A DANGEROUS HABIT.
diadstone's Physician Gives Warm
ing Against Growing American
| Custom

ing Against a Growing American
Custom.
The growing habit amongst Amer
leans of taking mint tablet or some
other so called digestive after eating a
hearty meal is something that Sir
Andrew Clarke, Mr. Gladstonc's ply
sician advises strongly against, says:
'It Is absolutely dangerous to take into
the stomach remedies which are popular
ly supposed to aid in the digestion of
food"
There is nothing known to the science
of medicine that can perform the work
of the human stomach. Drugs do not
and cannot digest the food They simp-
ly decompose it. What can be more re-
voting or disgusting than the thought Of
taking something into the stomach that
is going to turn the good food you have
eaten into a mass of corruption.
The only way to overcome indiges-
ton and its evil effects is to remove all
irritation. Congestion and inflammation
from the stomach, liver and intestines,
and Ml-o-na Is the only agent known
that will do this.
When a Mi-o-na tablet is taken before
each meal every trace of irritation and
inflammation is removed from the stom-
ach and digestive system, and those
organs will extract from the food all that
goes to make good, rich blood, firm
muscle, steady nerves and asound healthy
body. Ii you suffer with headaches, in
digestion, fatuiency, spots before the
eyes, vertigo, or dizziness, palpitation of
the heart sleeplessness, or any stomach
trouble, get fifty cent box Of Mi-o-na
from l.. Taggart one Of our most reliable
druggist, whose faith in the remedy is
shown by his offer to return the money
if Mi-o-no does not give complete salts

the meeting of the executive commit

Wednesday. 1t seems that there had
been plan on foot to reorganize the
Police, Ere and Garbage and Road De-

who had not supported the straight
Republican ticket in the county cleo
tion, and filling their places with party
workers, without much regard to any
qualification other than party standing
If that is a qualification.
Thus, the county committee was to
be used to build up machine that
would smash any and every effort here
after to secure honest administration
If honest administration did not m
clude administration in behalf of the

This was going rather far, however.

early this morning stating

Midway Island a little speck of sand
in the midst of the sea some 1900 miles
northwest of Honolulu has been visit
ed by a terrific hurricane that threat
ened to sweep the island and all it's
inhabitants into the ocean. The islet
is inhabited by the employees of the
Commercial Pacific Gable Company
which maintains a station composed of
fine buildings on the island. With the
cable people are about twenty United
States marines whose camp Of tents
has been destroyed by the fury of the
storm. These marines are from the de-
tachment at the local naval station
and are relieved at intervals.

The resolution was referred to the
committee on public expenditures, and
was reported back favorably and
adopted, after the Supervisors had had
short recess to enable the commit
tee to consider the matter.
S. K. Manuo applied for a place as
keeper Of one of the parks, and the
application went to the committee on
roads.
Lucas moved that the county attor-
ney be asked to draw up an ordinance
regulating shooting and the carrying
of firearms. as he said that boys who
went shooting in private grounds had
become considerable of a nuisance. He
thought the matter might be reached
by imposing a small license tax
Mr.. Douthitt told the Board that the
matter was covered by Territorial law,
and the Supervisors could hardly do
anything about it. However, the Lucas
motion carried.
Paele introduced a resolution appro-
priating $500 for the month of August
to be expended on the roads in Koo-
laupoko. Referred to the roads COM
mittee. A number of communications
from various road supervisors went the
same way, and a couple Of bills from
the county attorney went to the pub
lie expenditures committee.
In response to a question from Su-
pervisor Lucas County Attorney
Douthitt gave it as his opinion, off
hand that the road department could
spend sums of $500 and upward for road
work without advertising for bids. Mr..
Douthitt, however, wanted time to pre-
pare formal opinion and this was
granted.
A motion by Lucas instructing the
county attorney to prepare an ordi-
nance requiring property owners to curb
improved streets was passed. five to
two.
Then Supervisor Moore brought up
the matter of the removal of the con-
victs from the quarries, to say that
ne would be opposed to convict labor
if it's employment involved the expen-
Giture of any money. But it did not
The convicts were extra. All the citi-
zens that could be employed for the
cney in hand were employed. To
throw out the prison laborers now
would mean a loss of that much labor
to the county. The prisoners furnish
ed the rock, and the citizens were paid
to put it on the roads
"As matter of principle" said
Chairman Smith, Il am opposed to
convict labor, either here or on the
mainland"
Road Supervisor Sam Johnson being
asked his opinion as to what was the
best labor for the quarries, said the
convicts were better for the reason that
they were more accustomed to the
work and had been at it longer.
Adams thought that it was a matter
of luna ship. Properly supervised, free
men would do more work than con-
victs.
Moore did not think that free men
should be put at breaking rocks. 1t
was too hard work
Lucas said the citizen laborers were
getting all the money the board had
10 spend on the roads now. The con-
Wet labor was in addition to that, and
cost nothing The discussion closed

meeting of the Board of Supervisors
last night, and the board did little
harmless politics in the matter of the
employment of prison labor in the
uuarries Also, the board did some
business. 1t always does, being a body
of business men.
After the minutes had been read and
approved, Treasurer Trent reported
that he had been served with gar
;nishment in behalf of E. c. Waterhouse
against Peter Correa. an employe of the
fire department, for s9S.9O. Supervisor
Moore explained that this was an old
debt, inherited from the territorial re-
gime. and that the man acknowledged
that it was just. The matter was
placed on file.

Cost Of Tuberculosis.

Or. Harmon Biggs of New York
american Medicine), after a careful
estimation, places the annual expense
OF tuberculosis to the people of the
United states at $G30,000OO0 He
first calculates the loss to New York
city by putting value of $1,000 upon
each life at the average at which
deaths from tuberculosis occur This
gives a total value of the lives lost
annually of $l,500,000.00.
But this is not all For at least nine
months prior to death these patients
cannot work, and the loss Of service
at one dollar n day, together with food,
nursing, medicines, attendance, etc,
at one and onc.haf dollars a day, re-.
suits in further loss OF $4,000 100000,
making a yearly loss to the munici-
pality OF $23,00O,000G0. Fer the whole
country the 100000 deaths from tuber-
culosis represent in the same way a
loss of $3.50 0OO,OO00O
DR.. Biggs also states that the total
expenditure in the city of New York
for the care of tuberculou3 patients Is
not at present over $500, 100000 q year;
that is, 1t does not exceed two per cent
of the actual loss by death, etc 'If
this annual expenditure were doubled
or trebled it would mean saving of
several thousand lives annually, to say
nothing of the enormous saving in suf
fering." Further evidence of this is
afforded by the fact that in the last
twenty years the total number Of
deaths from tuberculosis in New York
has decreased instead of increasing
although there has been an increase
of 20 per cent in the general popula-
ton.
