WEEDS.

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young !;
when old, sometimes i'm.
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear. ~
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't. -
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

Progress in the Philippines.

This dispatch from San Francisco makes
good reading:
Dean C. Worcester, Philippine commits
siOner one OF the men intrusted with the
task OF establishing a civil government In
the islands. has arrived here on his way
home to Thetford VI. He reports that the
terrible cattle pest has been stamped out
that cholera and bubonic plague have been
effectively dealt with, that the insular gov
eminent Is making permanent improve
ments and defraying all its expenses on the
proceeds OF a reduced import customs duty
and that the land tax is solving the prob
lem OF revenues for provincial and munich
pal government.
The anti-imperialists may tell US that this
man is simply singing his own praises Not
unlikely they will accuse him OF seeing the
things he speaks of in too rosy light
They are extremely reluctant to accept any
representation OF the condition Of affairs in
the Philippines which does not square with
their predictions that American occupa ton
would become intolerable and disastrous to
the natives and end In failure and dis
grace for ourselves. They have at no time
shown any patience with statements pro-
Ceeding from any source which told of
progress and record credtable to the
American authorities
And yet We may receive without question
this report of Prof. Worcester. His word
alone should carry 1t. But there are many
tiio=s to support it. Plague, pestilence

Washington Union Station.

From the New York Times.
Union railway stations so called, are to
be found In many Of our cities, but a union
railway station like that now building in
Washington is a departure from all prece-
dent and certainly in the right direction
We do not refer to what are to be its un-
equaled size and magnif1cence, but to the
fact that Its facilities are not to be monop-
oliZed by the particular railway companies
for the present convenience and profit Of
which the station is designed. On the con-
trary. the federal and municipal govern
ments. having contributed to its cost, have
ordained that. as their recompense, any
road desiring to enter the national capital
shall be free to do so ON equal terms with
the roads already there. This Is q most 1u-
dicious and far-sighted provision. It rec
ognizes the essentially public nature Of the
service rendered by railways, and of the
obligations incurred by them. and 1t pro-
tects Washington from abuses and restric-
tions, due to the impossbility Of competi-
ton, which New York long has suffered
with partial relief only now in sight. One
passenger station Is enough for any city
under this new plan. and 1t would save
travellers from vast amount Of incon-
venence in making transfers. not to men,
ton the vast amounts they have to pay in
cities where several roads have entrance
for the construction and maintenance Of
separate stations for each road or group OF
roads

Midsummer Disasters.

This has been a week of disasters Pow
der explosions of varying magnitude and
destructiveness have Wed with railroad and
trolley car collisions for public notice, while
a burning naphtha ship in New York har-
Dor added touch of splendor to a scene
of tragedy. Suicides have been reported in
exceptional numbers from all cities. The
midsummer madness has taken possession
OF mar kind. Crime Is rife and the elements
and the laws Of chance have combined to
wrest a terrible toll from humanity. Yet
notwithstanding the tale Of terror and loss
there is no fear of a general declension OF
either the morals of the people or the
chances Of life. Railroad and steamboat
travel Is as safe as ever. perhaps a little
more so. Men are growing more careful
in their handling of explosives despite the
evidence OF tho folly displayed at Lowell
the other day. when a trained employee
poured nitric acid upon nitro glycerine and
Started fire which led to tremendously
destructive explosion. The suicide evil is
beyond close accounting and affords a Sc
r!ous problem for physicians and sociolo-
gists. The truth IS that we are In the deep
est valley Of shadows IN these days of ex-
treme heat and sultriness and men are not
in normal condition nor are their actions
measurable In terms of their usual serenity
and good sense. Yet this fact does not ex-
Cuse or condone crime or self-destruction
or criminal recklessness or inattention to
the laws safe guarding the security OF
others. Every one in a responsible position
should be stimulated by these recurring
reports of disasters to be more than ordi-
narily on guard against trouble.
