HOT WEATHER
HINTS

Now that the hot days are upon US
and we hear of prostrations almost
daily it is we'll to adopt some plan
whereby the danger is reduced to a
minimum. The first and most i'm
portant reform is in our eating and
drinking. The body does not require
such coarse, strong food as we have
been accustomed to, and iced drinks
should only be taken in moderation.
Most people have learned this lesson
and the tendency is now toward
more simple diet A small quantity
of food, properly digested, is a thou
sand times better than lot eaten and
left to ferment and cause you untold
agony Keep cool and cheerful, and
if there is anything wrong with your
digestion take a dose of Hostetter's $
Stomach Bitters before each meal. 1t
aids digestion wonderfully and pre-
vents Dyspepsia, Costiveness, Cramps
and Diarrhoea.

spiracy, translations of editorials and
other articles that appeared in the

SEDITIOUS LITERATURE
They contained statements that those
who were opposing the strike were
traitors to their country and "are de-
stroying the colonial foundation of the
Japanese nation in Hawaii" Some of
the articles also urged the death of
those among the Japanese who were
opposing the movement for higher
wages.

tional department of the Japanese gov
eminent is acting as interpreter in the
trial and was brought here specially
for that purpose. Professor Dening
