Secretary Taft Sends Interesting Letter
to Yale News.


A dispatch from New Haven, Conn, last
night says:
Secretary of War William II. Taft, who
is a graduate of Yale in the class of 1878
has written an open letter for the Yale
News to the students of the university re-
garding a young college mans opportunity
in the Philippines. He says in part:
yale men who desire to go into profess
sional work in the Philippines should per-
feet themselves professionally here and at
the same time learn Spanish and the civil
law thoroughly. There are exceptional OPP
portunties for bright young men who go
into the practice of law-men OF good char
acter and who have sense enough to charge
only moderate fees for the work they do.
Those who desire to enter the public
service and who. have money enough to
spend a year without work had better go
to the Philippine Islands and study the
language there, and then pass an examina-
ton before the civil service board In those
islands.
Engineers are in great demand in the
islands provincial supervisors or as en-
ployes i'll the engineering bureau of the
central government and this is the be-
ginning of a period of great construction
the demand for them is likely to increase.
For the man who goes to the islands and
gets into the service and does not sit up
nights thinking about when he will get
more salary. but makes himself useful and
does things, there is no place in the world,
l think, where he can count on earlier pro-
motion. There is an absence of rational
amusement to occupy leisure hours, and so
the temptations to drink and other amuse-
ments so likely to abuse are great. Then
the American in dealing with the Filipino
is too likely to expect from him American
energy, American promptness and Ameri-
can persistence. The American who goes
there and expects TO make success must
above all be patient and kindly toward the
Filipino"

GFsTEp-soME SToMACHS MUST HAVE HELP
Food taken into the Stomach which. from he
nature Of the food the condition Of the stom-
aeh is not digested, Is worse than no food at all
This is a true statement far as 1t goes. and
great many dyspeptics go only this far with their
reasoning. They argue with themselves that De-
cause their stomachs do not do the work given
them they be given less work; N other ~oros'

lieve his stomach. The sensible business man en-
ploys help and goes forward with his business
Likewise the sensible dyspeptic will employ help
for his stomach and give his body proper nourish-
ment.
stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets actually do the work
assigned to them They relieve weak and over
burdened stomachs Of a great portion OF digestive
action. Their component parts are Identical with
those of the digestive fluids and secretons OF the
stomach and they simply take up the grind and
carry on the work Just the same as good, strong
healthy stomach would do it,
On this account Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets ore
perfectly ma in their action and effects. They
do not any unnatural or violent disturbance
In the stomach bowels. They themselves digest
the food and supply the system with all the nour-
ishment contained in what is eaten and carry out
Natures plans for the sustenance and maintenance
Of the body.
How much more sensible is this method than that
employed by many sufferers from weak stomachs-
by this the body and brain get all the good,
nutritious food they need and the man is properly
nourished and equipped to carry on his work and
perform his duties. He could not possibly be IN
proper working condition by starving himself OF
employing tangled, insufficient food that
does not contain enough nuiriment for a year-old
baby. strong man doing strong work must be
properly fed and this applies TO the brain as well
as the body.

gain its normal health and strength. Nature re-
pairs the worn and wasted tissues just she heals
and knits the bone of a broken limb, which Is Of

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale by all
druggists at 30 cents box, and they are the one
article that the druggist does not try TO sell some
thing In the place Of that's just good Their
unqualified merit and success and the universal
demand for them has placed them within the reach
of every one. fe24&26

a determined resistance, although only half
Of them had guns that would shoot.
y. Under the Guns

The Americans landed under the guns of
the warships. The shells raked every
street of the town; still it's defenders
stuck to their post. When the several thou
sand soldiers under Wheaton advanced, the
insurgents charged them and fought hand
to-hand. Many Americans were cut with
bolos, and some had broken bones where
they were struck by the butts of muskets.
One man was killed by being dubbed over
the head in this fashion.
1t developed later that the insurgents
had only four rounds of ref1lled cartridges
apiece. Most of them had not been in a
serious fight before. Still they held out
until just two-thirds of their number were
down. Then the rest retreated in an or
derby manner.
After this fight woman was found on the
street bleeding from a dangerous wound.
The American surgeons attempted to stop
the flow of blood, but she stubbornly re-
fused to allow them to bandage her, and
died while she was pushing them away.
