The Philippine Chess Club has just concluded its first tournament at Manila. The Champion- ship fell to Captain W. C. Rogers. "The Club is now preparing for a handicap tournament in March.
In the Timis chess columes we find the follow ing Notes for Players"-It is rarely good to invite oxhanges at an early stage; but a vital point is never to abirk taking offensive pawns or 305 pieces unless the capture will help the enemy. To allow an opponent to occupy menacing positions and, from a falso sense of delicacy, or timidity, to refruíu from exchanging is the height of absurdity, and yet it is common anongk. Naturally as to this and all other matters judgment bas to be exercised. The question of position to be gained or lost and the relative value of piema in always worth consider ing. The first and foremost principle in development, and the second and third are the To venture sa a fancied attack with a couple of pieces in play is insanity, but the error 1s raupant. Develop first, and by all means get the knights-both of thom-in play at B 3 quickly and, of course, the king's and queen's pawns will be advanced early to allow of fro dom for the bishops. These rules will be found usefulas applying to every condition and to every opening. Bat there must be common-sense

When the friond of Mr. Michael Fitzpatrick, of 66, Forbes Street, Woolloomooloo, Bydney, N.S.W., alvised him to take Mother Seigel's Curativa Syrup for the care of indigestion, be backed his advice with some excellent ressons excellent because bis judgment of that remedy was based upon actual experience of its merit. 20th June, 1902: For many years I suffered 44] terribly from indigestion and biliousness, and spent pounds and pounds on doctors' medicines and so-called cares; but without avail. In those days I had no appetite, and the little food I ate turned sour on my stomah, casing severe simeks of heartburn. I was also troubled with pains in the chest, violent headaches, and habitual constipation. In fact, at one time or other I suffered from most of the symptoms whicle characterise a sluggish liver and impaired digestion. My worst affliction. however, was a total inability to obtain sufficient sleep. I would go to bed feeling wornat and sleepy, bat as soon as my head touched the pillow my brain would become unnaturally activo, and I would think of very kind of subject, and roll and toss about between the sheets, listening to the Fish Market Clook as it chimed hour after hour, until all my nerves were in a quiver. Then I would rise and walk the floor, backwards and forwards, the greater portion of the night For years I had been in this wretched state when one day a friend foctuustoly called to see. me.
