Their Claims Set at Rest.

The claim of other cough medicines to
be as good as Chamberlaiu's are effectu--
ally set at rest in the following testimo-
nial of Mr.. @. ID. Glass, an employe oil

He says: 81 had kept adding to cold
and cough in the winter OF 1897, trying

Remedy aud offered TO pay back my

and bronchial tubes were very sore at

sedentary or indoor occupations gralnei
milk and vegetables are much more
healthiul.
Only men engaged In a severe outdoor
manual labor can live on a heavy meat
diet and continue in health.
As general rule meat once a day is
sufIi; lent for all classes Of men, women
and children, and grains, fruit and vege-
tables should constitute the bulk Of food
eaten.
Bot many Of the most nutritious foods
are difficult Of digestion, and it is Of no
use to advise brain workers TO eat large
ly OF grains and vegetables where the di-
geston is too weak 10 assimilate them
properly.
Its always best to get the best results
from our food that some simple and
harmless digestive should be taken after
meals TO assist the relaxed digestive or
game, and several years experience have
proven stuarrs Dyspepsia Tablets to be
very safe, pleasant and effective dlges-
tive and a remedy which may be taken
daily with the best results.
sthart's Dyspepsia Tablets can hardly
be called a patent medicine, as they do
not act on the bowels nor any particular
organ but only on the food eaten. They
supply what weak stomaehs lack, pepsin
diastase, and by stimulating the gastric
glands increase the natural secretion OF
hydrochloric acrid.
People who make a daily practice Of
taking one or two of stuart's Dyspepsis
Tablets after each meal are sure 10 have
perfect digestion which means perfect
health.
There is no danger OF forming an in
furious habit as the tablets contain alb
solutely nothing but natural digestives
cocaine, morphine and similar drugs
have no place in a stomach medicine
and stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are GER
tainly the best known and most popular
OF all stomach remedies.
Ask yonr druggist for fity cent pack
age Of stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and
after weeks use note the improvement
in health, appetite and nervous energy.

dition to its injury to books, consists
in causing the wall paper to scale off

Remedies are suggested in the Off
cial report, which are said to be entire
ly feasible in the Hawaiian Islands
The report says:
Advantage may be taken of the liking
Of these insects for fabrics and other
articles containing starch to poison
them by slipping into all the crevices
where they occur-in bookshelves and
backs of rnantels, under washboards,
and in the bottoms OF drawers-bits of
cardboard on which a thick boiled
starch paste literally poisoned with ar
senic has been spread and dried. The
silver fish readily succumbs to pyreth-
rum, and wherever this can be applied,
as on book shelves, it furnishes one of
the best means of control. For starch
ed clothing and similar objects liable
to be injured by it, frequent handling
and airing and the destruction by hand
of all speciments discovered. is to be
in addition to the poi
soned cardboard remedy. Little dam
age is liable to occur in houses except
in comparatively moist situations or

that an attempt would be made early
this morning to make the run out to
the spot where the cable had been
dropped and pick up the end. The
difficulty of this operation is apparent
when it is realized that the very first
thing to be done before the end is land
ed on the ship is to lower a boat for
the purpose of getting the buoy aboard

there is a fair sea. and the captain of

1t is estimated that it will take a

in the event that the sea will permit
the tackling of the job of lifting the
cable, this operation will consume,
with the splicing on of the intermedi-
ate cable, something like two hours,
and the chances are that eyel more
time will be consumed in making

RAVAGES OF SILVER FISH
RECEIVE OFFICIAL NOTICE
Little Wardrobe insect Which Has Been the Bane
of househoIders for Centuries Invites
Governmental Inspection.

| Commissioner of Agriculture Wray
Taylor has received from the Division
of Entomology of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, a report on
the silver fish, the insect which is the
bane of householders of Honolulu. Few
trunks, bureaus or war6robes are safe
from the assaults of this peculiar in
sect and the report gives remedies with
which to combat it.
This insect is often one of the most
troublesome enemies of books, papers,
card labels in museums and starched
clothing, and occasionally stored food
substances. It's peculiar fish-like form,
scaly. glistening body, together with
It's very rapid movements and active
efforts at concealment whenever it is
uncovered, have attached considerable
popular interest TO it. The peculiar
appearance of the common silver fish
early drew attention to it, and a fairly
accurate description of it, given in a
little work published in London in 1868
by the Royal Society, is as follows:
1t is a very small, silvery, shining
worm or moth which I found much con-
versant among books and papers, and
is supposed to be that which corrodes
and eats holes through the leaves and
covers. 1t appears to the naked eye
a small, glittering, pearl-colored moth.
which, upon the removing of books and
papers in the summer is often observed
very nimbly to scud and pack away to
some lurking Granny where it may bet
ter protect itself from any appearing
dangers. It's head appears big and
blunt, and its body tapers from it
toward the tail, smaller and smaller,
being shaped almost like a carrot.
On account of its always stunning
the light and its ability to run very
rapidly to places of concealment, it is
not often seen and is most difficult to
capture, and being clothed with smooth,
glistening scales. it will slip from be-
tween the fingers and is almost impos-
sible to secure without crushing or dam
aging. 1t is one of the most serious
