TAFT's POLICY.
trine ofthe Philippines for
the FilipiAos.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The Philippines
for the Filipinos will be the keynote Of
the policy Of Secretary Taft toward the
far eastern archipelago. In almost the
last speech he made before leaving the
Philippines for home he reiterated this
keynote, which he first sounded when
he was inaugurated governor OF tho
Philippine islands. This speech has
been published by the insular govern
ment in an official fornl and has just
reached the war department. In it Gov.
Taft declared that this doctrine does not
exclude the encouragement Of American
enterprise or the American investment
of capital in the Philippines, for the rea-
son that nothing. not even education OF
free form Of government can make
for the elevations and civilization OF the
Filipino people than the investment Of
an American capital in the material de-
yelopment of these islands"

NEW SHlRTWAIST SUITS.
Pompadour Gown of Light Material and Blouse-Waist for You.g
 Women

The pretty girl of the season who goes in for effects is now putting together T pompadour gown. She is making 1t of thin lawn, figured with pompadour roses, and she is cutting the skirt round and making the waist in blouse fash ion The round skirt tucked from the belt downward to the knee, and made the same length all the way around is the most fashionable skirt of the season, says the Washington Star
 To make one of these extremely fashionable round skirts it is neces- sary to know how to fit as well as how to cut out and sew These skirts are skin-tight around the hips and are actually nodded to the figure. They set as snug as possible almost to the knee, when they begin to flare. They flare evenly all the way around and at the floor they swing clear. They are round and short and are delight fully pretty.
 The short, round skirted gowns are worn for reception and dancing and dinners. and are made of lovely stuffs. But for everyday and afternoons, take a gown of pompadour lawn. Let it be all pink roses, cut the skirt round, and you will have something delightful
 The waist. which should be a very full blouse in front. is huttoned in the back. The front is laid in pleits and is very full indeed This is one of the latest ways to make summer shirt waist suit.
 Shirt waist suits are made of taffeta, of voile, of moire, of pompadour 5ilk. of liberty and even of chiffon velve5 The incest materials are put together along these lines and the result is amazingly good
 One of the newest shirt waist suits shows a very youthful tendency. It makes the figure look younger, rnG that is a great triumph for any suit It is cut so that it buttons down Tho back, while the front is very long in the waist
 In the new waists there are all tae fashionable tendencies of the waists of 1904. The front is long and low The shoulders are very broad and very wide and very low. The sleeves arc immense below thetelbow, and there ,s the straight, deep cuff This makes the shirt waist suit eharmingly youth ful. no matter if worn by a woman of middle years. It also helps the figure and, with these points in its favor. there is very little to be said agains. it.

A BACK LICK
Settled the Case with Her.

Many great discoveries have been made by accident and things better than gold mines have been found in this way, for example when even the accidental discovery that coffee is the real cause of ones sickness proves of most trench deus value because 1t locates the cause and the person has then chance to get well.

T suffered untold agonies in my stomach and even the best physicians disagreed as to the cause without giving me any permanent help. different ones saving it was gastritis. indigestion, neu- salgia, etc, so I dragged along from year to year. always half sick. until nnally gave up all hopes of ever being sell again.
 When taking dinner with friend enc day she said she had new drink which turned out to be Postum and l liked it so well told her I thought I would stop coffee for awhile and use it, which did.
 So for three months we had Postum in place of coffee without ever having one of my old spells but was always healthy and vigorous instead
 Husband kept saying he was con- Ginced it was coffee that caused those spells, but even then I wouldn't believe n until one day we got out of Postum and as We lived two miles from town thought to use the coffee we had in the house
 The. result of weeks use of coffee again was that had another terrible spell of agony and distress proving that il was the coffee and nothing else. That settled it and l said good bye to Coffee forever and since then Postum alone ha: Seen our hot mealtime drink.

ROASTED STRENGTH OF MAN
What Happened When This One Tried to Compete with the

 She was a slight fragile thing tkai would weigh less than hundred.
 He was a big. bulky creature that tipped the beam at twice as much, re- lates the Baltimore American.
 Yes. he was the stronger-she would not have dared venture far without her strong protector.
 Her health was delicate and she must be taken care of in every possible way
 No precaution must be neglected.
 Refreshments were served.
 The man had indigestion.
 So he touched lightly on the viands placed before him and groaned inward ly to think of the punishment next day
 His wife ate ravenously of everything set before them.
 And then she called for more.
 But they were only light. Gigestiblt things such as welsh rarebits, salads deviled ham sandwiches, macarConS and the like.
 With some black coffee
 Nothing that would hurt anyone
 After dinner they sat in a draft OF tae yeranda and cooled off
 The clothes the wife had on wcul. have weighed two ounces gross.
 From her waist line up she had or not quite enough to have furnished up holstery for a 25-cent Gollhouse's outfit Any portions of her anatomy above the elbows that you did not care te observe could be hidden only by bind folding yourself
 The man had on medium weight un- dershirt, very stiff dress shirt, a coal and vest, with high-standing collar an6 tie.
 He was slightly chilly and slid ovel where the draft would not strike him.
 Wifey asked for her fan.
 Next day Hubby was detained iron the office by reason of a bad cold anC acute indigestion due to dissipation anC exposure.
 Wifey was as chipper as a squirrel and never felt better in her life.
 But she had to stay at home for few evenings because her strong protector was i'll and could not go out
