THAT is the situation in the Philip
pines. Charges have been made by
reputable citizens, of frightful cruel
ties IN the Philippines. At first these
charges were laughed at. and those
who made them were rldlculed ana
abused. But evidence accumulated and
an investigation was forced. This
investigation proved, SO that no one

stoutly denied. But this investigation
was not strenuously conducted. 1t was
conducted by Senate committee. The
Administration had majority on that
committee. By strict party vote the
committee decided to discontinue the
Investigation, when there were scores
of important witnesses waiting to give
their testimony. BY the same party
vote this committee voted down a
motion to make public the court

Nervous Depression.

Summer months are peculiarly the
months of nervous diseases, especially
nervous prostration and other depressed
states of the nervous system. People
who are not at all inclined to be nervous
or suffer from weak nerves find this
time especially trying. Sultry heat
and electrical disturbances of The at
mosphere are probably the cause of
this.
Invalids need to be particularly care
full to fortify the nervous system by
the use of Peruna.
