early in the morning. There were few
people on the dock-only one person
did ] see carrying leis, one woman wait

gracious old Hawaiian way. My heart
sank as | said to myself: "The ruth

withered the oldtime floral welcome of
Hawaii; the spirit of Aloha is pass

hard and material and unresponsive as
Broadway itself" With sad misgiv-

And this proved but one of many
similar experiences. Those who had
been kind ten years ago were even
kinder than before, and all fears fol
, the fate of the "Aloha spirit" were
dispelled ere we had been two hours
on Hawaiian soil. The custom of Civ

One os the most interesting phases
of life to study in Hawaii is to go to
school. In one school we visited were
bullet headed little Japanese with their
hair close-eropped: young Celestials
with budding pigtails; red-haired,
freekled white boys; black haired,
olive-cheeked Portuguese; and there
were fascinating little girls to match;

OUR FIRST PRESIDENT.
The Average American Knows Very
Little About Washinqton.

1899; fought Indians; time and place a
little vague. Was he not with Brad

Revolution; was our first president and

dress; knew Lafayette and Thomas
Jefferson; crossed the Delaware at
Trenton Just before Christmas and sur
prised the Hessians; beat CORVALLIS
at Yorktown and was first in war, first
in peace and first in the hearts of his
countrymen.
These are all public facts. What
does the reader know of Washington

The law to relieve employees Of the
government who are injured in acct
dents is a small step in the right direc-

GERMS IN HER SYSTEM
Every Woman Should Read This.

The number of diseases peculiar to
woman is such that we believe this
space would hardly contain mere
mention of their names, and it is a
fact that most of these diseases are
of catarrhal nature. A woman can
not be well if there is a trace of the
catarrhal germs in her system.
Some women think there is no
help for them. We positively declare
this to be mistaken idea. We are
so sure of this that we offer to supply
medicine absolutely free of all cost
in every instance where it fails to
give entire satisfaction or does not
substantiate our claims. With this
understanding, no woman should hes
itate to believe our honesty of pur-
pose, on hesitate to put our claims
to a test.
There is only one way to cure Ca
tarrh. That way is through the
blood You may use all the snuffs
douches or like remedies for years
without getting more than temporary
relief at best Catarrh is caused by
a germ. That germ is carried by the
blood to the innermost part of the
system until the mucous membrane
is broken, irritation and inflammation
produced, and flow of mucous re-
suits, and you can probably realize
how silly it is to attempt to cure
such an ailment unless you take q
medicine that follows the same course
as the germ or parasite.
Rexall Mucu-Tone is scientifically
prepared from the prescription OF
an eminent physician who for thirty
years made his speciality Catarrh, and
with this medicine he averaged 9s
per cent of cures where it was en-
ployed. No other remedy is so prop
erly designed for the ailments of wo-
man. 1t will purify and enrich the
blood, stop mucous discharge, des-
troy all germ matter, remove all
impurities from the system, soothe
heal and strengthen the mucous It's
sues, and bring about a good feeling
of health and strength
We want you to try Rexall Mucu,
Tone on our guarantee. If you are
not benefited, or for any reason
not satisfied simply tell us and we
will hand back your money. Rexal
Mucu-Tone comes in two sizes, SOC
