committee to interview Stevens to as
certain his views as expressed in the

expressed by him were decidedly IA

The four Koreans called on Mr.:
Stevens Sunday night. Lee, who
speaks English fiuently, asked Stey-
ems if he had made the statement at

latter replied in the affirmative. The
young men wanted TO know If 1the

Manifesto.
ITO all Koreans in all parts of the
world:
Loyalty to his nation and fea1ty to
his parents is the principal law of
mans nature The right to live and
the right to die for duty is also the
rule of nature
But, alas Grievous times have
come upon Korea, our compatriots.
We who have been educated by our
five hundTed-year-old dynasty and
raised up by our four thousand-year-
old ancestry, have come under the
domination of the barbarous savage
islanders-the Japanese. They have
swOoped upon our country and are
indulging their barbarous appetites
with a cruel heart. 1t is so much
we couldn't say it with our tongues
nor could we write it with our pens.
The Japanese have abdicated our
emperor, destroyed our villages, killed
our brethren, robbed our land, seized
our benefits and are the enemy not
only of Korea but of all the world
for they have violated the peace OF
humanity.
''Compatriots, We must unite and
consecrate ourselves to our land and
restore our independence. We are
sure our God will help US We must
all do our best to kill all Japanese

During the past few months we have
been publishing what some of our good
friends have called "heart-to-heart talks
on patent medicines.
That name suits us all right-"heart-
to-heart talks" is just what we have
intended. There can't be anything more
serious to a sick man or sick woman
than his ailrnent and the remedies he or
she takes to cure it.
Our talks have been "heart-to-heart"
Every word we have printed has been
written IN absolute earnestness and sim
cerity, and Judging from what our GUS
toners tell us, we have not been talking
in vain. We are convinced that our
frankness has been appreciated and that
our suggestions have been welcomed
which naturally encourages us to con-
tinue
To-day, and perhaps for some time to
come, we want to talk about that big
class of remedies known generally as
tfcatarrh cures"
Broadly speaking these, are the patent
medicines that have been the chief tar
gets for the attacks of the Ladies
Home Journal" Golfers Weekly" and
other magazines which are waging such
a lively warfare against patent medicine
abuses.
AS we have pointed out in previous
talks, it is not our business to pass judg-
ment on the crusade of these we'll

The public alone must be the judge and

the lowest possible price.

bottles of so-called "catarrh cures.' and
