The Cholera mt Manila.

MANILA, March 25.-The outbreak
of cholera here does not create alarm.
No white persons have been stricken
with the disease. According to the re-
port of the medical authorities there
have been, all told, twenty-siy cases
and twenty-one deaths. Experts have
gone to investigate the five cases at
MalolOs, just north of Manila, and the
two cases at Aparri, in northern Luzon.
The moving of trains on the railroad
between here and Dagupan has been
prohibited, and no boat will be allowed
to leave Manila for interisland ports
for the next five days. The object OF
these restrictions is to prevent a gen
eral exodus and the consequent possi-
bility of spreading the disease.

WASHINGTON, March 2G.-SCcrcta-
ry Root has made public his order to
General Wood directing him to turn
over the control of the government OF
Cuba to its people on May 20 next. The
order requires the Cuban government
to assume all treaty obligations and
directs General Wood to continue
small artillery force to avoid leaving
the island entirely defenseless until the
CNban government shall organize its
own force.
The text of the order is as follows:
you are authorized to provide for
the Inauguration on the Goth of May
next of the government elected by the
people of Cuba and upon the establish
ment Of said government To leave the
government and control of the island
of Cuba to its people, pursuant to the
provisions of the act of congress en-
titled An act making appropriation for
the army for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1902 approved March >, 1901.
Upon the transfer of government
and control to the president ana CON

a lazy liver may be only tired liver, or
a starved liver. A stick is all right for the
back of lazy man. Bu: it would be a
savage as well as a stupid thing to beat 4
weary man or a starving man because he
Jagged in his work. So in treating the lag
ging liver it is great mistake to lash it with
drastic drugs. In ninety.nine cases out Of a
hundred torpid or sluggish liver is but a
symptom of an ill.nourished body, whose
organs are weary with overwork. Let your
liver alone Start with the stomach and its
allied organs of digestion and nutrition. Iut
them in proper working order, and see how
quickly your liver will become active and
energetic. DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery has made many marvellous cures
of :" liver trouble" by its wonderful control
of the organs of digestion and nutrition. 1t
restores the normal activity of the stomach,
increases the secretions of the blood making
glands, cleanses the system from poisonous
accumulations, and so relieves the liver of
the burdens imposed upon it by the defec.
ticn of other organs.

NOT so ABSENT-MINDED.
British soldiers Tn south Africn
saved s5,Ooo,Ooo for the Folks
nt Home.

The post Office is throwing some
British soldier which will he read
with interest. 1t appears that Tommy
is not such an abscnt-minded beg
gar as he is made out TO be. Tommy
himself has always resented the SOU
briquet, and the fact that he has
sent million of money home from
the Cape in postal orders during the
past year is n colossal testimony to
his thrift and thoughtfulness of
home needs, says the London EX-
press.
This useful public service has a
section with every column for tel
egraphic and postal work. and not
only do they get letters safely
through Bocr-ridden territory, but
they manage TO preserve government
stock from capture with great skill
and foresight. OF course some postal
dispatches have fallen into the en-
emY's hands, but the check upon be-
lated mail bags is so keen that the
misuse Of postal orders is rare.
Mail running from columns off
the railway is a dangerous game, and
the army post Office man requires
not only to be an efficient postal
servant, but strategist. in so much
as to know when not to send, Sew
cral deaths have occurred in the de-
fense of the mail bags, so that he
has to be a combatant at times.

MarisD, L., Given This Dtstinctiel
By the United states Marine
Hospital Service.

The most healthful place in the
United States to live is Marion, Ia,
according to reports received by the
marine hospital service from |, 100 cit
les and towns having population OF
1000 or over. There may have been
a more healthful place than Marion,
but if so no official returns were re-
ceived from it. Marion has a popula-
tion of 4,102, and there were only six
deaths in 1900, making death rate of
the phenominally low figure of Lac per
1000
The average of the death rate in all
the cities and towns was 17.47.
1t appears from the compilation of
the marine hospital service that the
state having the best record for health
last year was North Dakota. with a
death rate of only COS per 900 Of pop
ulation. BY far the most healthfui Of
the populous states, however. was
Iowa, the death rate being l1.l7.
Ohio, which made reports from
towns aggregating population Of
more than 1900, 900 shows a death ra te
Of only II 81.
The notable reports of healthfulness
come from the northwest and central
western states, Minnesota. the Da-
kotas. Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa. Idaho
and Montana all have exceedingly low
death rates. On the other hand. the
states which are widely known as
health resorts. such as Arizona. Colo
RADIO and California, have compare
lively high mortality, probably because
many persons suffering from incur.
able pulmonary troubles go there and
die.
California last year had an average
death rate Of 1853; Colorado. 25 90. and
Arizona, 32.2s. The last named state
had the highest rate of mortality OF
any state or territory in the union
New York states mortality was 1898
The town in the United States hav-
ing the highest rate of mortality last
year was Carlyle, III. The population
was 1874. and the number Of deaths
