A HAWAII TEACHER OBJECTS TO
THE YLAY OFF.

The following letter was received by
the Board Of Education yesterday:
Hakalau October II, 1906.
Mr.. w H. Babbitt superintendent Of
Public Instruction, Honolulu.
Dear Sir: Finding myself again in a
very peculiar position, l deem it right
that the matter be brought to your at
tention.
Every year in November the Japa-
nese celebrate the anniversary Of
their Emperor, and though living on
American soil CHawaiD they defy the
laws of the country by keeping all the
CHILDREN away from school for two If
three days without even saying "IIX-
cuse me-.
Not satisfied with their November
holidays, they again defy the laws by
hocklng into Hilo this week to see their
glorious ship Anegawa. over twenty
Of my japanese children are in Hilo
since Monday and it is hard to tell
when they will return. Only two came
and asked to be excused, while the rest
took French leave"
To me this is very aggravating. be-
cause, after all my teaching of patriot
ism and respect to our flag, they show
their patriotism by absenting them
selves from school to celebrate any old
japanese holiday or event.
1 know that all the schools along
the line are in the same position, but
I sincerely hope that you will do some
thing to remedy such matters i'm the
future. Respectfully yours,
e. S. CAPPELLAS.

Readers Of This Paper,

A weak stomach and its resulting ills
are not natural. With proper care and

very worst case OF Indigestion or stom-
aeh trouble can I've completely cured.
1t is a sin to deprive oneself OF enjoy
ment in life and become n burden to
Others through Indigestion.
The backaches, headaches, distress after
eating, loss OF appetite, gulping up undi-
gested food aud gases are not natural.
Mona stomach tablets used for few
days before meals will so strengthen the
digestive organs that you can eat any
thing you want without fear OF distress
or resulting sickness.
The directions for taking Mi-o-na en-
phasize the difference between this RENE
DIV and the ordinary medicine that il
given for Indigestion. Mi-O-na is to he
used before meals, Strengthening the dl-
gestiye system for the food which is to
be eaten, while the ordinary remedy Is
taken after meals, and simply digests the
food without strengthening the stomach.
Goolrick's Pharmacy have so much
faith in the merit OF Mi-o-na that they
sell it under guarantee to refund the
money. i'm case il does not cure. A 90
cent box OF Mona will do more real
good than a dozen packages of the ordi-
nary remedies sold for Indigestion.

This city is at present in the midst of
an excitement beyond anything that it
experienced in recent years
Old and young, rich and poor all seem
TO have become beside themselves over
An individual who was stranger to st.
Louis up to two weeks ago.
The man who has created all this tur-
moil is l.. 7. Cooper, President OF the
Cooper Medicine Co. OF Day ton, ONO, who
is at present introducing his prepara-
tjons in this city for the first time .
Cooper is a man about thirty years OF
age and has acquired afortune within the
past two years by the sale OF some prep
arations of which he is the owner
Reports from eastern cities that pre-
ceded the young man here were oil the
most startling nature, many OF tne
leading dailies going so far as - state
that he had nightly cured inpuhlic places
deafness of years standing with one oi
his preparations. The physicians OF the
East contradicted this statement, claim
ing the thing to be impossible, but the
facts seemed to bear out this statement
that Cooper actually did so.
In consequence people hocked to MN
by thousands and his preparations sold
like wildfire
Many of these stories were regarded as
fictitious In st. Louis, and until Cooper
actually reached this city little attention
was paid them. Hardly had the young
man arrived, however, when he began
giving demonstrations, as he calls them,

in public, and daily met people afflicted
with deafness and with a single applica-
tion OF one OF his preparations actually
made deaf people hear again.
In addition to this work Cooper ad-
vanced the theory that stomach troubleis is
the foundation of nine out OF ten diseases,
and claimed 10 have preparation that
would restore the stomach to working
order, and thus get rid OF such troubles as
rheumatism and affections OF the kidneys
and liver, in about two week time.
This statement seems TO have been
borne out by tho remarkable results OBJ
tanned through the use OF his preparation,
and now all st. Louis IS apparently mad
over the young man.
His headquarters resemble a veritable
stampede, Thousands OF people are
visiting him each day, and the druggists
are selling his medicines in enormous
quantities.
What seems to make Cooper still more
popular is the fact that be practices ex-
tsnsive charitable work, and has already
dispensed small fortune among the
poor OF the city.
How long the tremendous interest in
Cooper will last is hard TO estimate. AT
present there seems. To be no sign claim oi
a let-up. Reputable physicians claim il
to be q fad that will die out as soon as
Cooper leaves.
In Justice TO him, however, it must be
said that he seems to have accomplished
a great deal for the sick Of this city with
his preparations.

THE SCARCITY OF HORSES

There will be a demand for horses as
well as men while the United States
undertakes the task OF patroling Cuba in
order to keep the peace during the pro-
cess OF reconstruction. Cuba is about
as large as Virginia and not well provid-
ed with good roads. The soldiers will
mainly serve as mounted police in order
to insure efficiency. The drain upon the
horse supply in this country during the
Boer war, which was largely fought on
horseback, has operated to sustain thr
price of both horses and mules ever since.
Horses are sure to be dear The Cuban
which may be years in the
settling, will cost this country o pretty
penny before it is done with it.-Alexan.
