KILLED BY POISONED
ARROW


1t is with deep regret that we record
the death which occurred in Nigeria on
Nov. q last year from a wound by a
poisoned arrow, of the Hon. David Car
nesie, youngest son of the Earl of
Southesk, one of the most promising
and successful of the younger genera
ton of British pioneers in new lands.
Although not yet 80 years old at the
time of his death, Mr.. Carnegie had
made his mark as both a capable Or
lganizer and leader, having, during the
course of his work in Nigeria. been
singularly successful in gaining the
love and respect of those under him,
his influence over whom is described as
almost magical.
A native chief had been raiding on
the bank of the Niger, some twenty
| five miles from Lokoja, whence Mr.
Carnegie vas despatched with a small
force to quell the disturbance. The re-
fractory chief had fed, but complaints
having been made of the conduct of the
King of Tawail, Mr.. Carnegie resolved
TO proceed thfther and arrest him. The
iplace was found deserted, and the re
turn march was begun, but the small
party was at once attacked by conceal
ed natives, the leader being hit by an
arrow on the thigh. Fifteen minutes
later he was dead, but his body was

koja by his devoted followers. By his
death most promising career has been
cut short--London Geographical Jour

What the Kidneys Are For.
What D0aES BAGEBGHE KIDNEY pills d.

It's the duty of the kidneys to see
that the blood keeps pure
Not to make new blood-the food we
eat does that, but to remove from the
blood all the poisons and impurities
the waste matter-that is gathered up
during its circuit of the body.
These poisons are deadly.
If they are not taken out of the
blood by the natural filters, the kid
peys, they are carried. back to the
heart, and are started out again all
through the body.
! OF course they cause disease.
We can't be healthy if our blood isn't
pure.
When our kidneys are sick our back
aches. That's way they have OF tell
ing US they need help.
It's the duty of Doan's Backaehe Kid
ney Pills to cure sick kidneys.
They know their duty well.
They are performing it here in Ho-
nolulu.

NATURES PROVISION FOR MAN

When Nature designed man she pro-
vided ample things for his preserva-
ton. Man was intended to live and be
healthy on vegetation; that was the
natural way. The only way to be
healthy, or regain lost health, is by
using natures remedy and great blood
purifier-Kickapoo Indian Sagwa. This
is the great Indian remedy, taken d.
rect from natures unerring laboratory.
1t is made of simple herbs, roots and
barks, and always acts naturally. It
searches out the disease; finds the
cause of it; Stays it, and restores the
body to normally healthy condition.
If your liver is sluggish, if you feel
duh, drowsy, or inactive; il your heart
doesn't pump right, palpitates, thumps,
sometimes vigorously, and sometimes
family; if your bowels are inactive, or
over-active; if your stomach fails you;
if your kidneys fail to act naturally
there is still help for you Il you will
take Kickapoo Indian Sagwa. You
must act quickly. Disease is progress
sive. You must stop it at once. Kick
apco Indian Sagya will do 1t. Hebron
