Asiatic cholera or from yellow fever.
In the second subdivision Of the
class of general disease there were
compiled s deaths from glanders, IA
from anthrax (maligant pustule), SIS
from rabies (hydrophobia), 3S from
actinomycOsis, trichinosis, etc., 116
from pellagra, Sc from lead poisoning,
and s from other occupational poi
soning.
Pellagra is a new disease in the
mortality statistics the bulletin states.
Oily 23 deaths were returned from
this cause for 1908, and no deaths
for any previous year except 1 for
1904. Such deaths undoubtedly oc-
Cured, but were not recognized and
were consequently returned as due to
other causes or as of unknown cause.
AS the registration area includes
only a small portion of the country
in which pellagra is most prevalent,
1T would seem that many hundreds
and perhaps thousands of deaths
from this disease must occur each
year in the United States. How many
can never be known until systems of
complete registration of deaths are
more generally adopted.

end TO the making of books. especial
ly school books. and the school chill
dren are overburdened with books
and confused by the multiplication Of
the subjects which they are supposed
20 study. Education as practiced to-
day Is on the extensive, rather than
the intensive plan, and the result Is.
as rule. a smattering of a wide
range OF subjects. instead Of a
thorough knowledge OF elemental and
essential facts. 1t seems to be the
aim and purpose of the public school
course Of instructions. with its many
books and diverse subjects. to give
encyclopedia knowledge, instead Of
laying a firm foundation Of elemen-
tails upon which the matured mind
may build as natural ability. time
and opportunity may permit. Too
much instruction. too much educa-
ton. between the ages of six and
sixteen Is as undesirable as too
little. Prof. Hand Is on the right

open and the spacious rooms
were filled with friends who had
to celebrate Mrs. An

Governor of Philippines Would Put

Washington, Dec. 30.-Because 80

non-Christian, savage in their in
stincts, fighting for gain or revenge
with fanatical disregard for death,
and are many years behind the people
Of the northern Philippines in intelli-
gence and general civilization, Col
onel Ralph w. Hoyt, 25th United
States Infantry, governor of the Moro
province, recommends that these is
lands be constituted a separate gov
eminent and the natives relegated to
reservations.
He advocates aggregating the south
ern islands of Mindanao, Sulu archi-
pelago, Palawan and smaller adjacent
islands into one division to be called
the Mindanao plantations. Colonel
Hoyt's recommendations are embraced
in report which he has made to the
war department.
Colonel Hoyt urges government
for these islands similar to the one
now maintained in Moro and the oc
cupation and use of them by the Unit
ed States as coaling stations and q
! naval base.

FAMILY COUGH SYRUP :
Cures Any Cough. In Five Hours.
NEW PRESCRIPTION HERE:

Here is given the most effective
cough prescription known to the
medical world. It is mild laxative,
too, and this is what a body needs
when suffering with cough and cold
on the lungs. A cough or cold indi-
Gates poisons in the system, causing
Inflammation and congestion. Nearly
all cough syrups relieve, but make the
trouble worse by their constipating ef-
fects. This prescription not only re-
lieves quickly, but it cures any cough
that is durable. Get one-half ounce
fluid wild cherry bark, one ounce
compound essence cardiol and three
ounces syrup white pine compound.
Mix in bottle. Take for acute cough
or bronchitis twenty drops every half
hour for four hours. Then one-half to
one teaspoonful three or four times
daily. Give children less according to
age A few hours treatment will cure
ana heal the throat and lungs of all
but consumptives. Cut this out and
give it to some friend who may need
it to be saved from an early death by
consumption.
