1t Takes
Nerve

Everything depends upon
your nerves. 1t is nerve force
that causes the brain to direct
the motion of your body; it is
nerve force that causes your
heart to pulsate, and send the
blood through your veins; it
is nerve force that causes your
stomach to digest food, your
kidneys to filter the blood, and
the liver to secrete bile.
In fact, nerve force is the
power that runs your body, so
if you feel worn-out, irritable,
nervous, cannot sleep, or eat
we'll, have pain or misery
anywhere, your nerves are
weak, and your system run
down. To restore this vitality
take DR.. Miles Nervine which
will strengthen and build up
the nerves. You cannot be
healthy without strong nerves.
For eighteen years DIR. Miles
Nervine and Anti-Pain Pills have been
my close companions. Early in mar
ried life, while raising children, my
nerves became all worm -out--could not
sleep; had no appetite; indigestion
very bad. and had such awful dizzy
spells. Then 1 began using DIR. Miles,
Nervine, and at once l began to inn
prove. and soon found myself in
perfect health"

RAILROAD OFFICIAL RETURNS
FROM ISLANDS
w. A. whitney Of Cheyenne, Wyoming,
Declares Honolulu Best Place for
Residence, Win Exception
Of Los Angeles

w. A. whitney, superintendent OF the
Union Pacific railroad with headquar-
tiers at Chyenne, Wyo., and brother
of c. S. Whitney, who Is the local
agency director for the New York Lie
Insurance company, is in Los Angeles,
having Just returned from honolulu
where he spent two months. HIS NlslI
to Hawaii was for the purpose of re-
Cuperating after an illness.
Mr.. whitney is OF the opinion That
there is a great future in store for the
islands on account of the growing IN
Custry Of raising pineapples, and that
the only drawback will be the scarcity
OF laborers.
In talking last night about the fa-
cilities of Honolulu and it's industries,
Mr.. Whitney said:
"If person ever becomes tired OF
California and wants change and yet
desires to live in q tropical climate,
he does not want to miss going TO
Honolulu. 1t is one of the cleanest
cities was ever in and the climate Is
delightful
',They have the best electric street
railway OF any city except Los Ange-
les and the cars are always on time
The cars are kept clean and the road
bed is rock ballasted. All Of the mo-
tormen are Americans but once in
while you see a native conductor.
remarkable thing L ever saw. They
are all narrow gauge but train is
never late. They have separate
coaches for the first and second class
passengers.
1.-THE roads are kept up in fine shape
and automobiling is very popular.
They spend thousands of dollars every
year in grading these roads and they
sprinkle them every day.
The Chinese seem to be the leading
race as far as numbers go and they
give promise of soon controlling the
meat output. They are a more intel
Jigent class than that which comes to
this country and are turning their at
tention to every industry. They have
become expert mechanics, and the jew
elers are equally as good as American
jewelers..
1.-THE main hotel at Honolulu covers
nearly half a, block and would compare
favorably with the best hotels in Los
Angeles. The dwelling houses of the
Americans and the better class of the
natives are commodious. Nearly every
house is surrounded by a large lawn
and has garden containing fruit trees
of many varieties"
When asked as to what were the
leading Industries, Mr. Whitney stated
that the sugar production leads but
that the pineapple plantations are be-
ing improved and give promise of be-
coming of great value. He said that
one sugar plantation now uses 900
gallons of water a day pumped at a
daily expense of $1,000 for irrigation
purposes. This a larger quantity of
water than is used in San Francisco in
one day.
81 believe" continued Mr.. Whitney
"that there will be lots of money made
in the next few years from the pine
apple plantations. would have bought
a plantation myself if I had not
thought the land was too high for a
man living in this country to own"
Mr.. Whitney will return to his du-
ties at Cheyenne some time next week.

SAYS HIS WIFE BEAT HIM
c. Carlson Alleges His Spouse Struck
Him on the Head With Pair
of OveralIs

Judge, I'll tell you frankly, I'd rather
serve term in San Quentin than live
with that woman again. She never
loved me and I have ceased to love
her, and whether the divorce is granted
or not I will not have that woman for
my wife"
This statement was made by c. Carl
sen yesterday while testifying in his
suit against his wife, Marietta C. Carl
sen for divorce.
Separation on the grounds of cruelty
and failure to provide was asked for
by the wife and cross complaint was
filed by the husband alleging cruelty
and laziness on the part of his WIFE
1t was proved by means of a number
of witnesses that Mrs. Carlsen had re-
peatedly struck her husband On one
occasion it was shown that she caressed
him with n pair of overalls admins
tered at intervals to his head. and that
he had slapped her to teach her better
manners.
Carlson asserted that he had rea-
soned with his wife and had told her
that it was not the custom in polite
circles for the wife to strike her hus-
band with a pair of overaIls
II told her that if she had to hit
me, to do it with plate or a natiron
or something gentee.
j am not proud nor have a naughty
HpiIll' puL even 1 draw the line some
where and 1t has been drawn by me
never to be erased"
Besides the overalls it was alleged
that poker, dishpan and a cordwood
stick had been used as weapons by
Mrs. CarlSen.
Judge Monroe, who tried the case.
said that while he did not believe that
the couple would ever life together
again, he could not conscientiously
grant the decree for the reason that
both parties had committed battery on
the person of the other, and so they
must remain married.

GROCERS FIGHTING PEDDLERS
Entire Business District of
the Cjtv

A blow aimed at the peddlers who
sell oranges and other fruits from the
tail end of a cart was struck by the
retail grocers yesterday morning. A
number of grocers petitioned the legis-
lative committee to extend the peddling
zone to include the entire business dis
trict of the city.
The grocers represented that they
paid rent, taxes and licenses, while
hucksters escaped most of these ex-
penses and undersold the grocers by
retailing an inferior grade of fruit The
committee was inclined to agree with
the grocers but postponed action on the
case.

The most celebre of these was
the case of VIM. Bothick, charged
with murder. Bothick is young
New Orleans boy who, while work.
ing in a lumber camp near Mel
vile, killed fellow-Workman mann
ed King. He claims the killing
was accidental. His faithful moth
er and sister came from New Or
leans and remained by the pris-
oner during the entire proceedings.
We understand the jury stood six
for acquittal and six for a verdict
for mans1aughter.
The other was the case against
Felicien Ardoin, for assault with
intent to commit rape. The jury
in this case, we are informed, stood
seven for conviction and five for
acquittal.
Ernest Guidry was acquitted OF
the charge of stabbing with intent
to commit murder.
The case of Ell. III. Hare, charged
with horse stealing, was nolle
pressed by the District Attorney.
The District Attorney fled bill

charge OF rape, and sentenced to
life imprisonment. He was gram
ted new trial by Judge Lewis,
and at this term was tried on the
charge of assault with intent to
commit rape and convicted and
sentenced as above mentioned. His
plea is that he wac drunk at the

His Honor said that he believed
such to be the case, and for that
reason would exercise clemency.
