a salem County boy Tells How He
Fares on On New Islands.
Manilj r. +, Jan. l4SSI908.
Editor of PENIS CT pye Record.
SIR: I will II and write you a let
ter about different faces on the Philip
pine Islands. Wheh | first landedinthis
country on the 10Th Of April, 1901, I wa
sent out on the linesIto a place in the
southern part OF the |Lnzon Island. The
town where / was stationed was a fine
town Of Is, 900 inhabitants, but I did not
stay in the town yer y long as | was out
on several expedition, after General Calls
until he surrendered with $500 men on
the 25th of June, 1901, at Santa Cruze.
Then we went into DUR quarters and staid
there until July when we got orders to
come to Manila. We were glad to 90 for
we were tired of our work.
The southern part of Luzon Island is a
fine country. There are plenty Of tropic-
al fruits Of all kinds; plenty Of cattle and
the natives are engaged in all kinds of
work. There are large plantations Of to-
bacco, hemp, ~cocoanuts, oranges, mangoes
besides they raise rice in large quantities.
On July 26, 1901, we left Manila on the
transport Sacramento for the Island Of
Mindoro and arrived at our post on July
2Sth, right out on a sand field. We had
hard work getting quarters built and hard
time there as we went on some long and
tiresome expeditions which would last
from ten to thirty days. My company
was stationed on the southern end of the
island, over 100 miles from the rest Of the
regiment.
But we Don got used to the place. In
a short time we would get our mail once
a month as the boat only came once a
month from Manila. We stayed there
eighteen months without changing post.
Most of the natives Of Mindoro Island are
a wild race called Masias.
We were glad when the transport In
gals came in on the 10th of last month
and took us away. We are stationed at
| Manila now, not far from the walled City.
We are having an easy time, as there are
four companies stationed at these bar
ricks. We are out in town every day and
I find it a very busy people. There are
factories of all kinds and all kinds of peo-
| pie here in Manila. Our hardest part of
soldering in the Philippine Islands is ov-
er as there is an order out for this regi-
ment to return to the United States next
April. Most of us boys have only got one
more year to serve. Well, this will be
all this time hoping that this may inter-
est you readers / will close for this time.
From yours truly,
ELMER s.. SHULTz,
Co. G, 30th Reg. U. S. INIT,
Manila, P. I.

Weak
Heart From Attach
of LaGrippe.
Palpitation, Smother
ing. Short Breath.
DIR. Miles Heart Cure
Cured Me.

The terrible after effects of LaGrippe are
most dangerous when they attack the heart,
the engine of life. Weak hearts are as com
mon as weak stomachs and when an attack is
made upon the weak heart, that organ soon
becomes a diseased heart and the patient will
unless promptly treated, suffer long and
eventually die of heart disease, the dread of
millions. Dr.. Miles Heart Cure strengthens
and regulates the hearts action, enriches the
blood and improves the circulation,
"Some years ago I had an attack of the
grip, and it left me with a very weak heart.
Palpitation, shortness of breath and smother
ing spells that made me sit up IN bed to
breathe, robbing me of sleep, made me most
miserable. / would become fatigued and
exhausted from the least exertion and was
in such a critical condition that / could not
attend to my business. My physician seemed
unable to control my case, and instead of
getting better l was gradually growing
weaker every day. Then began taking DR..
Miles Heart Cure and after had used two
bottles / was greatly improved. / continued
with the remedy until l had taken in all six
bottles, when | was able to attend to bust
ness without inconvenience i was com
pletely and permanently cured of heart
trouble by DIR. Miles Heart Cure and cheer
fully recommend it to all sufferers from that
terrible affliction.n-H. II. EHLE, Glovers-

Bishops should Be Heard More.

lsnOp 6nOulQ be h6orO moro.
The Paulsboro Press last week said:
while there are only II Bishops to pre-
side over 1900 churches and but 80 out
of l42 churches in Philadelphia have
been fortunate enough to have Bishop
Foss preach to them during bis fourteen
years residence in that city, Paulsboro
Methodists succeeded in making a date
with him for the exercises celebrating
the 10th Anniversary Of their new church
building, on Tuesday evening, the 10TH"
fortunate enough to have q Bishop
should not be said of any church. II it
be not, it should be the duty of q Bishop
of the Methodist Episcopal Church to
visit every Church, no matter how small
OF poor. There are 1000 churches to q
Bishop. Each church pays yearly to their
support, yet there are thousands of Meth
odists who never see nor hear a Bishop
and three-fourths of the Churches never
had a Bishop in them. A Bishop should
make an official visit to every Church at
least once in ten years SO that every
Methodist may see and hear n in their
own Church, and it should be required of
them without a special invitation or an
extra fee.
Each minister is required to pay an
equal part of his receipts to the support
of the Bishop. If the Bishop does not
perform his duties which should be a
visit to every church he should not have
the support of that Church.
The last General Conference forbid
them from asking extra fees for a visit,
to dedicate or rededicate a Church. 1t
should be a part of their required duty
and in case they fail to perform it they
should be liable to charges for breach Of
conduct. They need to be reined up
more at the next General Conference.

Congress has passed an antitrust law,
that provides for publicity and the pro-
hibition of rebates. 1t was rushed
through as a salve for public sentiment,
but the fact that Congressman Charles E.
Littlefield's bill was side tracked and
will be smothered in the Senate because
it is too drastic shows that the new law
is a small concession that will not hurt
the big trusts.

The increase in the price OF kerosene
and gasoline the past six months has
been declared to be because OF the great
er demand by its substitute tor fuel. 1t
was not because of its scarcity, nor the
need of it. It was only an excus for
larger profits. On Monday John D.
Rockefeller drew his dividend of eight
millions. The Standard Oil Company
had declared a quarterly dividend of $40
q share. AS this was an increase of $40
over the dividend declared last Novem-
Der, it is clear that he has unnecessarily
extorted millions from the poor people
because of their necessity to cook food
and to keep warm.

There are men in Delaware who claim
that Delaware owns the river to the east
ern shore because somebody said that
somebody many years ago who lived in
New Jersey voted at New Castle. The
argument is about as strong as if Della
ware was to claim part of Maryland or
Pennsylvania, or New Jersey may claim
part of Pennsylvania because men from
other States vote now in Delaware and
New Jersey. There is more evidence
that Addicks' machine and that the Cam

than that Jerseymen ever voted in Della
