Victories of the
BartIettCure

one Of the great victories Of the
Bartlett Cure for alcoholism Is
that IL not only autidotes the
alcohol poisoning, burt leaves the
patient in splendid condition
physically. He feels well, strong
and hopeful, and with no appe-
tite for drink there is no tempta-
tion to return to the old habit.
This is why our patients do not
return to drink.
TO sum up in a few words, the
advantages of our treatment are:
First-It is taken at home,
without loss Of time and without
publicity. The patient is not
subjected to the shame insepara-
bly, connected with the notoriety
of an institute treatment. He Is
surrounded by all the comforts
and influences of his home. There
is no talk, no pain, no absence
from business, and above all and
beyond all, certainty of cure.
Second-There are no hypo-
dermic injections with their at
tendant evils and dangers.
Thlrd-It leaves the patient in
a splendid condition physically.
not only curing alcoholism but
correcting the diseases arising
therefrom.
Fourth-Notwithst the
fact that the results we obtain
are superior in every way, the
cost is very much less than the
ordinary institute charges.
There Is nothing disagreeable
about the medicine, nothing that
makes the patient sick, but he
gains strength and improves
from the first. There is no trying
ordeal in breaking off from
drink, as at the beginning of the
treatment we furnish a non-alco-
holic stimulant and tonic which
takes the place of the accustomed
drink until the medicines have
permeated the system and driven
away the desire for drink.
The directions are plain, sim
pie and easily followed and the
services of an expert are not
necessary to administer the
medicine. When these directions
are followed a cure will be eff
fected in every case.

Ever since the bark Wandering

Midway Isle in the late SOS. there has
been a series of marine disasters to
record in connection with the work OF
making the lonely sand island into an
important cable base. When the Pa
cifc Gable Company began it's work,
vessels were sent there with supplies
and materials. The schooner Julia
Whalen, of Marcus Island fame, was
wrecked on the island and all the
mishaps. The schooner Kennedy was
recently wrecked and lost on Laysan
while en- route to Midway with sup
plies. The cable steamer Scotia, en-
route to Midway with a years supplies
was wrecked on the island of Guam
and all the cargo lost. Steamers with
materials for either the cable people
or the guard of United States marines
have been unable at times to land the
freight owing to storms prevailing in
that region. And now comes the story
of trouble on the present voyage of
the Iroquois and Woodbury..

E'I am coming home''
These words, sung so beautifully
by Mr.. Butler at the union service last
night. were the expression of the long
ing of many hearts. It was the triumph
ant close of day that had been great
in results. At the mems meeting IN
the afternoon thirty men came for
ward and publicly slgnified their desire
TO live a Christian life. At the wom-
ems meeting a great spiritual upllft
was experienced. And last night many
rose to saw that they would henceforth
try to live Alright. The campaigners
are enthusiastic over the success of the
meetings.
1t is doubtful whether Central Union
Church ever held crowd as large as
that which packed it to the steps last
night. Tt is estimated that nearly two
thousand people found places IN the
auditorium. Many sat on the floor in
front of the rostrum and others On
the steps of the pulpit. Many others
stood along the walls or in the vest1-
bule. In the chapel Rev. j. W. Wad-
man addressed an overflow meeting at
tended by several hundred persons,
while it is thought that two hundred
were turned away, unable to find even
standing room at either service.
The singing last night was magnit-
cent. Mr. Hills injected enthusiasm
into the great audience and they sang
with a will. The work of the big
chorus in leading the singing was ex-
cellent More praises of the work of
Mr.. Hills and Mr.. Butler would be
mere pIatitudes. They swayed the con-
gregation at viii. DR.. Ostrom' s ad-
dress was IN many ways the strongest

yet simple and straight to the point,

LAST NIGHTS SERVICES.
Central Union Church was packed
long before the hour of opening and
the service was begun at 1920 by the
singing of Abide With Me-" The
choirs of five churches, the Kameha-
meha and other schools, directed by
Mr. Hills, led the singing. So large
was it that the choir loft was not large
ers and one row had to be seated on
the rostrum below. The second hymn
was Hallelujah, Thine the Glory
This was sung through, then the re-
frain was sung by sections of the con-
gregation-by the women, the men, the
people downstairs, the chorus and gal
lery 1t is doubtful whether a hymn
has been sung in Honolulu before with
more enthusiasm.
An earnest prayer by Rev. J. W.
Wadman was followed by another
hymn.
An offering for the incidental ex-
penses of the campaign was taken up
while the congregation sang "Jesus,
the Very Thought of Thee" Follow
ing the hymn DR.. Ostrom spoke of his
great hope for the campaign. He said
that never IN his experience had he
seen such a large proportion of men
come forward and resolve to begin
new life as he had seen at the after
noon mems meeting. Certainly he
never had seen men of so many nation
alities and callings. He was confident
that God had never given man such

ORIGIN OF LLOYO'S.
Humble Beginning of Esrope's Great
Maritime Agency.

Maritime Agency.
Two centuries ago q man who had
q cargo to send to the Mediterranean
contrived to get rid Of some of the risk
by inducing a friend to take an interest
with him. 1t was necessary to write
out q statement OF contract to which
the guarantors subscribed. This was
the first underwriting. These two men
happened to be frequenters of Iloyd's
coffee house In London, which was a
favorfte place for the merchants of the
town to gather to discuss business or t.
gossip.
Others Immediately saw the advan-
tage Of the scheme which their col
leagues had devised, and ON the next
voyage the risk was parceled out
among a larger number of the patrons
Of the coffee house.
Out Of this small beginning has
grown the great European maritime
agency, still bearing the name OF the
humble coffee house proprietor, and
which not only writes risks on vessels,
but rates them and publishes their ar
rivals ut every port the world over, no
matter how small or how remotely sit.
