SAN ' FRANCISCO. May 16
How'd you like, to be the only white
man in a Philippine Jungle, surround
ed by jungle beasts, snakes and In
sects. and 10,000 wild men?
That la the Job R. A. Gilmore, first
lieutenant of the Philippine scouts
tackled two years ago. Now he's
back in the United States on a fur
lough, but will soon return to his Job
of taming cannibals. He was the
first white man to go into the wild
district of Mindanao and stay. Two
Dthera attempted the work, but one
died immediately, and another after a
few weeks went violently insane as
t result of the harrowing experience
and the isolation.
Fourteen years ago Gilmore was
a porter in a Michigan hotel. To
day be is deputy governor and tribal
Justice in the district of Davao in the
laland of Mindanao, the sole law
maker, executive head and Judiciary
of the district.
Entering the army in 1899 he
worked up to his present commission
and in 1910 was sent into the interior
of Mindanao to civilize the wild men.
With a little band of native scouts
Gilmore tramped 126 miles through
the Jungle and over mountain and
established camp among savages who
had never seen a white man before.
He at once began to gather these
savages from the mountains into
groups, naming a native as a captain
over each gtoup. They were taught
to till the soil, their weapons were
taken from them, and an effort to civ
ilize them was made. Today 10,000
of these wild people are gathered to
gether Into 40 practically self gov
fining villages, tribal warfare has
’based and slavery is abolished.

Many people jeer at the Idea that
coffee causes the aches and alls they
suffer from; and often such people
will go on for years sticking steadfast
ly to the coffee and suffering month
in and month out but maintaining
“Coffee doesn’t hurt me." (Tea is Just
as injurious as coffee because it con
tains caffeine, the drug in coffee.)
A lady says:
“I did not learn the real truth until
I made the change, but I can now
positively state that the headaches I
had for about seventeen years were
caused by drinking coffee, for when
I changed and gave up coffee and
used Postum in its place I experi
enced entire relief. I have not been
troubled with headaches since I be

"This, in brief, has been my experi

wonderful instances of the power of
this food drink when used in place of

“I really believe these statements

every three months, so four times a

wild men 125 miles to get supplies,
the journey being made entirely on
loot. So dangerous is the road that
a day’s delay In the arrival in town
is the signal for great alarm among
the officers and friends. So difficult
!s the journey that not Infrequently
Lieut. Gilmore has reached the town

takes a long time. It’s a big Job. But
It’s no Job at all to keep from having
consumption.
Tou simply have to be careful —to
be clean and live rationally.
The Great White Plague spreads |
by the transmission of a minute germ
through careless spitting, bv common
drinking cups, by putting fingers In

etc.
To ward off this dread disease you
must practice scrupulous personal
cleanliness. Don’t drink from a cup
that other folks use. Always wash
your hands before eating. Never put
your finger in your mouth.
Never work or sleep In a room
where there is no fresh air.
Remember that above all other
things in this regard. For folks who
get plenty of fresh air don’t often get
consumption. Fresh air is the best
tuberculosis antitoxin in the world.
Open your window wide when
you go to bed at night. Insist on
having good ventilation in your shop
or ycur office. Kick if the ventila
tion is poor. Ts It is not Improved
throw up your joh. It's better to be
out of a Job a while than to have con
sumption and be unable to work.
Live sensibly. Tat plain and
wholesome food, and plenty of it
Get eight hours of Bleep every night.
Then, If you do get consumption In
spite of all these precautions, simply
become more careful still in these re
gards—sleep more, out of doors or
with windows wide open; rest more
and eat more.
For there you get the four thing*
that, taken together, will cure con
sumption If it hasn’t gone too far.
SLEEP, FRESH AIR, REST.
GOOD FOOD.
And remember that you are a dan
ger to society if you have consump
tion and take care accordingly. Al

a public drinking cup, or dishes that

“Missus." she gasped, “I done met

“You must have been mistaken,
Caroline,” said the lady of the house.
“There aren’t any bucli things as
ghosts.”
Aunt Caroline drew herself up
haughtily.

Tho AnnutJ Miracle
< ► ♦
“Funny thing about miracles. None
of them ever happens in our time.
They all occurred in biblical days,
observed the agnostic.
But is he quite right? Are not
miracles happening all the time? Let s
take a look about us right now in
tins bright May weather.
•Come." says Spring, talking to the
little blind roots, snuggling down lu
the brown earth, “Come, wuke up,
sleepy-heuds! Get to work'
“But we are cold,” say the roots.
“I’ll send you my golden sunshine,
says Spring.
-But we are thirsty!” object the
roots.
. “i’ll send you my silver rains,” says
the gentle task-mistress.
And what with the warmth and
moisture and the balmy airs, the
miracle 16 wrought. Down there un
der the earth those wonderful al
chemists. the roots begin work, la
boring with the same materials, each
picks and chooses those things that
it needs. And one accomplishes the
miracle of a violet’s blue. And an
other the sweet miracle of a roses
grace und flush and fragrance. And
another the Jaunty yellow of a Jon
quil.
Miracles? In what man-made dyc
vats are we achieving such colors. In
what laboratories are we creating
such wonderful perfumes? There are
miracles all the time if we but have
eyes to see and hearts to under
stand.
THE PIPER.
I will take my pipes and go now. for
the bees upon the sill
Are of the summer that is
coming from the r^ars;
T will take my pipes and go now. for
the little mountain rill
Is pleading with the bagpipes in
tender, crooning bars.
I will go o’er hills and valleys and
through fields of ripening rye;
And the linnet, and the throstle,
and the bittern in the sedge.
TVIII hush their throats and listen as
the piper passes by.
On the great long road of silver
that
ends at the world's edge.
I will take irv pipes and go now. for
the sandflower on the dunes
Is a weary of the sobbing of the
great white sea,
And Is asking for the piper with his
basketful of tunes,
To play the merry lilting that sets
all hearts free.
I will take my pines and go now. and i
God go with you all.
And keep all sorrows from you and
the dark hearts’ load.
I will take my pipes and go now, for
I fear the summer call.
And you’ll hear my pipes a-singing
as I pass along the road.
- Donn Byrne, in Harpers Maga

of It.
