The Royal Month and the Roy a
Disease,


Sudden changes of weather are es-
pecially trying, and probably to none
more so than to the scrofulous and con
sumptive. The progress of scrofula dur
ing anormal October is commonly great.
We never think of scrofula-its punches,
cutaneous eruptiOns, and wasting of the
bodily without thinking of
the great good many sufferers from it
have derived from Hoods Sarsaparilla,
whose radical and permanent cures of
this one disease are enough to make it
the most famous medicine in the world
There is probable not a city or town
where Hood Sarsaparilla has not prov
ed its merit in more homes than one, in
arresting and completely eradicating
scrofula, which is almost a serious and
as much to be feared as its near relative,
consumption.

TERRITORY MAY
NOT GRANT SITE
MANY THINK PROPOSED CUSTOM
HOUSE ADDITION SHOULD BE
RESERVED FOR SLIPS.

There is a likelihood of disagreement
when the recommendation of the gov
ernors committee concerning the pro-
posed additions to the present Custom
House site is submitted to the other
bodies cooperating in the selection of
sites.
The addition as brought forward by
George r. Carter in a motion at Satur-
days meeting was to add to the present
site blocks %, 80 and 80 of the esplana-
de as laid down on the underwriters
maps of the city property now belong
ing to the territorial government. The
present custom house would then be
pulled down and rebuilt in the center of
this space, either as a building for the
customs department alone or one fede
raj building to include all federal offices
according to the appropriations made
by Congress. The territorial govern
ment was to be asked to make over the
blocks to the federal government, which
would, according to existing regulations
allow the territorial government the
option of using the property until such
time as the federal department would
require 1t when ninety days notice
would terminate the lease. The space
around the building was to be parked.
When the result of the committees
deliberations became known on Satur-
siderable adverse opinion was express
ed. The proposed addition would carry
the site back to the fishmarket taking
up all of the jog of land Waikiki of Fort
street in the harbOr front on which the
custom house. some small warehouses
and coal and lumber piles are situated
and on which the inter-island and Pa
cific Mall wharves abut. 1t isb elieved
that forthcoming traffic after the canal
Is opened and when the naval and mill
tary stations bring traffic in their train
with the new lines of steamers to fol-
low the cable and the shipping now
waiting for the canal to be cut begins
to arrive 1t will be necessary to cut
| new slips to accommodate them and
these slips for the benefit of the pub
lie and steamer interests should be
parallel to those of the naval station
in which case they would cut into the
blocks proposed for an addition to the
site. 1T is stated that this is the In
tentlon of Superintendent of Public
Works Cooper and that the territorial
government will not. for this reason,
feel like making over this particular
land for federal building.
Commissioner Eustis this morning
stated that he thought the forthcoming
| traffic should be provided for and that
II the blocks proposed were thought to

be the best for such slips they ought to
be laid aside for the purpose. This is
matter for discussion with Mr.. Coop
err however" said Mr. Eustis, "but 1
have heard several say that they think
slips should be and would be made in
that locality. Mr.. Eustis does not now
expect to get away before January 8
but thinks that that date will not be too
late to effect what heb opes to do. "All
congressman will be occupied around
the Christmas and New Year holidays
and we shall not lose very much"
There will be a meeting of the COM
mittee this afternoon when the ques-
ton of the slips will be taken up. Mr..
Thurston is endeavoring 20 make ar
rangements with the Bishop Estate
trustees today that he can submit to
superintendent Cooper and Governor
Dole for their approval. The question
of appraisement of exchange lands is
the hitch at present, the Bishop Estate
wishing to retain their own nominees to
make the valuation.

vain to give me relief. A friend then induced
me to try Ayers Sarsaparilla, for it had done
him much good. The first bottle worked
wonders for me. Soon my appetite came
back, my indigestion was cured and was

G amt Eat

You certainly don't want to eat if
you are not hungry. But you must
eat, and you must digest your food,
too. If not, you will become weak,
pale, thin. Good food, good appetite,
good digestion, these are essential.

There Is no disease so common in the United
States as Catarrh. because it appears In so many
forms and attacks many different organs
1t is common mistake to suppose that catarrb
is confined to the and throat. Any inflamma-
ton Of the mucous membrane wherever located, ac-
comDanied by abnormal secretions, is catarrh Ca
tarrh of stomach bladder intestines is nearly
as common rs nasal catarrh and much seri-
Gus. although 1t is true that stomach catarrh and
catarrh Of other internal organs is the result Of
neglected nasal catarrh
new remedy has recently appeared which so
far as tested seems TO be remarkably effective in
promptly curing eatarrh, wherever located The
preparation Is sold by druggists generally under
name Of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and in addition
to being very pdlatabe and convenient possesses
extraordinary merit, in many cases giving imme-
dlate relief from the coughing, hawking and con-
ntant clearing of the throat and head those symn-
toms with which every one is familiar who has
ever suffered from colds in the head and throat.
Catarrh is simply continuation of these svmn-
toms until the trouble becomes chronic and grows
gradually from year to year.
Stuart's Catar-h Tablets are COMPOSED Of Hvdras
tin, Red Gum and similar antiseptics and catarrh
specifies. from which 1t will be seen that no Sc
cret is made of the ingredients and also that no
mineral Doisons are used, is the case with
many well-known catarrh medicines.
For eatarrh of the nose, throat bronchial tubes
for catarrh of stomach, intestines or bladder no
preparation is safe and gives such rapid and
permanent results as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
All druggists sell them at 50c for full-sized
package. You use them with assurance that
you will not contract the cocaine or morphine
