DEVELOPMENT OF
CHILD'S MUSCLES

At the meeting of the Mothers and
Teachers Club yesterday afternoon in
the Y. ". c. ~ gymnasium, Rev. John
Hopwood gave a very interesting ad-
dress on Physical Exercise as a Fac
tor in the Development of the Child"
A large audience enjoyed the address
as well as excellent music by a girls
chorus from the Kamehameha School
and a delightful piano solo by Mrs. Row
Lyon, valued addition to HonoluIu,s
musical circles.
Mr.. Hopwood laid considerable strass
on the necessity of developing the
physical as we'll as the mental BODY of
a child, in order that it should grow nm
equally balanced in intelligence ana
health y healthy body generally
meant a healthy mentality. The faii-
ure to develop the muscles of the Young
was to stunt even the growth of the
mind
He also called attention to the desir-
ability of training muscles not always
brought into use in ordinary games.
1t was particularly desirable that young
children should have such muscles look
ed after.

Richardson writing on the Surgery of
the Commonwealth says, Richard
Wiseman had a firm faith in the eff
cacy of the royal touch for the cure of
scrofula. The cure, says Wiseman, can
be done without the sign of the cross,
and he has himself been eyewitness
of many hundred cures by his majes-
tvs touch alone. Then as now there
were those who thought with Epichar-

scepticism to be the sinews of the un-

SHALL We DISPUTE
The Opinions of Scores of
Our Fellow Citizens.

Residents of Honolulu, like other
American citizens, in making an In
vestment want to be sure of getting the
worth of their money. They want to
know all the why's and wherefores. and
in a direct ratio to the value of the in
vestment they burrow and ferret until
satisfied with the collateral. Take an
instance in the realm of proprietary
articles. If We know or friend who
has been cured we have some faith in
the preparation; if we know of two or
three our faith increases. If the cures
reach scores all we'll known citizens,
anyone who still maintains that there
is nothing beyond ordinary merit in
the said preparation. can safely be left
to the care of his fellow taxpayers. If
he wishes to pick a quarrel with them
on the question of their judgment and
veracity, he has ample opportunity in
Honolulu to do so. Begin with this
case.

WANTS CANTEEN BACK.
General Baldwin Attributes Desertions
to Saloon Influences.

Denver. Sept. 17.-Brigadier General
Frank D. Baldwin, commanding the
department of the Colorado, has for
warded his annual report to the secre-
tary of war. The report says that sa-
looms and questionable resorts near the
barracks are responsible for the large
number of assertions from the regular
army in the department of the Color
ado. The total assertions duking the
year closing August Is were 1913. The
report says:
These assertions can be in large part
attributed to the nalign influence of
saloons and brothels situated near the
reservations, seducing enlisted men
from the paths of decency. This is
only another of the many arguments
in favor of restoring to the army the
canteen which provided places of
amusements under restraining, decent
and orderly influences.
81 trust that the sale of beer and
light wines, under proper restrictions,
may be again authorized in the post
exchange. If men are unable to get a
glass of beer in a decent and orderly
manner in the garrison, they will re-
sort to the brothels which cluster
around the borders of the reservations,
where. they drink all manner of alco-
holic beverages and often sink into de-
bauchery and ruin.
