Labor Conditions in the Colonies

\ correspondent in the island of
Guam recently wrote regretting that
the natives had no wants that nature
did not supply, and would find no
market for our manufactured wares
until we were able to create some
artificial wants among the natives.
y somewhat similar condition of af-
fairs seems to prevail in the Philip
pines. y writer in the Review of
Trade, of Manila, says the necessary
labor for the development of the ISL
ands cannot be obtained among the
natives because nature supplies most
of their necessities, and luxuries they
do not want.
1t is further explained that in no
part of the tropics will the natives
labor longer than is necessary to sup
ply their immediate wants. When they
see a surplus in store to carry them
over a month or two they suspend
until hunger again forces them to
activity. The Dutch and British found
themselves confronted by the prob
lem of labor in the cultivation and
development of their straits settle
ments. They resorted to the densely
populated districts of South China,
and it is claimed that the Chinese
are the best laborers on the well culti-
waited plantations of Sumatra and
Borneo.
American residents of the Philip
pines say that the labor problem is of
much more interest than the cur
rency. Being unable to rely up
on native unskilled labor they want
Chinese. They feel that this is to be
the solution of the island develop
ment. whether the yellow laborers
are to be permitted free entry or
are to come in under contract.

goods hcvond their needs, and these

MANY CURES IN THIS CITY
T. III Thomas Reports Good Work Done by
Hyomei in Curing Catarrh.

1t is seldom a remedy has made
so many cures in so short time, as
Hyomei has in curing cases of cat
arrh in Rock Island.
T. II. Thomas has so much faith in
the power of HyOmei to cure catarrh
that at the very start he sold the rem
edy under his personal guarantee to
refund the money in case it did not
but two customers who asked him to
refund the price while scores have
told of the remarkable cures accom-
plished by this medicine.
Hyomei cures catarrh by new
principle, by breathing balsamic air,
not by pills. drugs or nauseating IL
guilds. 1t is the only positive cure
ever discovered for this disease, and
it is also the pleasantest method of
treatment.
The outfit consists of an inhaler, a
medicine dropper and bottle of Hy-
omei; the total cost being $1.00. The
inhaler will last a lifetime, while for
treatment of catarrh a bottle of Hy-
omei is sufficient for more than a
months use. Simply drop little of
the Hyomei into the inhaler then
breathe it for a few minutes four or
five times a day. The air filed with
the balsamic healing of Hyomei en-
tiers the air passages and lungs, kill
ing the disease germs, soothing the
irritated membranes and effecting a
permanent cure.
If cure is not gained ask T. H.
Thomas to return your money and
he will do it without question.
No fairer way of selling a medicine
was ever adopted by any one. You
ought to begin the use of Hyomei

Rib Roast for ROOSEVELT.

President Roosevelt, in his official
capacity as governor of New York,
came in for sound berating by Sena-
tor Hill during his argument as coun-
sci for the corporations in the special
franchise tax case brought before the
New York court of appeals the other
day.
Mr.. Hill attacked Mr.. Roosevelt for
his course as governor of that state
with reference to the passage of the
special franchise tax law. He en-
phatically denied the corporations
were responsible for the alleged un-
constitutional features of the law,
declaring Mr.. Roosevelt himself re-
commended them in so many words.
Gov Roosevelt he characterized as
a man of very limited experience in
the administration of state affairs,
and accused of forcing the special
franchise tax law upon the legislature
as political eXpedient," at the be-
hest of certain minor semi-politieaI
and largely socialistic organizations
self-constituted, irresponsible, noisy
persons, mostly non-taXpayers, as
Stunning a monopoly of the champion
ship of the peoples alleged rights"
Mr.. Hill was very bitter in his at
tack of Mr.. Roosevelt and in private
declared the president was the great
est grand-stand player of the age. 1T
has become the fashion to cheer his
twaddle. The skyrocket is up now.
Watch the stick come down." was his
comment.

CUTICURA
OINTMENT
Purest of EmOIIients and
Greatest of Skin Cures.
The Most Wonderful Curative
of All Time :
For Torturing, DisR9uring
Humours.

Cuticura Ointment is beyond question
the most successful curative for tortur-
ing, disfiguring humours of the skin and
scalp, including loss of hair, ever COM
pounded, in proof of which single
amounting with it, preceded by hot
bath with Cuticura Soap, and followed
in the severer cases by dose of Cuti-
Cura Resolvent Pills, is often sufficient
to afford Immediate relief in the most
distressing forms of itching, burning
and scaly humOurs, permits rest and
sleep, and points to speedy cure when
all other remedies fail. 1t is especially
so in the treatment of infants and chill
dren, cleansing, soothing and healing
the most distressing of infantile hui
mours, and preserving, purifying and
identifying the skin, scalp and hair.
Cuticura Ointment possesses, at the
same time, the charm of satisfying the
simple wants of the toilet, in caring for
the skin, scalp, hair and hands from in
fancy to age, far more etfectually,
agreeably and economically than the
most expensive of toilet emollients.
Its "Instant relief for sllin-tortured

golf, tennis, riding, sparring, or any
sport, each in connection with the use
of Cuticura Soap, is sufficient evidence
of this.
Millions now rely on Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for pre-
serving, purifying and identifying the
skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts,
scales and Gandruff, and the stopping
of falling hair, for softening, whitening
and soothing red, rough and sore
hands, for baby rashes, itchings and
chafngs, as well as for all purposes of
the toilet, bath and nursery.

FiorIda's Agricultural Interests Mors
Prosperous than Ever Before.


Tallahassee, Fla, Feb 21.-The bi.

culture B. E. McLin, now being print.
ed, states that in All it's history the
agricultural interests of Florida have
never before shown SO wonderful
measure Of prosperity and progress
as during the past two years.
To substantiate the assertion. com.
parative statements are published.
These show that the total value of
farm products have increased 81 per
cent in the last four years, while dur
ing the same period the total acreage
In cultivation increased only 1914 per
cent, which demonstrates that the one
million acres being titled is receiving
much more intelligent cultivation,
that more profitable crops are receiv.
Ing attention and better prices being
received.
In this report Commissioner McIin
makes strong recommendations for
legislative provision to secure a geo.
food law which shall authorize the state
chemist, with enlarged laboratory
force, to make analyses of manufac.
tured food stuffs for people offered for
sale in Florida, and for increased ap-
preparations TO carry on the immigra.

It Is stated that immigration to the
state is steadily increasing: that the
sales Of the public lands are much
heavier than ever before, and that the
demand for literature descriptive of
agricultural conditions In Florida from
prospective new settlers is enormous.
