ANALYTICAL MOROS FORCE
 FIGHT ON CONSTABULARY

Manila, Dec. 4.--Fanatical Moros and Sanonos forced fight upon a detach- ment of constabulary under Lieutenant Larts, near Mount Malindanin. Minda- nao Island, last Sunday. Six members of the constabulary. four porters and one policeman were killed and one of the constabulary was wounded. The aggressors left twenty of their number dead when they finally scattered.
 Some 4.00o fanatics gathered in the vicinity of the mountains two weeks ago, and Governor Pershing anticipated disorder. Constabulary reinforcements have been sent to the scene of the fight. but no further trouble is expected as the tribesmen are reported to be re- turning to their homes.

 Your blood is badly out of order. oth- erwise you would not have those un- slightly ptmpies. painful boils, beauty destroying blotches. eczema and erup- lions that are a constant source of annoyance and mortification to your self. They vex and give you pain and no one but yourself knows what A source of unhappiness they are. So Tar as you are able you have concealed but these were no good; your tronblo was there all the same; only a little more aggravated by what you had at tempted to do. There is no use in the world doing this sort of thing; the truth of 1t is a serious matter and re- quires serious attention, not palliative, nor neglect. You must go right to the very source of the trouble and then something tangible and satisfactory can be done, and some good results realized.
 The blood must be seen to. Wherever that goes, it distributes to the different parts of the body whatever it carries In other words. it peddles whatever is in its pack; If 1t contains. good wares all well and good; if It holds pernicious wares, then all Is bad. It is Q con stant distributor of health or disease and 1t stands to reason that 1t must be seen to that It's pack is made up of the proper stuffs. In your case there is poison in the pack as evidenced by your skin trouble, the pimples on your face and the boils on your body. the blood. 1t needs what sTUART's CALCIUM WATERS supplies-and when the wafers have begun their in- ternal work the surface of the body will resent the presence of these un- natural and foreign exhibitions. and will rid itself promptly and com pIetely of them. The work will be thorough one. and no pretend ing or veneering. The Calcium Waters regenerate the blood: make vigorous and successful attack on the cause of the trouble; storm the fort as it were and in hundred thousand battles for off victorious and with colors flying.
 We offer a test of these waters in our free trial package; not cure un- derstand; we do not claim for them such potency that a trial package can effect a cure, but if we were afraid that they would not accomplish what we claim they will If properly used. this offer of a free trial package would not be made. This offer of ours amounts to almost a guarantee of their efficiency and virtue. Every druggist carries them in stock; you can get good supply or a box at a time: they Ere not like a liquid which may lose its strength with long standing, or the bottle careIessly left uncorked The waters will cost you 50 cents box This is only reasonable charge made for them and Is the same all over this country. They make an appeal to good common sound sense and need no "bosh" of high sounding names 10 make their merits known, or conceal what they lack. For the trial package address F. A.

PROTECT POLICY HOLDERS
FOR THAT REASON MORGAN CON-
 TROLS EQUITABLE.
lew York State Superintendent of In. surance Makes statement Con- cerning Big Insurance Deal
 of Few Days Ago.

Albany, N. Y., Dec. 4.-J Pierpont Morgan's purpose in purchasing a ma- 5ority control of the stock of the Equitable Life Assurance Society. as stated by himself and his partner, George ". Perkins, was made public tonight in statement issued by State Superintendent of Insurance Hotch- kiss.
 Superintendent Hotchkiss's statement follows:
 Immediately on learning that MT. Morgan had acquired this stock, call- ed upon him personally and requested statement as to his intentions con- corning the same. He replied that in acquiring the stock ne had but single purpose, namely. to prevent It's being sold to different individuals. and thus to make it impossible, that at the ex- piration of the present voting trustee ship, this greatest interest could be used to the detriment of the policy holders. He stated further that he desired the cooperation of the insur- ance department in working out plan whereby the stock, which means the control of the company. would be safe- guarded in the interest of the policy holders, and that could assure Gov ernor Hughes that no steps to that end would be taken by him save with the concurrence of the Insurance De- pertinent.
 "Later in the day had talk with George w. Perkins. of J. P. Morgan & Co.,. who reiterated what Mir Morgan had said. and stated that that gentle- man desired sh ortly to take up with the insurance department the matter of placing the control of the Equitable stock. outside the present or any fu- ture financial situation in New York or in the country, as would end for all time dangers which turk in individual holding, such as that held by MT. Hyde prior to the insurance investigation or 6 trustee holding. such as that which has recently been in effect.
 Tn any such plan which I may ap- prove of, the policyholders of the Equitable may rest assured that their interests will be the sole considera- ton and will be fully protected"
