Straight Road To Health

Is by the way of purifying the blood. Germs and impurities in the blood cause disease and sickness. Expelling these impurities re­moves the disease. Hood’s Sarsaparilla does this and it does more. I t makes the blood rich by increasing and vitalizing the red globules and giving it power to transmit to the organs, nerves and muscles the nu tr i­ment contained in digested food.

LETTER FROM FRANK 8P1ECHER.

L u cba n , L u z o n , P . I ., Apr. 17, 1000. K. L V an Al s t o n s , Chatsworth, 111

—Dear Brother:—As I have a little spare time this morning 1 thought I would writo you a few lines The in­surgents are giving us a short rest at present. This is the beginning of the rice harvest, and as rice is the principal

Eroduot here it will take some time to arvest it all. This is the dry season

on this end of the island. The rainy •eason begins here in J u n e and lasts about five months. The Spanish prison­ers tell us that they heard the “ gugo captain tell the men not to fire on the “ A mericano" until after the rice harvest is over, as they do not wish to be mo­lested while a t work, but after harvest to commence the same old gorilla war fare. I hope some of the “ pipes" I hear are true, and that we will be moved to Manila or some place where we w on’t have to do so much “ hiking." I think we have the nicest city to garrison on the island The natives have returned and settled down to their different avo cations They manufacture hats, the work all being done by hand. We can buy a tine hat here for half a dollar The same hat in the states would cost at least three or four dollars. We are allowed to wear them when off duty, or fatigue. I will explain what this manila fiber is: It is the same material that the manila rope and twine is made of, only much finer. It is the inside bark of the banana tree. The natives strip it off in broad strips, then card it out and dry it and it is then ready for use. Our city has a t present about seven thousand inhabitants, among them being insur­gents who will again tight us as soon as " the ball opens,” but who are now pos­ing as “ Amegos" and enjoy the same liberty and protection as other law-abid­ing citizens. T ha t little piece of poetry I sent you with my last letter will ex­plain the “ gugo” better than I can. I suppose you have beard or read about the beno, which is an intoxicating bev­erage. It is a rank wine m ade from the cocoanut. It is nearly pure alcohol, of a poor but strong quality. I t is causing much trouble am ong the soldiers, as the effect of drinking it causes them to be­come temporarily insane, and beno is the cause of many deaths The insur­gent, under the guise of the “ A m ego” or friend, always has it handy. There are strict orders against its sale here and all that can be found is confiscated And destroyed, and the Filipino is promptly arrested. We bear and read a good deal of criticism on the military authorities here for allowing the dese­cration of churches by us soldiers. We are tired of that. I would like to have something to say on the subject. In every town on the island of Luzon there is a large stone or adobe building called a church. It would do some of the re ­ligiously inclined people of the states, who are crying “ stop the desecration of the churches of Luzon,” good to attend the ceremonies at some of the churches we met with while with the flying col­umn. The greeting we got from a church in an insurgent town was bul­lets, the service, battle tactics. In Lu­zon the churches have been used by the insurgents for fortifications, and strong ones they are. The windows in some are closed with masonry and loop-holed. Big stores of ammunition have been found under the altars and in o ther places in the churches. I think, under these conditions, they have ceased to be churches, and are fortifications for the enemy. And is it a sin to nllow the worn-out soldier to enter them, clean them up and use them as a shelter from the heat and rain? I have never seen a church in good condition, and which had not been used by the insurgents, the padre presen t and the place sliil devot­ed to religious worship, used to quar te r the men, and such a church is never desecrated by our presence, but is p ro­tected by a guard. I speak from ex

¥erience and personal observation.here is another thing which I would

like to mention, and that is the false ac counts of conditions here written by correspondents. They hear rum ors of a battle and then watch the Manila papers (which, by the way, are not reliable), t r y to g e t in fo rm ation from some o n e not in authority and then write long articles about bow the “ poor Filipino’’ is treated. I came over here with the “ poor Filipino” idea in my head. I was put on the firing line and saw the Fili­pino in his true light; it is “ d----- n nig

g a m b o a n d t h e F r e s h m a n .An American writer tells a good story of

his college days. It relates to a negro gar­dener, a jolly fellow, with whom the boys used to have considerable sport. Sometimes ke would floor them with his repartee.

One day in spring Sambo had been burning the college green in order to get rid of the old withered grass. A freshman came along, and, thinking to have aome fun, shouted:

“Say, there. Sambo, you ought not to burn that atuff.”

“Why?” inquired Sambo.“ Because^” replied the freshman, “ it'll

make that grass as black as you are.”“Well, maasa,” retorted Sambo, “ dat’sall

right. Yes, dat’s all right. Never you fear; dat ’ere grass’ll come up and be as green aa fou are!”—London Answers.

BILE BLOATPuffs under the eyes; red nose; pimple-

blotched, greasy face don't mean hard drink­ing always as much as it shows that there is BILE IN THE BLOOD. It is true, drink­ing and over-eating overloads the stomach, but failure to assist nature in regularly dis­posing of the partially digested lumps of food that are dumped into the bowels and allowed to rot there, is what causes all the trouble. CASCARETS will help nature help you, and will keep the system from filling with poisons, will clean out the sores that tell of the sys­tem’s rottenness. Bloated by bile the figure becomes unshapely, the breath foul, eyes and skin yellow; in fact the whole body kind of fills up with filth. Every time you neglect to help nature you lay the foundation tor just such troubles. CASCARETS will carry the poisons out of the system and will regulate

you naturally and easily and without gripe or pain. Start to-night—one tablet—keep it up for a week and help the liver clean up the bowels, and you will feel right, your blood will be rich, face look clean, eyes bright. Get a iOc box of CASCARETS, take as directed. If you are not cured or satisfied you get your money back. Bile bloat is quickly and permanently
