CONSUMPTION
Mainly Caused by Chronic Colds and
Hanging-on Coughs.

A prominent New England scien-
fist has given a good deal of time
to the study of consumption, and finds
that comparatively few cases are her.
editary.
Mostly all are caused by neglect
ed coughs and colds, which gradu-
ally weaken the whole pulmonary
system, and before people realize it
there is a diseased spot in one lung;
splitting blood soon follows and even
tually a collapse.
Such an unnecessary end, such a
pity, for all could have been SO diff
fereAt. We know of many instances
where our valuable cod liver prepare
ton, yinol. has been most beneficial
in such cases.
Vinol is able to cure hanging-on
colds, stubborn coughs, strengthen
the lungs, and thus prevent the de-
velopment of consumption, because
it is the most perfect cod liver prep
aration ever compounded: it contains
no oil or grease to upset the delicate
stomach, yet it does contain every
one of the fifty odd medicinal cur,
alive elements actually taken from
fresh Gods livers, with tonic iron
added We ask all North Yakima
people to try Vinol for weak lungs
chronic coughs, hanging-on colds, oil
rundown and debilitated conditions
and will pay for the medicine our
selves if it fails to benefit.
How can we express our faith in
Vinol more emphatically? c. G.
Case, druggist.
Note-While we are sole agents
for Vinol in North Yakima. it is now
for sale at the leading drug store in
nearly every town and city in the
country. Look for the Vinol agency
in your town.

completion of Mrs. Thaw's testimony
followed an unusual effort of the
prosecution to draw from Abraham
Hummel certain facts relating to an
affidavit which Mrs. Thaw Is said to
have made in Hummel's Office.
In this affidavit 1t is declared that
Thaw beat Mrs. Thaw while abroad
in 1908. Delmas blocked practically
every question. The witness got no
further than to say he knew Mrs.
Thaw, that she came to his office
October 81, 1903 and that he dictated
to the stenographer while she was
there.

SUDDEN DEATH Of
MRS. HENRY BEWS

Mrs. Henry Bews, the wife of the
manager of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel,
died suddenly last night few minutes
before midnight, from heart failure
Although she he'd been ai'ing for some
days, it was not thought that there
was any danger of her Illness proving
fatal, and her death came as a great
shock to Mr.. Bews and to those of her
friends who were with her.
About a week ago she was attacked
with indigestion, the illness not having
been considered serious enough to call
for medical attention until three days
ago, when the sickness was compli,
Gated with slight heart trouble. She
took to her bed and DR.. Cooper was
called in. She was apparently doing
well, but died III Mr.. Bews' arms last
night as he was helping to move her
into a more comfortable position. Her
death was perfectly peaceful and un-
accompanied by any pain whatever.
The late Mrs. Bews was sixty years
old, although appearing many years
younger than this. She was born in
Michigan and was married to Mr.. Bews
nearly forty years ago. In Honolulu,
since coming here to the Royal Hawai-
ian, Mrs. Bews has formed a large
circle of warm friends, her kindness
of manner and sweet disposition win
ming for her the sincere regard Of
almost all with whom she came into
contact

A COOK BOOK FOR
YOUR JAP COOK
An Interesting Adaptation to
y Our Peculiar Con-
diti0nS.

Something new in cook books is one
just published by Richard Weldon. It
is prepared to meet the conditions that
exist here in Hawaii, and it meets
them in novel way. Recipes are
given in both English and japanese
on opposite pages. like parallel col.
umns. The recipes are arranged in
classes, as, for instance, the soups are
all together, and the recipes for meats
and roasts under another heading, and
those for sauces and dressings and for
desserts under still others. They are
numbered eonsecutively. All that the
housewife has to do to make the book
useful in the domestic economy is to
arrange the menu for the dinner or
the numbers of the recipes, and then
give them and the book to her Japa-
nese cook and he has the Japanese
text book before him as his guide in
preparing the dishes. It overcomes the
great difficulty always experienced of
trying to explain in pigeon English the
recipes for the dinner dishes required.
EIn addition to the bi-lingual text,
the book is illustrated with cuts of
various dishes as they should appear
when served, especially Of roasts,
joints, fish and poultry, thus giving in
a graphic way ideas which might with
difficulty be presented in any other.
There are in all about 600 recipes
covering every variety of dishes to
please the gourmet or tempt the cpl
cure.
The book is copyrighted and it's dis
tribution has been placed in the hands
of Arleigh.
