POLICY IN PHILIPPINES
Hughes Declares America Cannot A.
ford to Lose Sight Of National
Obligation.

Portland, Ore, Aug. IS. - Charles
e. Hughes, before large audience in
the ice rink here, assaulted the Demo
cratic party for it's policy toward the
Philippines.
1--WE can not afford in this country
to lose sight of national obligations"
Mr.. Hughes said. Our friends on the
other side were almost ready to say
that we should abandon the Philip
pines. That was matter of national
honor. We assumed obligations there.
which we are bound to discharge.
1T is not much a matter Of self-in-
terest. But when this nation UNI
dertakes before the world response
bility, it must discharge 1t.
And we ought not to consider the
suggestion Of scuttling out Of the
Philippines to leave them in the pre-
dicament which you know perfectly
we'll without my describing it.

Some mystery exists as to the sit

Girls With Beautiful Faces Or
Graceful Figures.

American girls have a worldwide
reputation for beauty, but, at the same
time, there are girls In Pennsylvania
who possess neither beauty of face nor
form because in these instances they
suffer from nervousness, the result OF
disorders of the womanly organism.
AT regular intervals they suffer so
much that their strength leaves them |;
they are 30 prostrated that it takes
days for them to recover their strength.
OF course, such periodic distress has
its bad effect on the nervous system.
The withered and drawn faces, the
dark circles and crows feet about the
eyes, the straight figure without those
curves which lend so much to feminine
beauty are the unmistakable signs Of
womanly disorders.
