/ want to give you some stories of army
life in the Philippines The country is full
of them. Every soldier has his adventures
and there are thousands of unknown he
roes whose deeds deserve credit In other
wars the acts of bravery are connected
with great engagements, when, under the
enthusiasm melted by battle. men march
to the lannon's mouth In the Philippines
no man knows when his .1fe is safe. Day
and night, week in and week out, the year
through, the soldiers who are in the field
are subject to ambush. There is not q

all this our men laugh and joke. They have
their sports. play ball and toss one an
other in blankets. going bravely on with
their lives in their hands The tension is
too great for some and they grow insane,
as you will see from the many such cases

A Little War of His Own.

r
The Filipinos do not know what to make
of our soldiers. Their method of warfare
has been TO fight and run but the Ameri-
can soldier goes right on. Some of our
men are ready to attack a whole army
alone, and this is especially true of those
who are addicted to liquor. Near Caloocan
one soldier got on jag and started out
from his regiment to charge camp of in
surrectos. He left the camp whistling
Marching Through Georgia and sat down
within firing distance of the Filipino senti-
nels and shot at them until he had emptied
his cartridge belt.
In the meantime the officers of his regf-
ment could not locate the firing. Iney
were about to send out scouting party
when the man came back staggering lit
tie but whistling See the Conquering
Hero Comes" He was put in the guard
house thirty days for his temerity.
| 1t was at this same place, Caloocan, that
the new regiments were frequently sta
toned upon their arrival at Manila. One
night the soldiers reported that the enemy
were making a march upon them, and that
they had line of lights hundreds of
feet long. The officers ordered the men
into the trenches ready to attack the ad-
vancing army. No enemy came, however,
and the next day it was found that the
lights were those of some innocent Filipi-
nos who were out catching the frogs and
shell fish brought forth by the recent
rains.
Filipino Atrocities.
l now and then see statements of the
cruelties perpetrated by our troops on the
innocent Filipinos. Some such statements
may be true. but the majority are false,
and under the provocatons which the men
have suffered it is a wonder they are at all
temperate. No one can appreciate the suf-
ferings of our soldiers. Men have been cut
to pieces with bolos. They have been lied
to and deceived in every possible way One
| case / remember on the Island of Panay.
/ A priest enticed three of our privates
| into the hands of the enemy. The pri-
Yates were drunk, or they would not have
| been caught. The Fiiipinos tied them
| to stakes and built a fire at their feet
After they had roasted the feet the Fill
pinos used their bolos to cut strips of flesh
| from the bodies of their victims They cut
at them again and again, avoiding the vital
! spots, and then scared the flesh with red
hot irons.
During my stay in Manila Lieut. Wynne
OF the Marine Corps captured six Cayite
cutthroats who We're numbering children by

would tie the hands of the little ones be-

AS the result of over-exertion and
exposure to heat and cold, or from
whatever cause, may be treated sue
c~essfully by the timely application of
st. Jacobs Oil. A thorough rubbing is
necessary. The Oil should be applied
vigorously, for at least twenty min
utes, two or three times daily. when all
pain, soreness, stiffness will be re-
moved in twenty-four hours. It will
also strengthen and harden the mus
cles. Football players, gymnasts, and
all athletes will find st. Jacobs Oil
superior to any other remedy for out
ward application, for the reason that
Its action is more rapid and its effect
permanent. Thousands of people all
over the world use and recommend St
Jacobs Oil for muscular eel A
twenty-five cent bottle is quite sutfi-
Gent to prove its efficacy. In cases
where muscular soreness is compli-
Gated with any disease which requires

Compound should be taken. This is

Successful Pneumatic Gun.

A successful dynamite gun has final
ly been constructed. according to re-
ports from Hilton Head, S. c., where
the tests were held.
The government specifications called
for an engine which could hurl a pro-
jectile containing 500 pounds of nitro
glycerin or other high explosive a dis
lance of 5000 yards. The Hilton Head
gun threw 500 pounds OF nitroglycerin
5000 yards.
The difficulty operating against the
successful construction of dynamite
guns hitherto has been the inability
accurately to fix in advance the place
OF conclusion. The shell was apt to go
off in the gun unless extreme care was
taken.
The new pneumatic gun is fifty feet
in length. of fifteen inches bore, and it
weighs fifty tons. The projectile is ten
feet long. Five shots of the largest
size were fired in twenty minutes.

Dear Sirs-I have had occasion to use your
Pe-ru-namedicine in my family for colds, and
it proved to be an excellent remedy. Ihave
not had occasion to use 1t for other ailments.
Yours very truly, W. NJ. LORD.
1t will be noticed that the Governor SAYS
he has not had occasion to use Pe-ru-na for
other ailments. The reason for this is, most
other ailments begin with a cold. Using
Pe-ru-na to promptly cure colds, he protects
hi family against other ailments This is ex-
actly what every other family in the United
States should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in the

there will be no other ailments In the house.

in from every State in the Union. DR..
Hartman is receiving hundreds OF letters
daily. All classes write these letters, from
the highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor artisan,
the clerk, the editor, the statesman, the
preacher-nll agree that Pe-ru-na is the
catarrh remedy OF the ago. The stage and
rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their great
est onemy, are especially enthusiastic in
their praise and testimony.
Any, man who wishes perfect health must
be entirely free from catRrrh. Catarrh is
well nigh universal; almost omnipresent.
Fortuna is the only absolute safeguard
known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh
To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat
catarrh out of its victims. Pe-ru-na not
only cures catarrh, but prevents. Every
household should be supplied with this great
remedy for coughs, colds and so forth.

SLOWLY SINKING.
Such Is the Case With Santa Gaia.
lima Island.

Professor William f. Ritter of the
University of California. has made the
discovery that Santa Catalina island,
the famous pleasure resort, is slowly
sinking into the Pacific ocean. While
dredging for marine animals on the
coast of the island he found positive
evidence in rocks and shell fish that
the island beach had once extended
three-quarters OF a mile from the pres.
ent low tide limit.
He estimates that the island is now
30 feet lower than il was formerly.
This movement is apparently going on
now, while the mainland coast opposite
Catalina is slowly rising.
