"Topic Glass" Meetings.

Religious newspapers note that some
churches where the weekly prayer
meeting had become a declining insti-
tuition have built up large attendance
upon q "topic class" conducted by a
layman, at which all are invited to

stance, my Thought Of the Super

that people who would add nothing to
an abstract discussion were glad to

present day like to feel that they are
pursuing definite purpose. So the

CAMPAIGN AGAINST
PUBLIC INEDR|ETY

The police are pursuing determined
course to rid Honolulu of drunken
ness. at least so far as keeping in
ebriated persons off the streets and out
of sight OF the public. They are also
keeping careful track of the places
where the habitual drunkards are OBJ
tanning their liquor, not only to pre-
pare list of places against which
prosecutions can be instituted for SELL
ing to interdicted persons. but to have
a line on those Joints in order to be
able to advise any licensing board that
may be created under any new liquor
law as to the fitness or unfitness of
applicants for licenses. There are also
ways in which the more disorderly of
these places can be handled without
waiting for any new liquor law to go
into effect.
During January the number of per-
public place was sixty-one. This was
way above the monthly average of last
year. but the order has been issued
to be even stricter in running in those
who insist on making public exhibi-
tions of themselves, with the result
that already this month the number
Of those who have been up before Judge
is thirty, an average of five
day.
This crusade against the drunks has
already resulted in noticeable de-
crease in the number Of drunken men
about the streets, while the sight of
drunken woman is now almost rarity.
There is, TOO, subdued air about the
Palama joints, which rang with ca
rousals at all hours of the day and
night a short time ago. There are sew
sral cafes closed of late, the proprietors
having discovered within the past few
weeks that this branch of their saloon
business was not going n be a paying
,ne in future. 1t Is the hope Of Sheriff
[aukea to keep up the prosecution of
labitual drunkards and the occasional
,nes who insist on advertising their
apses from sobriety by appearing upon
he street to the extent that those who
indulge will at least do so where others
will not be disturbed.

rnH BRToHr Side

Of life. 1t is a feeling common
to the majority Of us that we
do not get quite tho amount Of
happiness we are entitled to.
Among the countless things
which tend to make us more or
less miserable i'll health takes
first place. Hannah More said
that sin was generally to bo at
tributed to biliousness. No doubt
q crippled liver with the result
: ing impure blood, is the cause Of
more mental gloom than any
other single thing. And whs
can reckon up the fearful aggre-
gate Of pain, loss and fear a.
rising from the many diseases
which are familiar to mankind;
like vast cloud It hangs over
q multitude no one can number.
You can see these people every
where. For them life can scarce
ly be said to have any "bright
side" at all. Hence the eager
ness with which they search for
relief and cure. Remedies like
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
have not attained their high po-
sition in the confidence Of the
people by bald assertions and
boasting advertisements. They
are obliged to win it by doing
actually what is claimed for them.
That this remedy deserves it's
reputation is conceded. It is
palatable as honey and contains
the nutritive and curative prop
critics of Pure Cod Liver Oil,
combined with the Compound
Syrup of Hypophosphites, Ex-
tracts of Malt and Wild Cherry.
Nothing has such a record of
success in Sorofula, Influenza,
Throat and Lung Troubles, and
emaciating complaints and dis
orders that tend to undermine
the foundations Of strength and
vigour. Its use helps to show
life's brighter side. Professor
Reddy, Of Canada, says /: "I have
much pleasure in stating that !

and found it to be a very valu-
able remedy as we'll as pleasing

SPORTS
FOOTBALL RULES
UNDERGO CHANGE

NEW YORK, January 27.-Some i'm
portant changes in the rules governing
football were decided on yesterday at
a meeting of the new joint rules COM
mittee. The conditions will come be-
fore the joint committee for final dis
position probably in March. Among
the rules is the lengthening of the
halves from thirty to thirty-five min
utes each. The new rules in reference
to the pass provide instead of a PEN
atty of loss of ball on an unsuccessful
pass, a 15-yard penalty on the first and
second downs. When a foul is COM
nitted 1t counts as a down. The pro-
posed substitute for the present for
ward pass rule Is as follows:
IF forward pass before reaching
the ground, or kicked ball either be-
fore or after reaching the ground,
goes out of bounds the bail shall be-
long to the opponents at the point
where 1t crosses the side line"
Another important change is the
creation of new official, the field um-
pire.
The new game. 1t was stated today,
oltch maui ~ uiiiSuit lol TIC ISheToc
umpire to settle contested plsys, so the
new official ives created to be on the
field in the defending territory and
close to the scene of the play.
Rule 10 OF last year was changed
so that on a kick out after a touch
back or n safety, opponents may not
come within Ten yards of the side hav-
ing a free kick.
In the present on-side rule q pro-
vision was inserted that linc player
is permitted to carry the ball provided
he does not lePve his position in the
lire until the ball is out of play. 1t
was also decided that player may o.
all times pass the ball to another Of
his own side who is behind him.
A new section 10 Rule ctates that
the player shall be considered as nav
ing opportunity 10 make feir catch
If he is in such position that 1t would
be possible for him to reach the ball
before 1t touches the ground.
To the same rule was added: I'm
case a signal for a fair catch is made
by any player who has an opportunity
for fair catch, and another player
of his side who has not signaled for
a fair catch, catches the ball, no run
shall be made and fair catch shall
not be allowed, but the ball shall be
given to the catcher's side for down,
at the point where the catch was
made"

REMITTANCE
GOES TODAY

Governor Carter will today remit
s560s.55 gold to the Shanghai relief
committee that recently solicited his
good offices on behalf of the Chinese
famine sufferers. The money will be
sent through the bank of Bishop &
Co.. the Commercial Pacific Cable Co.
transmitting the message free.
This amount of relief has been coll
lected by the Chinese committee of
fifteen, to which Consul Chang Tso Fan
belonged, organized at public meet
ing called by the Governor. 1t was
agreed at a meeting Of the general
committee, unanimously, and ratified
by the executive committee of three,
that the Governor should be the GUS
todian of the fund and deposit the col
lections as received In bank.
1t may be noticed that the list OF
contributions as published in this pa
per, and carried out to date below,
amounts to $26 less than the sum men,
toned as going to be remitted to China
by the Governor today. An Advertiser
reporter has copied the lists at the Sec
retary's office from day to day but has
not checked his report with the off,
cial account of the fund. Hence there
may have been an error in transcribing
the lists for publication, but quite
possible explanation Is that the Gov
ernor knows where an extra $25 comes
from. In that case the Advertiser list
is only 81 short of the actual fund.
However, the list to date as reported
for this paper is here given:
