ONLY ONE BEST
Honolulu People Give Credit Where
Credit is Due.

People of Honolulu who suffer with
sick kidneys and bad backs want a
kidney remedy that can be depended
upon. The best is Doan's Backache

neys only. made from pure roots and
herbs, and the only one that is backed
by cures in Honolulu. Here's Honolulu

was a long sufferer from backache,
having been afflicted with it for twelve
years. Taking this as a symptom OF
kidney trouble, and seeing Doan's
Backache Kidney Pills advertised as
being good for complaints such as
mine, procured some of them at the
HOLSTER Drug Co.'S store. I found
upon taking them that they were doing
me good, and was thereby encouraged
TO keep on until now I am cured of the
backache. The merits Of Doan's Bach
ache Kidney Pills have been strikingly
shown in my case, and I recommend
them to other sufferers

SPOR 8
READYING FOR
YACHT RACE

Los ANGELES, May 29.-San Pedro
wants Los Angeles to cooperate in the
celebration of .'Harbor Day at the
seaport town July t.
That is the day of the starting OF the
great ocean yacht race TO Honolulu,
and the citizens of San Pedro want at
least 100000 people to witness that
event.
At the meeting of the Fourth Of July
committee at the Mayors office last
night. L. Hansen OF the san Pedro
committee and Lloyd Childs of the
Hawaii Promotion Committee ap-
peared and outlined their plans.
Mr.. Hansen said he thought Secre-
tary Metcalf could be induced to visit
San Pedro that day. and President
Roosevelt would give the signal for the
starting of the big race. The idea was
to have a sham sea battle, in which a
hostile fleet would attack the American
fort on Dead Mans island, and there
also would be a sham battle by the
militia on land The citizens of San
Pedro would raise liberal subserip-
ton If they are assured that Los
Angeles Will not overshadow them with
a big celebration on her own account
and keep all the visitors at home on
that day
Mr.. Childs also urged that Los An
geles cooperate in the '*Harbor Day
celebration at San Pedro. He pointed
out the fact that the yacht race would
be a big thing in establishing better
relations with the islands and from a
commercial standpoint it was the best
thing to do.
AS there was not a full meeting, no
action was taken. The next meeting
of the committee will be held Monday
evening. at which time Mr. Hansen
and other representatives from San
Pedro will state their plans in detail
At that time the members Of the Har-
Dor Commission also will be present.

WHY RAPOSO
QUIT LEAGUE

The reason why Scorer Raposo of the
Riverside Baseball league resigned his
job has been enormously stated in the
local prints.
1t WASH t because of the irksome-
ness of his duties that Raposo laid down
the official pencil. but because of the
ridiculously small compensation allowed
by the league for his services.
Raposo is beautiful scorer. and the
newspapers have always found him 10
be of most oblieing disposition. 1t
is too bad that such a capable official
should be lost to the league for the
sake of few paltrv dollars.

TO EAT PIES
FOR A PRIZE

The Advertiser stands ready, provid-
ed sufficient interest is shown, to pro-
mote a pie-eating contest for local news
boys, and viii offer a handsome prize to
the winners.
The idea is to have the local daily
papers compete for the trophy, though
any paper may enter a team of bona
fide sellers. The presence in the field
of teams representing the War Cry,
Friend and Honolulu Times would add
immensely to the interest Of the con-
test.
just where the boys viii cross pies
has not yet been decided, but will be
announced as soon as the contest be-
comes matter of actual fact.
In pie-eating contest there are five
men on a side, the positions being as
follows: First pie-grabber, wallower,
first pie-biter, second pie-grabber, sec
ond pie-bIter.
A recent pie-eating contest in San
Francisco was won by the Examiner
boys by four clean pie-pans. The in
terest was so strenuous and exciting
that the svmpathizers of the two teams
were kent off the field with difficulty.
The rules of a pie-eating contest are
simple. Contestants are allowed to
wear no armor, with the exception of
glasses used to prevent the pie getting
into the eyes.
As soon as a boy has finished his pie
he is required to signal the fact by
throwing his pan over his head with
his teeth.
The boys are expected to break clean
and put the pies nowhere but in their
mouth, ears, and, If they so elect, eyes.
4 pie-eating contest is very sport
ing affair, and wagering on the result is
often very heavy. 1t is high time that
Honolulu had pie-eating tournament.
Newsboys wishing to enter the COM
petition are requested to interview Pie
Editor George Seyde of this office, from
whom null particulars may be obtained.
