AN AMERICAN CONQUEST

latest conquest, viz, the United States

used than any other in the world. The
secret of its success is due TO the fact
it is not only delicious to the palate,
but that it is equally beneficial to the
stomach and the entire system. From
Philadelphia the superintendent writes:

What He Saw at kilauea

sively around the world, returned from

day of this week; in an interview he
said:
Yes, 1 have just been TO the vol
cauo; was it worth while? Well.
I should think so; it was worth
going around the world to see; I
would not have missed it for any
consideration; it is a spectacular
performance which cannot be de-
scribed: it is so awfully fascina-
ting that one can hardly leave II;
if nv business would have per-
s. mitted, I would have remained

is that your Honolulu people do
not make more of it; they can't
realize. the extent of the present
activity: I understand that hun
dreds went up to see the flow OF
1907, and that it was not a bit
more attractive than Kilauea is
at the present time.
Everybody returns from the vol
cano with the same enthusiasm and
vet Honolulu has not awakened to the
fact that a great eruption is taking
place within twenty-four hours travel
