ADVERTISEMENTS.
To-day we want to talk 70
you about ffcatarrh cures"

During the past few months we have
been publishing what some of our good
friends have called "heart-to-heart talks"
on patent medicines.
That name suits us all right-"heart-
to-heart talks" is just what we have
intended. There can't be anything more
serious to sick man or sick woman
than his ailment and the remedies he or
she takes to cure it.
Our talks have been "heart-to-heart."
Every word we have printed has been
written in absolute earnestness and sin
certify, and judging from what our Gus
toners tell us, we have not been talking
IN vain. We are convinced that our
trankness has been appreciated, and that
our suggestions have been Welcomed
which naturally encourages us to con-
tinue
To-day, and perhaps for some time to
come, we want to talk about that big
class of remedies known generally as
"catair h cures"
Broadly speaking these are the patent
medicines that have been the chief tar
gets for the attacks of the Ladies'
Home Journal" Golfers Weekly" and
other magazines which are waging such
a lively warfare against patent medicine
abuses.
AS we have pointed out in previous
talks, it is not our business to pass judg-
ment on the crusade of these we'll
known, highly-respected publications.
The public alone must be the judge and
jury. Our business, as we see it, is to
carry in stock a complete line Of ratent
medicines, and to sell those medicines at
the lowest possible price.
We sell hundreds-yes, thousands of
bottles of so-called 'catarrh cures and
know nothing of their ingredients. The
manufacturers advertise them. the public
demands them; we order th0m from the
manufacturers and sell them at the low
est price. That is absolutely as far as
our knowledge goes. The manufacturer
keeps his formula a secret. It may be
good, or it may Motive don't know, and
we have no means of finding out.
Naturally, we would rather sell REM

edy that we know is right-that we can
back up with all our reputation for hon.
esty and square-dealing.
And wouldn't you rather buy that kind
of remedy? Wouldn't you rather hold
us responsible than to hold no one
responsible? We are right here, right
where you can get at us every day in the
week, right where one false move on our
part will bring upon us your condem-
nation, the loss of your friendship, your
patronage, your influence Can we afford
to tell you anything that you will learn
later is not absolutely true?
Are you not safer in taking our word
for the merits of an article, than you are
to rely on the printed statement of a pa
tent medicine manufacturer. whom you
never even saw and probably never will?
Common sense most emphatical1y tells
you that we cannot afford to depart one
hairs breadth from the rigid truth
None of lis can deny that there is such
disease known as ''catarrh." Those
who have it, or who have had it, know
that it is one of the hardest diseases to
cure
Perhaps the worst thing about catarrh
is its prevalence. Almost everyone
especially in a climate like ours-has
catarrh in some form or another. That is
what has made the "catarrh cure" BUSH
ness so profitable. There are so many
thousands of cases of the disease and it is
SO hard to cure, that the patent medicine
manufacturers have reaped harvest in
preparing remedies that appeal to this
LARGE class of sufferers.
One of the most serious things about
catarrh is that it breaks down the sys-
tenn, so that the sufferer becomes prey
to other diseases. This fact has led the
proprietors of SO MANY "catarrh cures"
to advertise their remedies as a specific
for almost every disease under the sn1.
We have ONE catarrh cure that WI.
are willing to say to You; 1--WE know
this is all right. Take it home and use it
with the full assurance that if it does not
cure you, you can bring it back to us
and we will promptly refund your
money! That catarrh cure is

The News-No Pure Drug Cough Cure Laws
would be ne @ded, IL all Cough Cures were like

that II any poisons enter into cough mix

insist on having DR.. Shocp's Cough Cure. No

POLICE BASE
BALL NINE

A new ball nine has been organized
and is ready to play any other aggre-
cation in the county of its weight, the
Postoffice nine preferred. This is the
Police nine, organized yesterday and
ready to play today, tomorrow or any
other time. The players are ambitious
to cross bats first with the employees
of the postoffice service, after which
they will take on any of the CONNER
ciaI teams in the order of the apphca-
tions received
Practise along their line of duty has
led the police into the idea that they
can catch anything, high or low; that
stolen bases will be gathered in in
Vulnerable, that errors will be unknown
and that shut-outs for them will be
impossible with LeaI and Apana in
their lineup. Their team includes one
or two specials and is announced as
follows:
j. Luahiwa, catcher; Robert Parker
Jr., pitcher; L. B. Reeves, first base;

POLO FIELD
IN FINE SHAPE
No Rain Fell at MoanaIua--'
Fast Playing Expected To-
day in Second Game.

Yesterdays rain in town brought
with it to many the gloomy thought
that it would mean another postpone
ment of the polo games, the second
match of the series being scheduled for
this afternoon. Fortunately there will
be no postponement, the rain having
failed to extend as far Eva as the polo
field, which is in the very best possible
shape. The play viii begin promptly
at three o'clock this afternoon and an
even bigger crowd than attended the
first game is expected to be on the
side lines when the umpire rolls the
first ball
For the game today the committee in
charge has made vastly improved ar
rangements for the accommodation of
those who go out by the rapid transit
cars, arrangements being made to have
each car met by bus, not one bus for
the whole service. The fact that the
hill was considered by good many of
the drivers of rigs as something dam
gerous, frightening horses, has been
brought to the attention of Road Su-
pervisor johnson, who has agreed to
have the machine put at work this
afternoon in place where none of the
rigs driving out to Moanalua will have
to pass it, a move on Mr.. Johnson s
part which wnl be appreciated by
many.
For the game today Oahu will go on
with the same lineup, but in much bet
ter shape for the contest than on We'd
nesday, when the Mauites beat them
decisively. The contest today will be
for blood from the first swing of the
mallet and a reversal Of the score of
the first game IS confidently expected.
If Oahu is beaten this afternoon there

odd Habit. of Pheasant..

There Is some curiosity as to how
many English pheasants will be raised
in Kansas this year. The average num-
Der of birds raised by each pair of par
ent birds is sixty. With 1000 in the
State this would mean about 100000
birds in two years. The woods and
fields would be oyerrun with them at
this rate. However, there are many
foes of the birds and they are killed
every year in great numbers. The sleet-
storms are particularly hard on them,
as tie water freezes on their long plu-
mage and they are unable either to fly
or run fast When in this condition
they are easy prey to dogs and wolves.
One of the queerest habits the birds
have is to migrate In the late winter
thirty-flve miles 1t is claimed that the
birds always migrate exactly thirty
five miles and always to the south. The
young never stay where they were
Matched, but make this move as soon
as they are large enough. Naturalists
have never been able to explain this.
The only theory advanced is that the
birds know IL they stay where they
were Matched the country would soon
be overstoeked with them.-Kansas

The publication of Gen. Kuropatkin's
history of the Russo-Japanese war, which
was confscated by the government, and
in which charges of cowardice, incompe-
tence and dsobedience were hurled at
Russian officials of the highest rank, has
called forth an answer from Gen. kaul-
bars. governor of Odessa. The book had
placed upon Kaulbars the entire respon-
sibility for the great Russian defeat when
AIukden was captured. and for the de-
feafs at Sandepu and the Sha river. On
the contrary. Kaulbars says that the de-
feat at the Sha river was chiefly due to
kuropatkin's removing his reserves. Raul
bars says that the real causes of Rus
sia's defeat were lack of patriotism and
the revolutionary ideas with which the
reserves were imbued. together with the
activity of the Chinese bandits in OBJ
structing the railroad.
Kuropatkin's history is in three bulky
volumes. and the whole story is one of
unpreparedness. disorsaniza>ion and cross
purposes. In summing up the causes of
Russia's defeat. Kuropatkin mentions the
preponderance of japanese forces. their
better preparedness. their youth. lighter
equipment and mountain artillery, their
patriotism. their capable officers and the
insufficient warlike spirit of our own
