Climate Failed
Medicine Cured

It has been absolutely shown that rest, fresh
air and good food do help many persons suffer
ing from tuberculosis; but. to be really honest
it must be admitted that the disease is seldom
needed.
Eckman's Alternative is a medicine made fol
the cure Of tuberculosis. It has cured this dis
ease again and again. Often these cures have
been effected where the surroundings were moi
ideal, where no intelligent care was taken OF
the patient, where money was scarce, good food
and good cooking unusual, yet cures resulted.
Now, We argue and urge that Eckman's Altefa.
tive should be used in every case Of tuberculosis
in addition to good. nourishing food and fresh
air, which we all need.
The facts-the evidence Of cures that have been
made-are interesting reading. remarkable

Expresses His Contempt.

This thing of world powering have a
contempt for. / have a contempt for any
body. individual or nation. who does not
go along and attend to his own business
and let other people alone. have just as
great a contempt for the white mans
undertaking to rule the brown man In the
brown mans country as / have for any
sort of legislation looking toward making
the brown or the black man rule the
white man in the white mans country.
What have you done as a result of
this world powering? Have you increased
your military strength? No.. you have
decreased 1t. What sort Of a game OF
chess are you playing? Before that you
had all your men in line and you could
make whatever gambit move you pleased.
Now you have subordinated your entire
game to a pawn called the Philippine
archipelago and another pawn away out
In front of your men and beyond support
by them called the Hawaiian Islands.
You have not added to your strength a
particle You have added to your weak
ness. No possession that you took has
added to your strength except Porto Rico.
That does. to a certain extent. do away
with the necessity of quite SO large a
fleet in defense Of the American Medi-
terranean. and what hold you have on
naval stations In Cuba. to a large extent,

World Power idea Condemned.

Senator Williams maintained that this
increase in expenditures could not be
blamed to pensions, because the ratio Of
expenditures for pensions has decreased
since 1869 from $4.32 per capita to 1892.
1T is nearly altogether due" he said.
Ito legislative executive and army and
navy expenses, and the excuse made for
so much Of them as grow out Of the army
and navy is that we went a-world-pow-
ering here a few years ago: that we
are very proud of having gone a-world-
powering, and that now for the first time
in our existence, we are world power.
We are no more of q world power now
than We were before the Spanish-Ameri-
can war began. We may have little bit
higher reputation as a world power among
some ignorant people somewhere. but not
among intelligent people. We went out
into q war with poor, old decrepit Spain,
ready to totter and fall at any moment
II pushed. All that was necessary was to
meet her, either on land or on sea. and
she would shrivel, because there was no
power, no strength behind her nor In her.
Nobody who has any sense has ever con-
sidered the federal government Of the
United States or the people of the United
States any stronger in a military or naval
sense because they whipped Spain. The
state of New York could have done 1t by
itself and unassisted, SO far as that Is
concerned: and think If Texas had been
allowed a free sweep at 1t she would have
made a vary good fight.
