a young man agreed to pay his wife's
mother 500 on the first day of each
year. He settled in Canada, and when
he came to make the remittance he
deducted the amount of the postage
and sent her only S99.S4. The mother
in-iaw insisted that she must have the
other 16 cents, and after they had
quarreled by mail about it for a
month or two she had her attorneys
bring suit against him In the Ontario
courts. She made him pay. too, and
stuck him for the cost of the action,
though she was obliged to fee her
own lawyers. The total expenses of
this sixteen cent lawsuit were said to
be exactly $612, most of which fell
upon the economical son-in-law.

What the Kidneys Do.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
Of impure matter daily, when I'M
healthy some part of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms
pain in the back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism. govt,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight and
hearing, dizziness, irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
in the urine, etc. But if you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.

SUPERVISORS.
AID FLORAL
PARADE
Assent to Closing of
Streets for Street
Carnival.

Authority to close the streets to We
hicles around the square bounded by
Fort, Hotel, Bishop and King street
during the hours of the proposed street
carnival on the evening of Washing
toms Birthday, was given by the Board
of Supervisors at their meeting last
night, at which Quinn and Logan gave
the affair big boost in order to quiet
the scruples of Aylett and Kane, who
wanted to refer the matter to the City
Attorney for legal opinion as to the
power of the Board to close any street
TO vehicles. AS it was explained by the
member of the Floral Parade committee
presenting the request that the permis-
sion of the Superintendent of Public
Works was being asked for the same
thing and there could be no question as
to the legality of the matter, the OBJ
jections were withdrawn. The order
closes the sections of the four streets
named from the hour of half past seven
eleven CLOCK of the same evening, dur
ing which time the only vehicles which
will be allowed to come on to the re-
stricted streets will be the cars of the
Rapid Transit company, the machines
of the two garages facing the streets
and the decorated automobiles, while
for the greater portion of the restricted
area there win be no vehicles at all, the
whole street space to be given up to
pedestrians taking part in the fete.
This was one of the matters dealt
with by the City Fathers, the greater
part of the time at the meeting being
taken up with passing bills. All the
bills went by the circuitous route of
being presented by the committee, re-
fused by the Mayor, the vote demanded
once, twice and thrice by Logan, again
refused by the Mayor, put to vote by
Logan, the motion ordering the auditor
to pay put by supervisor, the motion
denied by the Mayor, the vote demand
ed once, twice, thrice by Logan, again
refused by the Mayor, put by Logan.
This takes time, especially when the
bills for whole month for most of the
departments have to go through it one
by one. Time would be saved if the
stereotyped denials and demands could
be put on rubber stamp and entered
that way. There was no discussion on
any of the accounts, the nearest APP
proach to an inkling that the members
had a knowledge of what the expenses
of the city were amounting to being the

NEWELL WANTS SCENES
Of HAWAII AS IT IS

Director F. H. Newell, of the Reela-
nation Service, writes that he cannot
get pictures of Hawaii as it is. He
can get lots of pictures of the country
as it used to be and other pictures OF
it as some people think it is, but com.
mon, ordinary, everyday life in the Is.
lands is not snapped by the camera
men. In this regard he has written to
II. p. Wood, of the Promotion Commit
tee, and to Governor Frear. His letter
to Mr.. Wood says:
81 have just sent Governor Frear a
few of the newspaper articles on Ha-
wall that have come to my attention.
There is a considerable demand on the
part of writer's for further information,
and if you can send few carefully
selected views, | believe that these can
be handed to men who are making a
speciality of magazine or similar arti.
cles. Such views to be useful should be
of thoroughly typical conditions such
as exist on the Islands, and not of ec-
centricities or unusual things. We do
not want to disseminate the kind or
stuff given in public lectures, where
natives are eating poi or the native
dances are 'accentuated. On the con-
trary, best use can be made of simple
pictures of cottages of well-to-do me-
chanics or small farmers with some
member of the family in the fore
ground; also pictures showing little
garden patch and the ordinary homely
scenes. which after all are very difficult
to get!
81 suggest that you talk the matter
over with Governor Frear and see
whether especial efforts can not be
made along this line. 1 have been en-
deavoring to improve my lantern slide
collection, but have been disappointed
IN getting pictures of this kind. In
other words, 7iews of things as they
ought to be, rather than as they have
been, are what we should have.

Revenues, expenditures and the

invited to consider the subject a clear
idea of the situation. He pointed out
