DR.. Miles Nervine Gave
Me New Life.

"This is to certify that I have used DR..
Miles Remedies quite extensively, especially
the Restorative Nervine, which has done
wonders for me. Six years ago l had nerv-
Gus prostration and again three years ago, al
which time began taking DR.. Miles Restor-
alive Nervine. l kept taking it for six
during the last two years. l am practically
a new man and feel that l have been given
new lease of life. l used to have very bad
attacks of stomach trouble but since using
the Nervine can eat most anything l want
with impunity. l was examined in Omaha
by a noted German doctor three years ago.
He told me / was liable to paralytic stroke
any moment; that my whole left side was
badly affected. That was just before began
taking DIR. Miles Restorative Nervine.
My work for two years and half has been
very trying on my nerves. l am presiding
elder, travelling my districts at the rate OF
ten thousand miles year, preaching on an
average of five times a week, besides many
business meetings, and the multtudinous
cares of my work in general. Thanks to DR..

Pearls Becoming Scarce .

1t is reported that famine of pearls
has set in, due to the large demand for
these lovely gems. 1t is claimed that
no other stone is so becoming to youth
and beauty, but the majority of people
throughout the country are not able to
purchase these costly gems. However
as long as they enjoy good health they
are far richer and will always look bet
ter than if they possessed all the pearls
in the world. If you have lost the pre-
cious possession-health- should
try Hostetter's Stomach Bitters because
it is recognized as the best health maker
in existance. 1t will cure headache,
nervousness, indigestion, liver and kid
ney troubles and malaria, fever and
ague. Our Private Stamp is over the
neck of the bottle.

SERVANTS IN MANILA.
Would Not Exactly Salt Amer
lean Housewives.

From my friends here / learn that
much of the patriarchal system of liv-
ing still prevails even in Manila, says
an American woman in the Outlook.
In some large houses there are from
twenty TO thirty dependents OF all de-
grees, from poor relations TO cooks
and solutions. These persons live
about the house, sleeping in corners.
and are clothed and fed by the mis-
tress. They marry, have children,
and raise them in a harum-scarum
way that would drive an American
woman TO an insane asylum. Again
and again | have seen in one of the
finest houses here small naked chill
dren asleep behind the parlor door.

they crouched on the floor in the

home, their clothes, food and from
three to five pesos month. In a way,
| suppose they earned this money. as
they nonchalantly polish the hard
wood floors or carelessly flap the dust
from the center of tables and chairs.
They sit on the floor in kitchens in
front of a pan of water and wash the
dishes that are piled up around them
and stack them edgeways along the
wall to dry. Surely their ways are
not ours, and il is a shock 10 the
nerves to see a kitchen in the heat
of preparation for banquet OF
which one is to partake later. IL re-
quires some skin to pass between the

from the chaos. Many of these SER
wants have lived all their lives in one
family. They feel themselves depend
ent on their masters, and the idea
OF their going away or being dis
missed never occurs TO either master
or servant There is consequently
family feeling between them, and
freedom of intercourse that we, dem
ocrats though we are, would not toll

nent by their masters.

THE INSECTS OF PANAMA.
on the Isthmus Anything Hut
Enjoyable.

Owing TO lack Of facilities for travel,
comparatively little is known of the
everyday customs and conditions Of
life in Central America, and we are
prone TO think of these tropical regions
as a place Of lavish. luxuriant vegeta-
tion, everlasting sunshine, gayly
plumaged birds and an ideal atmos-
phere Of relaxation and comfort. We
forget that, during the rainy season,
the mud is four feet deep on the roads
IN Panama; that men die like dogs
during some seasons) in she street, so
fresh graves in day being a common
sight; that sanitary regulations re-
ceive no consideration whatever; that
the soil is a mass Of decaying yegeta-
ton that breathes out disease and
death; that the haunting fear Of
chagres and yellow fever hangs over
every district OF the isthmus, and last
but not least. that life is made one
round Of torment by the legions OF in
sect pests that infest the whole coun-
try, says the Los Angeles Times.
Indeed. IL takes a man of fortitude
'
No amount Of fine scenery and the gay
coloring OF flower and wing will really
compensate for the physical discom-
forts that these myriads OF insect
forms bring 10 man. especially to the
white man, who is less Injured to tor
lures of that kind than is his black
brother. And Yet many Americans go
there, suffer the trials that such eli
mate and life entail, and often come
out none the worse for the experience.

DRINK OF THE FILIPINoS.
their Favorite beverage IL Tuba,
One OF the Products Of the
Coeonnut.

Like the people Of every nationality.
Filipinos have their faYorite beverage,
and this is tuba, one OF the products
of the cocoanut, says the Buffalo News
T@is palatable drink is made by cutting
off the bloom that produces the far Gus
culinary nut. and then bending the
stem so that its sap will run into long
bamboo jug, the joints Of which have
been properly perforated. The drip
pings from a single stem OF the bloom
aggregates several gallons in the
course OF "a hours. Jugs are emftied
night and morning So the proyitent
Filipino who has dozen or more sthns
dripping has barrel or more TO PUP
ply the wants of the thirsty at f'mr
centayos bamboo schooner, wl'ich
holds between n pint and quart The
sap begins to ferment as soon as IL
drops, and as result the jug that con-
tains il is frothed with mother" be-
fore IL Is emptied. Each jugs contents
is strained before it is served, and IL it
be in glass IL can be seen tfat II close
ly resembles the milk of the nut. The
fermentation gives il an acid taste, and
too much OF il will make one think he
has tackled grog barrel. The inn
biber, however. has no fear of racking
head after debauch from IT, and in
this. at least. it has redeeming virtue,
for the after effects are never bad. Min
doro has at least two tuba vendors who
have made themselves comfortable
homes by traffic in the product. The
cocoanut has rank but substantial
growth in Mindoro. and natives are
planting tubers wherever they can find
plat OF ground into which TO stick
them. 1t may be taken from this that
the culture of the cocoanut is destined
TO become one OF the leading industries
OF the island.
