Vitality.
Ask any friend who looks thin, pale,
and out of health how many meals he or
she eats day. and the chances are that
the answer will be "Not over two. and
don't feel hungry then" The plump,
rosv. and robust eat three square meals
daily. and their perfect health is due to
strong stomach and digestive system, as
such a system takes out of the food all
those elements that make pure blood, and
olive nourishment and vitality to the
body. -,
The one appetizer and tonic that
sbould he taken is Mona, the only
agent known that will strengthen the
stomach and digestive system, and put
them in such perfect working order that
they will digest easily and naturally all
the food that is eaten, and send you to
the table positively hungry tor the next
meal
Without a strong stomach digestion
will be poor, the blood impure, and seri-
Gus liver and kidney troubles result
causing headaches, backaches, spots be-
fore the eyes. dizziness, sleeplessness,
nervousness, irritableness, a furred tongue
and bad breath. all of which can DC
readily overcome by the use of Mi-c-i1a
Costing but SOC box,l as it goes righ'
to the foundation of perfect health, the
stomach.
Scores of leading people in this state
including editors, ministers, bankers ane
their families, gladly testify to the tonic
strengthening and health-giving effects
of Mona. Furthermore, W. B. East
man. one of the most reliable druggists
in this section, sells Mi-o-na under
guarantee to refund the money if it doe
not produce satisfactory results.

did not believe in going up there and
doing nothing.
Dowsett did not think the cost of the
trip too great and the payment of half
by the Senate would be a happy solu-
ton of previous difficulty over the mat
ter.
McCandless did not think there was
anything to smooth over. The House
could easily have amended the joint
resolution sent it by the Senate. If
the House did not want the Senate to
go, the Senate might as well stay at
home. There would be no difficulty for
the Senate to get a steamer if they
thought necessary to go. No notice
of any difficulties at the Settlement
had been received by the Senate, but
the House committee had a number of
complaints.

AT ERNOON SESSION
SENATE

One of the first matters coming up
in the Senate this afternoon was the
legislative trip to MololIai, as engineer
ed by the House of Representatives. 1t
was introduced in a communicated in
vitation from the House, asking the
members of the Senate to join the
House committee on a visit to the Lee
per Settlement, Molokai, on Saturday
evening the 18th inst After some dis
cussion the invitation was referred to
the Senate health committee.
Dowsett was first to speak. In view
of the fact that an invitation had been
extended to them, he thought it should
be accepted by the Senate and that
they pay one-half of the expenses, said
to be $780, and that fifty permits should
be granted to the Senate.
Dickey thought that as the Senate
had but half as many members as the
House it should stand a smaller appro-
priation for expenses. 1t would be fair
enough If the expenses of the trip were
borne one-third by the Senate and two
thirds by the House. He moved an
amendment that the Senate offer to
pay 5000 of the expenses.
Achi moved that the invitation be
referred to the Senate health COM
mittee to make arrangements with the
House committee. If they decided on
something not acceptable to the house
the House might table it, 1t looked to
him they were going to the settlement
as guests of tn House. Had they a
right as guests to go up there and

LOCAL IMPORTERS
LOSE BIC DUTY
SUPREME COURT DECIDES THAT
GUNNY BAGS MUST PAY DUTY
ON HIGH RATES OF EXCHANGE

A decision of special interest to the
local sugar planters has been received
through the newspaper files. The de-
cision is in relation to the value Of
gunny bags based i'm the rate of ex-
change on the Indian rupee, which is
the basis of valuation. Between $780,
600 and 100000 worth Of gunny bags
are imported into the islands from
India by the sugar planters every year.
II has been contended that the valua-
tion of these bags in rupees should be
on the basis of a 20 cent rate of eX
cnange of the rupee which is a silver
CON. But the comptroller of the trea-
sury decided that the rupee was valued
at 30. AS cents in exchange so the Sc
cretary of the Treasury required that
the goods be liquidated at this value
which was about Is per cent more than
low rate of exchange on the rupee.
The local importers did not take an
appeal but a Baltimore firm did. The
recent decision by the Supreme Court
is as follows:
WASHINGTON, February 27-In an
opinion by Justice Holmes, the SUI
preme Court of the United States to-
day upheld the right of the Secretary
of the Treasury to reliquidate the eX-
change value Of Indian rupees i'm con-
nection with valuations of merchandise
for the payment OF duties on imports.
The case i'm which the opinion was rem
dered is that of the United States VS..
Whitridge White & Co.. involving the
valuation of a largo Of gunny sacks
imported from India and received at
the port of Baltimore i'm 1901.
1.-The Collector in imposing duty fix
ed the exchange value of the rupee, in
which denomination Of Indian coin the
goods were valued at 20 cents, the me-
tai value of the coin. The Secretary
ordered a reliquidatiOn fixing the value
at 80 cents. The United States Circuit
Court of Appeals for the Fourth Cir
cult overruled this action, but tOdays
decision reversed that decision and sus-
tanned the Secretary.
1T is stated at the Treasury De-
partment that if the rupee decision
had been against the Government the
refund of excess duties to importers
would have amounted to between 49,
100000 and $4OOO,OOO.

decision been i'm their favor there

say:
Industrial commercial and agricultural
progress continues satisfactory Nothing
has occurred to weaken confidence, the
disposition being to extend plans further
into the future and many plants have
their facilities engaged well into next
year. Johbcrs have secured much more
forward business than at this date last
year, especially in dry goods lines, and
the frequent reminders of autumn tom
pcraturc stimulate retail distribution of
wearing apparel. Thus far the weather
has not been cold enough to harm the
crops that remain to be harvested and
another week of favorable conditions
should assure an unprecedented yield of
corn. Several settlements maintain labor
disputes at a minimum and mercantile
collections continue prompt. A few COM
