The rules governing postal cards
change SO often that it is difficult
for one to know what is right and
what is wrong. The latest is to the
effect that the sender OF postal card
can now write message on the left
hand corner of the face Of the card
without being compelled to pay
letter postage. Heretofore it has
been permissible to write only on
the reverse side of the card. This
regulation has been in effect in
Europe for several years. and is un-
doubtedly the result of the mailing
of SO many cards where the reverse
side is devoted entirely to pictorial
purposes. Hereafter the picture
side of the card may not be spoiled
by writing, and the message or
greeting may be placed on its face.

WILL ASK THAT FLEET
Be SENT To HAWAII

One of the principal reasons for which
Governor Frear will attend the Trans
mississippi Congress as the special rep
resentative of the Honolulu Chamber
of Commerce is to urge upon the meet
ing the passing of resolution point
ing out to Congress the necessity of
the Atlantic fleet extending its Pacific
cruise to at least as far from the San
Francisco base as the Hawaiian Is
lands. He will ask that this request
be included in a vote of commentator
on the action of the Navy Depart
ment in despatching the feet on its
practise cruise to the Pacific.
The matter of endorsing the resolu-
ton of the Honolulu Chamber of Com
merce regarding Pearl Harbor will also
be taken up and urged. The endorse
ment of such gathering, representa-
tive of the business interest of the en-
tire West, would be the strongest back
ing along that line that the Pearl Har-
Dor matter could have and is certain
ly well worth pressing for.

for such trust. Hart has only just
been sent here under my care and I
mean to see that the object of the
law is carried out in his case as in
all cases under my charge"
The day following Hart s sentence
to three years Imprisonment for mali
cious burning in the second degree, set
ting fire to the kerosene warehouse,
he was ordered out with the gang to
break rock at Makiki quarry. With
shaver head and striped blouse and
trousers he was marched under the
guard of armed and mounted men to
the government stables where wagons
took the convicts out to Makiki and
Hart with the rest was put to break
ing stones. To be sure he was not ex-
pected to do in his first days expert
ence as much as old hands could ac-
complish and he was not rushed or
harried, but he was expected to keep
busy and he lid keep busy. When he
returned to his cell for the night his
back was stiff and painful from the I'M
usual exercise and his hands were
blistered. Many times had he sought
the waterbucket during that first days
work and many were the signs drawn
from the body so long used to PAM
pering luxury. He, who had been used
to taking a hack to ride a block who
was always perfumed and polished,
nonchalant and dandifed and petted,
suffered as he never suffered before.
Gle II get used to it gradually"
says High Sheriff Henry, "and we take
care that for the first week or two
novice does not hurt himself on the
rock pile"
Hart received his first callers yester-
day, since he commenced his sentence,
when his mother and two other ladies
visited him.
In illustration of the discipline which
requires that able-bodied men be sent
put to work, and the mercy that does
not compel those unable to do so to
weld the hammer, there is an aged
oriental who is in for nine months
because he had the misfortune to be
,ound with piece of bad money in
lis clothes and Warden Henry has
'otnd work other than rock breaking
or him to do, something less ener-
-etie.

NO TRUSTY'S
JOB FOR HAIR

It's one thing to ride in an automo-
bile to set a house afire and another to
hike through the city streets in stripes
to crack rocks, and it was probably the
realization of this truth that took
Lionel r. A. Hart, erstwhile dandy and
now convict, to the office of High
Sheriff Henry in Oahu prison, the other
day, to make request which, while
it may have appeared simple enough
to him, struck philosophical Henry
something as surprise
81 would like to have a position
as trusty," said Hart, bowling
slightly.
cit takes several years of good be-
havior, usually, to attain that distine-
ton, replied Henry, in effect, when
he was able to recover from the shock
of the nervy request. "You are only
a beginner here and it seems to me that
you have a pretty light sentence as
it is. You must remember, my lad,
that you are no better than any other
prisoner. 1 think little work out of
doors will do you coed"
So it was the quarry for Lionel.
Hart stalked out of the High
Sheriff's Office and back to the bench
under the big tree in the prison yard
where several new-found associates
awaited him, curious to learn the out
come of his interview with the warden
''Told yer not to make break like
that,'' remarked one; "you amt any
better'n the rest of u.s.
Hart had had visions of being ap-
pointed a trusty and perhaps put on
the prison books to keep account of /
the provisions and acquisitions. Wheth-
er or not he would have offered let

employers and could have furnished

nipped his ambitions in the bud. II
you'd have been enough to touch the

WHERE OUR

AMERICAN TRAVELLERS IN EU-
ROPE SPEND $s4,Ooo,OOO TOUR
ING THE CONTINENT HAVING
A GOOD TIME.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Accord-
parts of Europe there was more than
5000 touring parties doing the con-
tinent in automobiles. Each car
carries, says the report, on an aver
age of 5 persons. making a total Of
700 Americans motoring on the
Continent The expense will aver
age $40 per day for each person,
making a daily expenditure by this
class of American travellers in Eu-
rope of 100000
The American motorist usually
spend two months on the Continent,
which brings the aggregate expendi-
ture up to $24,O0O,OOO for the sea-
SON So great is the number Of
American automobiles on the Cont
nent that the transport of motors
across the Atlantic has become a
regular and specialized business.
A properly equipped touring car is
It private train and yacht combined.
/ The traveller can go north, south,
east, or west, when he wishes, stop
as many days as he wishes at one
point, and has no need to worry
about tickets or luggage. Motor
/ tourists on the Continent are
brought much more into touch with
national life than the railway trav-
eler, who, passing through Europe
on a train de luxe, from one hotel
de luxe to another, finds all Europe
lalike, sees nothing of national cos
tune or habit, and hears little ex-
lcept his own language.
The great interest in motoring in
lal parts of the world. and especially
in using automobiles as means of
travel as we'll as pleasure by Ameri-
cans in Europe, will furnish addi-
tional stimulus to the trade and an
incentive to American manufacture
ers to meet the demand for and com
lpete with the continental manufac-
turers in the worlds markets for
lhigh-grade touring cars.
The increasing number Of Amely
can automobiles in Europe will en-
courage the establishment of much
needed central European agencies
where repairs and supplies for
Americans machines can he promptly

DRINK PLENTY
OF GOOD WATER

''The people here do not drink
enough water to keep healthy" ex-
claimed well-known authority
THE numerous cases of stomach
trouble, kidney and bladder diseases
and rheumatism are mainly due to
the fact that the drinking of water,
natures greatest medicine, has been
neglected.
Stop loading your system with
patent medicines and cure-alls; but.
get on the water wagon. If you ara
really sick, why, of course, take the
proper medicines-plain common
vegetable treatment. which will not
shatter the nerves or ruin the stom-
ach.''
When requested for such a pre-
seription for the cure of rheumatism
and kidney trouble. the answer was:
you must make the kidneys do their
work; they are the tiers of the
blood. They must be made to strain
out of the blood the waste matter
and acids that cause rheumatism;
the urine must be neutraliZed so it
will no longer be a source Of irrita-
tion to the bladder. and. most of ALL
you must keep these acids from form
ing in the stomach. This is the cause
of stomach trouble and poor diges-
ton. For these conditions 7 would
suggest the following prescription:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce: Compound Kargon. one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparil-
la, three ounces. Mix by shaking
we'll in bottle and take in teaspoon
full doses after each meal and at bed
time, but don't forget the water.
Drink plenty and often.
But unless YOU go to the trouble
to ask the druggist for the Dandelior
and Sarsaparilla separately. and then
buy one ounce Kargon Compound, IN
an original (unopened) package,
plainly printed, Guaranteed No. 10S

the Kargon with the other ingredi-
ents at your home, YOU had better
