In many instances this nourishing
food has increased the flow of milk so
largely that many who have never
been able to nurse their children could
do so for the natural period While liv

After weaving, Malt Breakfast Food
should be the chief article of diet for
the children, either made as cruel

find this food most delicious and ap-
petizing. 1t contains all the elements
needed to build up good solid bones
strong vigorous muscles and firm, solid

Little ones living upon Malt Break
fast Food are the happiest, healthiest
ioll;est youngsters that ever brought
10y to a mothers heart.
Ask your physician what he thinks
about Malt Breakfast Food as a diet
for the children. We believe he will
tell you that no other food equals it.

wisconsin, after examining Malt
Breakfast Food states: Il believe you

WHAT IT HAS COST
The Lives of 81 American Citizens and
$19O,326,586 Besides Thousands of
Deceased and Wounded

We think that it is time for the
cost of their little experiment In the
direction of imperialism. The So
called insurrectiol in the Philippines
began February 4, 1899. Between that
date and April 80, 1902, when the in
surrection was practically at an end,
50 of our officers and 936 of our en-
listed men had been killed, or had
died of wounds received in battle. Of
the officers At, and of the enlisted men
2,535 had died of disease, and, includ
ing deaths from accident, murder,
drowning, ETC., we had lost 139 Off.
GERS and 4,016 enlisted men. There
were 100 officers and 2,707 enlisted
men wounded. Thus the total cas-
ualties directly traceable to the war
were, up to April, 1902, 329 officers and
,6,72S enlisted men. Many have been
killed and wounded since April of last
year. We have been fighting with
the Moros, ladronism still continues,
and, above all, the deadly climate is
We make no argument now, but
simply call attention to one factor Of
the problem which the president and
those who agree with him seem prone
to push into the background. 1t is al
ways we'll to look at both sides of the
question. Possibly in this connection
we may be permitted to mention the
fact that thousands of Filipinos have
lost their lives either in battle or by
disease and starvation consequent on
the war; Nor should it be forgotten
that we paid Spain $2O,000,0O0 for the
islands, and that the war up to April,
1902, had cost this nation $170,326, $50
in gold. In other words, we have
pai dmore than 1000 lives of brave
Americans, over $200,000,000 in money,
and thousands of Filipino lives on
account of our experiment in the
Philippines.
As we say, we make no argument.
Our only purpose is to give the people
the facts that are necessary to the
formation of sound opinion on this
important question. All we ask is that
sensible men should think of what the
