Our Philippine Trade
Makes Rapid Strides
Heavy Expectation in Hemp and COpra Is a
Prominent Feature of the Situation
in the New Possessions.

Marked increase in the import and ex-
port trade Of the Philippines is shown
in the report Of the Bureau Of Insular
Affairs covering the trade Of the islands

Inc heavy expectation in hemp and
copra is the prominent feature of the
archipelago's trade. and were it not
for the fact that greatly increased pur-
chases Of rice have been necessary dur
ing the past year, these products alone
would furnish the basis for a balance
approximating S2.500.O00 in favor Of the

of rice imported next year will be con-
siderably lessened in view OF the efforts

Our American women have a world

suffer so much that their strength leaves

takes DAYS for them to recover their
strength. OF course. such periodic dis

and drawn faces, the dark circles and
crows feet over the eyes, the straight
figure without those curves which lend
so much to feminine beauty, are the un-
