CUBANS nr NIED •
The Sick Need Food, and the Well
Need Fitfkncei-
Washington, Dec. 23.—R 8. How
land, of Providence, has just returned
from a visit U> Cuba, made, for the pur
pose of studying the problems of bow
to feed the starving people of the is
land and how to sanitate the cities and
towns. He talked with several sena
tors and representatives today and
will have a conference with Preeident
McKinley and army officers. He says:
"There are three eourcee to be drawn
upon to give aid to suffering Cabans.
First, we have the government; sec
ond, the organisation of tbe Red Cross
and third, the different charitable re
lief associations in all tbe large cities
of the United States. It is extremely
desirable that these three forms of re
lief should be harmonized and brought
together to act under the central con
trol, and it would seem as if the presi
dent might appoint some high officer
from the retired list of tbe army or
some well known public man who
could have at once tbe support and'
assistance of all tbe departments of
the government and all the different
channels of private charity.
“Tbe Cubans themselves hope even
tually to be free and independent un
der tbe protection of their powerful
neighbor, but first of all their widows
and orphans, their sick And helpless,
must be assisted, and that they know
is precedent to any political settle
ment. If they saw this work of relief
going on steadily, both by the govern
ment and by individuals of the United
States they would keep quiet regard
ing any political questions that might
arise from time to time. This would
avoid the necessity of any large garri
son of troops and would eventually
save a great outlay of money on tbe
part of this government.
“Tbe immediate necessity for the
military authorities who wilt be in
charge after Jan. 1 to clean up tbe
city and abate tbe innumerable nui
sances which now exist there ie also
going to interfere for s time with tbe
extension of new schemes of a com
mercial nature. It would not do, for
instance, to bring a large force of la
borers into Havana and house them
io any of the buildings now existing
in the city. During the time that
these sanitary measures are going on
tbe poor who are now without work
must continue in their forlorn condi
tion, and must be furnished with ra
tions, either by tbe government or
private charity, as may prove most
pract’cable. It has been suggested
that this form of relief would tend to
pauperize tbe whole population, but it
is difficult to see how such risk can be
avoided. Those who are in the last
stages of want and destitution can
hardly be still further pauperize.”
The Modern Mother
Has found that her little ones are improv
ed more by the pleasant Syrup of Figs
when in need of the laxative effect of a
gentle remedy than by any other, and that
it is more acceptable to them. Children
enjoy it and it benefits them. The true
remedy, Syrup of Figs, is manufactured by
the California Fig Syrup Company only.

Enormous Pension Fignrer.
Io the year 1879, fourteen years af
ter the civil war, the number of pens
sions on the pension roll was 642,755,
and tbe amount paid them in that
year was a little less than $34,000,000,
Last year—nineteen years later and
tbirty-three years after tbe war—the
number of pensions was 993,714, and
the sum paid them was a little less
than 1145,000,000. The total number
of men furnished to the Union army
by the states during the entire war
was 2,778,304 We are, therefore,
paying pensions today to an army
more than one-third of the total
number of men under the flag during
the four years of the war, and of these
three-fourths have become pensioners
within the last twenty years. It is
tbe most amazing record tho modern
world has ever seen —New York

Americans Rush too Hard-
In the January Ladies* Home Jour
i nal Edward Bok deplores tbe sense of
rush that has taken possession of the
American women, and emphasizes the
dangers arising from thia condition of
unrest “Take our family life today,”
he says. “Look around one's own
family circle, look into its life, look
into tbe families we know, and tell me
if I am to far wrong when I say what
our American families need more than
anything else is more time with each
other; more drawing together; more
momenta of being alone with each
other; a greater extraction of peace
and comfort from those material sur
roundings which each so earnestly
strives foi, and all are too much satis
fied to strive for simply to possess, and
nothing more. We are all too much
in a hurry in America to allow of our
knowing and enjoying each other; our
lives are too full with things which
ought to be secondary and which we
have allowed to dominate us.
We are all too busy ; men and wom
en, girls and boys—all of us. We are
not getting the rich beauties out of
life; the greatest enjoyments out of
living. Rush and haste are 100 much
upon us. The sweet balm of peace and
quiet is an unknown delight to thou
sands of people And much of tbe
cause, disagreeable as it is to say ao,
lies with our women who have of late
allowed their lives to become too full.
I will not say they have neglected, to
any alarming extent, the fundamental
duties of wifehood and motherhood.
But I do say that the danger of doing
so in tbe very near future exists, in
many instances, if things are allowed
to go on as they have gone.”
Discovered, by a Woman.
Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country. “Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years she with
stood its severest tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed incessantly, and could
not sleep. She finally discovered a
way to recovery, by purchasing of us a
bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Consumption, and was so much reliev
ed on taking first dose, that she slept
all night; and with two bottle has been
absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs.
Luther Lutz.’ Thus writes W. C.

The Grip Epidemic.
- There is an epidemic of grip through
if out the country, and the situation is
f* becoming alarming.
e In view of the spread of the diaeaM
t it is well to know what precautions to
” take, and a prominent New York phy
i eician has made public a timely state
t tn ent as to the premonitory symptoms
eof grip. These syptnptom are
t a distinct chill or chilly (sensation*,
i followed by an elevation of tempera
i turn from 101 to 103 Fahrenheit; pain
b io the bead, headache, pain in the
i limbs and back, aching all over the
9 body, meatal depression, loss of appe-
• tite and muscular weakness, often
f accompanied by a hard cough with
- little expectoration.
1 His statement embraces the follow
r ing important questions and answers:
r How may one be sure it is real grip
r that has attacked him?
r Tbe continuance of these symptoms
» without local inflammation to accoant
for*them practically insures the na-
• tore of the disease.
9 What should one take to neutralize
f tbe attack?
f Consult a good physician at once,
i Different cases require different treat
-1 ment. There is no specific for grip.
. How may one tell whether the at
-9 tack is severe enough to make it nec
, essary to go to bed, or only stay in
9 doors?
. Ask the advice of your physician
> before venturing out.
1 What will be tbe symptoms when it
. is safe for one who has bad tbe gripjtd
; venture out again?
i Return of appetite, freedom from
fever and pain; relief from mental
difussion; general return of normal
condition.
i How may one guard against tbe
’ dangers of relapse daring the three
; week’s period of convalescence?
> Your physician must instruct you ;
I different conditions require different
i precautions.
What precautions should be taken
i when one member of the family has
i tbe grip to prevent tbe others being
infected?
. Do not allow members of the famk
i ly to go near the patient unless abso
. lately necessary. Ventilate tbe sick
• room; cbango the air as often as pos
[ eible.
