Townsend of Sharon Hill, Pu., ex-president of the Christian Endeavor Soctety, has been a user of 2 Ripaus Tabules, and says of them: “They keep my bowels open, they do not gripe, they do not purge, and I do not have bad pains in my stomach any more, which I had, with dyspepsia and constipation, for years—in fact, up to about three days after I began taking the Tabules. There used to be some kinds of food my stomach would sicken on—pork, for Instance. I could not eat it without having # distressed feeling. Now everything goes down, pork and greasy food, that used to make me sick to think of. A vial of Tabules fs always In my pocket.”” Ripans Tabales are sold by druggists, or by mail if the price (50 cents a box) is sent to The Ieipans Chemical Company, No. 10 Spruce st., New Xork.

The Spanish supreme court declares that the action of the military court in Havana was irregular and that the prisoners of the Competitor are enti‘led to trial by a regular civil tribunal. This action of the Spanish authorities meets the claim of the United States government in the matter. —_—____-e-+—___ javal Orders. Lieut. C. P.
