BAD LIVERS.

Not only is the Liver the largest but one of the most important org ns in the human body, and when deranged it becomes the source of endless suffering. When the Liver is clogged by the inactivity of the kidneys and bowels, it becomes torpid, and fails to fiker the bile from the blood, thus producing biliousness and a general impairment of the digestive system. The tongue is coated, the head aches, digestion is imperfect; there is aching of the limbs and back, feelings of fulness, weight and soreness over the stomach and liver; the eye becomes yellow and jaundiced and the complexion muddy, the urine is scanty and highly coloured, and the bowels irregular, constipation and looseness alternating - There is little use treating the liver separately, as it can never be set right until the kidneys and bowels are made active in removing the waste from the body. It is for this very reason that Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills have always proved so wonderfully successful in curing the most chronic Liver complaint, biliousness and complicated ailments of the kidneys, liver, and bowels. They reach the liver as no other remedy does,

AMERICAN PROTEST AGAINST

LOOTING

• Nearly soventeen years after it was filed there has been found in the records of the War Department a protest which the late Lieut. Gen. A R. Chaffee sent to the German Field-Marshal, Count on Walderse, then commanding the allied forces sent to the relief of the Peking Lagations, in which General Chaffee called the Marshal's attention to the fact that the German troops under his command were looting the ancient Chinese Obser- watory, says the New York Timel

He wrote a letter to von Walders, and handed it to Lieutenant Edgar T. Collins, then an aide-de-camp, with in- structions personally to deliver it to the German Field Marshal. Collins, who is now a Colonel and Chief of Staff of the national army division at Wrightstown, delivered the letter within half an hour after Chaffee handed it to him. This is the letter found to-day in the files of the War Department:

BAKER GIVES OUT LETTERS: Colonel Collins has often told the story of Chaffee's actions to his friends. No young other of liis time, was closer to Chaffee than Collins, and officers who know Collins, but who do not know the facts of the German part of the Chinese oxpedition, have often expressed a desire to know exactly why Collins always ap- peared to be just a little more pro-Ally than any other pro-Ally officer in the regular army. Colonel Collins told the story to a member of the Temes staff shortly after the outbreak of the present war, but it was not until the letters were found in the files of the War Department recently that their publication was autho rized by Secretary Baker
