 "I had, for about two years, been under considerable physical and mental sgcin- and my nervous system seemed to utterly give way. 1 had some excellent physicians, but their remedial agencies failed to reach the case-at best affording only teE9or- ary relief.
 At the time the family left, my attes:- tion. was called to Grape-Nuts food. Sever al things had led me to believe that lrSS troubles were largely due to improper nutrition. The absence of the family gave me a good opportunity to try the new food for it is perfectly cooked ana there fore required no work on my part

The improvement was tion was better, sleep became regular and restful, and l began to gain flesh. I could soon do work with less fatigue and more satisfaction.
 My nervous system has been wonderful ly improved, and today I weigh more than l have ever weighed and find my strength equal to all the responsibility. This is not all; on the return of the family Grape Nuts became regular article of food at the morning hour. The children ate 1t and improved
 My wife, who was nursing an infant, discovered that after she began using Grape-Nuts regularly, for the first time in many years, natutGs food supply for the baby was adequate, without resorting to artificial subterfuges. Grapes-Nuts food not only carried us through the sickly season, but has been a Godsend to our en- tire. family"

women i'm Athletics.

Women have one advantage over men
when IL comes 10 the question of outing
dress. says a writer in an Eastern paper.
This was clearly shown by a conversation
between two girls who watched the new ar
rival walk down the steps Of the hotel
toward the golf links. They realize them
selves that they are not compelled TO be
up 10 the physical standard exacted for
the men before they assume athletic garb.
Look at that poor, mistaken, misguided
man. said one Of the girls as his rather
giobular figure receded from view. He
thinks that an outing shirt and a pair of
knickerbockers make him look just. as ath-
letic and sportsmanlike as the best of the
young fellows down here. He thinks that
1t depends only on the clothes. I've seen
many a man come down here, look at the
tanned. athletic, muscular men who spend
their time In sport and the open and de-
eide thai they'll look like that themselves
30 they go 10 town and buy the togs which
they think are responsible for that look
Ihey don't seem TO know that the makeup
matter. The clean-cut, 1.-the figures and
the generally S~portsmanlike look Of those
young fellows depend on something far
more essential than the clothes they wear.
Ii Is the result of some years of exercise
and active athletic life. and the fat men
can never expect TO acquire IL merely be-
cause they nave a coat OF tan and a lot Of
outing toys from town. But to Judge from
the Seif-consciOus manner they go about
their appearance is quite as satisfactory TO
tnem as II they were the genuine article
In place of a futile imitation.
NOW We girls have the better of them,
Tor nothing is necessary for us TO look
most completely sporting beyond a little
sunpurn and the necessary clothes. So
long as we have those two characteristics
we can look as athletic as the most famous
golf champion IN the country. We don't
need the real strength and muscle that the
men nave to possess. Skirt draperies are
expansive enough TO cover us up, and even
the shirt waist doesn't reveal a girls lack
or muscle unless she is dreadfully fat. we
can assume the most attractive outing an
pearahce along with the clothes, and in that
particular We are far ahead of the men,
Anybody can tell when they are genuine or
only imitation, ii makes no difference how
many Clothes they may put on"

this county. Every member was on
hand and in front OF each members
chair was a souvenir from the Commits
sion IN the shape Of a package contain

the packages showed the members of the

pay for statistics that are absolutely
worthless. IL made one think of the

DANCE At SPRECKtLSV|LLE.
MIR. AND MRS. w. j. LOWRIE
ENTERTAIN.
Give a Ball in Honor of Their Daughter
Who Leaves For the Coast to Pursue
Her Studies

PAIA, Maui. July 21.-Without doubt
the pleasantest dancing party of the
season, and one of the pleasantest Maui
has ever seen, took place last evening
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs w. j,
Lowrie of SpreCkelsVille. The affair
was given by them in honor of their
daughter Clara, who leaves today en-
route for the Coast to continue her
studies
An immense lanai, q by 40 feet, had
been erected on the mauka side of the
large house, just adjoining the old We
randa, and here the dancing took place.
Open on two sides to the air with q
floor like glass, lighted with electricity
by a large arc light in the center of
the ceiling and profusely and tastefully
decorated, it was indeed a most charm
ing and delightful place to dance.
The decorations were mainly of fern
rope, they being festooned about the
arc light, and then draped back to the
corners and sides of the large roof over
head. The posts at the sides were
twined with fern rope and at the back
of the lanai was a bank of banana
leaves and green's, behind which the
music was stationed. The music was
furnished by the Waihee orchestra. r
r. Van der Naillen officiated as floor
manager. Dancing commenced about s.
and was kept steadily up until 2:3O Il.
m. Refreshments were served at II.
A large special train was run from
Waluku and Paia, and was well pat
ronized, the large pavilion and verandas
being full to overlooking with people
from all parts of central Maui.

REXENIrE MATTERS.

Mr.. Thomas and Mr.. Driscoll, of the
Treasury department, will leave in Au-
gust for the mainland, having complet-
ed their work here. They estimate that
the receipts from Hawaii will be some
thing over 5000, 900 a year. This is very
little compared to States with beer
breweries, etc. For instance, San Fran
cisco pays over $2000,000. Against pop
ulation the San Francisco ratio should
be about 100000.
Mr.. Haywood took charge of his office
as boss" complete on Friday. He is
the revenue collector for the district of
Hawaii, and will report direct to Wash
