Manila (By Cable) "A banquet given
by natives to Secretary of War Taft's
party attracted great interest, as it was
expected that Secretary Taft would out
line the policy of the present admins
tration. For some time the feeling
among the natives has been that the adj
ministration was deviating from the Me-
Kinley policy, and as result there
has been noticeable disaffection among
politicians with the insular government
and also much popular unrest
This attitude was met fearlessly by
Secretary Taft, who upheld the admins
tration policy. When he finished his ad-
dress he was loudly applauded
Secretary Taft, in forceful language,
said that the Filipino and those who
wished to rule the country must learn
the principles of democracy by sending
their children TO the common schools
before they could invite the United
States to transfer the trust, which had
been thrown upon it, to the shoulders
of the Filipinos.
The Secretary affirmed that a popular
assembly would be formsdRf no insur-
rections existed, in April, 1907.

surface. coffin containing skeleton,
to which were clinging fragments Of
clothing, evidently Of rich material.
From some Wondering military en-

HEART RIGHT
When He Quit Coffee.

Life Insurance Companies win not
insure a man suffering from heart
trouble. The reason is obvious.
This is serious matter to the hus-
band or father who is solicitous for the
future OF his dear ones. Often the
heart trouble is caused by an unex-
pected thing. and can be corrected if
taken in time and properly treated. A
man in Colorado writes:
II was a great coffee Grinker for
many years, and was not aware of the
injurious effects of the habit till l be-
came a practical invalid, suffering
from heart trouble. indigestion and
nervousness to an extent that made
me wretchedly miserable myself and a
nuisance to those who witnessed my
sufferings.
II continued to drink Coffee, how
ever, not suspecting that it was the
cause of my ill-healtn, till. on applying
for life insurance was rejected ON ac-
count of the trouble with my heart
Then ! became alarmed. found that
leaving of coffee helped me quickly,
so quit it altogether. and having been
attracted by the advertisements of
Postum Food Coffee began its use.
The change in my condition was re-
markable. and 1t was not long till
was completely cured. All my ailments
vanished. My digestion was complete

Tavern signs Buried.

Whenever an inn on the Cumber-
land estates of the Towards, earls Of
Carlisle, loses its license, the inn sign
is buried. The obsequies take place
at dead of night, in the presence of as
many of the old customers as can be
collected. AS a sort of libation bot
tie of spirits, generally whisky. is
poured into the grave, and an appro-
pirate burial service repeated. The
temperance advocates In the crowd
cheer Justify, and the droughty ele-
ment become mock mourners. or jest
ers, as the fancy takes them. The
strains of concertina or some simi-
lar instrument usually help to enliven
the proceedings. The last inn to have
its sign buried was the Moor Cock,
at Lanercost, whose license was TAX
en- away by the Brampton justices.

acood Time" 200 Years Ago.

century a number of ruffianly young
men of the higher classes-called by
Swift "a race of rakes that play the
devil about the town every night
known as "Mohocks," infested London.

to atrocious insults.
Lecky says that matrons, Enclosed
in barrels, were rolled down the steep
and stony Snow hill. Watchmen were
numerically beaten, and their noses
were slit. Coaches and chairs were
overturned on rubbish heaps and coun-

to be accompanied by their armed re-

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

R. C. Dun & Company's Weekly Re
view of Trade" says:
TRADE reports are less uniformly IA
vorable, but adverse factors are OF
temporary nature, and the net results
for the week is satisfactory.
Numerous strikes have occurred, ex-
erting the customary pernicious influence
over business, and the epidemic of yell
low fever is restricting Southern trade.
On the other hand, thermal conditions
have facilitated retail trade, crop pros
poets have greatly improved, and out-of-
town buyers are numerous in all the
leading markets.
"Iron furnaces and steel mills make
progress, but less rapidly. Lumber mills
and dealers are having an exceptionally
busy season. Railway earnings in July
were "a per cent. greater than in the
same month last year.
Little change has occurred in the f.
nancial situation, rates ruling easy, while
prices of securities have risen close to
the highest point on record.
Recovery in the iron and steel indus
try comes more slowly than was antici-
pated, yet there are numerous indica-
tons of better tone.
Raw materials of the footwear indus
try continue strong, hides commanding
the highest position since the Civil War
and showing no indication of reaction.
Failures this week numbered 222 in
the United States, compared with 222
year ago, and 10 in Canada, against 80
last year"
Bradstreet's says:
Wheat, including flour, exports for
the week are $4,000 bushels, against
I,o4I,6oo last week, I,2SI,3oo this week
last year, 3,4I3,IoI in 1908, and 4,5oI,-

A Swan In Mourning.

A swan about which curious story
is told in Cumberland. England, has
Just returned for its summer visit to
Moorhouse Farm.
Originally the swan took up his
abode on the lakelet in company with
his mate, but their nest was robbed
and the female bird died, apparently
broken-hearted. The bereaved con-
sort covered the body with leaves and
seeds and departed.
Every spring since he has regularly
returned to the grave always alone,
and, with the water hens for com.
pany, swims disconsolately about the
farm throughout the summer.-Lon

MANY PHYSICIANS PRESCRIBE

Vegetable Compound

h The wonderful power OF Lydia E..
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases Of womankind is not be-
cause it is a stimulant. not because it
is palliative. but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of themwoulda cknowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect cure. The follow
ing letter proves it.
DR.. s. G. Brigham, Of Brigham
Park, Fitchburg, Mass, writes
"It gives me great pleasure to say that
have found Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound very efticacious, and often pre-
scribe it in my practice for female difficulties
my Oldest daughter found it very benef-
cial for uterine trouble some time ago, and my
youngest daughter is now taking 1t for fe-
male weakness, and Is surely gaining in health

the benefit of a wider experience in
