WHAT is PAIN BALM?

Chamberlain's Pain Balm is a lini-
ment, and while adapted to I'll the or
binary uses of liniment, las qualities

this remedy has effected cure when
the sufferer had previously tried the
best medical service without securing
relief. Pain Balm is positively guaran-
teed to give relief in the most severe
cases of chronic or acute rheumatism.
Pain Balm heals bruises, burns and
scalds in less time than any other treat
ment. 1t is "antiseptic." that is, it
prevents putrefaction, and by so doing
generally prevents an unsightly scar
remaining after the injury is healed.

MUST
HAVE PAIAI
Board of Health
Looking Into
Matter.
One Shipment of Food
That Did Not
Arrive.
If KaIua Releases His Contract
His Bondsmen viii
Be Sued.

There was just the suggestion of
paiai shortage at the Leper Settlement
on Molokai revealed at the meeting
of the Board of Health yesterday af-
ternoon. 1t was not shown that
there was a shortage, or that there had
been, but a letter from Superintendent
McVeigh related that an expected
shipment of paiai had not arrived on
the day scheduled, and the Superin-
tendent wanted to know whether J.
W. Kalua had thrown up his contract
to supply the afflicted with this i'm
portant food product-and, if he had,
then how the matter of supply should
be met in some other way. Kalua's
contract runs until the first of July
next and the executive officer of the
Board of Health was instructed to
send a wireless message to that gen.
tleman to know what his intentions
were. If he does intend to throw up
his contract, it was the sense Of the
Board that proceedings will be taken
against his bondsmen-and, in the
meantime, another paiai supply must
be looked after.
Another letter from Superintendent
McVeigh complained that there were
at the settlement a lot of kokuas out
of a job-those who had seen the
death of the lepers they had been sent
there to look after-and as these were
little better than Migrants and were
in fact something of burden upon the
place, it was decided to enforce the
rules and get rid of all those for whom !
there was no employment.

DRANK POISON,

We are called on to record a most
terribly sad accident. Harry Burke,
II years of age, son of Henry Burke,
who lives some FIVE miles southeast of
Denver, was cutting ice with other
men on Crane Greek, near the Crane
Greek creamery. Harry was sent to
the creamery coal shed for shovel
He got his shovel and then went to
the creamery and asked the butter
maker for drink of butter milk
The buttermaker said he had just
filled jug for the mail carrier which
stood in another room. The boy
stepped into the other room, picked
up jug, took swallow before he
discovered that he had the wrong Jug
He had taken the jug containing the
testing acid. The boy suffered terrib-
ly for nearly % hours until he was re-
lieved by death at about noon Tues
day. At this distance, and from what
we can learn of the case, it looks as
if there was something akin to Grim
inal carelessness in connection with
this sad affair. The idea of having
the jug with a deadly poison standing

HEART DISEASE CURED

A $500 TREATMENT FREE.

No death comes more suddenly than
that from heart disease. Thousands
die unnecessarily each year because
most physicians do not understand
these troubles. Startling improve

few years in the treatment of heart
disease Formerly digitalis was the

employ eighteen heart remedies to
cure with certainty the many forms
of heart trouble.

are men who, if they never Travelled by
train, would never know by actual eX-
perience anything about those below
them in position. But for this meeting
ground the working classes would re-
main for them simply a picture or a
problem. They see crowd in the street:
they discuss wages or the housing
question; they admire the toiling figure
OF farm labOrer thrown into relief by
sunset, and wonder, from an aesthetic
point Of view, why any one should pre-
Ter to live in slum. Beyond this they
know nothing. With the appearance
Of their domestic servants they are, of

little OF their personalities Again.
