THE SHAKERS IDEAS OF MEDI,
CINE

Now days when man goes to his
doctor. he is usually told that he has
some unheard of disease with a long
name, and when he leaves the office
he does not know whether it is st.
Vitus Dance or consumption that is
gradually undermining his health.
1t is therefore refreshing to talk
with the Shakers, for their simplicity
commands confidence and respect,
and we have the further satisfaction
of knowing that they have devoted
themselves to the study of disease
and its cure for more than a hundred
years.
The venerable old man whom the
writer saw was only too glad to dis
cuSS his pet subject. He said that
strange as it might seem, very few
doctors realized that three-quarters of
the most prevalent diseases were all
attributed to faulty digestion.
He then went on to say that child
of average intelligence knows that pu-
trid meat or decaying vegetables are
poisonous. and must be avoided, and
yet these same foods, even if taken in
to the stomach in the freshest possible

gested and absorbed.
In such cases the resulting pOisOnS
enter the system. when aches and
pains. weakness and debility soon fol-
low as natural consequence.
1t was recognitions of this that led
the Shakers to devote their energies
to the perfection of a product which
would stimulate the digestive organs
and assist them to perform their pro-
per work.
The first symptoms of diSOrered di-
gestion is loss of appetite, and the
Shaker Digestive Cordial is wonder
fully efficient in supplying any def
cheney in this respect. at the same
time is relieves all distress after eat
ing. Furthermore. as was carefully
explained by our venerable friends. it
is absolutely harmless.
Better evidence of the Shakers CON
fidence in it could not be found, than
in the fact that they have placed 10
cent sample bottles in the hands of all
druggists, assured that if once tried
it will produce such immediate and
marked benefit that it will be contin-

Hanged and Then Vanished.

An English custom of not so long
ago was to hang smugglers on gibbets
arranged along the coasts, and then
tar the bodies that they might be pre-
served a long while, as a warning to
other culprits. AS late as 1922 three
men thus vanished could have been
seen hanging from Dover castle. Some
times the process was extended to rob
bers, assassins, incendiaries and other
criminals. John Painter, who fired the
dockyard at Portsmouth, was first
hanged and then tarred in 1916. From
time to time he was given fresh coat
of varnish, and thus was made to last
nearly IA years. The weird custom did
not stop smuggling or other crimes,
but no doubt it worked some influence
as a preventive.

SHORT SNAPS.

BRYAN is cleaning out the stable;

BRYAN is the captain right: see how
he makes the privateS fall into line.
Little Johnny Gallagher has been
rewarded even if he did pull for Sal
liway.
Those old volunteer firemen don't
fool with Bryan; see how he fiattens

Some of the alderman are already
asking themselves the question, what
are we here for"
CAPTAIN Shardein should request
some of his new awkward squad to
trim their hair and whiSkers.
All signs point to the fact that San
Antoine is to have but one mayor while
Bryan is holding down the job.
The Light slipped one notch in its
representations as we fail to see
where Captain Cardenas caught on.
Our new assistant chief should be
allowed to wear green stripes on his
pants: the 18th of March is near at

Nothing like having a pull; one of
the new policemen is said to have in
fiuenced four votes in the last cleo
ton.
Market Master Page will please see
that the restaurants do not palm off
speckle back bass.
1t is strange to see a newly appoint
ed policeman smile in the face of the
fact. that he is steering up against an
empty city treasury.
The new aldermen showed the
white feather quick; Bryan ought to
order the bridges painted white in
honor of their being so tame.
The bankrupt sales fire sales"
railroad wreck sales" and other like
fakes. should be required to at least
pay a full years license to do business
in our city.
The Light suggests the appointment
of Anton Schumacher. as superinteu-
tendent of the city hall building for
about ten days. He would give l.
thorough cleaning up.

CATS WITHOUT TAILS.
Their Homo Is in the Isle of Man, Near
the English Coast.

the English Coast.
At first glance you might cal it rab-
bit or kangaroo's little cousin; but it
is really a cat, even if it hasn't any tail.
Its home is in the Isle of Man, south
of England, and for that reason it is
called a Manx cat. A few of the kind
have been brought to this country, but
they do not thrive very we'll outside of
their native land.
To one accustomed to an ordinary
cat the Manx catapears very unfinished
and incomplete, its tail being mere
brush of hair hardly as large as a rab-
bits tail. 1t is much bigger and
stronger than the common pussy"
and it has a roundish head, with fuller,
iiercer eyes. Its hair also is coarser and
thicker, often a yellow or buff, and its
hind legs are longer and of greater
strength than the others. And its claws
one touch of them is enough, for they
are long and sharp, and when fighting
the Manx cat drives them deep into the
flesh of its enemy. 1t is astonishingly
swift in its movement and like its Wild
er brother, the wildcat it knows no
fear. For catching rats and mice, rab-
bits. birds and other small game no
animal equals it.
Although the ManX cat lives in and
around the homes of mankind, it is
not so gentle and easily tanned as an

MUSCULAR RHEUMATISM
PROMPTLY RELIEVED.

Mr.. ]. K. Holton, well known fur
dealer of Oxford, Pa, says he some
times suffers with muscular rheuma-
tism, and while having one of the most
painful attacks, he called in w. ]. T.
Browns drug store, and Mr.. Brown ad-
vised him to try Chamberlain's Pain
Balm, he did SO, and it gave him i'm
mediate relief. Pain Balm Is also rec
commended for rheumatism by Mr.. E.
w. Wheeler, of Luthers Mills, Pa, who
has used it and found it to be an ex-
cellent remedy. If troubled with rheu-
matism give it a trial. 1t is certain
to relieve the pain as soon as applied
and it's continued use will effect cure.

INSTRUCTIONS TO MINISTER.
According to the vernacular press.
Count Okuma, Minister of State for
Foreign Affairs, has issued the fol-
lowing instructions to the japanese
Minister in Hawaii:
81. The Hawaiian Government. in
refusing to permit Japanese immi-
grants to land, put it out of the power
of the japanese Consul to adopt
measures for their protection and to
discharge other necessary functions.
It's action must be regarded as con-
trary to the Treaty.
SO: The measure taken by the Ha-
waiian Government to prevent the Jap
anese immigrants from placing the
matter in the hands of legal advisers,
amounted practically to undue inter
ference with individual rights of the
japanese, and must also be a violation
OF the Treaty.
SO. The fact that the Hawaiian Ju-
dietary, in conformity with the posi-
tion taken by the Executive, refused
to entertain the suit at law instituted
by the Japanese whose landing had
been prevented, must be recognized as
a violation of the legal rights secured
to the japanese by the Treaty"

LAST SAD RITES.
Funeral of the Late Mrs Henry Water
house.

The sudden death of Mrs. Henry
Waterhouse at the Peninsula early
Saturday afternoon has cast gloom
over the city. The sincere sympathy
of the community goes out to the grief
stricken husband and heartbroken
children in their bereavement.
Many of the closest friends of the
family were not aware that Mrs.
Waterhouse was i'll and the news of
her demise came like a thunderbolt to
them. Her illness lasted but one
short week but not until Friday was
her condition considered anyway SER
ious. Early Saturday morning she had
a sinking spell but seemed to rally.
Later in the morning DR.. Herbert and
DR.. Day were sent for. The end came
a few minutes past o'clock. All the
members of the family were at the
bedside.
Mrs. Waterhouse succumbed to a
slight disorder and high fever, her
pulse being 106 when she died.
The body was prepared for burial
and brought to the Waterhouse home
on Nuuanu, in this city, saturday af-
ternoon. The funeral services took
place yesterday afternoon at o'clock
from the house. Rev. Douglas p.
Birnie, of the Central Union church,
read the Bible and Rev. II. w. Peck, of
the Methodist church, offered prayer.

que Turner, Mrs. f. C. Damon, II. F.

companied on the piano.
The body was borne to the Water
house family lot in Nuuanu cemetery,
where brief service was held. The
pail bearers were: President Dole,
Minister Damon, Attorney General
Smith, j. b. Atherton, w w. Hall, c..
p. Iaukea, b. F. Dillingham; and p. C..
Jones. A squad of eight police Off
GERS, in command of Acting Captain
Chamberlain, were the body bearers.
Mrs. Waterhouse was born Febru-
airy 10, 1914. She and President Dole
were raised in the old Mission house
that used to stand on King street. In
March 1869 she was married to Henry
Waterhouse. Two sons and two
daughters mourn the loss of kind
and loving mother. The deceased was
identified with many charitable So
cieties and was an active member Of
Central Union church.

Mrs Meyers accompanied him and the

quaintances. He states that things
are progressing nicely in the settle

the globe that treats its unfortunate
lepers with as much kindness and con-
sideration as does Hawaii"
But numerous complaints are be-
ing constantly received by the Board
of Health from lepers under your
charge?'
81 am perfectly well aware of that, -
replied Mr.. Meyers. "These lepers
have nothing to employ their time, SO

Health Department embodying all
their troubles. Most of them are non
sensical, but I admit that there are
grounds for complaint at times, and
1 always try to remedy the wrong. /

soon," continued the Superintendent
II am serving the Government the best

In speaking of the terrible murder
of Chinese storekeeper and a brutal
assault upon his wife in Molokai re-
Gently by three natives who have beer
arrested Superintendent Meyers states
that it is just one of the acts of Ma
fla organized among certain Hawaii
ans on Molokai who are not lepers
Life and property is really not safe
among these people," Mr.. Meyers said
''They have been burning down some
houses, destroying property and as
saulting people generally of late. The
band of outlaws seem to confine theil
depredations to the white and Chinese
residents. They do not Interfere will
their countrymen in the least bit"
