Port Improvements in the Philippines.

The port at Manila long had the
reputation of being one of the most
expensive in the Orient so far as get
ting goods from the ships tackle to
the wharf was concerned. As the
water is shallow ships were obliged to
anchor a long distance from the shore,
and all merchandise were lightered in
native craft at an expense often times
greater than the freight charges from
Hongkong.
For twenty years before American
occupation, the Spaniards had been
collecting taxes for the purpose of port
improvements and had performed
about ones third Of the work AS soon
as the American authorities took
charge they began to push things

will accommodate the entire commerce
of the port aud allow vessels to anchor
behind the breakwater and along the
great docks and discharge cargo at all
seasons of the year without any charg-
es for Tightening, thus reducing the
cost of every article, from pins to loco
motives, imported mo the islands.
The two other important ports are
Cebu and Iloilo, and $500, 900 have
been appropriated for the former
and $150, 900 for the latter and the
work is we'll underway. Good ports
are the chief factors that have con-
tributed to the building up of the great
trade centers of Hongkong and Siga-
pore, that have done so much for
British commerce in the Orient.
Should the Americans retire from
the PHILIPPINES at the present time. as
is urged in some quarters, and the
islands be left to govern themselves,
these improvements would cease. COM
merce would languish, and the re-
mark Il BILE material advancement that
has marked the past five years of
PHILIPPINE history would be arrested.
Such retreat from self evident duty
would be crime against civilization
and defeat the very object desired by
the mistaken friends of the Fiipinos.

THE GREAT SECRET

OF woman's preset 7ation of her beauty
lies in the intelligent care of the womanly
health. So close is the relation between
the health of the delicate woinanly organs
and the health of the whole body, that
whenever the feminine functions ace de-
ranged or disturbed the consequences are
felt by every nerve in the body. Severe
headache, backache, pain in the side, and
bearing down pains are borne with by so
many thousands of women that one who is
in sound health is rare exception. Most
women would give anything to kn0aO how
to be cured. The way is very plain. Fol-
low the path made by more than a half
million women who have been perfectly
cured of womanly ills and weakness.
