Berlin is the only city in the world
that has those institutions. In our
country, where the women are nearly
all teetotalers, we don't need them. In
England they don't need them because

munion, l expected to find bitterness
and acrimony between the Roman
Catholics and the Professionals. But
this is not the case, and for two rea-
sons. The first is that the Protestant
missionaries have worked with tact
and quietness and have endeavored to
avoid arousing antagonisms and Sec
tartan bitterness.
The second is that the old church
organization has its hands full with
the Aglipay schism, which claims not
only more than 100000 adherents,
but also a large part of the church
property in the islands. This ques-
ton is now being fought out in the
courts. In the meantime, the two
wings of Catholicism are manifesting
no little bitterness toward each other.
Archbishop Agius, the Apostolic dele
gate, could not find terms with which
to characterize Aglipay, when
preached the matter to him.
And from what could ascertain I
suspect that he is pretty nearly cor.
rect in regarding Aglipay as a selfish
schemer, an opportunist, and a poll
tician. Aglipay, who rose to power
on the tide of opposition to the friars,
merely represents the idea of revolt
against old and evil conditions He
seems to stand for nothing-or rather
for anything and everything-in a
theological way; in one district he
processes himself as steadfastly de-
voted to all the historic teachings and
practices of Rome; in another, he is
practically Protestant, attacking
church rites and distributing Bibles.
So bitter is the strife between the
Roman Catholics and the Aglipayans
that neither pays much attention to
the Protestants, who go unmolested
on their way, adding great numbers
to the Protestant churches. Many re-
cruits, / am told, come to the mis-.
sionaries from the Aglipayan fold,
having discovered the unsatisfactory
condition of the latter. Not few of
the earliest adherents of the Pro-
testant missionaries became such
from political motives; anything to
show rebellion against the Spanish
friars. Many of these early fell away,
but some have become intelligent
workers in the Protestant churches.
Good Words for the Filipino.
A further word should be written

bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days OF
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years In
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination of drugs.

The result of the row among ath.
letes over the appointment of Mat,
thew P. Halpin as manager of the
American team, which will take part
in the Olympic games at London, may
result in the selection of large num-
Der of college athletes for the team.
Several of last years Athens team an
nounce that they will not go to Lon
don with Halpin as manager, and the
committee declines to remove him.
The recent suspension of Ralph Rose
of San Francisco, the great weight
thrower, on charges of professional
ism, leads those interested In ath-
letics to believe that the Amateur
Athletic union is going to be stricter
than ever before in enforcing the rules
against professionalism, and several
other well-known athletes are believed
to be slated for suspension. 1t is
said that the colleges are prepared to
raise sufficient money to send their
athletes abroad, and the men naturally
having more time at their disposal

the general opinion that fully two
