Heartburn Comes
From the Stomach

The heart is an organ that people are
not inclined to trife with, but a person
may have fluttering of the heart, heart
burn and similar troubles and yet have
perfectly sound heart. Nine times
out of ten the disorder comes from the
stomach through dyspepsia, constipa-
ton or some other digestive ailnent.
So instead of taking "heart cures"
or other such things that contain stimulants
and narcotics, take harmless but effective
remedy like DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin which
will correct the digestive disorder and In that
way cure the supposedhearttr trouble. The remedy
Is guaranteed to do this, and you can obtain 1t
OF any druggist In 30 cent and vi bottles. AS
there are about 100 doses to the latter the cure
will cost you but few cents.
The experience Of Mrs. Knight. OF Bepview,
Tenn, in this regard should be OF interestto oil
who suffer from heartburn, etc. She writes that
for five years she suffered from indigestion and
constipation. from fainting spells, futtering OF
the heart and heartburn. She couldn't eat meat
or anything seasoned with meat. DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin was recommended to her ana
after few doses the indigestion and constpa-
ton was relieved and the fainting spells and
heart trouble soon disappeared She takes a
dose of the remedy after eating and now never
feels any i'll effects no matter what she eats. 1t
would be well for those who suffer In this way to
do as she did and be cured.
There is no question that DR.. Caldwell's Syr-'
up Pepsin Is the best tonic laxative and dlgest-
ant at the disposal of the American people. II
is gentle In action and pleasant In taste. II
never gripes 1t is the ideal remedy for stom.
It's gentle action Is especially TO be recon-
mended to children, women and others who can
not stand the violence and gripping OF salts.

DEATH OF PRINCE IMPERIAL.
ZuIus Paid Tribute to Bravery of Louis
Napoleon.


How Prince Louis Napoleon was
killed by the Zulus June 1, 1879, Is
told graphically in tr, book by Sir
Evelyn Wood, who took part In that
war. The little party which the prince
accompanied was surprised and at
tackled Sir Evelyn writes: 1.-THE
Zulus in pursuit ran first after the two
white soldiers who were on the tanks.
three or four men, headed by Labanga,
followed the prince. His horse had
jumped just as he was mounting, and
his sword fell out of Its scabbard. He
was very active, and was vaulting on
his horse In motion when the wallet
on the front of the saddle broke away,
and he fell to the ground, being at this
time only 60 yards behind the Brit
ish) fugitives. There were seven men
who actually fought the prince. When
Langalebele. pursuing the fugitives,
first saw Labanga, he was running
away from the prince, who was rush
ing at him. Labanga, crouching in
the grass, threw an assagai at him.
The first assagai struck in the princes
thigh, and, withdrawing It from the
wound, he kept his foes at bay for
some minutes. In the natives words:
He fought like lion; he fired two
shots, but without effect; and I threw
an assagai at him which struck him,
as I said at the time, but I always
allowed Labanga's claim to have killed
him, for his assagai hit the prince in
the left shoulder, mortal wound"

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1907-07-09

This homestead was not intended as
a mere dwelling place, but to be of
sufficient area and fertility to furnish
occupation, sustenance, comfort and
prosperity for an ordinary family, who,
by their own labor and economy, were
to lay the foundation of their own well
fare.
The area determined upon was one
hundred and sixty acres Of unbroken
land. To fix a permanent poulation,
settlers were required to pay for the
land Zone Dollar and twenty-five cents
an acre. and reside upon 1t five years
before they could acquire a title. Fail
ing to fulfil conditions, both land and
money were lost to the settler.
This Territory cannot adopt the
standard area of the United States,
but it can lay out its public agricul-
tural lands in areas capable Of afford
ing corresponding occupation, susten-
ance, comfort and prosperity for a fam
lily.

A
Solution
ONE CONGRESSMAN WHO HAS A
DEFINITE IDEA AS TO SMALL
FARMING HERE.

Congressman J. M. Reynolds OF
Pennsylvania does not regard the i'm
mediate prospects of the small farmer
in the Hawaiian Islands, as very
bright. Two difficulties, in his mind,
present themselves. One is the fact
that the acreage that is available for
the small farmer is limited and the
other is the fact that should the farm
er engaged in the raising of cane there
is no guarantee that he could have the
sugar cane ground.
Since his visit to these islands Itey-
nolds has made rather a careful study
Of conditions. He says that on the
mainland there is marked tendency
on the part OF farmers to move TO Tex
as and western states where they can
secure farms of 16O acres in size. No
such favorable conditions in point OF
extensive acreage are possible, be
thinks, in these islands. The acreage
is available in Hawaii is not of suffi-
cient extent, he believes, to enable the
farmer to raise produce to profit
Furthermore, he says that raising
cane is about the only thing that pre-
sents itself under existing conditions
If farmer should produce cane he
would not have any general guarantee
that he could get the cane ground.
The Congressman offers as a sug-
gestion that the Territory follow the
example of Mexico and Central Amer
lean governments and erect mills
where the cane of the small holder
could be ground at practically cost. In
this idea he sees an immediate solution
of local conditions, a solution that
would, he believes, result in the crea-
tion of a middle class Of land owning
citizens.

WARSHIPS
MAY.COME
vERYSOON
BIG VESSELS COMING THIS WAY
NOW BY WAY OF THE FAR
EAST.

Honolulu will entertain American
men-of-war sooner than she expected.
The protected cruisers Denver and
Cleveland, which sailed from Suez, in
company, for Manila, via Alden, on
June 21, arrived at Colombo today, ac-
cording to dispatches received here,
and, on ordinary itinerary time are
due at Singapore on July 23 and at
Manila on August 2. From Manila
they come here to join the Pacific
squadron which was to be massed
here, according to recently announced
plans, within the year.
There is talk now of forwarding the
plans. At least the Denver and the
Cleveland and two other warships now
in China waters are expected in Ha-
waiian waters in less than two months.
The armored cruiser st. Louis, 1t is
expected, will also show up here soon
er than originally planned
The st. Louis, Commander Natha-
MEL r. Usher, reached Montevideo to-
day en- route to the Pacific She sail
ed from Bahia, Brazil, for Rio de ia
Metro, Brazil, on June 20, "a hours
ahead of scheduled time. She left Rio
on July 4. She may remain at Monte
video until next Tuesday when she
sails for the Straits of Magellan, being
due at Sandy Point on July %; leav-
ing the same day she is expected, on
what is known in the Navy as econo-
mic steaming, at Valparaiso on July
2S, leaving August 4 for Callao where
she would arrive on August 8. She is
due, according to present plans, at
Acapulco on August ~ and to sail
thence on August 26 for San Francisco
where shew ould arrive September /,
but there is a strong possibility of her
cutting out San Francisco and coming
direct to Honolulu from Acapulco.
She could be in Honolulu many days
before September If the department
desired to push her. She is steaming
now under economic orders, or she
was up to her arrival at Montevideo
The st. Louis is one of the new
boats and is an armored cruiser Of
q, 900 horse power, 300 tons and car.
ries Ia guns. The Denver and CleVe.
land are protected cruisers Of 3,10O tons
and carrying 10 guns each. The three
vessels named are all twin-screwed.
It is believed, particularly in the
light of today's Associated Cable dis
patches concerning the hurrying o.
mines on the transport Crook to Pear
harbor and the near realization of for
tifcations, that the visiting Congress
men have. awakened Washington to tn,
necessity of fortifying Oahu and max
ing this island a naval base

ONLY ONE
JUSTICE
COURT AT PRESENT
HEARING TAX CAsES-DE BOLT
AND LINDSAY SITTING.

The hearing of the mandamus petit
tion of the Eva Plantation Co. VS..
James L. Holt, tax assessor, came up in
the Supreme Court this morning. Sit
ting with presiding Justice Wilder were
Circuit Judges De Bolt and Lindsay.
The action was brought to force the
tax assessor to issue a certificate of ap-
peal to the tax appeal court, from an
assessment made of the income of the
plantation. Attorney General e. G.
Peters represented the Territory or the
tax assessor while D. L. Wilmington ap-
peared for the plantation company.
The point at issue did not involve
over $4,000 in tax income. The plan
tation contended that it should De al
lowed in certain sum for depreciation,
whereas the assessor refused to make
such allowance and put the assessment
at 1868, ,233. so claiming the tax shouSd
be $13,264. 65. The company had re-
turned as it's gross income $1,907 1928 n
claiming an exempt 81 ,99921. The
return by the company allowed for a
depreciation of $S5, ,3O5 OF on the prop
perty on which it was claimed no in
come should be paid The income tax
on this sum would be 81 ,7O6.1 The
4 plantation did not appeal on this
amount of variance but appealed on
the entire assessment. 1t was contend
ed by the assessor that the appeal had
not been properly perfected and he re-
fused to issue a certificate of appeal so
that it could be taken up by the tax
appeal court.
The Supreme Court expressed doubt
as to its jurisdiction intimating that
the mandamus proceedings should
rather have been brought in the circuit
court. The result was that the hear
ing was continued and similar pro-
ceedings will be instituted in the cir
cult court to mandamus Holt to issue
the tax appeal court certificate.
The plantation company is desirous
of taking the matter to the U. S. Su-
preme Court, hence the full amount OF
the tax was appealed on, as an appeal
to that tribunal has to involve $4,000 OF
over

VIEWS
OF LAND LAWS
HE EXPRESSES THEM AT LENGTH LETTER TO DELEGATE
KUHIo-sAYs HAWAIIs LAND LAWS ARE WHOLLY UNsUrrED
TERRITORY AND THAT STATES LAWS
SHOULD APPLY.

Delegate Kuhio has received the fol-
lowing letter from L. e. Pinkham,
President of the Board of Health:
Hon. ]. X. Kalanianaole, Delegate to
Congress, Honolulu, T. H.
Sir:-After much study and reflec-
tion, herewith reply to the request of
................. made several weeks
since, and submit the following views
as to the applicability of the land laws
of the United States to the Territory
of Hawaii.
A study of those laws and the areas
and character of the public lands of
Hawaii quickly disclose the fact said
laws are wholly unsuited to this Ter
ritory, but that the spirit and intent
of the United States land laws are ap-
plicable to and should be applied in
the Territory Of Hawaii by either the
Territorial or Federal authority.
The intent of those laws was and is
to provide a homestead for existing or
prospective heads of families and to so
provide without delay or wasteful ex-
pense to the settler.
