Some of the improvement is owing to
the use of the latest types of machin-

is due to the improved morale of the

GIVES VITALITY, VIGOR AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND
RUNDOWN WOMEN.

It is maintained by many distinguish
ed writer's that the greatness of nation
depends much upon the physical condi-
ton of its women. The general cOndi-
lions which contribute to health and
long life, are those which do not imply
q rapid and unequal exhaustion of those
powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women of oul
land stand peerless for beauty and the
virtues that make them lovable we can
not hide the fact that there are thous-
ands in our midst who. owing 10 over
work, worry, household cares, and an
unequal exhaustion of life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleepless and de-
bilitated
we bring to the attention of all
weary, respondent, hopeless, and siekly
women earth's great rescuer and health

Thousands of healthy women around Us

me out Of one faint I was in another.
I could not take any nourishment. and
doctors medicines did me no good. A
friend advised my husband to get me
bottle of Paine's Celery Compound,
which he did, but had no faith in it. The
second day after taking the Compound,
began to get real hungry and took an
interest in things. I had everything
that money and loving care could sup
ply, and with that and Paine's Celery
Compound, l am now doing my own
work. while three months ago I was
almost in the grave. I know that I owe
my health and strength to Paine's Gel
cry Compound and shall always recon-
mend it."

at this time what will the next |
development in the political situa-

Rule ranks seems to be permanent
and the young Hawaians with
Prince Cupid as their leader talk Of
organizing new political party,
A meeting was held, last night,
at Foster Hail by the progressive
element Of the Home Rule party,
and although Robert Wilcox was in
room adjoining, speeches de-
nouncing the Delegate aad Senator
Kalauokalani were enthusiastically
applauded.
Prince Cupid received the en-
dorsement OF the bolters, who urged
him to run 10 the race for Delegate
and promised him their united su,-
port. The Prince announced 10
strong terms, amid thunderous ap-
plause, that he could never go back
to the Home Rule Camp.
He said that he had lowered him
self once by going TO Kalauokalaui
and shaking his hand, thinking that
there by Kalauokalani would keep
faith with him. Kalauoka ami had
broken .ith and never more would
he go back to affiliate with such a
man. To go and shake hands
again with him and the Delegate
would be TO lower himself in his
own estimation aud that OF his peo.
pie. He would not be dog.
