EASY TO GET FAT.
If Your Drink Is Right.

Skinny people generally are so because
of their inability to digest the food
which is passed from the stomach into
the bowels. The bowel digestion is
weakened. Starches of the grains make
fat tissue, but if the bowel digestion is
weakened by coffee, tobacco, whisky
ETC., the person remains skinny. Leave
off the weakening habits and use in
place of coffee Postum Cereal, the health
coffee. 1t is made by the Postum Cereal
Co. dim), Battle Creek, Mich, entirely
of grains, and is fattening. 1t looks
like the finest Mocha coffee. Persons
who care to lay aside their hurtful hab-
it's and eat plain, well cooked
food and some fruit and drink
Postum Cereal Food Coffee will feel
a great improvement in a weeks
time. Nature is a powerful builder if
left free to work without drugs and poi
sons.
1t should not be forgotten that so
per cent of the body is LIQUID, there
fore healthful liquid is of the greatest
necessity.

DIPLOMACY.

The Press and the Government of
Japan are, according to Mr.. Akiyama,
two very different things. From what
the gentleman says, the situation in
Japan was gagged in these columns a
couple of days ago. After the first out
burst of unreasoning indignation, the
Japanese Government was obliged to
shew some desire for aggressive ac-
tion, ordered squadron, and then, as
the mental fire died down, counter
manded it, and when it arose again
was finally forced to take some notice
and in Difference to public opinion,
sent the Commissioner on the Naniwa,
though, as his errand was eminently a
peaceful one, there was no necessity
for sending a warship at all. The YES
sci was only sent to serve as sop to
the many headed.
That the Japanese Government is
not quite so Indifferent to the clamor
of the Press, as Mr.. Akiyama stated
yesterday in his interview, is shewn
in the first place by the arrival of
the Naniwa herself, and. secondly, by
the presence on board of no less than
five correspondents of Japanese news
papers. Under special circumstances
American and European correspond
ents of newspapers get a cast in war
ship, but as rule they find their own
means of travel, and these gentlemen
could have easily found their way here
by ordinary passenger steamer. The
presence on board is that the Japanese
Government was anxious to shew them
some special mark of favor.
The report. current in the japanese
Press. that the Naniwa was bringing
three of the rejected immigrants is
denied by the Councillor and the labor
agents on board. This is satisfactory,
for their presence on board the war
ship could not have been regarded as
other than tacit menace of what the
Japanese Government intended to do.
supplied the newspapers of the Occi-
dent and the Orient with columns up
upon columns of material for comment
and speculation, will now enter upon
it's diplomatic stage. Diplomatic nego-
tiations are proverbially long, and
there will be reams of testimony and
dispatches. The outcome will be good,
however, the position of the Hawaiian
Government will be made quite clear,
and the immigration question will be
put upon a more solid basis, which
both Governments will fully under
stand OF course the Japanese think
their case is right; but that will be
developed during the negotiations.

LABOR COMMISSION

The gentlemen appointed to serve
upon the Labor Commission will be
satisfactory both to the planters and
to the representatives of white labor
here.
Mr.. Young is a practical man who
has risen by his own eNertions from
the position of mechanic to that of
millionaire. He understands the
position from the point of view of the
capitalist and from that of the me-
chanic, and can take an equal inter
est in both.
Mr. Emmeluth has devoted years of
thought to the position of the
mechanic in the body polite and can
give expression to his views with
clear cut argument founded on careful
study of economic questions.
Mr.. Armstrong has served on the
Commission already, and having visit
ed Japan on labor matters and being
very familiar with California, must
!
be of use to the two other members
of the Board. Mr.. Armstrong has
always been an advocate for using
white labor and he will now have an
opportunity of seeing his theories in
practical working.
The Eva plantation has come promi-
nently forward in shelving a desire to
employ white labor and the Commits
sion will soon have an opportunity of
seeing it at work. OF its success there
can be no doubt, chosen, as it will be,
from men of proper character. This
is what the Labor Commission must
pay close attention to. None but a
good class of laborers must be brought
down here. Upon the agent in San
Francisco will devolve grave respon,
sibility.

NATIONAL CELEBRATIONS

Honolulu and the islands generally
cannot complain that there will be
any dearth of celebrations in the mid
die of the year. June 22nd and 23rd the
Britishers will get up all their
patriotic enthusiasm and loyalty to
commemorate the sixtieth anniversary
of Queen Victoria's glorious reign, and
together with them people of other
nationalities win join, for the Queen
is beloved for her character and her
goodness by those of many a nation
Her dominions are widespread, her
subjects are counted by more millions
than any other Monarch can lay claim
to; but she has an even prouder do
minion, for she has the respect and
admiration of whole world that is
not bound to her by any tite of duty
or of birth, and which is in many cases
antagonistic to the policy of her Gov
eminent, but which rises above all
this and doffs it's cap to true woman
That this celebration will be marked
one in Honolulu goes without saying.
Ten days after the Diamond Jubilee
celebration will come the Fourth of
July, which celebrates the birth of the
greatest and the least of the Republics
of the world. This double celebration
promises also to be striking one and
great preparations are being made to
have the event a success. In some
way or other all nationalities will par
ticipate in the festivities of the day,
and strict national lines disappear be-
fore the geniality of the season.
1t is a good thing to have these cele-
brations. We need them to remind
us in this lotus eating climate of the
great nations that we have sprung
from; of the great deeds of our an
cestors on both sides of the Atlantic
of their achievements in peaceful arts;
of glory in war; of great ideals in Gov
eminent, and their success in the adj
vancement of civilization. And this
should make us celebrate the more
earnestly the foundation of the Re-
/ public on these islands, which has
laid the foundation here of true pro.
gress with the rest of the world.

PARIS EXHIBITION.

President Mckinley made timely
recommendation to Congress when he
urged that body to act promptly in
providing for the representation of
the United States at the Paris Exhibit
ton of 1900. The President said:
1T is proper that I should empha-
size the need of early action, for if the
present session pass without suitable
provision being made, the postpone
ment of the matter for nearly year
longer could not but operate greatly
to the disadvantage of the United
States, in view of the elaborate prep
arations already made by other Gov
ernments."
With us there will need to be pri-
vate as well as public assistance. II
the exhibits are to be in France in
1900 they will have to start from h ere
that is if they are sent round the
Horn. To send them across the con
tinent and then by steamer freight
across the Atlantic would be vecy eX
pensive. 1t is by no means too early
in the day to begin thinking about
this. The Government should be able
to go to the Legislature with def
mite plan and ask for sufficient means
to have the islands properly represen
ed
An exhibition such as this gives q
wonderful opportunity for advertising
the islands. We are for ever complain
ing that not sufficient is known about
us; that people will insist upon TAX.

that spears and clubs are our favorite
weapons, grass houses Gas per models)
our usual residences, and calabashcs
and mats the principal furnishings of
our rooms.
The exhibit for Paris should be
carefully worked up and should clear
ly shew the position this Republic has
reached as an advanced outpost of
true Anglo Saxon civilization.

AN EX-KTNG

Ham N'Ghi, an ex-King of AMMAN,
now 30 years old, whom the French
are keeping as a State prisoner at
Algiers, has developed some skill as
painter, and intends to send a few

made especially to be used
over an open fire for roasting
meats, fowl or fish. By plac-

very Fond OF Eggs.

There is a family out in South Cum
minsville that has developed penchant
for raw eggs to a degree almost impos-
sible to believe. 1t is common talk in
the neighborhood that from the head of
the family down TO the youngest child
raw eggs form almost their entire diet,
and even the animals on the place are
fond of the same food. The head Of
the household has several incubators,
and raises poultry for q living. Per-
haps this has something to do with it.
One day last week stranger called
at the place and was surprised TO see
three young children sitting along in
a row, each with several raw eggs in
front of them, which they seemed to
relish immensely, while the hired man
was feeding an old horse and New
foundland dog the same dose, which
they appeared to enjoy equally asmuch
as the children. II the hens were sud-
denly to go on a strike it would break
the head of the house in week to sup
ply the common demand of his fam
lily for raw eggs at any and all stages.
