Juaae Iae On The PhIIIppInes.

The most interesting feature of
Memorial day in ST. Johnsbury was
the address at the Grand Army camp
fire in the evening by Judge Henry
c. Ide of the Philippine commission.
A great audience greeted the Judge.
He said in part 81 am not entirely at
home in discussing the army in the
Philippines, as my duties have been
with civil lite of that new government,
but / can briefly express my opinions
as an outsider. For long time the
newspapers were filled with stories
OF conflicts between the civil and
military authorities and OF the afro
cities OF the American soldiers. Now,
il was not at all strange that there
should be some jealousies and diff
culties between the two departments,
but they were so few and so carefully
worked out that great credit belongs
to the heads OF these two sides,
General Macarthur, General Chatee
and General Davis on the one side
and Judge Taft on the other. Now,
as 10 the atrocities, let me say that
atrocities have been committed, viii
lagos have been plundered, natives
have been tortured and abused. But
our United States soldiers have been
tortured and abused. Human nature
is alike everywhere. Our soldiers
sometimes found themselves march
Ing on ground that had been strewn
with the deadllest poison. When
captured a. prisoners they were mutt
lated. dismembered. slowly burned
to death, or otherwise most btutally
tortured. When their friends cap
tured the tormentors 1t was i'm
possible for our soldiers to restrain
themselves. But the atrocities have
been enormously, unreasonably and
disproportionatelly exaggerated. There
never was war in civilized or I'M
civilized countries that was waged
more mercifuIly, more kindly and
more humanely than the war in the
Philippines In closing, Judge Ide
spoke of what the civil government
had accomplished in the three years
OF its existence.

II your kidneys are working with diff
Guilty and not filtering the blood, true
specific like Kidney-Wort Tablets will
safely arouse them to healthy action.
An INSCRIPTIONS, ignorant remedy, con-
tanning alcohol, as all liquid kidney RENE
dies do, viii stimulate them so violently
that an Inflammation will be set up, and
instead Of being merely lazy the kidneys
will become diseased. Alcohol congests
the kidneys with blood and retards their
activity.
There is no alcohol in Kidney Wort Tab
lets to interfere with the removal of all
harmful sediment from the body. The
Tablets soothe and heal the kidneys when
they are irritated and infiamed. They cure
the kidney diseases that make you dizzy,
restless, sIeepless, and irritable; that make
you pass water often during the day and
night, that cause rheumatism, catarrh of
the bladder, pain in the back, joints and
muscles; that make your head ache; and
cause Indigestion, stomach and liver
trouble. and sallow. yellow complexion.

A Veternn,a story.

Bath, N. r., April 13th.-The first con- sideration of the Commandant and Officers in the conduct of the Soldiers and Sail ors' Home here, is the health of the Vet erans. Kidney Troubles are the most com mon cause of ailment, very few of the old men escaping these in some form or other.
 Of course the comrades do as much as possible for themselves and one of the most popular and useful remedies em- ployed is Dodd's Kidney Pills which seem to be almost infallible in cases of Kidney Arrangements. Indeed, there are among the. veterans, several who claim to owe their lives to Dodd's Kidney Pills.
 For instance, A. E. Ayers, who came to the home from Minneapolis, Minn., was given up by four doctors in that city. He had Bright's Disease and never expected to live through it, but his life was saved and his health restored by Dodd's Kid ney Pills.
 His experience has made the remedy very popular among the men and no one who has used Dodd's Kidney Pills for any Kidney Trouble has been disappointed.

 out It.

It must be apparent to every one that qualities of the highest order are neces- sary to enable the best of the products or modern commerce to attain permanently to universal acceptance. However loudly heralded, they may not hope for worldwide preeminence unless they meet with the general approval, not of individuals only, but of the many who have the happy faculty of selecting, enjoying and learn ing the real worth of the choicest prod ucts. Their commendation, consequently
 becomes important to others, since to meet the requirements of the well in- formed of all countries the method of manufacture must be of the most per feet order and the combination the most excellent of its kind The above is true not of food products only but is espe- ciasIy applicable to medicinal agents and after nearly a quarter of century or growth and general use the excellent remedy. Syrup of Figs, is everywhere accepted, throughout the world, as the best of family laxatives. Its quality Is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative and carmin- ative principles of plants known to act most beneficially on the system and pre- scented in the form of pleasant and re- freshing liquid, but also to the method of manufacture of the California Fig Syrup Co.,, which ensures that uniformi- ty and purity essential in a remedy in tended for family use. Ask any physi- clan who is well informed and he will answer at once that it is an excellent laxative. If at all eminent in his pro- fession and has made special study of laxatives and their effects upon the sys- tenn he will tell you that it is the best of family laxatives, because it is sim pie and wholesome and cleanses and sweetens the system effectually, when laxative is needed, without any un- pleasant after-effccts. Every well-in- formed druggist of reputable standing knows that Syrup of Figs is an excel lent laxative and Is glad to sell 1t, at the regular price of fifty cents per bot tie, because it gives general satisfac- tion, but one should remember that in order to get the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs it is necessary to buy the genuine, which is sold in original pack ages only; the name of the remedy Syrup of Figs and also the full name of the ompany-California Fig Syrup Co.,.

 J. F. Wainwright, of the firm of Bones & Wainwright, painters and contractors, Pulaski, Va, says: -Four or five times year for the past few years I have suffered with severe attacks of pain in my back, caused from kidney trouble. During these spells I was in such misery from the constant pain and aching that it was almost impossible for me to stoop or straighten, and it really seemed as if the whole small of my back had given away. At times, also had difficulty with the kidney secretions which were dis colored, irregular and scalding, and l was also greatly distressed with headaches and dizziness. I used number of recommended reme- dies but I never found anything so successful as Doan's Kidney Pills. When I heard of tl em I had an at tack and procured box of them.

Excursion Landed at BOynton
Beach Under Name Of Sunday
School Excursion.
QUAKER CITY FAST.
For a Short Time there were Exciting
Scenes for the Danish M. E. Excursion
lists who were on their Annual Outing
Yesterday Quaker City Tried to Make
a Landing and was Wedged

The members of the Danish Metho-
dist Sunday school, who went to
Boynton Beach yesterday, had a fine
time up until about 30 O'Clock in
the afternoon when party of negroes,
who came down from New York ON a
steamer and two barges, landed and
started in to have a high old time
among themselves. :
A party of the colored men and
women were walking around the
beach when suddenly they began to
scrap. The captain of the excursion
boat, hearing of the trouble, quickly
footed the whistle for all aboard.
The wounds of some of tine party were
dressed aboard the boat by the deck
hands and other employees.
Just as the excursion boats were
about to leave the beach, the steamer
Quaker City was trying to make a
landing and she became fast between
the steamboat dock and dock which
has peen built for the summer. AT
ter trying every possible way to get
out, the captain was compelled to
blow for the aid of tug. After half
an hours work the tug got the boat
out into the stream again and started
for home.
Mr.. Boynton, the proprietor OF the
beach, is not to blame for the trouble
as he received word from New York
that Baptist Sunday school excur-
sion would come to the beach on that
day, and he, knowing that the Danish
Methodist Sunday school children, OF
this city, would be there, thought
that there would be no harm in letting
them come, not knowing that they
were nergoes. This will not happen
again at Boynton Beach.
