Rheumatism Has Never Been Cured by Liniments or Lo-
 tions, and Never Will Be.

You never knew of Rheumatism-tha most painful source of suffering being cured by liniments, lotions or other ex- ternal applications. And you will never see anything but temporary relief af- forded by such makeshifts.
 But why be satisfied with temporary relief from the pangs of pain which are sure to return with increased severity, when there is permanent relief within your reach? Science has proven that Rheumatism is disoTdered condition of the blood. How then, can satisfactory

 For forty years it has been the stand ard remedy for female ills, and has re- stored the health of thousands of women who now are free from suffering by it's use.

gubernatoria candidates to refrain from any active
participation in the Hennepin county convention

nice but Chairman Coleman might just as we'll save

to investigate scouting and found it to
be not at all what I had thought,

good and useful things. Still l did
not tell him that he might join.
"A few days later he came to me
third time and said: Dad, why don't
you want me to join the boy scouts?
Then I said to him: "Son, didn't want
you to join the scouts, but I have made
an investigation and if you will prom

snce. The stable government II now

u an undisputed fact.
The o6iciai representative Of the
United States in the Philippine Islands,
the Governor General, reported to the
American Congress and the administra-
tion that the Filipino people have e.
tablished the stable government de-
manded BY Congress as prerequisite
for the granting Of independence
namely, a government elected by the
suffrage Of the people, which is sup
ported by the people, which is capable
Of maintaining order and Of fulfilling
it's International obligations"
The Philippine question is therefore
NO longer question of politics, argu-
ment or superstition. To the Philip
pine mind. ut least, 1t is now ques-
ton of whether the United States is
ready to discharge it's own obligations
fully and completely. America went
before the world in the recent war as
the avowed champion If "self-determi-
nation" and Filipinos cannot see how
America can consistently refuse to act
The Filipino people, however have
no grudge or grievance against the
American people. Theirs is message
of friendship and gratitude. They seek
independence as the natural and log
ical outcome of Americas policy in
the islands and of Americas solemn
promise to them. They come willing
to give privileges and concessions not
Incompatible with their national well
fare.
The Filipino people are willing to
accept independence under any of the
following conditions: Under League
of Nations, guaranteeing it's territorial
integrity; under the protectorateship
of the United States for the first few
years: under a treaty of neutrality be-
tween the United States, England, ia
pan, France and other powers, or even
without any condition whatever-abso-
lutte and complete independence. They
have no fear Of Japan. Philippine in
dependence, in our opinion, is not inim-
ical to Japanese interests. The Japa-
nese are now free to come to the Phil
ippines, but at the present time there
are less than 10000 Japanese in the
islands. There are six times as many
Japanese in California as there are in
the entire Philippine Archipelago.
The Bilipinos are willing to take
their chance ~ a nation. Smaller ma
lions beset BY graver problems and
dangers have taken q more hazardous
chance at freedom, and have sue
