Plot of MOrOS Frustrated By
 Loyal Chiefs

Manilia, P. L,-Hauling down the American flag, hoisting the Turkish flag in its place and driving out all American Philippines were parts of an alleged plot by certain Moro datus in Lanao province, Island of Mlndanao, according to a cOmmuni- cation received today by the direc- tor of uon-Christian tribes, whose headquarters is in Manila.
 Alaoya Alonto, who signs himself Sultan of Ramain", makes the charges and the communication is signed by twenty-five other sultans, 24l datus, ten rajahs, one hadji and more than three score other MorOs, who are followers of MOhammedan- ism.
 We Moros are trying to do all we can in learning from our Christ ian Filipino brothers. except the eating of p.gs. which is forbidden by our religion, for we know now that they are far better than We are" writes the Sultan of Ramain. "The agreement of Datu Amai Man abiland with Datu Amai Binaning to do foolishuess caused the death of the latter. We. the young datus of Lanao. will be very glad if all those old datus are killed as they are hindering the progress of our province as well as the whole Phil ippines. The aim of their agree ment was not only 10 drive out the Christian Filipinos but also the Americans. because they want the Turkish flag to be raised over Lanao and the Turks to take the place of Americans and Christian Filipinos."
 The Sultan says the young datus desire the compulsory attendance of public schools should be enforced in Lanao province. notwithstanding the opposition of the old daus who fear that the public school teaching will alienate their girls from the Mo hammedan faith.

THIRTEEN EXCEPTIONAL
 GIRLS TO GET
 UNUSUAL OPPORTUNITY

New York.-Thirteen exceptional Barnard college students have been selected for an educational experi- ment which aims to make of them scholars and specialists in their chosen subjects instead of having them kept at work on the pGescri5- ed courcse witt their 75O less bril- liant sisters.
 Dean Virginia c Gldersleeye, who recently returned after making a study of European university me- thods, announced the new course re- sembliug the honors course oi the English universities. Too much time has been spent in the past on poor students 'and not enough on good ones, she said.
 This plan, she explained, is an effort to avoid some of the faults characteristic of our American col lege system; for example, that of forcing a student tO spend a great deal of her time in class rooms lis 1 tening to lectures and running to and from various college engage ments.
 Tt also attempjs to couuteract the tendency to think of scholar ship in terms of courses, grades and points rather than subjects or fields of knowledge and that unfortunate American tendency to split up ones knowledge into half-yearly frag- ments which are forgotten quickly after the midyear and final exam nations"

4 Little Sound Advice Will Help

A Little Sound Advice Will Help
 Many a Sufferer in skagway
 No woman should consider her self healthy and well If the kidneys are weak. Poisons that pass of in the urine when the kidneys are well are retained in the body when the kidneys are disordered. This Is the true cause of many bearing-down pains, lameness, backache, etc. Uric poisoning also causes headaches, dizzy spells, languor, nervousness and rheumatic pain.
 When suffering so, try Doan's Kid ney Pills. You will get better as the kidneys get better, and health will return when the kidneys are well. Let one who has used Doan's Kidney Pills tell you about them.
 Mrs. J. Malone, 2529 Kulshan St.. Bellingham, Wash, says: "I can hardly describe the misery which I endured from backache. When I washed, it felt as though my back were breaking in two and terrible pains struck me in the small of my back and nearly doubled me up. My Kidneys acked too often and my feet bloated badly. heard about Doan's Kidney Pills, and two boxes drove the pain out of my back and regu- lated my kidneys"
