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
Kidney Pills, a medicine for the kid
neys only, made from pure roots and
herbs, and the only one that is backed
by cures in Honolulu. Here's Honolulu
testimony:
H. S. Swinton, Honolulu. says: 81
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"
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
sold by all druggists and storekeepers

AT THE COUNTY BATHS.

There was a crowd of over 1000 peo-
pie at the public baths at Waikiki on
the Fourth, and there was another big
crowd on Sunday afternoon. On the
Fourth the women S bathing quarters
were entirely inadequate for the crowd
and late-comers of ladies and children
could not be accommodated The Sal
walton Army with their band and the
children from the home attended on
this day and gave the little ones an
outing that they will remember. Down
in the mauka Diamond Head) corner
of the premises a place has been ma
cadamized for the accommodation of
the vehicles, which has been much need
ed, as horses had to be hitched pre-
viously to the trees along the road. 1t
is understood that in view of the great
desire on the part of the frequenters
of the beach that the band play at
the public baths instead of Makee
Island; that the Sunday concerts at
Waikiki in the near future viii be
given under the big banyan just oppo-
site the public baths or a band stand
be erected in the premises.

to the delight of the well-nigh frozen
excursionists.
Shortly after midnight party of
about thirty people descended into the
crater and travelled to the brink of
Halemaumau. The edge of the frepit
was reached about half-past one, when
the excursionists were rewarded by see
ing the crater in probably its greatest
activity.
Four hundred feet below the molten
lava spouted and bubbled. In the cen
ter of this molten flow, which probably
filed an area of from eight to ten
acres, seemed to stand an island; on
one side of this was a fantastic lava
formation, houselike in appearance,
against which waves of lava rolled, and
being repulsed, flew high into the air.
On the opposite side of the pit there
were two similar spouts, which con-
tinued throughout the morning to emit
great quantities of lava. The entire
lake was in continuous movement, as if
by special appointment. Among the
sightseers were many old kamaainas, who
had heretofore never seen the sight,
and who agreed with the balance that
it was one of the greatest displays they
had ever witnessed. At daybreak the
party returned to the, Volcano House,
some returning to Hilo and others stay
ing over for the day.
The trip down to Glenwood proved to
be very interesting one. Along the
road grew large tree ferns, among
which the wild roses twined. Berries
were in plenty, the rain, however. stop
ping the passengers from gathering
many. The balance of the party came
down on the evening train to Hilo, en-
barking Immediately for Honolulu.
A large gathering was on the wharf
to bid aloha to the passengers, the
quintet club aboard singing appropriate
songs. The trip back to Honolulu was
very smooth one the majority of the
passengers retiring to their hunks early,
after their tiresome journey.
Great credit is due to the committee
who managed the affair, which will be
long remembered by those who took
the trip Henry c. Easton had the af-
fair directly under his charge, doing
much to make the passengers as com
Portable as possible. The others on the
committee were JAS. Dougherty, Geo.
Martin, and J. Walter Doyle.

A certain Sunday school class in
Philadelphia consists for the most part
of youngsters who live in the poorer dis

teacher told the class about Cain and
Abel, and the following week she turned
to Jimmie, diminutive lad, who, how
ever, had not been present the previous
session. Jimmie she said. 81 want

MAcHINE-oRouND PAINT.

Occasionally one hears the "hand.
mixed" paint OF the painter slightingly
spoken of as "unscientihc' and mot
thoroughly mixed" The facts are all
on the side Of the painter and his hand.
prepared paint.
1t Ia the most scientific" paint there
is, because it is made on the spot to
suit the particular purpose for which
1t is to be used. 1t is as scientific as
good doctors prescription. If the
painter did not mix it thus it would
be as unscientific as patent medi-
cine. Moreover, the paint which
good painter turns out is made OF
genuine white lead and pure linseed
oil. If he does not mix it himself he
is not sure what is In it, and conse-
Quently his client cannot be sure.
AS for not being thoroughly mixed
by machinery, that is simply mis-
statement. White Lead as made by
National Lead Company is thorough
ly incorporated with or per cent.
of pure Linseed oil in the factory, max
ing paste. This paste need only be
thinned with additional linseed oil to
make it ready for the brush.
The thorough incorporation Of pig
ment and oil has already been accom-
plished before the painter gets it.
To know how to tell pure white lead
is a great advantage to both painter
and HORSEPOWER. National Lead Com
pany will send tester free to anyone
interested. Address the company at

Once within st. Peters, however,
conflicting memories fall away, lost,
as Is all sense of minor faults in the

pilgrims from far countries with the

appeal to the Well-Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and crcditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup OF Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
swcetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component

physicians, as it is free from all objection

effects always purchase the genuine
