"We welcome the mission and will
gladly submit to its investigations,
We are like the patient who willing
ly places himself in the hands of the
doctor. We have great faith in the
American congress and we think that
every rihpino can say:
I owe everything I have to
America.
General Wood, in replying, said
"Among the important and inter
esting investigations we are making
are those into the schools, the public
wcrks, and the administration of jus
tice. The latter, if in a fair and im-
partial way, without reference to per
sons, is the bulwark of any people.
The American people want to know
the Philippine! and their conditions,
W. Cameron Forbes and myself
came to make an impartial report of
things as we find them. The hospi
tality of the people has been magnif
icent, all of the officials from Acting
Governor Yeater down have been
inost considerate in their efforts' to
aid our investigation in every pos
sible way."

speakers did not refer to indepen

that the mission's approval would be

MRS. M'KUHN
FEELS BETTER
THAN IN YEARS
Remarkable Powers of Tanlac
Again Demonstrated in Case
of Kansas City Resident.
Here is another instance of the re
markable powers of Tanlac in build
ing up the system following the
ravaging effects of influenza. Mrs
L. McKuhn, 1712 Broadway, Kansas
City, Mo., says:
"I had influenza about a year ago
and it left me with no appetite and
my digestion almost ruined. I suf
fered terribly from palpitation of the
heart, headaches and dizziness. I was
constipated, and had dreadful pains
in my back. It was almost out of
the question, for me to get a good
night's sleep, and I became so
weak and run-down that my house
work was beyond my strength com
pletely. Nothing seemed toreach my
case until I got Tanlac. .
"But Tanlac has made the most
wonderful difference; in fact, I am !n
better health now than I have been
for years. Why, I can eat meats,
pasteries, or just anything else I
want, and everything agree with
me perfectly. I have gained 10
pounds in weight, my nerves are
steady and my sleep is sound and
restful. I have been so pleased with
Tatalac I have induced a number of
my friends o take it, and they have
all been delighted with the results.
It is a wonderful medicine."

Fight Against High
Hotel and Rail Rates
Fremont, Neb., May 25. (Special.)

lutions, at their meeting, held in

' "Realizing that the cost of travel
ing is out of proportion to the price
that the jobber and the manufactur
er are realizing on their goods and
that, unless the cost of getting busi
ness can be decreased in proportion,
it will not be jprofitable to the house
you represent.
"Be it therefore resolved that the
Grand Council of Nebraska United
Commercial Travelers of America
use its efforts to bring about a reduc
tion in the hotel rates and also to
use efforts to bring about a reduc
tion in the cost of transferring
trunks, auto livery charges and auto
storage charges.
"Be it further resolved , that the
grand counselor of oitr organization
be authorized to write to the Inter
state Commerce commission at
Washington, D. C, endorsing the re
quest that is now on file with the
commission for a mileage book and
an excess baggage book, which will
enable large users of the railroads
to enjoy a more favorable rate on
railroad fare and excess baggage
charges than is in effect at this time."
