UNA IDEA Amelia Y T0NTAN

Sc creia antiguamente, que u.u
medicina era benGica en- proportion
a 10 repugnante de su SAILOR y olor;
pero va sabemos que tai iJea era
un disparate. No hay ninguna ra-
z0n por la cual la medicina dcha
offender 4 los sentidos mas que los
alimentos, y por 10 mismo, uno dc
los triunfos mas grandes que ha al
canzado la quimioa en- los dltimos
amos, consiste en- 10 que Sc puede
lamar Ia redenci6n del aceite de
higado de bacalao. Todo ell mundo
sabe cuan asqueroso es ell sabor y
olor de esta droga en- su estado ma
tural, y no es de extranarse que II
mayoria de Ia gente declare que
predere sufrir la enfermedad a to-
mar ell aceite de higado de bacalao
A pesar de todo 10 que sc olga en
contrario, las emulsiones son entera-
mente tan repugnantes como el a.
ceito puro. Ahora bien, es una de
las leyes de la naturaleza, que un
remedio que es repugnante al olfato
y al paladar, y que tambien revuel-
We el est6mago, no puede producer
buenos resultados, pues ell a organis-

Setiembre, Ell dfa de hoy fu6 ell
designado por ell Ayuntamiento, q in
dicacion del Alcalde, para demostrar
el pesar que produjera la muerte del
eximio puertorriqueno EUGENIO
MARIA DE HOSTOS.
FL AIcalde en- atenta carta invite al
vecindario para que ese dfa enarbola-
sen banderas q media asia en- senal de
dicho duelo
No bien amanecio, tendimos la vista
y confundidas sentimos dos distintas
emOclOnes: la pena que embargaba
nuestra alma por la p6rdida del paisa
no y amigo y la algeria producida al
contemplar unas cuentas banderas
francesas, espanolas y puertorriquefas
enarboladas media asta.
Las puertorriquenas en- su inmensa
mayorIa, pertenecian al pueblo obrero.
Tai despertar del patriotismo nos en-
tusiasm6 mas no pudimos menos que
exclamar; <PUEDE HABER RE
DENCION.0
Esos obreros, las eternas yfctimas,
los que sufren las consecuencias de los
errores del poder Gubernamental 8 la
xpeculaci6n despotica del capital, estoy
seguro que en- csc momento no pens0
81 pertenecia q este 8 al otro partido
politico y solo obedeci6 al grito que de
10 mas recondito de su alma saliera y
que lie dijo: ell ser puertorriqueno y Ell
sentimiento de la Patria esta afectado
por la muerte de uno de sus mejores
hijos y tn debes esteriorizar tn pesar
enarbolando la bandera de tn terra 4

deber.

las esperanzas perdidas empieza Wis
lumbrarse alguna al amparo de tai de

dor de la propiedad ell cuartel de la
Policia Ins ular enarbolaron la bandera
Americana al tope y la casa Escuela

Some Of the foulard silks are almost
II not quite transparent, and there are
many fine Examines in navy. also IN
black, and no end Of printed india silks
in all eeIors. but 1t seems that black
and white and the blues and white are
to be the best choice of all. There are
many light faffetas in plain eolors and
black and white, some of it striped. and
quantities of habutais and shanghals.
These will be mostly used to make
waists. The Japan corded silk is also
for that purpose.
Pongees are shown as among the very
best of the seasons output, and almost
all of them IRE embroidered in self col
or. They make up into elegant and Ia
dylike dresses. Some Of them have only
the waist part embroidered. while 9TH

founces. Very deep founees and doa-
