now effectually carried on by the daily
newspaper; there is enough to occupy
both, and more.
A recent address by Cardinal
Vaughn upon the obnoxious Corona
ton Oath" attracts much attention.
there should be substantial agreement
by all lovers of fair play and of good
form that the Objectionable clause
which reflects upon Roman Catholics
should be consigned to oblivion, dis
carded and forgotten. But British Con-
servatism is not easily overcome and
the friction is likely to remain despite
general protest. Such legislation would
be wise and might serve to placate the
turbulent members of Parliament who
at present find little to approve in pub
lie matters.
1t is said that the reason why frogs
jump from the bank into the water
when boys come near is so as to re-
move temptation from youth; not a
bad policy, and possibly containing
moral. William Riley Boyd.

Molina is but one of many promi-
nent Cubans who have publicly advised
the use of Paine's celery compound
basing their recommendations on the
benefit they themselves have derived
from it's use.
Not only among business men, law
yers, clergymen and physicians, but
among all classes of thoughtful, intel
ligent people. Paine's celery compound
is the one reliable remedy for building
up the system when it is run down. 1t
is the greatest nerve and brain invig-
orator the world has ever known.
If your wife, daughter or sister is
pale, languid, headachy and irritable,
persuade her to try Paine's celery
compound. If your husband, son or
brother cannot eat, sleep or work, and
drowsy. dyspeptic and respondent, in
duce him to take Paines celery COM
pound.
1t restores a worn and weak nervous
system 10 healthy vigor.
There can be no substitute for
Paine'S celery compound.

At a conference last night between
local warehousemen, buyers and bank

agreement relative to the issuing Of
