Hawaii,s God-speed to the Troop

From the Honolulu Commercial Advertiser
Just the ancient cities gave to men
whom they delighted to honor, 1.-The free
dom of the city, we have given to you,
the thinking bayonets of the United States,
the freedom of Hawaii. We are of many
races, but before you we one, and a
composite race, which knows for the day
no lines Of difference.
1t is a privilege beyond price to touch
your hands, and hear your voices, because
to many Of us you are of the same flesh
and blood from over the sea, and you are
the Apostles of our faith and hope Are
We not under the same war cloud that rests
over the American continent today? Have
we not invited it? And, therefore do we
rot honor you, who now hold your lives at
the service of the state, and have, at the
call of the state, turned your plough shares
into swords. dressed yourselves in the
livery cf blood" and accepted the thunder
and sunshine of war?
If in breathing our air, and in looking
upon the beauty of our mountains and sea,
which is cur sweet heritage. you have
found rest before brcasting the wilderness
OF water that lies beyond us, We assure
you, that it is as grateful to us as it is to
ycu.
We know that in many home on the
western boundary of the great continent,
the blessings and prayers of many anx-
icus hearts follow you to the end. in lines
of light, with SteadfaSt courage, and that
divine patience in solitude that makes sac
riiice pleasure, and not duty. We know
that there comes the same message to
you, from these homes, that the Spartan
mothers sent to their soldier boys, return
with your shield or upon it, and the little
children pray for those of you who will
never return, but lie forever in inhospitable
graves.
palms and flowers, mothers hands have
tried to do for you, in these few hours,

stead of the girls you have left behind you.
You need no exhortation to courage in
climbing the awful heights of battle, for
you come of a race that is nodded in cour-
age.
So goodbye, boys in blue Plant Old
Glcry in the far east, not In hatred, or
with the love of conquest but in the name
of the enlightened people of the world who
cannot rest until the barriers of ignorance
cruelty and injustice have crumbled in Cuba
and the Philippines.

How shall we celebrate the day?
The Fourth that comes but once year?
Let's have no commonplace display.
But one whose radiance far away
Shall wake new lands to hope and cheer.
Well take the Borealis light
That shines upon Alaskan snow
And prison it and bind 1t tight
Unto a palms majestic hight
Till all is ready for the show.
Then Liberty her torch shall ply
And every land that intervenes
Shall raise a long exultant cry
To see our rocket blaze the sky,
From Cuba to the Philippines.

From the Honolulu Star.
Could anything be finer than the conduct
of Uncle Sans boys yesterday? Cooped up
as they had been in the transports. given
free shore leave in town that they were
strange to, among people they did not
know, there was every temptation to cut
loose and show the worst side OF their
nature. But this town saw, what probably
no town has ever seen and that Is couple
Of thousand men given liberty and not a
case which called for police interference.
OF course this comes from the peculiar
material of which these troops are COM
posed. They are no riff-raff. no swsepiRgs
of tho purlieus of a city. They are the pick
and choice Of the growing western states.
Had not the call Of duty come, tfess youth
would one and all have been filling honor

of their own prosperity and that Of the
community in which they lived.
Other nations have sacrificed their dear

hey-day of his power"
If Chinanaan usually regarded by us as
a barbarian, can live to a healthy, hale old
age, why cannot Americans, with their
more advanced civilization, do the same?
The reporters discovered during Ii Hung
Changes stay in this country, that he took
every thought for his health He lived
upon the simplest of diets and never passed
a day without consulting his physician
He limited his toll to a reasonable number
of hours, and would not deviate from his
rule il this matter. American men follow
just the opposite practice. They work to
the limit of endurance will not even take
the proper time for eating, resting and
sleeping, and never think of their health
until it is gone. There is wonderful med
icine for hard working men. 1t is DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It
takes the place of a physician. 1t keeps
away il1-health and restores health when it
is lost. It is the great appetite sharpener,
blood maker and fesh-builder. It makes
the digestion perfect, the liver active and
the blood pure and rich. Medicine dealers
sell it.
My husband had been robust young man."
writes Mrs M J. Tedder, of Ellington, Reynolds
Co., Mo. when he was 81 years old he began
to cough very hard. He had pains through his
chest and lungs. His mother and the rest Of his
family had died with consumption. He
tinued to cough every winter, until in 1883 he
had an attack of pneumonia. His cough grew
worse and worse. He would vO1n1t Immediately

She was taken to the telephone by

NEW USE OF THE KANGAROO.
The Tendons of His Tail Serving: an
Important Purpose i'm Surgery.

The Tendons of His Tail Serving an
Important Purpose i'm Surgery.
Surgeons of Oakland, on the bay op-
posite San Francisco, have resorted to
the use Of Kangaroo tendons to tie up
the fractured bones of a broken leg,
in order that the patient may have
use of his knee, while the bones are
knitting together, says an exchange.
He is a painter, and this is the second
time he has broken bone of his left
leg in the same place. ITO reset the
fracture and place the limb in a plas-
ter cast until the bone knits would de-
stroy the use Of the knee JOINT said
DR.. Stratton. 1.-The knee had already
become somewhat stiff from the first
setting. We have decided to make an
incision in the leg at the point of the
fracture Of the bone and will bore
holes in the broken bones Through
the holes we will draw kangaroo ten
dcns, and they will hold the bones
use Of a plaster cast about the knee.
This will enable the knee to be bent
each day while the bone is knitting.
Kangaroo tendon is as strong as sill
yer wire. It is taken from the tail of
the kangaroo, and being animal in
its nature, it is absorbed, and the leg
does not have to be again cut open,
as is necessary when silver wire is
