GOOD NEWS
Many Honolulu Readers Have Heard
It and Profted Thereby.

1t anu EEOutSQ IRer6Dy.
'"Good news travels fast" and the
thousands of bad back sufferers in Ho.
nolulu are glad to learn that prompt
relief is within their reach. Many a
lame, weak and aching back is bad no
more, thanks to Doan S Kidney Pills.
thousands upon thousands Of people
are telling the good Lewis of their ex.
| perience with the Old Quaker Remedy.
Here is an example worth reading:
Elmer E. Pitts, 10 Pine ST, Skow-
hogan, Me-, says: elf there is anvone
who has reason to be grateful to Doan s
Baekache Kidney Pills it is I. Several
years ago l was employed as a motor
man on the street railway and it was
while thus engaged that l felt the
first symptoms of kidney trouble. I
believe the complaint was caused by
constant standing and the Earring I
received. The first symptom was back
ache, which caught me directly over the
kidneys. 1 paid little attention to this
trouble, thinking it would soon pass
away of its own accord, but such was
not the case. ! gradually grew worse
and after hard days work it was all
l could do to get home. My health con.
tlnued to decline and l was finally COM
PEELED to take to my bed. I remained
there for four months and was unable
to work for over year. I had a con-
slant backache and at times my back
felt as if it were disiointed. A kidney
weakness set in and I was bothered
both day and night by frequent de-
70 h. l. IA
feet and limbs were badly swollen and
the doctors said I had dropsy. / took
any amount of medicine, but I did not
improve and finally the doctors told my
wife that they could do nothing more
for me. I had lost flesh until l weighed
but ninety pounds and [ was in despair.
At this critical period my wife noticed
an advertisement about Doan's Back
ache Kidney Pills and was convinced
kthat they would help me. She pro-
cured a supply and though I had but
little faith in them, began their use.
I had taken Doan s Backache Kidney
Pills but few days before / could see
a slight Improvement and by the time
had used seven boxes [ was able to
be up and around From that time on
my health and strength rapidly return
ed and I was able to go to work. AS
took no other medicine at the time 1
was using Doan IS Backache Kidney
Pills, I give them the full credit for
my cure. Last fall I caught severe
cold which brought on a return Of the
trouble. I again used Doan s Backache
Kidney Pills and the contents of three
boxes drove away the attack
Doan' s Backache Kidney Pills are
sold by all druggists and storekeepers
at so cents per box (six boxes $3.50
or will be mailed on receipt of price by
the HOLSTER Drug Co, Honolulu, whole
sale agents for the Hawaiian Islands.

Secretary's Weekly Letter.
Honolulu October Ia I

Honolulu, October IA, 1909.
Chairman and Members of the Hawaii
Promotion Committee.
Gentlemen: By this time our 1910
Floral Parade is being very extensively
striking posters have probably by now
reached our representative in San Fran
cisco, from which point they will be
distributed throughout the United
States. A letter from Harry Mist, the
designer of the poster, received by the
Mongolia mail this week, brings this
information.
Our last mail has been extremely sat
isfactory in showing the interest which
has been aroused throughout the world
by our efforts. An editorial recently
published in the Louisville (Ky.) Cou-
rier-Journal on promotion work, cited
as one of the most conspicuous ex-
amples of efficient organization in this
line the Hawaii Promotion Committee.
This important paper knows Of US only
through our work, and such mention is
extremely encouraging.
The enforced suspension of our news
sheet which we formerly sent to news
noted in many instances, and inquiries
made as to the reason. Percy S. Allen,
of the Auckland New Zealand) Herald,
writes by the last Mariana mail:
care you still publishing the news
sheets3 The last one | got came about
three months ago. I would be glad if
you would kindly continue sending
these, as I personally take great in
terest in Hawaii and all the Islands
and [ reproduce many of the articles
in our paper, as from the Hawaii Pro-
motion Committee, and will go ON do
ing so if you will be good enough to
put me on your list again.
The usual number of letters from
prospective tourists are being received
To all such prospective visitors l am
urging them to make their steamship
reservations as early as possible, to
avoid possible disappointment on ac-
count of the heavy travel Hawaiiward.
A letter just received from Mrs.
Frances King Headlee, our representa-,
tive in Los Angeles, indicates that good
work is being done there. She states
that she constantly meets persons re-
turning from the Alaska Yukon-P Pacific
Exposition, at Seattle, and they uni
formly appear to have been most
strongly impressed with Hawaii IS ex-
hibit. .She further says: 81 certainly
note an unusual interest in Hawaii and
feel confident that if steamer accom-
modations be available, very heavy
season will be noted I am working
now on my different lectures, perfect
ing them as I can for the purpose
of having them manifolded as Mr..
Wood wished, to be sent throughout
the East to lecturers and public speak
ers who would be able to use them. -

Fleet for Floral Parade.

1t was also suggested on behalf of
Mr. Trent that if the Pacific feet could
be here on Washington s Birthday it
would be an additional attraction to the
floral parade held on that day. The
fleets schedule calls for her arrival
here on February / and to leave for
San Francisco ten days later. The sec
rotary was instructed to recommend to
the chamber of commerce that the pres
ence of the fleet here on that day would
be important, and the chamber of com

Floral Parade Plans.

Considerable discussion was given
over to the floral parade plans. So far
no one has been elected as director, but
several names have been suggested and
these persons will be seen. The com
mittee plans more ambitious parade
than has heretofore been held
1t is quite likely that the committee
will not attempt to hold anything more
than the floral parade, doing away with
the idea of a street carnival. Tt is uH-
derstood that the Elks are talking up
carnival, and if one is held it will be
entirely under their own auspices.

General Manager J. M. Parker, of the Arkansas, Louis jana and Gulf rail- roal which is to be extended to this city from Hamburg, Ark, and thence to Hagen, Prairie county, Ark, was in the city last night and announced that on yesterday he practically let the conract to the Blodgett Bridge Building company, of Kansas City, for the plans and specifications of the proposed railroad and wagon bridge to be constructed across the Arkansas river five miles above the city. The contract was awarded by Mir. Par ker as representative of the bridge company, recently organized by his associates for the purpose of flnanc- ing the proposition. A M Blodgett and W A Wheeler. representing the Blod- gett company. left immediately for Kansas City to enter upon their work

FINE PREACHERS
 FINE CHURCHES Rev. Vermillion Says Some Ministers Will Not Preach
 i'll Common Churches
IT'S A WRONG IDEA
Declares That God -BIc>>cs Those Who Preach Who Do His
 Services.

At the beginning of the services at the Ohio Street Baptist Church last night Key. Wilmington announced that besides the regular services at o'clock a. m. and 7::;0 D. m today. there will be q mons meeting at Ohio Street Church and a women s meeting at the First Baptist Church. both at , o'clock in the afternoon.
 Rev. Vermillon's theme was The Christians Inheritance
 The speaker said that 1t is only nat ural that no one preacher would suit everybody. that some are more learned than some others and that this some- times causes trouble among some peo- pie just as it did in Corinth. where some of the church wanted Paul and some wanted Apollus. He then point ed out some of the differences be- tween the two and how the differences may exist among the preachers of to- day but added that God has a use for each one in his kingdom.
 He said that these differences may exist even among the lay members He declared that there are some preachers who do not like to preach unless they can preach in a fine church but that this is not the correct idea; for God will bless those who do his services even ill the poorest place He said God has { use for each one of his people anG that they inherit many great bless ings. Many of the perpleXities ol ,, life vanish from the Christian who is pressing on in Gods service and is ready and willing to do anything tha needs to be done.
 He showed that the present belong To him who is in Gods service an that he does not have to spend sleep less night thinking about death an it's consequences, that the future he longs to the followers of Christ { enjoy and spend with God in peac and happiness forever He urged hi congregation to lay hold of this in heritance by accepting Christ a their Savior There were several re quests for prayer The subject fo Sunday morning is The Second Com ing of Christ For Sunday afternoo Hardening the Heart, and for Sun day evening, The Last Judgment.
