Gen. Frederick Funston address ed a college audience in the Stan ford University last Friday, during which he severely criticised the Catholic church in the Philippines. According to telegraphic reports sent out from San Francisco, he said: "If congress would drive out the friars and confiscate every inch of church property the bottom would drop out of the insurrection within one week. The inhabitants of Luzon are completely under the church." This attack has caused much in dignation among Catholics. Arch bishop ChapelleB attention was called to the remarks of Gen. Fun ston yesterday, and he most em phatically insisted that the state ments could not be borne out by the facts. "The religious orders," he said, "have been in Luzon for more than three hundred years. If, during this time, they have acquired much property and attained great promi nence in national affairs, it must be remembered that they have also brought religion and culture to the people." Mgr. Chapelle will reply formal ly to Gen. Funston, and is now preparing a statement. . He has considerable data concerning the religiouB and educational institu tions of the archipelago and the progress of learning during the Spanish occupation. He reiter ates the remarkable statement made some weeks ago that Luzon has lees illiteracy per capita than the state of Massachusetts, and he will produce figures to prove his contention. In regard to some er roneous reports about his mission U the Philippines, it has been ex plained that the new delegate will follow strictly the lines laid down for extraordinary delegates from the Vatican. This will not include the calling of a council of priests to expound the policy of this gov ernment. He will pursue the same course in the Philippines as in Cuba; that is, he will personally visit as many portions of the isl ands as will be possible, and will advise and instruct the native priests.

She writes: ' I have used Mother's Friend before two confinements. The last time I had twins, and was in labor only a few min utes. Suffered very little." The reason why Mother's Friend .does expectant mothers so much good is because it is an external liniment, to be applied upon the outside, where much of tne strain comes. It helps be cause the pores of the skin readily absorb it, and it comes into direct contact with and is absorbed by the parts involved. Morning sickness is quickly banished, and nervousness is kept completely away. The sense of dread and foreboding is not experienced, even during labor Itself. Confinement is short and almost without pain. Recovery is quick and sure. Best of all, Mother's Priend benefits the unborn just as much as the expectant mother, and when the little one comes it will be strong, lusty and healthy.
