SCROFULA
Il 10 Foul BIood's ADVERTISE
ment
But It Is Soon Cured by Hoods
Sarsapariiia.

Yes, Scrofula, ifanything, may be called
the advertisement of foul blood. 1t is the
scourge of the world ld-offensive, painful,
debilitating, stubborn and well nigh
unendurable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
cnly drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emoliients may paliiate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
taint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, SO far as We
know, has almost invaria bly, succeeded
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years of taint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read this:
"My daughter was afflicted with i'm
pure blood. There were running sores
aIl over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
riIla and began giving the girl this med
icine. The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking few bottles.
She has had no symptoms Of scrofula
sores since that time" MARIETTA M.

against the combined navies of the
world. The total cost of this defense
will be only one-tenth that of one
battleship. One hundred of these tor
pedo guns will not exceed in cost one

Army and navy people regard Max
inns scheme as visional. They ques-
ton his ability to handle gun cotton in
the way he proposes, or to hurl a mis-
slle nine miles with accuracy under
any circumstances. This person must
not be confounded with Hiram Maxim.

which have been criticised.

is A CHARACTER.
Peculiarities of a Native
Living on Kauai.
An Ornamented-C Fellow Nov
But Was Quite Terror Before
He Reformed.

There is a native living in Nawiliwili,
uai whom everyone knows as Johnny,
but whose family name is Kualokai.
This latter name he has had tatooed on
his arm, together with the picture of
deceased sweetheart. In appearance he
is typical native, muscular, with the
appearance of an athlete and possess
ing well rounded form.
1t is not, however, with his personal
appearance that this article has to do,
but with parts of his record as a Grim
inal He has been in Jail several times
on various charges but has failed to
come into the clutches of the law on
one that is told of him and which sew
eral people in Lihue who know him
we'll, say is true.
Johnny is remarkably good swim
mer and, it is said, was at one time
very much addicted to the habit Of
stealing ducks from various people,
His method was very simple He
would hide in the bulrushes along the
edges of the duck ponds and would,
from time to time, dive out where the
ducks happened to be, snatch one or
two from the surface, push them into a
bag, swim back again to the rushes,
there to take breath for another sally.
In this way, he succeeded in making
quite a comfortable living. However,
he has given up his crooked ways and
new resides like peaceably inclined
citizen, relying on work that is given
him from time to time.
When out on hunting or fishing ex-
petition, there is no better man on the
island of Kauai than this same Johnny.
Barefooted, he will climb all over the
dangerous pals that fall away abruptly
and end thousands of feet below in the
sea. The festive goat itself is not more
active and, when hunting for this kind
OF game, he is as invaluable a man to
chase the animals round to a point of
vantage.
AS driver, there are few natives
even who can beat him. In diving after
Holsters, he has the very uncomfortable
habit of swimming great distance in
to caves that have no opening above
the water. Beneath the rocks of these
places he will feel around, never fail
ing to come to the top bringing with
him something to make glad the hearts
of the housewives.
Johnny is well known character.

1t is repor Jed that Senior De LONE,
the Spanish minister in Washington,
having learned that n large supply of war
material intended for Cuban revolution
lists was about to be shipped southwark
from Chicago, has sent n notice to the
officials of railroads leading out of that
city warming them not to carry material
contraband of war or any material that
may he subsequently used for or by the
Cuban insurgents, at the same time noti-
flying them them that they would lie held
responsible by the Spanish government
under the rules of international law. 1t
looks like a hoax perpetrated on the
Spanish minister, MS it seems impossi-
BILE that he should be guilty of such gross
improperly as this story seems to indi-
cate. He is familiar with the uses of
diplomatic usage and is too intelligent
not to realize that such an order from
him to the officers of an American rail
way would be net only n violation of his
privileges, but an open insult to the gov
ernment ut Washington. The Spanish
legation in this country can exercise no
authority over the operation of American
rail- Dads.
