will be about forty polo horses, or mes
senger horses, as they are officially
termed, to be used mainly for polo
playing among the officers. The horses
are especially picked for this purpose.
The War Department encourages this
form of equestrian athletics and in
few months the Fifth IS polo team may
be in shape to meet local teams. The
object of the War Department is said
to be not merely to encourage polo play
ing, but to inure the officers to expert
Workmanship, one of the vital require
ments in polo playing. The horses are
apportioned FIVE to a troop.
Island Horses for Cavalry.
In future all new horses for the
Fifth, or for any future cavalry regi-
ment stationed here, may be bought
largely in the islands. 1t is understood
that the War Department has aequi-
esced in the recommendation that island
horses be given a chance to show their
| merits as cavalry mounts. Colonel
| Schuyler may make a tour of the isl
ands, taking in all the ranches where
horses are bred for the purpose of
thoroughly familiarizing himself with
pedigrees and with the manner in
which the horses are brought up.

Out at the Fifth Cavalry canton
ment at Leilehua the hammer and saw
are as active as ever and gangs of men
are working with feverish haste to
erect eight permanent stables to house
the mounts of the two squadrons. One
building is almost completed, a long,
well arranged stable of ample size to
accommodate 104 horses. The next one
in line is partially up. For the third,
the foundation posts are in and ready
for the uprights for the roof; on the
fourth site the plowmen have almost
finished the work of cutting and filing
and the ground has been broken for
the remaining four stables.
The ground is Uttered with great
piles of lumber and stone and the activ-
ity spreads over a zone almost equal
to the site of the camp apportioned to
the officers and men. The horses are
still picketed at a considerable distance
from the camp proper, and the new
stables are being built between the
picket line and the tents of the troop
ers.
Each stable structure begins with a
large room to be devoted to saddles
and other riding gear. The main struc-
ture extends out, long line of stalls
under an ornate roof. Down the cen
ter of each building is wide passage
| way. The horses heads face toward
this. The roof extends far out beyond
the outer ends of the stalls, covering
an outer passageway. Each stall i:
| designed to hold two animals.
Horses in Good Condition.
Under the constant ministrations Of
Veterinary Vans Agnews and the troop
ers the horses have been kept in gool
condition, and show few marks of thei
long journey from Arizona. Nearly al

ing been made yet to clip them. Clip

TRUTH ABOUT CkTARRH :.s=s
Sensible Methods Will Cure it-GOol-

TO Cure Catarrh.

Catarrh can never be cured by taking
medicines into the stomach nor by
sprays, atomizers or douches.
Intelligent physicians have long ago
discarded such ideas and not one OF them
would be worth consideration were II
not for the fact that INSCRIPTIONS per
sons prey upon the ignorance OF the
people in regard to new discoveries.
Catarrh is caused by germs and just
as long as these germs thrive IN the
folds, crevices, hooks and corners OF
the mucous membrane that line the
nose, throat and chest, just so long will
you have catarrh.
There is only one way TO cure catarrh,
and that is to kill the germs.
There is only one remedy that will
kill the germs when it gets where the
germs are, and that is Hyomei.
Hyome is made chiefly from Austral-
ian Eucalyptus and Eucalyptol com
bined with other germ killing antisep-
tics. Just breathe it in through the
hard rubber inhaler that comes with
each outfit and relief is immediate.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surface of the
system, thereby destroying the founda-
ton Of the disease, and giving the pa
tent strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
