I Many persons have their good
day and their bad day. Others
re about half sick all the time.
They have headache, backache,
and are restless and nervous.
Food does not taste good, and
the digestipn is poor; the skin
is dry and sallow and disfigured
with pimples or eruptions;
sleep brings no rest and work
Is a burden.
What is the cause of all this?
Impure blood.
And the remedy?
ryi
It clears out the channels
through which poisons are
carried from the body. When
all impurities are removed from
the blood nature takes right hold aNy
and completes the cure.
If there is constipation, take W
Ayer's Pills. ' They awaken the
drowsy action of the liver; they
cure biliousness. g

THE PRESIDENT DEPRESSED
Unexpected Riflleulties ii^ the
Philippines and Fear That
Another Call tor Volunteers
Will be Required.
Haiti more Sun.
Washington, D. C., April 24.
?All callers at the while house
today wero informed that the
president was indisposed and was
compelled to deny himself to vis
itors. White house officials in a
quiet way intimated that the
president had an attack of neuralgia
in the tace, but would he all
right in a day or two. The president,
it is believed, did take cold
in his teeth on Friday last, while
on the l'otoinac river. But it
was not the physical ailment altogether
which disinclined hint
today to give audience to general
callers.
It may be sought to produce a
contrary impression, but it is absolutely
correct that the president
is very much depressed by the
situation in the Philippines. Not
only this, but the contemplation
of the other complications which
will, it is now seen, eventually
grow out of our expansion policy
is more than sufficient to produce
disquiet and apprehension in the
mind of the man who is responsible
for the conditions which exist
and responsible for the satisfactory
determination of the
same.
It needs no prophet, to forecast
that sooner or later the president
will have no alternative but to
call for the volunteers provided
for in the act of congress. It has
been several times semi officially
announced there would be no
I necessity for this. There will be,
' if we are to hold on to the Philippines,
and constantly the answer
to all arguments by the opposition
is that wo can not afford
i to let go. A very high government
official said tonight: "We
' I U_1J -L 1 >? - .
I iiiiisi nuiu uii. even snouiu 11 laKe
half a million of men." The
r
: cost in money he did not consider
I worth while to discuss.
While denying himself to out
siders the President was not too
1 busy today to see several members
of the cabinet, including the
t secretary of war, with whom he
I talked long over the news from
' the East. The president is bit
> terlv disappointed at the protracted
and stubborn resistance
which the army is meeting in the
' Philippines. lie truly had not
the least idea of such a thing
when ho concluded to insist upon
the cession of the islands. Now
such a Vision of immensity opens
up that it may well trouble his
\yaking and his sleeping hours.
i The treasure to be dropped from
the rollers of this country in this
' far-off land is a consideration
i quite serious enough of itself,
' when compared with the prob
able equivalent. Ear more than
this, infinitely more, are the
daily lives offered up as a daily
sacrifice with ttie most insignifit
,
cant results.

There have been mauy desertions

Washington, April 27.?The
postponement ot decisive operations
against Calumpit for at least
twenty hours has increased the
feeling of suspense and expectancy
which lias prevailed for the
last few days among the ollicers
of the army and administration.
I esterday it was thought would
bring conclusive results from the
campaign region around Agumaldo's
headquarters. The onward
march of Lawton, however, is attended
with great difficulty and
hardships. Lawton reached Nozagarv
a little too late apparently,
as assist Macarthur's forces in
an affective joint attack.
Nevertheless, it is impossible
to find auything in the present
situation to cause very great anxiety.
Both Lawton and Macarthur
seem now to be occupying the positions
sought, and the next dispatches
are expected to bring
news of the successful combined
attack on Calumpit. Some anxiety
is felt in Washington nt
possibility of Lawton's toree being
cut off from supplies.

advices received by army officers
from Manila tell of extraordinary
precautions being taken to protrct
General Otis against assassination
by murderous Filipinos.

against high ranking American
officers might tie repeated,
unless unusual means were taken
to guard sgainst such an attack.
