Cedar Rapids. May lin an ad-

has recently returned from the Philip
pine islands, where he was superlnten-
dent OF the Methodist Episco pal Mis-
sions. explained the work that is be-
ing done by the church in the new
possessions. He told some interesting
things about the spread of the gospel
among the natives.
Mission work In the Philippine Is
lands" said Rev. Stuntz, has been car
ried on In full view OF the fact that the
divine institution which we call the
state was there and at work and had
its own field to cover, and that our
duty was to carry forward the work of
the church so as to cooperate witt.
that of the state. The work OF the
state has been carried forward on the
whole with wisdom and courage. Its
first step was to repress disorder, and
to establish a judiciary. while educa-
ton, sanitation and other accessories
for the welfare of the people has
claimed the attention of the govern
ment from the beginning. We have
cut the death rate of the city of Ma
Mia in two twice, the sanitary efforts
of the government having saved many
more lives than were lost In the mill
tary movements looking to the estab-
lishment OF American sovereignty. The
public schools have half a million Fill
pino youth enrolled, all of whom are
studying English"
A new judicial system with twenty
one courts Of first instance and SUI
nreme court of seven members have
brought order out of what was Ju-
dicial chaos Those who have been
longest In the islands and most IA
miliarly acquainted with actual con-
ditions in the remoter provinces are
the most hopeful as to the outlook for
the future of the Philippine people.
Rev. Stunt stated that there are
seven protestant missions at work in
the islands. Those having the largest
number of missionaries are: PrespS-
terrain with 49, Methodist with IT, Bap-
list with s, Episcopal with. g. and 9TH
ers with from one to four mission
aries each. The first project undertake

not translated any of its hymns into

a al women work; some In their
honies, some in church, and some in
the whirl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature OF
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, tumors,
liberation, falling and displace-
mer,ts or perhaps irregularity or
suppression, causing backache, ner-
vousness, irritability and lassitude.
They especially require an invigorat-
ing sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and

to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see q woman

back and head are aching, she is SO
tired she can hardly drag about or
