We know of but one community IN
the world where dyspepsia is practi-
cally unknown, and that is the Shak-
ers of Mount Lebanan, N. Y. These
good people have been studying the
subject of digestion for more than a
hundred years, and that they under
stand it pretty thoroughly, is evil
denced in the foregoing fact. Their
Digestive Cordial is the safest and
best remedy in cases of indigestion
that we know of. A trial bottle can
be had through your druggist for the
trihing sum OF 10 cents.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial sup
plies the system with food already di-
gested, and at the same time aids the
digestion of other foods. 1t will al
most instantly relieve the ordinary
symptoms of indigestion, and no sui
ferer need to be told what these are.
Laxol is the best medicine for chill
dren. Doctors recommend il in place
J of Castor Oil.

Although he worked till late.

That did him any harm,

And broke leg and arm.

Japan and wall.
IlentS.

One view of Japan's attitude toward
Hawaii seems TO be that japanese control
should follow the fact that the Japanese
at present outnumber the English-speaking
population in the islands.
The Japanese, however. on the islands
at present are mainly laborers. imported
for that purpose and fulfilling only that
func tion. They have no other stake there.
and are net themselves ambitious of estab-
fishing any other. They are merely pup
pets in the hands of their ambitious home
government. They have not made for civ
iliZaticn in the islands and are not likely
to make for IL.
What We call civiiizat tion has been estab-
lshed in Hawaii by Enslish-speaking peo-
pie. the most progressive and successful of
whom nay be traced TO the United States.
The present governnent-the only decent
government the islands have ever had-is
in their hands. They stand for everything
of real value there. and for all the best
possibilities there. Their stake in the
islands cOmprehends property. progress.
intelligence. character. everything. indeed
of good report. They are at home. in the
fullest sense of the term. They deserve.
therefore. the support OF ali who sympa-
thize with men carrying the banner of gen.
ulnc clVlIlZation on the 1r0Etier and under
great difficulties. Their actual number is
of small consequence when it is considered
that those on the ground represent the
true value of the territory.
Ii Crete were a republic. in danger of
falling into the hands of Turkey sympathy
with her would probably be stronger then
than now. The people of the United States
would then have presented to them. in ad-
dition to the humanities involved. the ques-
ton of the lowering of the flag of freedom
to the flag of despotism. The number of
Turkish laborers IN the island would cut
no figure one way or another.-
And so 1t is that the case of Hawaii is
strong in American eyes in every way. In
the first place. civiliza ton is involved and
the United States is for civilization. In the
second place. freedom is involved and the
United States is for freedom. In the third
place. the representative people ir the
islands want to share in the dest.iy and
protection of the greater republic. and the
people OF the greater republic are inter-
ested in affording them that opportunity
Let the stars and stripes be but perma-
nently raised in Hawaii, and the English
speaking popula ton will speedily outnum-
ber that of all other nationaIities COM
