NO MAN is STRONGER THAN
HIS STOMACH.

Let the greatest athlete have dyspepsia
and his muscles would soon fail. Physi-
cal strength is derived from food. If q
man has insufficient food he loses strength
verified into nutrition through the stom-
ach and bowels. 1t depends on the
strength Of the stomach to what extent
food eaten is digested and assimilated.
People can die of starvation who have
abundant food to eat, when the stomach
and its associate organs of digestion and
nutrition do not perform their duty.
gan Of the body. If the stomach is weak"
the body will be weak also, because it is
upon the stomach the body relies for it's
strength. And as the body, considered as
q whole, is made up of its several mem
bers and organs, so the weakness of the
body as consequence of weak" stom-
ach will be distributed among the or
body is weak because it is ill-nourished
that physical weakness will be found in
all the organs-heart, liver, kidneys, etc.
The liver will be torpid and inactive,

heart, palpitation, dizziness, headache,
backache and kindred disturbances and

Mr.. Louis Perc. Of Quebec, writes: sFor

MORE CARS On

From Li!iha Street to
WaiaIae on a Fifteen
Minute Sche edule.

1t is possible that relief will come
tania street and those at Waialae who
have complained heretofore that they
have not had car service of sufficient
frequency to meet sheir needs The
plan of the Rapid Transit, it is said,
is to change the entire schedule on Ho-
tel and Beretania streets, and to Waia-
lac and establish fifteen minute SER
vice from the end of the Liliha street
line clear through to Kaimuki. This
will give upper Beretania street the
improved service that the people there
have asked for, or something approx
mating it at least, and will improve
the service to Waialae materially.
Acting Governor Atkinson yesterday
had the petitions of the Beretania
street residents for a ten-minute ser
vices before him for his consideration
and was also in consultation during the
morning with President Tenney Peek,
Superintendent Ballentyne and Direc-
tor L. A. Thurston of the Rapid Tran
sit Company, and Superintendent of
Public Works Holloway upon the mat
ter. The Acting Governor was not
ready yesterday, however, to discuss
the proposed changes for publication,
nor to say what would be the final ar
as to the service.
1t has been apparent for some time
past that there were changes in con-
in the Rapid Transit ser
vice. both with reference to the Bere-
tania street line and the line to Waia- /!
lac. New switches have been put in
on Beretania street so as to make the |
passing places for ears at shorter in !
tervals. and the Wailae line at Pawaa
junction has been connected up to the
3eretania street line. This last was !
done some little time ago. The Rapid !
Transit people, however, have not been
prepared as vet to state what it was !
hat they had in contemplation, and as |
las been said the Acting Governor had |
nothing to say yesterday definitely as
o what changes in the service would
be sanctioned officially.
But, it is pretty certain that the ff-
een-minute service along Hotel and
3eretania street from the Liliha street
terminus to Waialae will be inaugu-
