THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL. Few People Know How Useful 1t Is In Preserving Health and Beauty.
Costs Nothinq To Try.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disinfect- ant and purifier in nature. but few req lize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is not drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and im- purities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating on- ions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and i'm proves the complexion it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural ana eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered will low charcoal, and other harmless anti septics in tablet form or rather in the form of large pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey
 The daily use of these lozenges will Q soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is that TO possible harm can result from their continued use, but, on the contrary, great benefit.
 Buffalo physician, in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: 1T ad- wise Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat I also believe the liver is greatly ben efited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents box at drug stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuart s Charcoal Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets"

The racing will begin promptly at
two p. m. on Sunday, with small

be followed by the great race of the
day, next to that of the boys of the
fleet against each other of the six-pad-

dozen or more canoes will prob
ably start in this contest and nearly q
hundred paddlers, making as pretty a
race as one could well conceive Of.
The regatta committee has made its
preparations for splendid carnival of
water sports, despite the fact that only
two weeks notice was given of the
change of program from modern row
boats to the old native Hawaiian canoes
and surfhoards.

BIG CARNIVAL OF WATER
SPORTS. SUNDAYS EVENT
Proficiency of Haoes and Kanakas in Canoe
and on Surf Board to Be Tested
at Waikiki Beach.

Forty separate canoes have already
been entered for the Waikiki races on
Sunday afternoon. These will all be
given shelter on the Outrigger Club
grounds.
The grass houses will be occupied by
visiting Hawaiian contestants and sew
eral tents will probably be raised by
the side of the lagoon to shelter the
men and women of the native club from
Kalihi.
Altogether the beach between the
Seaside and Moana hotels will present
an appearance such as it made years
ago when Queen Emma kept her canoes
there upon her own kuleana and used
to go out herself, to ride upon the surf
board at which sport she was a past
mistress.
The races will either start or finish
at the Moana pier, so that the grounds
of both hotels and the board walks be-
tween will be the point of vantage from
which to view the events. The canoe
sheds of the Outrigger club, after the
canoes have been launched, will be re.
served for club members and officers
under the palm leaf shelters and each
member of the club will be entitled, on
presentation of his membership card, to
two seats for the use of members of his
family.
The fleet regatta committee has been
busy anchoring buoys and filling up the
crews of the various boats, which, by
the way, will total more than hundred
paddlers, as most of the canoes are
entered in more than one race, and a
number in several.
There should be some remarkable
stunts on the surfboard to startle the
men from the war vessels. A number

GOOD BOXERS
ARE SECURED

Lieutenant Weaver of the flagship
Connecticut is the officer in charge of
the sporting events of the Atlantic
fleet. Matches are made and games
arranged through him; in fact, he is
decidedly the whole thing in the sport
ing line on the fighting ships.
Weaver is a pleasant man to meet
and one who gives the impression that
he knows about everything there is
to know of athletics. He possesses a
grace Of manner which instantly places
a stranger at ease when conversing
with him.
The lieutenant, seen by an Adver-
tiser man yesterday, stated that the
boxers of the fleet would be open to
engagements during their stay in Ho-
nolulu, but that the official committee
would have first call on them, and that
after they got through with them the
local boxing clubs might have their
services, provided satisfactory terms
were arranged.
AS regards baseball, Lieutenant
Weaver said that no schedule of games
could be played on account of eoahng
operations. The best team of the feet
or picked team from the feet will,
however, play a game with the best
nine Honolulu can put in the field,
some time next week.
''The arrangement must be- said
Weaver, Hthat all sailors be admitted
free to the game Civilians may be
charged admission if the local pro-
moters of the game see fit. The sail
ors will take no share of the gate re-
ceipts, however.

CHAMP. MEYERS
HAS ACCIDENT

Meyers, the lightweight boxing cham
pion of the fleet, who was to have been
matched with Young Nelson, broke his
hand in recent contest and will be
out of the game during the stay of the
fleet in Honolulu.
The sailors are greatly disappointed
at Meyers misfortune for they have
the greatest confidence in their man
and stood ready to back him, it is
said, for several thousand dollars.
The withdrawal of Meyers leaves the
field clear for match between George
Schilling and Nelson.
A proposition has been made to these
men but there is a hitch about the
weight.
Schilling will not weigh over rs
pounds and he wants Nelson to make
124 pounds ringside. The latter, how
ever, is holding out for 124 pounds at
6 p. m.
It is probable that the match will be
made today.

O. clock sharp.
The arena will accommodate 100

admission, the bouts being put on SOLE
Iy for the benefit of the visitors.
A good band will be in attendance
and no pains have been spared to make
the evening as enjoyable as possible.
There win be boxing, wrestling and
tugzof-war contests at the fshmarket
every night that the fleet is here and
the best talent available has been 50,
cured and matched.
The first event tonight viii be a
tug-of-war between an All-Amerlcan
and Portuguese team.
This viii be followed by a wrestling
match between Sailor Roberts, the
champion of Hawaii, and husky sailor
from the U. S. S. Iroquois.
A six-round contest between Mike
Patton, the local heavyweight cham
pion and "Demon" Silva, will wind
up the card.
One of the chief fixtures for next
week will be a tug-of-war between the
Hawaiis, champion of the Territory
and the best team that the feet can
produce.
Paddy Ryan will referee and Fl. M.
Ayres oficiate as master of ceremonies.

These

round go on Tuesday night. These
boys viii weigh III pounds.
Fredericks is the boy who was de-
feated by Rafferty, for the feather
weight championship of the feet. Raj
ferty and Young Nelson fought ten
round draw in Honolulu a few weeks
ago.
There is possibility that on Tues
day night the winner of the Schloss-
berger-Patton go may box six rounds
with Altleri, the ex-champion heavy
weight of the feet. Altieri belongs to
the Missouri.
The fight for the heavyweight cham
pionship took place in Los Angeles,
with Jim Jeffries the third man in the
ring. Many who saw the battle de-
clare that the worst that Altieri should
have had was a draw.
Paddy Ryan also has hopes of being
able to secure matches for Huihui and
Young Nelson with some of the feet
scrappers. If the latter will make 125
pounds there is a man in sight for him,
and a good one at that
