HEALTHIER IN PHILIPPINES.
Conditions Better Than Any Time in
Last Ten Years.

The general health of the Philippines is
much better now than it has been for ten
years, and officials of the marine hospital
service declare if the satisfactory condi-
tions can be continued a little longer the
possibility of another serious outbreak of
disease will be practically eliminated.
Grave fears are expressed. however. that
the islands are menaced by the plague
now at Shanghai, and the frequent out
breaks of plague and cholera in Japan.
The shortage of the rice crop in the
Philippines will increase the number of
rice ships to arrive from Indo-China and
Siam. All officials of the service in the
Philippines therefore. have been ordered
to exercise vigilance against the introduce
ton of quarantinable diseases.
There has been no plague in the Philip
pines i'm more than three years. Cholera
Is known 70 exist only in isolated cases.
and there is less beri-beri, malaria and
intestinal disease than ever.

ity report from the Senate commit
tee on post offices and post roads oppos-
ing the amendment to the post Office APP
preparation bill by which it is proposed to
raise the second-class mailing rates on
the advertising sections of magazines He
takes the position that the amendment is
unconstitutional on the ground that it is
a proposition to raise revenue and can
be originated only in the House of Repre-

Separate and apart from his belief that
the amendment violates the Constitution
and the rules of the Senate. Senator
Owen says he regards the proposed Iegis-

IRRIGATION ENTERPRISES

Il also wish to say a word about
legitimate irrigation enterprises. 1t is
important for us that, whenever land Is
sold. the people coming to this coun-
try and making home with us should
succeed. On every side stream, we are
building reservoirs, and the people who
are going to spend their money and
locate are the people who are going to
lose. 1t is an injustice to the rest
of the country and to good bitches and
valid enterprises. Take one scheme. for
instance, people We're run in there and
settled on that land before the bitches
or reservoirs were completed, and they
failed We had the same experince In
