The tendency OF medical science is to.

thought Of the world IL being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better to
prevent than to cure. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one OF
the most dangerous diseases that medi-
cal men have to contend with. can be
prevented by the use Of Characteristic
Cough Remedy. Paeamonia is always
results from q cold or from an attach Of
snlluenza grip. and it has been cbser'
ged that this remedy cOunteracts any
tendency of these diseases toward pnea-
uonie. This has been fully proven IN
many thousands Of cases an which chin
remedy has been used during the great
prevalence of colds and grip in recent
years. and can be relied upon with ina
piicit confidence. Pneumonia often re-
cults from a slight cold when no danger
is apprehended until it is suddenly dis
covered that there Is fever and difficulty

1--WE will be capacitated to do

Manager Freeman this morning at

Quantity and quality of salt mined
has attracted attention throughout
the United States. Salt was min

and Ben Butler, while in COM
mand of New Orleans sent his
soldiers up there to destroy the
mine and they did the best Job
they knew how. But the mining
of salt ever since the war has be-

The question of the withdrawal Of the friars
at the outset the most important connected
with this problem, has, il is said at the War
Department. practically settled itself. OF the
great body of friars in the Philippine Islands at
the outbreak Of the with Spain, only two
hundred odd are said to have remained. and
nearly ell of these are in Manila They have
found calls to other fields Of duty outside the
archipelago. and those who remain, being almost

10 get away from the islands as those who
maintaining them at some sacrifice are anxious
10 have them go. Even if a few remain il is
felt that their power further TO en1barrass the

It is not doubted that the President and Sec
