You stoop over at some occupation.

Your back aches, your head aches,
often you ache all over.

Now this isn't right. It's because
your kidneys are tired.

Kapiolani Queen Dowager of the
Hawaiian Islands and relict OF the late
King Kalakaua, whose death had been
expected for several weeks, passed
away at Honolulu, June oath, aged 63.
Kapiolani was the third of that name
TO leave an indelible praiseworthy rec

says the San Francisco ArgOnant. The
--latest and last of the noble born of the
Kapiolanis-for she was the grand
daughter of kaumualii, the last OF the
famous kings of Kauai-will be remem-
bered. apart from the interesting incl
dents of her political career. as wom-
an of noble and generous character,
and lovable in the home life. She was
the originator and founder of the ka-
piolani Maternity Home and the kapi-
olani Home for Girls, while her pri-
Vate gifts in charity were bounded on
ly by her means. She won honors, too,
as the faithful wife and widow who
honestly paid off a great burden OF debt
bequeathed to her by her husband,
King kalakaua, whose eNtraVagances
were a memorable feature Of a reign
which marked the great commercial
development of Hawaii under the reel
procity treaty. After the death or
King Kalakaua. in San Francisco in
1891, the Queen Dowager lived in peace
full retirement and increased her inter
est in charitable and beneficial duties.
