HER EXPERIENCE
QUITE EXPENSIVE
Gives Out Some Interesting Facts
Regarding Her Troubles, and
How She Avoided Fur
tbt r Expense.
Pineview. Ya.-t Mrs. Cora Brooks,
of this town, writes as follows: "I
suffered for about three years with
womanly trouble, and was getting
worse and worse all the time.
1 had two good doctors and I was
sent to two good hospitals to be oper
ated on, but no operating was done.
All this cost me lots of money, and
1 was no better off than before I
started.
Finally I began to take Cardui, the
woman's tonic. After taking six bot
tles, the pains are all gone, and I feel
like a new woman entirely. I am now
able to do all the housework for my
self. husband and five children, with
ease. Before taking Cardui, I was in
bed seven weeks at a time, not able
to*do anything at all.
I cannot praise Cardui enough for
what it has done for me.”
There are thousands of women who
have been benefited by taking Cardui,
the woman's tonic, and there are thou
sands who are suffering from some
form of womanly trouble- —suffering
for the lack of Cardui.
Are you of this number? If so,
don’t delay, but begin taking Cardui
to-day. What it has done for so many
others, it should surely do for you.

MANILA, SHOW CITY OT
THF nPTTXIT ,
BHERE can be no doubt that Manila is—
at least for Americans—about the most
interesting place in the world. The old
and the new, the obsolete and the ad
vanced, the historic and history in the
making can nowhere be found in more
contrast. The massive and picturesque
walls of the oid Spanish city are fortu
nately intact, though a dozen years ago
many Filipinos would gladly have seen
them banished with the Spanish flag. The unwhole
some mediaeval moat, however, has been tilled up
and turned Into the first Philippine public play
ground. Vast swampy malarial tracts have been
reclaimed and made into parks beautiful with trop
ica] foliage and flowers and every evening enlivened
by the music of good Filipino bands.
Solid waterfronts and valuable building’sites have
also been created. Fine bridges and fine roads have
come into existence as by magic and clean streets
put to shame some of the boasted cities of the Occi
dent. While the climate is a continual summer, the
healthiness of Manila Is now proverbial. It is called
the healthiest city in the Orient, and has been made
so by unremitting care, such as sending inspectors
twice a week to look after conditions, and even in
many private houses to disinfect drains. In parts
of the city still unsewered refuse is carried away in
tight receptacles and burned, receptacles and all
~*(11... . ,
The utilizing of such refuse
for fertilizers is impractic
able as the dreaded amoeba
which lurks in the soil is
stimulated into activity by
impurities.
The “walled city” keeps
its mediaeval character,
though such of its denizens
as cholera, smallpox, leprosy,
plague and fever have been
routed. One delights in the
picturesqueness of the old,
narrow, tortuous streets with
their low, wide spreading
buildings, shut in courtyards
and blind entrances, irregu
lar arches and gables, bal
conies and small barred win
dows, crooked outside stairs
and useless turrets. A mod
ern air is given to some of
the palatial residences by
enclosed gardens, but there
are few, gardens seeming to
have been much less prized
by the Latins than they are
by recent comers. In other
parts of the town most liv
able homes of all grades
have multiplied-apace, open
all around to air, each with
its palm-shaded garden and
its broad verandas draped
with flowering vinos and
hanging ferns and orchids.
In the business streets pre
tentious shops are close
neighbors to Chinese or Jap-
Jte.

anese tiendas looking like nothing but big pack
ing boxes open to the sidewalk, the wares kept
neatly folded on shelves along the sides, while ft
front shelf affords repose for the cigarette-smok
ing proprietor or proprietress when not molested
by custom.
The city’s busy traffic, its air of life and stir
suggest little of the "sweet do nothing” of the
torpid east. Smart automobiles and auto trucks
share right of way with countless one-pony two
wlieel calesas and carts drawn by the wide
horned, small-necked, amphibious caribaos or
water buffaloes.
Then tnen of all classes wear white duck, but
the gay, flowing costumes of the Filipino women
give plenty of color, to say nothing of the pretty
frocks front across the seas.
The water thoroughfares present activities and
contrasts not less striking than those of the land.
The harbor Is often crowded with liners, war ves
sels. transports, cutters, cruisers, sailing ships,
yachts and it, as well as the river and Its canals,
swarms with long, quaint scows, called cascos,
laden with rice or hemp, corn or cocoanuts,
bananas, bread fruit, small green, ripe oranges
and many other fruits and vegetables. There
are fishing craft of a hundred fantastic shapes
and bearing sails of umber or carmine dye.
When it comes to buildings, it Is hard to credit
1901 or thereabout as the date when American
architects and builders first set to work In Man
ila. It would seem that an Aladdin spell must
have helped the work along. In no ill accord
with the old Spanish churches, stands the digni
fied American cathedral, Bishop Brent’s, and
other and simpler churches neither encrcah
upon nor are belittled by churches of the old
order.
The Manila hotel is called the completest and
most artistic hotel of the east. It is young, but
does not show Us age. It will soon celebrate its
second birthday.
There are in Manila five excellent hospitals of
American make, including the Mary Johnson
home and the Tuberculosis hospital in a high
lying suburb. Strange to say, there is as yet no
Insane asylum, a lack, as can easily be under
stood, that often causes peculiar hardship and
suffering.
There are homelike pensions under Methodist
management for girls and for boys who come as
students from the provinces and who would other
wise lead but a makeshift existence. Presbyte
rians and others carry on helpful church activi
ties.

the past eight years, challenges the attention,
study, admiration and imitation of all lands. And
in connection with it should be studied the self
governing penal agricultural settlement on the
Island of Palawan, which has already proved a
notable success.
The army and constabulary quarters are mod
els of their kind. The building of the Young
Men’s Christion association in Manila and the
one at Fort McKinley, donated by Helen Gould,
are perfect in their equipment. There are clubs
aplenty. The stranger asks, What is this or that
fine structure? The answer may be, such or
such a municipal building. Yonder is one for
medical research. That is the headquarters for
public works. There is the plant for the public
water supply, and there is the ice plant.
The Ayuntamiento, the old Spanish capitol
building, is now used for the Philippine assembly
and for the government offices. Its commodious
hall is the center of interest, as it is there that
the laws arc made for the islands and their
finances regulated. Eighty Filipinos form the
assembly, which may be described as correspond
ing to our lower house. The "commission,” which
is at once senate and cabinet, consists of four
men from the islands and five from the states,
including the governor-general and the vice-gov
ernor. Several of these men are heads of de
partments. All bills passed in the assembly must
be ratified by the commission in order to be
come laws. The upper chamber has the power
of veto. But this function is usually exercised
in the less drastic form of laying on the table
questionable measures —and leaving them there.
It goes without saying that as Americans have
charge of things there are schools galore. In
these, throughout the islands, 600.000 pupils are
gathered. Now all schools, including the paro
chial, the Jesuit and those of other religious or
ders, are under government supervision as re
gards the standard of scholarship. The schools
are all embracing, from the university to the
kindergarten, including state, church, mission,
boarding, charity, industrial, trade and normal;
even schools for the blind and the deaf and
dumb and, by no means least, for the training
of nurses.
Manila depends much for its interest and fas
cination upon the native nipa dwellings seen on
every hand. They are scattered, keeping up the
ever present note of contrast, among the modern
houses, or huddled, almost touching each other,
on the poorest lands or lined along miles of road
in suburban barrios. Nipa is a coarse dwarf
palm of which the Filipino makes anything, from
a string or a basket to the house he lives in.
Like all thatched construction the nipa cottage is
wonderfully picturesque. As a rule it is raised
on posts eight or ten feet above the often damp
or marshy ground, and thus affords a shelter for
chickens, goats and even pigs and ponies. When
these cottages are. as is more and more the
case, clean in their surroundings, and have the
shade of cocoanut palms, broad-leaved bananas
or plumy bamboos, with the blaze among them
of a brilliant fire tr ?e or the bloom of a lovely
habiscus, the effect is of a finished picture. This
is heightened at dusk as lights appear inside the
unglazi d windows and tiny gypsy fires are light
ed under the house to cook the "unpolished" rice,
with possibly a bit of cheap fish, for supper. The
pot is often watched by a man and woman, wizen
ed before their time, squatting on their heels,
each smoking the perpetual cigarette. The wom
an is apt to be holding, always tenderly, the
smallest of half a dozen nearly naked children.
The man with no less care fondles a docile but
spurred game cock. Fields for manly sport are
slowly rivaling the cockpit with its ruinous idle
ness and betting. The Filipino women have al
ways shared the passion for gambling with their
men, to the hurt of the family and its earnings.
Many of them are now learning embroidery. They
do it well and find it even more interesting than
cock fights or cards or craps.
A visitor is lucky who comes upon one of the
tidier cottages and espies a youth with scarlet
trousers and bare bronze torso tumming a sort of
guitar for the benefit of a nut-brown maid at
the window above the stilts. She has delicate
features and bright eyes and a long and strikingly
graceful neck, and a mass of smooth, glossy, jet
black hair hangs below- her waist over her gay
balloon-sleeved bodice and folded panuelo, or ker
chief. dne waits, half expecting to see a chorus
emerge from the flowery background and break
into dance or song. Rut, alack! such romantic
illusions are rare and fleeting. The reality that
stays is homely and hard and sometimes tragic.
Manila is beautiful for situation. The bay to
the west is as blue as the Mediterranean and the
splendor of the sunsets is beyond telling. Some
times nothing is to be seen but luminous sky and
water. Then of a sudden there appear as if just
created the scalloped hills of the distant coast
beyond the long low peninsula of Cavite, for
merly, and still to some extent, used as a naval
station. The fortified island of Corregidor, soft
and dim on the horizon, stands in reality a verit
able armed Titan to guard the narrow entrance of
the vast bay. Close beside it the lovely moun
tain of Maribeles suggests an earthly paradise,
but in fact it is the unfriendly abode of the Ne
gritos, a race resembling the pigmies of Africa.
Beyond on other shores and on other islands
of the vast Philippine archipelago are other races
unclaimed, untamed, unchristian. Among them,
most dreaded by foreigners and natives, are the
fanatical, treacherous, fierce Mohammedan Moros.
As we look at the work in Manila and through
out the Philippines during the last ten years we
feel that America has made here its finest mark
—the finest and fairest, it is not too much to say,
made by any western people in any eastern col
ony. But it has not done enough. Nor would it
have done enough if the material benefits be
stowed were immeasurably greater. Altruism
has still its most potent part to play, its most
immitigable demands to meet. There is need of
more American missionaries, wise, consecrated,
tactful. There are such men and women already
at work in the provinces—teachers, doctors, in
structors in manual industry and in farming—
uplift workers, who are at the same time evange
lists. And there are those who give themselves
wholly to preaching and to pastoral work. Of all
this service it would be a joy to tell if space
allowed. But we owe a far larger ministry to
bodies and minds, and above all to souls that
consciously or unconsciously are feeling after God
if haply they may find him.
