Plot of Moros
Frustrated By
Loyal Chiefs
Manilla, P. I.,—Hauling down the
American flat;, hoisting the Turkish
flag In its place and driving out all
American PMllpincs were parts of
(in alleged plot by certain Moro
datus in Lanuo province. Island ot
Mindanao, according to a communi
cation received tod-v by the direc
tor or non-Christian tribes, whose
headquarters is in Manila.
Alaoya Alonto, who signs himself
"Sultan of Ramain", makes the
charges and the communication is
signed by twenty-five other sultuns,
241 dutus, ten rajahs, one hadji and
more than three score other Moros,
who are followers of Mohammedan
Ism.
"We Moros are trying to do all
we can In learning from our Christ
ian Filipino brothers, except the
eating of p gs. which is forbidden
by our religion, for we know now
that they are far better than we
are." writes the Sultan of Kamain.
"The agreement of Dutu Amai Man
abiland with Dntu Amai Ijinaning
to do foolishness caused the death
of the latter. We. the young datus
of Lanao. will be very glad if all
those old datus are killed as they
are hindering the progress of our
province as well ai the whole Phil
ippines. The aim of their agree
ment was not only to drive out tjhe
Christian Filipinos but also the
Americans, because they want the
Turkish flag to be raised over
Lanao and the Turks to take the
place of Americans and Christian
Filipinos."
The Sultan says the young datus
desire the compulsory attendance of
public schools should be enforced in
Lanao province, notwithstanding the
opposition of the old datus who fear
that the public schjol teaching will
alienate their girls from the Mo
hammedan faith.

We admit that Christmas is for
all the folks, but tlrst in our minds
come the chlldreu. and you are al
most sure to be up against it when
it conies to picking out son othing
that you know will just fill the bill
for "son" or "daughter" so we are
going to remind you that last sum
mer "son" likely expressed a wish
for a regular baseball bat. or catch
er's or fielder's mitt, or real ball,
summer will soon be here again, and
we have these articles and they are
"regular." "Daughter" may have
expressed a wish for a tennis racket
or a case for the one she already
has. Teunis days are not far off
and we have a good line of rackets
and cases. "Son" may have wanted
I a jointed fishing rod. or reel, or silk
line, or a fish basket or llv book.
Our stock is large it, these lines, and
perhaps I'a or Ma would like some
oue of these piece? of fishing gear.
A dozen carefully selected "Pilue
ger" flies would make an acceptable
gift to any man who fishes.
If these suggestions do not fill
the bill, read Kelh.r Bros. Ad. No.

P. S.—Bring in your packages
and we will gladly wrap them safe

THIRTEEN EXCEPTIONAL
GIRI.S TO GFT
IM'SIAI, OPI'ORTl'MTY
New York.—Thirteen exceptional
Barnard college students have been
selected for an educational experi
ment which aims to make of them
scholars uud specialists in their
chosen subjects instead ot having
them kept at work on the prescrib
ed coureso wit. their 700 less biil
liant sisters.
Dean Virginia (5 Gildersleeve,
who recently returned after making
a study of European university me
thods, announced the new course re
sembling the honors course oi the
English universities. Too much
time has been spent in the prist on
poor students 'and not enough on
good ones, she said.
"This plan." she explained, ' is an
effort to avoid some of the faults
characteristic of our American col
lege system; for example, that of
forcing a student to spend a gieat
deal of her time in class rooms lis
tening to lectures and running to
and from various college engage
ments.
"It also attemp.s to counteract
the tendency to tnink of scholar
ship in terms of courses, grades and
points rather than subjects or tlelds
of knowledge and that unfortunate
American tendency to split up one's
knowledge into half-yearly frag
ments which are forgotten quickly
after the midyear and final exam
inations."

To Ailing Women
A I.ittle Sourd Advice Will Help
Many a Sufferer in Skagway
No woman should consider her
self healthy and well If the kidneys
are weak. Poisons that pass off in
the urine when the kidneys are well
are retained in the body when the
kidneys are disordered. This is the
true cause of many bearing-down
pains, lameness, backache, etc. Uric
poisoning also causes headaches,
dizzy spells, languor, nervousness
and rheumatic pain.
When suffering so, try Doan's Kid
ney Pills. You will get better as
the kidneys get better, and health
will return when the kidneys are
well. Let one who has used Doan's
Kidney Pills tell tou about them.
Mrs. J. Malone, 2529 Kulshan St..
Belllngham, Wash., says: "I can
hardly describe the misery which I
endured from backache. When I
washed, it felt as though my back
were breaking in two and terrible
pains struck me in the small of my
back and nearly dcabled me up. My
kidneys acked too often and my feet
bloated badly. I beard about Doan's
Kidney Pills, and two boxes drove
the pain out of my back and regu
lated my kidneys."
