Big Bird From Cebu Held by

Mountain Climbing and Watch.

New York.-Piloted up the bay by
an immense American eagle, the
steamship Pathan closed two
months trip from Cebu, in the Philip
pine islands. The eagle has a double
claim to the title American. Its ma
tive eyrie in the mountains Of Cebu

bird itself will make its permanent

After nearly two weeks of arduous
mountain climbing and untiring
watchfulness, the bird was trailed to

PROGRESS IN GREAT BRITAIN
Brief but Striking Summary Of Tenn
perance Work In England During
Past Ten Years.

A brief but striking summary Of the
last ten years advance of the tenn
perance cause In Great Britain forms
part of an interesting article entitled
The Outlook" published recently in
one OF the foremost organs Of the
temperance cause in England. The
facts are forcibly summarized In the
following paragraphs:
The decade which has Just closed
"ill always be memorable for the
enormous advances which the TEN.
perance movement has made in every
'art OF the civilized world 1t is al.
Ways difficult to estimate progress in
any political or moral agitation As
the seaman can judge Of the strength
and direction of a current only by
liking his eye on some remote or sta.
tionary object and observing its ap.
proach or recession, so on the broad
ocean of public opinion a judgment of
the power Of the current which is
floating forward the temperance
question can be formed only by noting
the landmarks which have been pass
ed or the rapidity with which others
are being approached
THE greatness OF that advance in
the United Kingdom is indicated,
though by no means measured, by the
marked reduction in the consumption
OF and expenditure on drink which
has taken place. Between December,
1899, and December, 1909, there has
been fall in annual consumption Of
over 100000 barrels of beer and
over 100000 gallons of spirits. and
there has been a drop in the annual
expenditure during the same period
of no less than 100000 1000.
This, however is not the full meas.
ure OF the real advance. During the
past ten years the national attiI de to
the liquor evil has greatly changed,
and nowhere more remarkably than
among the working classes, a result
largely due to the splendid lead"
given by their leaders on this ques.
tion.
Social reformers of every school
are now realizing that behind all the
abuses which they are attacking
stands the great ally of every social
evil which curses the land-the liquor
traffic. Educationists have learned at
last that IT is idle to attempt to edu.
cate the child and leave him unwarned
against drug which is the most po.
tent destroyer of physical, mental,
and moral control. and the testimony
OF the medical profession against al
cohol grows louder and more united
every year
In the realm Of political activity
the advance has been great In Jan
uary, 1911. there was in power a gov.
ernment which was content to be the
servant Of the liquor trade. In Janu.
airy, 1911, government holds Office
which has shaken itself free from
the Trade which has dared to defy
the Trade and yet today is in
power by the peoples will with
great majority-a government elected
by the people with full knowledge
that temperance legislation of an ad
vanced kind will be among the first
fruits OF the legislative harvest.

REASONED IT OUT
And Found a Change In Food Put
Him Right.

A man does not count as wasted the
time he spends in thinking over his
business, bat he seems 10th to give
the same sort OF careful attention to
himself and TO his health. And yet
his business would be worth little
without good health to care for IT. A
business man tells how he did him
self good by carefully thinking over
his physical condition, investigating To
find out what was needed. and then
changing to the right food.
For some years | had been bother
ed great deal after meals. My food
seemed TO lay like lead In my stomach,
producing heaviness and dullness and
sometimes positive pain. OF course
this rendered me more or less UNFIT
for business, and made up my mind
that something would have to be done.
Reflection led me to the conclusion
that overeating, filling the stomach
with indigestible food, was responsible
for many of the ills that human flesh
endures, and that | was Furnishing
myself In that way--that was what
was making me so dull, heavy and un-
comfortable. and unfit for business
