SICK.
When a woman is sick she falls off in
looks. This is particularly the case
when she suffers from diseases peculiar
to her sex. Not onlyii her strength
undermined, but she loses beauty Of
face and grace of form.

Part of Our Politics.

1T must, therefore. be in a certain
sense part of our international politi-
cal system, and it accepted this position
when it accepted the Platr amendment
But it is out of the question for us to
expect that it will assume such posi-
tion toward us with regard to internA-
tional politics without the same time
sharing somewhat In the benefits of our
economic system. IL was for this rea-
son that President Mckinley urged, aud
that ] have since urged and shall con-
tinue to urge. the need of establishing
closer relations with Cuba by recip-
rocity.
we urge reciprocity because it. is for
our interests to control the Cuban mar
ket; because we are bound to place
the Cubans on a peculiar standing eco
nomically when they consent In our in
terests as well as their own to assume
peculiar status internationally. and
because it is fitting for great and gen.
erous republic TO stretch out helping
hand toward her feebler sister Just

Washington. Nov. 3.-The arrival of the aru1v

troops of the 9th Cavalry marked the end OF the

Is radical change in the policy of the admin
lsratlon, as the permanent garrison of the
islands
The work of the army in the Philippines is AZ
present exactly that of the army in the United
states The regulars there are performing gar
rison duty only, and the active policing of the
islands is performed wholly by the constabuIary
force composed of 1000 natives with a few
white inspectors. all paid and maintained out of
the funds of the island.
An element other than that of the mere
maintenance of a precautionary force in the
Philippines" said a prominent army officer to-
day, must be considered in determining the
attitude of the War Department in maintain
ing the quota of troops in the Philippines at
1000 when 10000 would do as we'll for all in
sular purposes. In the first place there has
been some delay in equipping barracks through
out the United States to cover the large body
OF men. All over the country posts are being
enlarged and rebuilt to hold the troops which
returned last summer and which in many cases
have been away from them since 1898. There
may, however, be d deeper reason for the gov
ernment's policy. Consider how advantageous
to the United States to hold at the very gate
way of China force of troops equal 10 the
Oriental armies of any other nation with the
exception of Japan or Russia. The army is paid
for, and as it must be somewhere, why not in
the Philippines where. in spite of reports to the
contrary, the health of the soldiers is excellent
they do not have TO be supplied with coal and
heavy winter clothing and are on the spot ready
to protect the interests of the United States
and guarantee the open door. But for the fact
that the United States could promptly spare
troops from the Philippines two years ago. the
legations at Picking could not have been saved.
And perhaps China would then have been par
titioned but for the presence nearby of 10000
seasoned soldiers in support of American diplo
matte representations TO the powers We want
a few more men iH the Philippines than we
actually need there fer insular defence. One of
the things we took the Philippines for to
have the means of protecting our great COM
