Almost a normal market was reached
today. when, with supply and demand
practically balanced, there were a@l
few fluctuations IN quotations on t"e

In the vegetable market, signs OF re-
turning normal conditions were mani
tested at the outset, with the reduction
of from 90 cents 20 81 per crate On
various grades Of Florida lettuce, This
is practically "a restoration Of the old

cough Is the result Of n feverish condition be-

caused by the bad state Of your blood You must

the stomach is simply receptacle for any thing

Nature intends IT for another purpose. We should
be careful what swallow and take moderate
meals. We are constructed Of what We cat: it
becomes our blood. limbs and brain. II We want
good blood. sound minds, sturdy legs and strong
arms. free from aches and pains. We must eat
the right kind Of food. You stop eating hearty
meals Of rich or fried food. pastry and sweets.
Take meat only once a day. Drink two glasses
Of water between meals. Drink no coffee.

PHILIPPINE POPE A PUZZLE.
Division as to Wisdom Of Hanging
Him for Crimes.

MANILA, March 11.-An unusual scene
took place at Bilibid. the military prison,
today. when Gov. Gen. Smith made a per-
sonal call on Papa Isio. the black pope
of the Negros Island tribesmen. who 10
confined there under sentence Of death.
The constabulary are urging Gov. Gen.
Smith to commute Isio's sentence to life
imprisonment, because they are certain
that the moment he Is executed one OF
his followers, claiming to be him resur-
rected. will start trouble In the mountains
of Negros. The officers Of the constabu-
larry declare that be he Is kept in prison
where the members of his clan occasion
ally can see him undergoing punishment
for his crime, It will have a deterrent ef-
feet upon future disorders among the
tribesmen.
Isio. who seems to believe that he pos
sesses supernatural powers, told Gov.
Smith that he warred against Spain. but
not America He denied the murders
and plantation distinctions of which he
stands convicted.
