A pretty f?.ea is almost p
impossible when Headache or Neuralgia is p
prosent. Beauty Is really the happy expres- p
alon that comes to the face when there is P
no pain. In a remarkably large number of ?
eases the absence of beauty is caused by the P
presence of Headache. Stop the ache, and P
beauty returns. E

THE DALTON ARGUS, SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1899.
FROM THE WAR.
! Ed M. King, A Former Daltonian,
Writes from the Phillippines.
1 To The Argus:
110-110, P. I. June 1, ’99.—ln re
[ gponse to inquiries from your sec
i tion of the country, I have written
i to private parties in regard to the
[ Philippines as I have seen them, and
' thinking perhaps there are others
! that would be interested, I will un
i dertake to give your valuable paper
1 some items of probable interest to
! its readers.
The Philippines are a group of Is
-1 lands lying off the coast of Asia, and
! are some 1,200 in number, of more or
less area. Quite a number are
densely inhabited, fertile and
rich in mineral resources, while
others are of volcanic origin, unin
habitated and barren.
Luzon and Mindanas are the
largest of the group and are said by
those who have investigated to be
possessed of fine natural resources.
Hardwoods, bamboo, cocoa, gold and
coal are among the resources of the
islands, while rice, Indian corn,
tobacco, sugar and hemp are raised
in abundance.
The manual labor is performed by
natives and Chinamen for the most
part, who work with a great deal ot
chatter, and often with very primi
tive tools. Where the proper tool is
lacking, the substitute is sometimes
very ingenius. It is to be hoped
that the advent of American enter
prise will in time change the slow
and cumbersome processes of the
present. Lumber is sawed by hand
as our forefathers did in the early
days of our country’s history, only
the saw is run from side to side in
stead of up and down. The logs are
sawed or cut in the woods, hewn
square, one end brought to the shape
of a sledge runner, a hole bored in
the same and draggedf or snaked, as
the American lumbermen would
call it) to a running stream, where
they are floated to the place desired.
They are then loaded on bull carts,
or carried on the shoulders of men
by means of slings, to the place
where they are to be used. If a
house is to be built, they are carried
to the spot and there the hill of lum
ber is sawed. It takes a long time
to build a house of any kind in this
country, the workmen are so slow,
and if a house is to be of any pre
tensions whatever, a great deal of
fancy work is to be done, by hand at
that. They are nearly all two stories
—the first story being built of con
crete or rubble and the second story
is of wood—l am speaking of the bet
ter class of houses. The native huts
are mostly built of bamboo, and cov
ered with a species of palm leaf.
Ordinarily the sides are composed of
the same material. Very often these
are not bad looking. A flat trans
parent shell is used in the place of
glass, which serves the double pur
pose of letting in light and keeping
out the blinding glare of this tropi
cal sun. Space and time forbids a
detailed account of any one thing, so
we will hurry on to the considera
tion of other matters.
Hemp is one of the most important
products of the island, and from it is
made tlie celebrated Manila rope and
cordage. 1 cannot write intelligently
as to its preparation for market, but
Ido know that the industry gives
employment to a large number of
people.
Rice is raised by the natives,
mostly for their own use, yet a great
deal is placed on the market. The
natives live on it to a great extent,
and their favorite method of cooking
it is to fry it in cocoanut oil. The
rice Helds, or paddies, have been a
thorn in the flesh of the American
soldier in this country.
Tobacco is raised and manufac
tured into cigars, smoking tobacco
and cigarettes. It is not as strong
as our American tobacco, but makes
a very good cigar or cigarette, which
are very cheap here. The cigarette,
or cigarillo, is the stronger, and
bears evidence of being doctored.
All the natives smoke—men, women
and children. They do not chew to
bacco, however, but chew a kind of
nut that is, if anything, filthier than
tobacco. The Chinamen smoke
opium in addition to tobacco.
Sugarcane is grown in great quan
tities, and sugar is one of the lead
ing products. Its manufacture is
carried on in some places in a very
primitive manner, and if some of
our American housekeepers could
see the manner in which it is pro
duced from the cane and prepared
for market, they would not like
sugar so well afterward. However,
in some places the manufacture is
carried on in a more modern manner
—machinery being used as in the
states.
Mahogony, rosewood, ebony, cocoa
and other fine hardwoods are com
mon, and the trees grow to an enor
mous size. I saw a boat a few days
since that was “dug out” of a single
tree that was about fifty feet long
and four feet wide. Cocoanuts,
bananas, mangoes and other trop
ical fruits grow in abundance. Gold
is found in some of the islands, es
pecially Luzon. Coal is mined in
some other places by very primitive
methods.
The population of these islands is
a very mixed one, and consists
mainly of natives, the supposed ab
originees, a portion of whom are wild
and wear no clothing. They are
armed with bows, spears and long
knives. Then there is a mixture of
native and Malay, who have all the
features of the negro with very few
of his habits. tn the towns the
natives are mixed with the Chinese,
and their color is a dark yellow.
There is a cross with the Spanish
also, the color of which is a light yel
low, or nearly white, and this class,
the women especially, makes up the
native beauty. The population is
divided into many tribes, and tne
different islands and some parts of
the same island speak a different
language. There are some ten or
twelve different languages spoken
on the islands now. Besides the
native population, English, German
and Spanish as well as other nation
alities help to make up the sum
total. There are a few Americans
outside the army as well.
The natives are small of stature
about the color of dark inahogony.
As we have said before they are
mixed,especially in the towns, which
has brightened the color. In the
towns and cities they are found in
all branches of trade, and in the
country the better class devote them
selves to agriculture mainly. They
till the ground with the caribou (or
water buffalo) using an old fashioned
plow with only one handle and stir
ing the soil about two inches deep.
The ground is so fertile, however,
that it does not take much prepara
tion for a crop. As a rule the native
mechanics are very good workmen,
but very slow.
Competition in trading and mer
cantile world is divided of course.
The English and Germans seems to
hold the balance of power in this di
rection. The Spanish seems to have
played a very small part aside from
military matters. They have accu
pied the islands for many years and
the priesthood has held undisputed
way.
The dress in this country is not a
matter of abundance. White is worn
almost exclusively by the better class
and foreigners. The lower classes
wear practically nothing and the
savages only what nature gave them.
Some of the natives are very treach
erous as the Americans have found
to their cost.
As we have said before the labor is
performed by hand almost exclu
sively and is very cheap. Very lit
tle machinery is used. The natives
and Chinamen perform the most la
borious tasks in a very slow and
methodical way, very often holding
their work with their toes. What
effect the introduction of American
ideas and machinery will have upon
the labor of the country remains to
be seen. But one thing is certain,
and that is if the United States holds
these islands machinery will be in
troduced for American push will
never put up with the present way
of doing things. The natives ara
quick to learn and as they work very
cheap this alone may cut a large
figure in the future. The laboring
class know nothing of course about
organized labor, and as they have
been under Spanish and priestly rule
so long it will be some time before
they fall in fully with modern Amer
ica n methods.
We have tried, gentle reader, to
give you a brief outline of these is
lands as we know them, or them, or
from good authority. We might
give statistics but they would be in
teresting to but few. Neither have
we dwelt upon our regiment's mili
tary exploits or travels. There are
many Georgia boys in our regiment
Bt Careful
No woman can be too careful of
her condition during the period be
fore her little ones are born. Neglect
or improper treatment then endan
gers her life and that of the child. It
lies with her whether she shall suffer
unnecessarily, or whether the ordeal
shall be made comparatively easy.
She had better do nothing than do
something wrong.
MOTHER'S
FRIEND
is the one and the only preparation
that is safe to use. It is a liniment
that penetrates from the outside.
External applications are eternally
right. Internal medicines are radi
cally wrong. They are more than
humbugs—they endanger life.
Mother's Friend helps the muscles
to relax and expand naturally—re
lieves morning sickness—removes
the cause of nervousness and head
ache— prevents hard and rising
breasts—shortens labor and lessens
the pains—and helps the patient to
rapid recovery.
From a letter by a Shreveport, La.,
woman: “I have been using your
wonderful remedy, Mother’s Friend,
for the last two months, and find it
just as recommended,”

U. S. V. 1., 110-110, P. I.
Although a very busy man, Dr. R. V.
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., lias found time
in which to write a great book of
over a thousand pages entitled, The
People’s Common Sense Medical Ad
viser, in Plain English, or Medicine
Simplified. Few books printed in the
Ergiish language have reached so great
a tale as has this popular work, over 680,-
GOO copies having been sold at $1 50
each. The profit on this enormous sale
having repaid its author for the great
amount of labor and money expended on
its production lie has now decided to
give away, absolutely free, 500,000 copies
of this valuable book, the recipient only
being required to mail to the World’s
Dispensary Medical Association, of Buff
alo, N. Y., of .which company he is presi
dent. twenty-one (21) one-cent stamps,
to cover cost of mailing only, and the
nook will be sent post-paid. It is a veri
table medical library, complete in one
volume. It, contains 1008 large pages,
and over 300 illustrations, some of them
in colors. The Free Edition is precisely
the same as that sold at $l5O except
only that the books are bound in strong
manilla paper covers, instead of cloth.
It is not often that our readers have an
opportunity to obtain a valuable book
on such generous terms, and we predict
that few will miss ..vailing themselves of
the unusual and liberal offer to which we
have called their attention.
