Lost lu Ju<; take your choice. An attack of Fever at this time of year, with Quinine as the treat ment, means a week or ten days lost from Busi ness. It means ten days of unhappiness for you and ten days of har’d work and anxiety for tliose who love you. Tliis is putting it in its very happiest asjiect. It might mean your death, and it often means a breakdown in general health from which some recujierate very slowly. If you aro a rich man • your time is wortli much to your estate.

The rich mail might better alTm-d to suffer a loss of §100.00 a day, as a result from en forced absence from business than the jioor man can lose the value of his labor. Both men rich or poor-are stupid to lose 10 days when >1 to 48 hours is lie limit of time required to put them ill good condition by Johnson's Chill and l ever Ionic. I always feel sorry for the family that is wedded to the plan of subjecting themselves to the Quinine treatment. The process is slow. The result uncertain. The treatment disappointing. Johnson m romc has two cardinal points that should immediately commend it to every thinking man in this country. First of all, it is harmless. Absolutely harmless. Harmless under all cir- cumstauces. Second, it is quick; it acts at once. In 30 minutes after its administration, it enters the blood and begins to undo the mischief caused by Malaria. It has a .wonderful record of 17 years of success. 990 cases out of every 1000 are promptly cured, and the 1000th case can be easily cured by doubling the dose and taking it a little oftener. Johnson’s Tonic is a wonderful medicine. It is not mere merchandise. It Is superb. No remedy in the whole domain of Materia Medira is more positive in its action and unfailing in its results. It will cure. It will cure every time. It will cure every case of Fever. It will cure any type of fever. It is the one great medicine that seldom disappoints. Don’t trifle with Fever. If allowed to run, it is like a house allowed to burn—it will consume vou. Use Johnson’s Tonic. Use nothing else. Now, take your choice. Lie in bed for days, or maybe weeks, and poison your digestion with Quinine, and arise finally with all the life and vim taken out of you, or use Johnson’s Tonic and he restored at once to perfect health. No loss of vital force. No loss of flesh. No waste of precious time. Take your choice t A. 13. GIRARDEAU, Savannah, Ga. Where Do You But ?

Burt, retired, who has recently at rived from the Philippines has a'plan rived from the Philippines, has a plan lent. He believes he has arrived to conclusion that will ultimately be ac cepted by the administration and the country at large as the only solution. "Turn them over to the Japanese, said the general. "Let them hav them on the Installment plan, for tho consideration, say, of $150,000,000. Out government does not need the money in a lump sum, and making a proposition of that kind we can dictate as to coul ing stations and make such reserves as are thought to he best for trade tcrcsts. An arrangement of that kind can be effected tlmt will give the Unit etl States as broad a road into the mar kets of the Orient as if we retained the Islands, besides we will be making strong allies of two nations that will represent their interests on that side of the globe without the necessity ot the presence of a largo army at an enor. mous cost.” HOTEL AT DALLAS COLAPSES.

The first news of tho renewed Ill ness of the king came from the house of commons, where various court offi cials gave an Intimation that the ar rangements for Thursday would better be suspended forthwith, as the corona, tlon would be postponed Indefinitely on account of the Indisposition of his majesty. Causes Great Consternation. The sudden announcement of the postponement of the coronation, just on the eve of the ceremony, caused the utmost consternation everywhere. Tho^news spread like wildfire. The tens of thousands of occupants of the streets suddenly stood still under the sudden shock and gazed at one an other in silent dread of what mlgat come next. On Saturday and Sunday, society was discussing the reports ot the king’s Illness, and though the clrcum* stanclallty, detail and sources from which they came precluded entire dis belief, there was a disposition to doubt the stories, and when the posi tive categorical denial was officially issued, they were dismissed as being unfounded. Hemorrolds, apoplexy and lumbago were a few of the king’s maladies dis cussed In the clubs and drawingrooms, and those discussing them recalled tho stories of the king even recently re iterated hts belief that he would never be crowned. On the stock exchange the effect of the startling news was Immediate. Prices weakened, led by consols, by a fall of H a point. It Is privately admitted that his majesty’s condition is more serious than represented by the medical bul letin, His majesty, under ordnlary condi tions, was not looked upon as a goo I subject for operations, and though the king" passed successfully through the ordeal, It is believed that four weeks must elapse before he will be.able to undergo the arduous labors of the cor- onatlon ceremonial. Therefore no dale can yet be indicated for carrying out the coronation. Official Announcement Made. Official announcements of the klng 1 serious Illness were made to public bodies as speedily as possible.-)- Word was sent to the house of commons arpl Chamberlalnc , Lord King Expresses Regret. "The Earl Marshal has received I king’s commands to express bis majes. ty’s deep sorrow that, owing to his serious Illness, the coronation cere mony must be postponed. -The cele brations In London In conaequneoe will be likewise postponed, but It Is the king’s earnest hope that the cele brations In the country shall be held as already arranged.” The king’ also expressed to the lord mayor his desire that his majesty's dinner to the poor of London be not postponed. . Nothing hns yet been decided re garding tho movements of the foreign guests. . The first intimation which Whltclaw, Reid, the special ambassa dor cf the United States to the coro nation, heard that anything was wrong was contained In a qommunlca- tlon cancelling t£e state banquet which was to be held at Rue'.Ingham palaro. Outside of Bucklnghaiit palace enor-. mous Huongs of people congregated slneo early morning for the purpose of witnessing the arrival of the spe cial ambassadors v.ho wero to bo re ceived by the king and queen today. Largo numbers of foreign represen tatives actually arrived, but the short ness of their stay was noted. Inquiries were made and neon the news of his majesty’s serious slate of health was circulated among the awaiting thou sands. At the various palaces and hotels, where the foreign representatives aro staying, the news created the greatest dismay, • Royal carriages were already drawn up In readiness to take the guests to the reception at the palace, but the moment the "tickers” announced his majesty's Illness, all the preparations for the day ceased. , Traffic Paralyzed. On the streets the change which came over the crowds was most pro- nounced. Traffic seemed paralyzed and It was long before the full effect of tho startling intelligence was felt. The streets, as the day wore on, be came more and more congested, anl the holiday crowd concentrated Into groups reading and re-reading the ex tras. Most of the people seem'Ingiy felt dazed, and scarcely appreciated the full Import of what they read. Work on the stands erected on all sides to enable people to view the coronation procession was gradually discontinued. The lord mayor has instructed the workmen to demolish the stands In front of the mansion house. Those la Piccadilly will be taken down tomor row. acting Lord , Churchill, personally delivered'to the mansion house, ’ the official residence of lord mayor, a message, regarding his majesty’s Illness and at the morn ing’s rehearsal of the coronation tare, mony In Westminster Abbey the bish op of London, the RL Rev.

The bishop requested the congrega tion to Join In the litany out of the coronation service and pray for the recovery of the king. During the afternoon the Earl Mar shall, duke of Norfolk, Issued the fol lowing notice: DR. CYRU8 ED80N TALK8. Explains Nature of King's Illness and the Operation. New York, June 24.—Dr. Cyrus E.I- son explained tho king’s Illness and the operation as follows: "Perltyphlytls Is Inflammation Includ ing the formation of an abscess of the tissues around the vermiform appendix and hence perltyphlytls Is hard to dls- tlnguish at once from appendicitis. Usually an operation Is necessary to ascertain whether the appendix or the surrounding ttssuo Is diseased. In tho king's case there Is probably an ab scess at tho head of the large Intestine, where the appendix begins, and the op eration today was an Immediate 'ne cessity because tho abscess had to be gotten at and emptied of Its contents and pus. Under ordinary circum stances the king ought to recover In three or four weeks, but after recovery It would, perhaps, be four weeks more before he would be able to perform his part In the coronation ceremony. “The king’s trouble Is In his right side low down.” Washington Is Notified.
