Topeka Drug Co.:
Dear Sirs-As San Francisco drug
gists personally acquainted with the
facts we are asked to certify to you
the durability of chronic Bright's Dis
ease and Diabetes, and however I'M
reasonable it may seem to you yet such
is the fact. Up to a year ago We never
heard of a genuine case of chronic
Bright's Disease or Diabetes recover
ing Now it is a common occurrence
in this city. A great discovery has I'M
douDtedly been made. Many prolni-
nent people here have recovered and
every one of us whose names are ap-
pended hereto have either had recov-
cries among our customers or have
genuine chronic cases now recovering.
And the percentage of efficiency seems
to be very high, for there are very few
failures. Yours. etc.

mechanics, etc., from 81 to 81 per

here.
To sum up what has been done with
in the last year: The native officials,
while still far from being efficient in

vanced somewhat The greater part of
the people obey the laws and, l think,

to the United States. They have gath

ting a higher price this year than ever
before. Practically there has been
peace for two years in the islands-a
rather long period Of quletude for
Samoa. The natives have made fair
beginning at bodybuilding. There is
quite a trade In curios, such as tappa
cloth, mats, baskets shells, etc, with
passengers on the steamers which stop
here both ways every three weeks on
the route from San Francisco to sgd
ney. The natives are prosperous and
happy. They are naturally suspicious
of white people and in the pnst have
been cheated by traders. 1t is hoped
that by fair dealing and by kindness

The Manua group has always been

people Of those Islands have an exalted
idea Of their importance. Their head

BY order of the Secretary of the
Navy, with the approval of the Presl.
dent, no license to sell liquors can be
given in the islands. A little liquor is
imported, by the few whites here by
specific written permission Of the Com.

not as a rule, take to intoxicants. A
little liquor is probably smuggled in by
each steamer, but there is not much

about thirty years ago, but it is only
within the last ten or twelve years
that they have done much work.

THE Mormons are still here; they are

tell me how l am to get them out Of

He wrote that he gave 1t up.
Very recently 1t came to my notice
that in some of the villages there was
an old law or custom that If n man
belonged to the London Mission Soci
ety's church and changed his religion
TO any other, such as Catholic or Nor

All kinds Of early crops that are to

be hastened by starting them in hot

work will not be laborious II attention
is now given the carly crops. The adj

Whenever occasion offers the natives
are Informed that selling their copra
to traders at one to one and one-half
cents per pound is practically giving
the trader half of their produce. The
reasons given by one Of the chiefs,
when asked why he refused to obey the
order to cut out copra and was advis-
ing others to disobey the order, were:
THE natives Of the Manua group (sev-
enty miles east had insulted the Tu-

for It; therefore, until the Manua peo-
pie were punished, he would not obey
the order" Also This tax was only

kernel Of the cocoanut, used for max
ing oil, which is used in the finer quail
tiles of soap).
The chiefs in the different districts
recommended the amount Of tax to be
collected, and this amount was ordered
levied. The assessment this year was
$4,000 pounds of copra. The islands
produce-if 1t were all gathered-prob-
ably twice that amount.
The price obtained was higher than
expected being about 81 cents per
pound; so that the total tax amounts
to about $4,000. About fifty per cent
