The Kaiser's latest accomplishment Is the learning of Norwegian, of which he has already good smattering. Last year he could only speak a few words, and, as he enjoys nothing more than chatting in an unconventional manner with the people of any country he visits he determined to learn Norwe- gian. So. all unknown to anyone, he took lessons from a professor of Scan dinavian languages. The Kaiser goes about airing his new accomplishment whenever he has an opportunity He will hold several reviews, among them one at Altona and one at Stettin. He will join the Kaiserin at Wilhelms- hohe palace for fortnight, and then come to Potsdam. to be present at the grand review September l and ?.

country would be properly distributed
among those entitled to them. The
new home company cannot possibly
collect in premiums each year the
amount of $S5,2O225, which repre-
sents the increase in premium
charges since 1906, for if they did,
their business would not be on a safe
basis. The company doing the larg.
est business in the Territory last
year was the Guardian Assurance
Company, represented by H. Hackfeld
& Co., Limited, and it collected in
premiums only $36,671S3, and of this
a large proportion is paid for re-
insurance by the company's head
office. Is the new company going to
work for the reduction of rates in the
Territory? A reduction of rates will
certainly not improve it's standing and
capacity to pay losses.
The marine business done during
1910 amounted to $6O,4O3, 226.97 insur-
ance written, and premiums charged
were s2SS,O6377. The losses paid
amounted to $15,31S.29. The marine
insurance business of the Territory
of Hawaii, consisting mostly of sugar
shipments, is largely distributed
among all the marine companies of
America and Europe.

TO BUILD UP
THE HEALTH
Take a Tonic for the Blood and
You Will Be Surprised to See
How Troublesome Symp-
toms Disappear.

Good health is more nearly a ques-
ton of pure blood than most people
think
When the blood becomes thin and
impure the system breaks down at its
weakest point, perhaps the nerves or the
stomach. But the trouble is in the
blood and when the blood is restored to
its normal condition the disease, whether
of the nerves or stomach, is cured.
There can be no permanent cure of a
trouble caused by thin blood until the
blood is built UP.
