1.-THE Road to WcIlville" Pointed the
Way,

Down at Hot Springs, Ark, the WIS.,
itors have all sorts of complaints, but
it is subject of remark that the great
majority of them have some trouble
with stomach and bowels. This may
be partly attributed to the heavy med
icines.
Naturally, under the conditions, the
question of food is very prominent.
A young man states that he had suf-
fered for nine years from stomach
and bowel trouble. had two operations
which did not cure, and was at last
threatened with appendicitis.
He went to Hot Springs for rheu-
matism and his stomach trouble got
worse. One day at breakfast the
waiter. knowing his condition, sug-
gested he try Grape-Nuts and cream,
which he did, and found the food
agreed with him perfectly.
After the second day he began to
sleep peacefully at night, different
than he had Tor years. The perfect di-
gestion of the food quieted his nerv-
GUS system and made sleep possible.
He says: THE next morning was
astonished to find my condition of con-
stipation had disappeared. l could not
believe it true after suffering for so
many years; then | took more interest
in the food, read the little book The
Road to Wellville, and started follow
ing the simple directions.

GOVERNOR ADAMS STATEMENT
Deprecates Proposed Public Assembly
at Capitol Building.

Denver, Feb. 19.-With reference TO
ing trades council calling for the proc
lamation of a public holiday on Marc h
I'd. and general gathering of citizens
at the capitol on that day. Governor
Adams last night issued the following
statement:
Section "a of the Bill of Rights
reads:
THAT the people have .he right
peaceably to assemble for the common
good and to apply to those invested
with the powers of government for re
dress of grievances by petition or ie-
monstrance.'
This petition granted by the cnrsti-
tuition OF Colorado cannot lie denied
the people, but in the present excite
ment of the public mind l deem 1t I'M
wise for the people to assemble in
mass at the state capitol on March I'd,
as minated by the resolutions pub
lished in The evening press.
81 am not surprised that the threat
ened danger to the ballot and free gov
ernment should awaken the people. but
this is a time for. coolness and not eN-
element
so humiliatins has been the fail
ure of the Peabody side in the contest
so complete the annihilation of their
phantom evidence-that there can be
no question as to the verdict. No hon.
est man who has read or heard the
testimony can for moment doubt my
right to the governorship. So clear
is this that am willing to trust to the
integrity of the Legislature knowing
that their sense of justice. their duty
to Colorado, will master even the
strongest partisanship.
Those who would assemble are good
loyal citizenships. No violence would
be Committed-no wrong would be
done; but under the circumstances |
ask that they forego their right of as
sembly in mass at the capitol upon this
occasion.
Assuring all citizens of the SUI.

New style of Statistics Regarding Sol!
ders in the Philippines.


The Rev. Silas Swallow. whose name
may still linger in the memory of the
observant as the late Prohibition can
didate for the Presidency, will find a
rather hard nut to crack in the recent
report OF Maj. Charles L. Woodruff,
on the drink question in the Philip
pines. Major Woodruff, who is an
army surgeon. has been studying the
effects on Americans residing in the
islands of the use of liquor, and his
observations go quite to upset our
customary views on the subject.
Alcohol, it is commonly believed. is
the white mans bane in the tropics.
and half the ills of our soldiers in the
Philippines have been laid to drink.
But Major Woodruff's statistics of the
health and habits of the men of two
If our regiments long stationed in the
islands point to different and amaz-
ing conclusion. OF the excessive drink
ers in these regiments, siXty-eight per
cent. retained their health of the
moderate drinkers, siXty-six per cent
and of the total abstainers. only forty
six per cent. OF the topers. one and
one-half per cent died; of the moder
ate drinkers, four per cent; of the
teetotalers, nine per cent.
MAJOR WCOdrut induction, there
fore, appears to denote that total alb
stinence, not excessive drinking, is the
thing to be avoided in the Philippines,
and to the imagination of the bibulous
the islands are made to appear as
blissful abode, where conviviality is
conducive to health, and common sani-
tary prudence require man to go on
an occasional "toot." However, Amer
leans going to the Philippines would
do well to remember that Major Wood

On the 10th inst. the committee ap-
