THE EASY PILL

~ q.
n Dewitts Little EARLY Risers sd do
not grippe nor weaken the system
They cure biliousneas, jaundice,
!constipatin and inactive liver by
arousing the secretions, moving the
bowels gently, yet ehectually, and
giving such one and strength to the
glands of the stomach, liver and
bowels that the cause Of the trouble
'is removed entirely. These famous
little pills exert a decided tonic
effect upon the orgns involved and,
Iif their use is continued for q few
days there will be no return Of the
trouble. All Druggists. =. -.

Eyes, I believe that a diver gets
e15 a day for his work down on the
bottom of the dock but he runs the
risk of losing his life fifteen times
for every dollar he receives, " said a
man on one of the new Bishop estate
wharves recently, as he watched the
bubbles coming up. The water
bubbles indicate where q diver was
at work in thirty feet of water
mud for the the tide rushing into
| the new dock kept the water black
during ths J. greater ssas = portion a 81 the
time. A small barge was moored
near the bubbles and on this two
men were busily grinding away at
the pumps which supplied the diver
with air. Near the ladder which goes
down into the water from the end
of the barge sits man with rope
IN his hand. The diver signals his
wants on this rope, and the man
sitting there carries them out.
The work being done by the diver is
that of placing new copper sheath.
ing on the piles where it has been
torn off through driving them into
the coral. He has to do his work
entirely by feeling, as it is imposs-
ible for him to see through the mud.
When he wishes piece of copper
four inches square, or any other size
to cover break in tho sheathing,
he signals the size up by jerks on
the rope. Then the copper is cut
and sent down to him. Nothing
can be seen of his work above the
water except the rising bubbles,
and all that can be heard is dull
thud when he hurls his hammer in
the mud and drives nail ''home"
through the sheathing and piling.
The diver employed is one of the
Oldest in Honolulu. He is, of course,
encased in Divers armor, but it is
remarkable even then the length
IF time he is capable Of staying
under at his work. sometimes he
only stays underneath the surface
a couple of hours, but ofttimes he
remains under the the surface for
six CT seven hours. A rubber pipe
leads from the barge pump to his
armor, and through this air is
forced. It leaves the air-tight
armor suit through cap in the
divers helmet, and such force is
used in sending the air through that
he has new air to breathe about
every second. After leaving the
helmet the air goes into the water
with such force that as it rises to
the surface it stirs the water up to
such an extent that one would i'm
agine that a steamers propeller was
working down below instead Of q
man.-Honolulu Advertiser.

II Isn't a Snap.

Editing this paper is nice thing.
If we publish jokes people say we are
rattle-brained. If we don't we are
old fossils If we publish original
matter they say we do not give them
enough selections. If we give them
selections they say we are too lazy to
write. If we don't go to church we
are heathens. Ii we do we are hypo-
critics. If we remain in the Office we
ought to go out and hustle for news
items. If we go out then we are not
attending to our business. If we wear
old clothes they laugh at us. If we
wear good clothes they say we have a
pull. " Now what are we to do?
Just as likely as not some will
say we stole this article from an ex-
change, and so we did. But it is a
good thing, so pass it along.

WILL SEND $500 FREE
franklin Miles, N. o., L. L. B., the ceie-
brated Chicago Specialist, will Send
$500 Worth Of His New Special
Treatment Free to Each Of our
Readers,

When an experienced physician
offers to give away 5000 worth of a
New Treatment for diseases of the
heart, nerves, stomach or dropsy, it is
conclusive evidence that he has great
faith in it. And when hundreds of
prominent people freely testify to his
unusual skill and the superiority of
his New Special Treatment, his liber-
atty is certainly worthy of serious
consideration.
That DR.. Miles is one of the world S
most successful physicians is proven
by hundreds Of testimonials from we'll
known people. One patient cured
after failure of eleven Grand Rapids
physicians, two after being given up
by six and seven Chicago physicians,
another after nine leading doctors in
New York City, Philadelphia and
Chicago failed. 1000 testimonials sent
upon request.
The eminent Rev. w. Bell, d. d. #,
of Dayton, o.. Gen. Sec'y of Foreign
Missions, writes editorially III The
State Sudnday School Union: "We
desire to state that from personal &C.
quaintance we know DR.. Miles to be
a most skillful specialist man who
has spared neither labor nor money to
keep himself abreast of the great adj
vancement in medical science. "
Mrs Lucy Temple, wife of the Just
ice of Peace of Lettis, Ia, was i'll for
years from disease of the lungs, heart,
stomach, head and back, and was
cured by DR.. Miles New Special
Treatment. She writes: q have
given birth to two children since treat
merit and my heart has not troubled
me. " Mrs. Laura Reed, of Bear
Grove, Ia, who had been treated for
serious nervous trouble, writes to a
friend: "God bless Dr. Miles. Put
yourself in mis- hands / think he
will cure you. " Mrs Alice Baxter,
of What Cheer, Ia, was treated by
DIR. Miles for nervous prostration and
poor circulation, and afterwards
stated, Especial Treatment helped me
wonderfully. This new System of
Special Treatment is thoroughly
scientific and immensely superior to
the ordinary methods.
AS all afflicted readers may have
"a. 90 worth Of treatment free, we
would advise them to send for it at
once. Address. DR.. Franklin Miles,
POI to 2l5 State Street, Chicago, Ill.

Atkins a Candidate.

W. T. Atkins of Selma, one of the best known travelling salesmen In Alabama, has announced that he will be a candi- date for a position on the Alabama rail- road commission, to be elected in Novem- today and authorized this statement. Ice said that he had received very encourage ing offers of support from seventeen counties in the state even before he had thought of entering the contest.
 The announcement of MT. Atkins and the presence of Robert J. Lowe of Jeff ferson at the capital today caused a gen. eral discussion of the probable candidates for the commissionerships. MT. Lowe has not announced his candidacy, but his friends have been urging him to make the race since his failure of appointment on the present board, and 1t Is not unlikely that he will become a candidate. "If Bob Lowe enters the contest ne will be a factor, for there is strong backing for him in Alabama for any position that he may seek,' was the way a well-in- formed official put the case today Mir. Lowe, with his family, was en route to Roseland, his beautiful country home at Eufaula.
 As a matter of course the woods will be flooded with candidates for positions on the next commission. So far as known here MT. Atkins Is the only announced candidate, but the members of the pres ent commission are almost certain to ask for an election by the people, and all of them strong men, they would make 1t lively for another to get one of the jobs.

Montgomery, May 15.-(Special.) 1.-The state text book commission met in ad- journed session today for the purpose of hearing additional arguments from tho various book men who have submitted bids to furnish text books for the state. The usual array of book men was at the capital, and the entire day was given over by the commission to hearing com plimentary things said about different text books. The hearing will not be con- cluded possibly before next Saturday night.
 Both commissions were In session to- day, and as soon as the arguments are concluded the sub-commission will begin a personal examination of the books. The commission is having a hot contest on for the positions of Repositories. It is generally conceded that three state Repositories are to be establish ed-one each in Birmingham, Montgom- cry and Mobile. At these Repositories the various publishers receiving contracts will keep large supplies of books to sup- ply the various county Repositories. It Is not improbable that the commission may permit the different book concerns to agree among themselves as to the de- positories.
