constant study.

are tagging, that she gets easily tired,
dark shadows appear under her eyes,
she has bachache, headaches. bearing
down pains, nervousness, irregularities
or the blues, she should start at once

SUMMER ILLS

The many ills that come during
the hot, sultry weather can be
avoided by Duffy's Pure Malt
Whisky, taken regularly as pre-
scribed.
The eXhausti1g heat of the Sum
mer weather causes untold suffer
ing and misery to thousands Of
men, women and children. Deaths
occur on all sides from diarrhoea,
dysentery, chills, cholera morbus,
typhoid and other feverS, due in a
great number of cases to impure
water and the consumption of I'M
ripe fruits by those whose systems
and stomachs are not in healthy
condition.
If ali were more careful to have
their systems in vigorous condi-
ton the germs of these diseases
could not obtain a foothold. Lead
ing doctors agree that Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey has no equal as de-
stroyer OF poisonous germs in the
system. 1t aids digestion and as
sirnilation; puriies and enriches the
blood; regulates the bowels; quiets
the nerves; hardens the muscles;
stimulates the hearts action and
builds up and sustains the entire
system.

More readily and more COM
pletely l believe. than could have been
expected of a more virile and deter
mined race. In the short time since
annexation they have learned to sing
my Country 'Tis of Thee with as
much fervor as they formerly sang
Hawaii Ponoi." The political situa-
ton they have accepted and in sur
prisingly brief space of time have
learned to rely and insist upon the
right to equal representation and the
rule of majority. Commercially their
conditions have not changed. Since
the advent of the white man the ma
tives have always been in clerical and
political positions rather than in COM
merce and trade.
2.-This question is hardly suscep-
tible of a categorical answer. The
conditions of the islands have not been
and probably never Will be in the
boom" state which existed prior to
annexation The difference cannot
however. be attributed in any way to
annexation but is the logical result
of a general change in economic con-
ditions. Without annexation and with
the unrest and insecurity regarding
tariffs and treaties, which prevailed
prior to annexation. sugar, at its pres
ent price would find the islands in
condition of stringency, If not absolute
want Since annexation and due to a
rea liza ton that no discriminatory
legislation would affect the sugar in
dustry. our sugar plantations have
vastly improved and cheapened both
the means of producing cane by build
ing bitches. dams reservoirs and in
stalling pumps, and the means of eX-
tracing the juices by new and i'm
proved mills. etc, all of which has
been accomplished as the result OF
the money marts Of the United States
opening to our securities, believing
that as an Integral part of the United
States we are safe from tariff tinker
ing and treaty Determinations. On
the whole, L think the condition of the
islands much improved as a result of
annexation.
3-Yes Our conditions are exotic
We have been bundled from an indie
pendent power into a dependent terri
tory with barely time to get our breath
between changes. We have suddenly
become an army and navy center with
out adequate, or any. army or navy
protection. Our docks, wharves and
waterways. amply sufficient for the
limited commerce of the Republic of
Hawaii are totally inadequate for the
territory of Hawaii with its protective
battleships and calling transports, sup
ply boats and revenue cutters. The
federal revenues collected in the terri
tory of Hawaii net the United States
government over four million dollars
per annum. three-fourths of which we
believe in justice. and to preserve the
integrity of our existence, should be
returned and spent in Hawaii.
