3D YEARS SINCE U.S.WON RULE IN PHILIPPINES Treaty of Paris Took Isles From Sway of Spain in 1908. BY RANDALL GOULD ( United Press Staff Correspondent MANILA, Dec. 10.—Thirty years ago Sunday a treaty was signed half-way around the world from Manila with momentous consequences for the Philippines. It was the Treaty of Paris, by which Spain gave up a sovereignty over these islands which stretched back to more than two centuries prior of the United States Declaration of Independence. - Today the Philippines are being administered by their 100th governor —Henry Lewis Stimson, onetime American secretary of war. First of the long line of foreign ad•ministrators was Miguel Lopez de Legaspi, who assumed office in the year 1564. Merritt Was First It was Major General Wesley Merritt who first acted as Uncle Sam’s long arm controlling the Philippines after the “days of ’98.” He was followed by Major Generals Elwood S. Otis and Arthur McArthur, the latter turning the islands over to civil authorities July 4, 1901. William Howard Taft, later to become President and still later chief justice of the United States supreme court, was the first civil Governor, and he was responsible for changing the title back to the old Spanish one of governor-general during the administration of his successor, Luke E. Wright. The last Spanish governor-general who actually functioned as such was Fermin Jaudenes. But nothwithstanding the surrender of Manila to American forces on Aug. 13. 1398, the Spanish government appointed General Francisco Rizzo as acting governor-general. Held Rule Until Treaty He gave way to Diego de los Rios, ■who established his government in Iloilo and held this authority until the eventful treaty of thirty years ago Sunday. By the terms of the treaty of Paris, the United states acquired the Philippines by purchase—for s2o.ooo,ooo—and not by conquest. Two things remained to be done. One was the putting down of the Filipino insurrection, the other the settlement of the “friar lands” dispute. Military means achieved the former; Taft, who conferred with the Pope, brought about the latter through expenditure of $7,239,784.66 for the extensive agricultural land held by the priests. Thus from the treaty of Paris stems the present relatively settled and placid situation of the Philippines.

RID or AWFUL STOMACH TROUBLE Back-ache and rheumatism also ‘ left her. Health quickly restored. Discouraged sufferers will find a message of good cheer in a letter written by Mrs. Eva Reynolds, 149 S. West Ave., Kankakee, 111. She says: , “I was in pain and misery for years with stomach and kidney troubles, back-ache and rheumatism. After every meal, gas pains would torture me for hours, and food felt like a rock in my stomach. I had back-ache all the time, pains around my heart, and the sharp rheumatic pains shot all through my body. I was so sick and in such agony that I was almost in despair when I finally consented to try Viuna. That was the turning point. The first week I felt decidedly better, and today every sign of pain has left me. My appetite and digestion are fine, no gas, no distress of any kind. It seems wonderful to be . entirely free from rheumatism and back-ache. 1 am no longer constipated, my complexion has cleared up, and I am full of energy where I used to be so weak and draggy. Viuna brought back my health, after I had given up hope of ever being well again.” Viuna acts promptly bn sluggish bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It purifies the blood, clears the skin, restores appetite and digeTtion, and bring! new strength and energy to the wholt body. Take a bottle on trial. Then it you’re not glad you tried Viuna, youi money wiii be refunded. $1 at druggists, or mailed postpaid by Iceland Medicine Cos., Indianapolis, Ind. VIUNA The Wonder Medicine

PASTOR ASKS QUESTIONS OF THEJOFFICIALS The Rev. Fackler Would Like to Know the Answers. Some direct questions were asked Sunday at St. Matthew’s Lutheran church by the Rev. L. C. E. Fackler concerning conditions in this city and state. Declaring that “the people of Jerusalem did unprincipled things, while others were guilty of irreligion” to such an extent that “they dragged down the wrath of God upon their head.',” the Reverend Fackler then asked his questions: “Oh, is this ancient history? It is only a picture of things as they exist also today in Indianapolis. “When looking over the city as a whole, does decency, order, respect for humanity and love for God prevail? “Why is it that when a public official, high up in office is found guilty and should serve his time and pay his fine, that he wiggles around until he is honorably excused? “Why is it that some cases are pushed until a certain point and then pigeon-holed for almost two years? Who are the greatest promoters of the two-year limitation statutes? “Like in Jerusalem, we find officials turning things upside down,” the Reverend Fackler said. Paul Speaks “Paul speaks of spiritual wickedness in high places,” the Rev. Fackled said. “There aie such that pretend they are religious but are teaching false doctrines, deceiving souls and offering a comfort that has no divine approval. Such leadership moves souls to disrespect God and turn a real Christian knowledge of God upside down in their souls. “Dare any man think himself so perfect that he is .not guilty of causing any disturbance? He that boasts of being perfect is perfect in boasting. The spirit of the flesh is trying to disturb the peace of the soul. “The flesh of man urges him to do evil, the influence from without will invite while the power of God is trying to lead man upon the way of righteousness. As much as sin rules in man in so much does he lend assistance in turning things upside down. “Though he may do many things pleasing, yet there are some things which he does contrary to the will of God, thus turning things upside down. Proper Conduct “Why did Judas fall for the thirty pieces of silver? That is the very reason that we find an unjustified draining of public treasuries. Selfishness and greed are reasons why people turn things upside down. Woe unto them who seek deep to hide their counsels from the Lord, and

their works are in the dark and they say, who seeth us. "Some people are really ignorant of the proper conduct and do wrong in good faith, yet that does not excuse them in the sight of the law. “Paul says: ‘I would not have you ignorant brethren’; and then Christ says: ‘Let your light so shine before men.’ “Some people are ignorant of the truth because they will not be enlightened. They shun all means of spiritual understanding. Thus in their willful ignorance their efforts can be easily obtained to turn things upside down, to disturb the peace of God in the souls of others,” the Rev. Fackler said.

NAPSO Cleaning Naptha, Ideal tor Home Use 1 Gal., 35c; 2 to 5 Gal., 30c Gal. Returnable Cans Furnished on Small Deposit DIRECTIONS FOR USE WITH NAPSOPE Dissolve one box of “Napsope” (cleaners naptha soap) by placing the soap in a quart fruit jar about three-fourths full of “Napso.” Shake jar until soap dissolves. This provides enough liquid soap for a five-gallon solution with “Napso.” Pour about two gallons of “Napso” in open vessel, adding two-fifth sos jar of liquid soap, cover the vessel and let goods to be cleaned soak in this solution at least one hour. Overnight will be better. Goods are then dipped in and out of the solution. If rubbing is necessary to remove bad spots, it should be beneath the surface of the solution, because it is possible to make a spark with such friction, and no ignition can result without air. Ten to twenty minutes should suffice to cleanse any fabric, unless unusually soiled. Rinse in clear “Napso,” using no soap. . Hang in open air until odor leaves the goods. Ask the salesman.
