A scientist of note declares that the
growth of plants does not exhaust the
soil. Which statement is true in the
long run, il the plants are allowed to
stand and die, and Ego back into the
ground" as 1t is commonly expressed.
But it would be hard to convince the
average farmer that the growth of plants
does not exhaust the soil, if the plants
are removed for mans use.

Four years ago one hundred Filipino
students were sent by their native gov
eminent to be educated in American
colleges, and this year they have secured
their diplomas. According to the re-
tired army officer in whose general
charge they were, they have been studi-
Gus and of good habits, no one of them
has failed in bis examinations, and the
only trouble with them has been that
they have had a tendency to study too
hard. The only discouraging feature OF
the situation-though the boys are not
to be blamed for it's that of the one
hundred, forty-seven have decided to
remain in America instead of returning
TO benefit their native country. The
disposition and work of these students
should be lesson to two classes of
sxtremists-on the one hand those who
would have US abandon the Philippines
at once, and on the other hand those
who would have them held as per-
petusl dependence of this country for
what we can get out of them. Our duty
lies between those extremes.

The market for bonds is the hardest
In years, and the stock market Is away
down in the dumps, in fact, it Is said
that things in the financial world are
very near a crisis. But it is comforting
to reflect after all that there is just as
much wealth in the country a. there
was six months ago, and that everybody
who wants to work Is just as busy now
a. then. So the possible crisis isn't so
bad as it might be.

The change of feeling effected by the
years is plainly shown by the references
to the recent death of the author of the
poem, "The Blue and the Gray" While
the poem was generally much admired
at the time it appeared, it was doubt
fully received by some, and by some
even condemned as having tendency to
make less valuable the results of the
civil war. Now the beauty of the poem
and its sentiment is universally ac-
knowledged, and its author is commend
cd as assisting materially in reuniting
North and South in loyalty to one flag.

Catarrh Of
The Stml
A Most Dangerous Disease, Which
Causes Serious Results Un.
less Properly Treated.

Catarrh of the Stomach is very
common and is known as one OF
the most obstinate diseases, which,
when neglected, or improperly
treated with cheap patent medi.
cines, tonics, drugs, pills, and
other secret quack remedies results
II broken down constitution and
often consumption and death.
Catarrh of the Stomach. like
every other disease of the stomach,
except cancer. is the result OF
poor digestion. The digestive organs
have become weak. there is a lack
of gastric juice, your food is only
half digested. and az a result you
become effected with loss of appe.
tite, pressure and fullness after
eating, heartburn. vomiting water
brash. tenderness at pit of stom-
ach, Shiny tongue. bad taste in the
mouth, constipation, pain in limbs
and face. sleeplessnees. nausea,
belching OF gas. diarrhoea. sick
headaches, dizziness, mental de-
preston. nervous weakness. and
many. other common symptoms
III your stomach cannot digest
the food you eat, then the stomach
needs rest, as that lie the only
way you can get rid OF your ca
tarrh, but in the meantime your
body needs plenty of nourishment
because you must live and in or
der to live you must eat, and II
you must eat, your food must be
properly digested, and If your
stomach is too weak to do the
work. then you must get sub
stitute that will do the work.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
the only known substitute that
will digest your food as well as
any healthy stomach. They contain
vegetable and fruit essences, asep-
tic pepsin (gov. test. golden seal
and diastase, the very elements
necessary to digest all foods.
Stuartis Dvs"""-'a Tablets are
not a secret remedy and for
very reason thousands of physi-
clans all over the United States
recommend them to their patients
for catarrh of the stomach, dyspep-
sia of all kinds, and other sto-
mach troubles Experiments and
tests have proven that one grain
OF the active principle contained
in these tablets will digest 5000
grazing of food.
