20 Years
With Heart Trouble

"Dr. Miles Heart Remedy has
cured me of heart disease of
over 20 years standing. / was
so bad that | could not do my
work, and could scarcely draw
a full breath without fainting or
smothering. The doctor told me
he could do no more for me;
then | commenced taking the
Heart Remedy. I shall never
forget that night. I slept better
than had before in months. !
kept right on getting better, I'M
til I was perfectly WE'LL"
MRS. LAURA RUSSELL,
Logan, Iowa.
When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount of
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount of
air. The result is shortness of
breath, smothering spells, diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. DR.. Miles Heart REM
edy strengthens the heart nerves
and muscles, and in this way
increases the circulation.

THE COMET VISIBLE

The comet reported as seen from
the steamer Mauna Kea on Friday
night was plainly visible from KaimuM
last night shortly after sunset. No
doubt it could have been seen Friday
and Saturday evenings were it not for
clouds in the west by south sky where
it now appears. 1t is something like
ten degrees below Venus, the evening
star, in a diagonal line westwardly, so
that it falls below the horizon about
seven O'Clock. L was seen from the
steamer Kinau from Kauai on Satur-
day evening.
This is probably not Halleys comet,
but the comet reported by cable lately
as having been discovered in Africa,
visible with the naked eye in Cali
fornia. It's nucleus and tail pointing
upward in a noTtherly slant make
clearly defined silvery mark in the
heavens.
Ed Towse is one of those who watch
ed the comet. Il saw it quite plainly
from Kaimuki," said Towse thIs
morning my little girl described it
quite aptly as looking like a shooting
star standing still 1t was in the re-
gion of the sunset. After watching it
with the naked eye l looked at it
through glasses"

BURNS NIGHT
LIVELY KEPT

Waverley Hall was filled for the
Burns celebration by the Scottih This
tie Club on Saturday night, The pro-
gram as printed in Saturdays Star
was followed in the main; the ad-
dresses and music being well up to
the long established high standard OF
the Thistles. A feature of the evening
was the rousing manner in which God
Save the King was sung by the entire
company at the toast of King Edward.
An amusing transportation of the
British election campaign excitement
was prec:pitated by Consul Forster's
prof. nionist response to the royal
toast, his remarks of that nature being
received with applause mingled Win
outcres of dissent, and when Editor
Matheson, speaking of the land we
live in, replied to the Cosnul with
pro-Radical hot shot the contentious
uproar was near terrific. These and
the other speakers-Canon Simpson,
Deputy Attorney General Andrews and
Judge Lindsay-all made very credit
able efforts. James A. Wilder in comic
semi-musical sketches made a great
hit. Aud Lang Syne came late, but
after that the songs of Scotland only
ceased when the last car gongs were
sounding outside.

other after office hours.
Dr. Mackall started the ball rolling
by arranging the first entertainment.
There may be others, or such was
the wish expressed that evening.
Mayor Fern stated, during the even
ing, that he believed all those City
