The Frlars' Lands.

! 1T is apparent that the administra-
ticn intends to use the money of the
i l.ation to buy the friars out of the
Philippine archipelago. says the Chi
cago Chronicle.
The lands thus acquired Should be
the property of the penp,e of the
United States. 1t should be made lille
gal for the government to part with
the fee. Use of the lands should be
given at a reasonable price to actual
settlers. If adequate precautions be.
not taken syndicatcs will absorb these
lands and use them for the oppression,
of the people.
Land evils are as vet little known.
In the United States. where pressure.
of population on space is not yet felt
in the agricultural regions. Absorb
ton of lands into the control of a few
persons was one of the chief causes of
the French revolution.
Tho same evil would have precpi-
tatrd revolution in the Tcutonic coun-
tries had not legislation avcrted the
catastrophe and effected more equit-
able distribution Of the soil. DiStribu-
ton o.! the soil is the chief bulwark
Of order throughout the agricultural
regions of Russia
The government of the United States
has an unprecedented opp rtunity to
l"sislnlr wisely on land. The land of
country belongs. 10y what may be
called natural moral law, to the ma
lives Of the country. Tho natives OF
tho Philippines lave the first right to
the use Of the land HOW tn he acquired
10y thr government OF the United
States.
The lnborrr who tills the soil has the
first right to live off its products. No
school of sane political economy claims
that rent should BE- paid on agricul
tural land until after the laborcr Oh it
has received just reward.
The government of the United States
should be the only landlord in the Phil
ippincs. Use of the land, not it's pro-
pricturSl,ip. should he granted to indi-
viduals, and grant of use should be
made only to actual occupcrs, who will
pay their rent directly to the govern
mcnt of the United States.
Only thus can the INDUSTRIOUS evils Of
oppressive or speculative landlOrtliSm
he kept ont of the Philippine islands
under their now political connection.
only thus can the rights OF the real
purchasers of the lands, the people of
the United States, be protected.
# Only thus can tie people Of the
United States do their full duty to the
people of the Philippines.

TOTAL ABSTAlNERS.
Thirty-firSt Annual Convention In
Minneapolis.

The thirty-1rst annual convention OF
the Minnesota Total Abstinence society
was opened last Thursday morning by
the celebration of solemn high mass
at st. Anthony's church. The sermon
was preached by Rev. Nj. J. Egan,
spiritual director of the diocesan
union.
At 2 D. III. the regular business SEES
sion of the convention began at Padua
hall. Reports of the societies were
read; also an exhaustive paper on the
temperance movement in the Catholic
church by Rev. j. J. Hand.
Ninety-seven delegates from differ
ent parts of the diocese were present.
The evening session was of the ma
ture of an entertainment. The num-
bers' Oh the program We're: Opening
address by L. NJ. Bohan; chorus, st.
anthony school girls; remarks by Fa-
ther Lee; reading, Miss Ella BoWe;
song, Mrs. kittman; address, Father
LAWYER, st. Paul; piano solo, Margar> t
Bohan; song, Mrs. Lacy; address, lrcs-
idelM Doyle; violin solo, q. Mcllrene;
reading, Molly Larllin.
The principal number on the pro-
gram was Archbishop Ire!ailu's add
dress. He said that he felt himself
on familiar ground; he had long b en-
present at kindred gatherings; OF this
movement. If the past could he taken
as an indication OF TIL. future, then
those who were present ut this thirty
first convention might hupe with rea-
son to see tic siXty-se, cd vtrs;;ry
Nhe first meeting at which he was
present was held thirty-one years ago
in Ingersoll hall, st. Paul. A sugges-
ton of sadness came with look int .
the past at the thought of some who
had fallen in the ranks, but this fact
was lightened by the knowledge that
many of the old warehouses; remained.
Among all the societies none have bat
tied more fercely or steadfastly than
that of St. Anthony. How often dur
ing those thirty-one years had the raj
lying call, "St. Anthony" been heard,
and the ever ready response, 'Here
we are" For many years, through
difficulties hard to surmount, there was
no increase in membership, but there
was no decrease, the twenty-five irwin
chile members ever remained.
The story of that thirty-one years
of, effort would be hard to tell. The
success of the movement could not be
measured by number but by its far
reaching influence among the church,
the families, the individuals. Even if
the society went out of existence today
it's influence would remain monument
to it for succeeding generations.
The members of the Total Absti-
,nence society are the best soldiers of
charity, VI fortune, of religion the
church cay ever have, he said. A few

If ever YOU have been travelling
any distance on the cars, don't
wash your face in cold water the
moment you reach a wash stand.
If you want to remove all the traces
of dust and smoke, rub your face
well with cold cream or vaseline,
and wipe off on a dry towel, says
the Washington Star The towel,
after wiping, will show you where
the dust has gone Then you may
wash your face in hot water, if you
will. There is nothing like hot wa
ter for the complexion. It-keeps it
not only clean, but clear. However,
its habitual use is not advised.

HEALTH IN THE TROPICS.

New York Sun.
One of the greatest discoveries OF
modern times is the proof that the
unhealthfulness Of many tropical
countries is not due tosome myster-
ious poison in the air attacking
strangers from northern climates
with special virulence, but to the
parasite of mosquito The air
which blows over the warmer and
most fruitful parts Of the earth isas
that of any other portion Of the
world. Our fight with malarial
diseases in half won now that we
know what causes them. 1t is. not
miasma rising from wet lowlands
and swamps, but the mosquito
which breeds in them that spreads
disease. We know today the enc
my that is to be fought and con-
quered. We know, as has been
proved both in Africa and on Long
Island, that the mosquito does not
travel far from his breeding place
and that in many regions it will
not be very difficult to exterminate
him.
ADMINISTRATION of other tropical
diseases is now proceeding on lines
suggested by the discovery of the
parasite OF malaria; yellow fever
has already yielded to these resear-
ches. 1t is reasonable to expect
The Brownsville daily herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1897-1910, 1902-09-11

that effective methods of combating
these diseases will reward the in
vestigations now being carried on
in accordance with the most recent
methods of Investigation.

An Abundance of Blood
PINE
Celery Compound
cleanses the Vital Fluid, Increases
Its Supply, Banishes the Seeds
of Localized Diseases, and
Nourishes Every Impor-
tant Organ.

The use of Paine's Celery Com
pound means an abundance of pure,
vitalizing blood, a perfect regulat-
ing of circulation, and the Danish
ment of localized diseases such as
insomnia, neuralgia, rheumatism,
eczema, salt rheum, blood diseases,
running sores, and eruptions.
If your sleep is not restful and
refreshing, if your spirits are low,
if you are morose, melancholic, and
oppressed with morbid feelings, be
assured your blood demands instant
attention.
Paine's Celery Compound is the
one great and never failing agent
for making pure, fresh blood, for
nourishing the dominant organs of
the body, for recruiting the strength
of young and old. Often, very
often, a delay of one day proves
fatal. Foul and poisoned blood
carries death at every beat Of the
heart. Mrs. c. r. Root. Mansfield,
