cerninr the agreement reached between

for the settlement of the F'riar lands
question in the Philippines have not yet
been received by the vatican authorities.
only a verbal agreement had been re-
ceiyed. When the news was brought to
the pope. he seemed highly delighted and
exclaimed:
1T is the best Christmas box I could
have had
1t was viewed with equal pleasure in all
vatican circles.
THE news from the Philippines has
produced a feeling OF general satisfac-
tion, said the state secretary, not
among the ecclesiastics, but among all
those who have interested themselves in
the settlement of this most serious and
ment has been reached is considered
new demonstration Of the loyal and lofty
manner in which the Washington gov
ernment deals with affairs respecting the
rights of the Catholic church. The ques-
ton as to whether the Franciscans, Do
minicans. Augustinians and RecoliectS
shall remain in the archipelago now rests
entirely with the Holy See. which. by
its laws and traditions. is compelled to
help in safeguarding the rights of the
people as well as those of the ecclesi-
astic orders.
In all quarters Governor Taft and
Archbishop Guidi are given warm con-
gratulations on their success in solving
the NEST intricate of the questions en-
trusted to their diplomacy. 1t is declared
that beth have used the utmost tact and
equanimity. The excellent impression
produced by Mr.. Taft during his sojourn
in Rome in the spring of 1902 has now
been greatly increased at the vatican,
the authorities of which expect that his
presence in Washington as secretary of
war will greatly help the settlement of
the remaining questions in the Philip

SERMON on YER TI.SING.

Text The fruit Of advertising can
not be gathered until it has hal time
to ripen. From First Verse Of First
Chapter Ct Common Sense.
True sermons are always interesting
and this one happens to be true.
You must 90 back to nature to learn
anything, even to learn adyertis-
ing.
If you plant potato today, you will
not get a potato in return tomor-
row.
You won't get Il pct t, next week
or next month.
But if you will just be patient awhile
hat original potato will -row and
grow, al some fine morning you can
dig down where it Was planted and
find a dozen potato, have taken its
place.
Advertising and nature are pretty
much alike.
The fruit cf advertising must grow
its natural time, just as the potato
must have its proper season to de-
velop.
The ice of advertising is felt only
by consta ant rep ,tition,
A card about your goods placed in
The street cars viii, not sell enough
goods the fist day to pay for tacks
used in fastt mig it up.
If yon expect to get brack at OF ce
the Cents day it costs IN ach YEAR,
you had better not try it, for the 2
cents wont come back so soon.
But if you put your card in the cars

it ripcned fruit in the shape of dol
lars.
Here is where you dig down and
Ind ,he dozen potat es where you

50 NILFUZ
WASTE

That old copybook maxim finds its
most forceful application in the waste of
vitality, which is called "burnlng the
candle at both ends" A woman is
often tempted beyond her strength by
domestic or social demands. Some day
she awakens from this waste of strength
to the woeful want of it, She has be-
come weak, nervous and miserable.
For weak, nervous, rundown women,
there is no better tonic and nervine than
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It
restores the appetite, quiets the nerves
and gives refreshing sleep. It cures
local diseases peculiarly woman]y which
undermine the general health. 1t makes
weak women strong, sick women well.
vNo doubt you have forgotten me, but after
you read my letter you will remember nue."
writes Mrs. Annie E. Moring, of 23S 9TH Avenue,
S. W., Roanoke, Va "In the year 1897, wrote
to you for advice, which you gave me free of
charge. When wrote to you was wreck; I

men could not sit down, lie down, or get any
tor here, but did not get any better until went
through course of your medicine. took eight
bottles each of 'Favorite Prescription and
Golden Medical Discovery and ten bottles OF

made cure OF me-"
Weak and sick women are invited to
consult DR.. Pierce, by letter, free. All
correspondence is held as strictly private.
