NO MUSIC
IN SALOONS

The Board of License Commissioner
held another meeting yesterday after
noon In the hall of the House OF Rep
resentatives. The object of the meet
ing was to discuss and formulate regu
lations to be included in the licenses
issued in addition to those specifically
required by the law.
A draft of the regulations was tenta-
lively adopted subject to revision and
subject to the opinion of the Attorney
General as to the power of the Board
to make and enforce such regulations.
Among the regulations thus tenta-
lively adopted was one requiring that
certificate from the Board of Health
that any proposed saloon is in sani-
tary condition, must be filed with the
License Board before license is issued.
Another regulation is that all private
rooms in saloons must open on the
main bar room without any door,
bCTecI, cuItdih VI OlhtI III pcuihcht w
unobstructed view.
There shall be no communication, ex-
cept by the street, between any il
censed and unlicensed premises.
All entrances to any saloon must be
fitted with doors that will swing closed
when opened. That is there shall be
no open view from the street into any
saloon. All windows, too, must be
frosted.
No music is to be allowed in any
saloon. This regulation was arrived
at after very wide consultation of
members of the Board with liquor deal
ers themselves and represents the SEN
timent of the better element of saloon
keepers themselves.
These regulations apply only to saloon
licenses The matter in relation to
restaurant and other licenses will be
taken up at the next meeting, next
Monday.

WILL CASE GOES
TO WASHINGTON

The Supreme Court of the United

its hand at translating Hawaiian. The
contested will case of Hiikalani Hebron
Noholoa is to go before that tribunal
by writ of error from the decision of
the Supreme Court of Hawaii. Magoon
& Lightfoot, on behalf of the heirs at
law of the late Hiikalani Hebron No
holoa, sued out writ of error yes
terday to take the case to the highest
tribunal in the land.
Hiikalani Hebron Nohooa was for
many years leper at the settlement.
She had property on Oahu valued at
anywhere from $4,000 to $4,000. She
also accumulated some property at the
settlement. She made will at the set

this will. 1t is the contention of the
husband that the will devised to him
all of his wife's property wherever sit

contention of the contestant that it de-
vised only the property at the settle
ment to the husband, leaving the prop
erty elsewhere to be distributed ac-
cording to the law of descent, but even
in that case the husband would get half
of it.
The will is in Hawaiian. The trans
lation of it which the Supreme Court
acted on, though 1t said 1t was q de-
fectiye translation, was as follows:

WHY NOT CURE II?
DO you HAVE RHEUMATISM
EVERY YEAR,
II You Do You Are Doctoring the
Symptoms only-Dr. williams
Pink Pills Cure the Disease.

There are almost as many ways OF
treating rheumatism as there are doc
tors.
Most of these treatments are direct.
ed at the symptoms and are considered
successful If they relieve the pain and
stiffness. But the blood has not been
purified and the rheumatism is sure
to return, especially after season of
exposure to cold and dampness. The
patient goes through this experience
year after year and begins to think
that permanent relief is impossible.
The only way to treat rheumatism
is through the blood. This is the
method of Dr.. Williams Pink Pills
they not only cleanse the blood of the
impurities which cause the disease but
build up and restore the broken-down
system.
Mr.. John Riley of Cazenovia, n. Y,
says: "In my work as blacksn tn,
l am exposed great deal to changes
of temperature. Some time ago / no
ticed that my health was breaking
down. The symptoms were general
physical weakness, loss of appetite and
nervousness.
at was evident that my blood was
weak and impure. became no better
as time went on and finally this condi-
ton of my blood, with the constant ex-
posure, brought on rheumatism. 1t was
of the infammatory kind and was very
painful in the joints, especially of the
feet and wrists. Many days could |
hardly walk and suffered intense pain.
I took to my bed several times for a
day or so and once for six weeks.
ga fellow blacksmith advised me to
try DIR. Williams Pink Pills and as l
had gained no help from other treat
ments, l decided to give them trial.
Within reasonable time noticed that
was getting better and in a few weeks
was cured. That the cure is perma-
ment is shown by my not having lost
day at my trade since then. / can
truthfully say that DR.. Williams Pink
Pills put me on my feet again."
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have cured
anaemia, after-effects of the grip and
fevers, general debility and sick head
aches, dizziness, nervous prostration,
even partial paralysis and locomotor
ataxia.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on re-
,eipt of price, so cents per box, six
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams
