One of the most elaborate and gor-
geous booths at the Mid-Pacific Klr-
mess at the old ishmarket, February

is under the charge of Miss Vera Da-
mon and a large corps of other ladies
whose names will be announced later.
J In the absence OF Miss Damon, S. M.
Damon this morning told of some OF
the special features of this booth.
The entrance from the street of the
nations. he says, will be through great
octagonal archway such as are to be
found throughout China. This will be
deliberately decorated with the gorgeous
dragon flags of China, a color scheme
that can not fail to strike the eye of
everyone who passes along the street
of the nations
Passing through this entrance, the
visitor will find himself in beautiful
Chinese tea garden in which will be
number of tea houses. The garden
will be respondent with Oriental flow
ers while here and there will be grow
ing clumps of stately bamboo.
At the tables within the tea houses
win be served in delicate cups the
choicest brews of old China, draughts
so delicious that the visitor will eagerly
avail himself of the golden opportunity
of purchasing the packages of teas
from the various provinces of the Chi
nese empire, that will be for sale in
the booth.
The numerous attendants in the booth
will be clothed in Chinese costume, and
that intending visitors may be assured
that everything win be correct it may
be stated that number of the ladies
who are assisting Miss Damon are
themselves Chinese.
one of the chief features of the occa-
sion will be Chinese bridal procession.
The dainty Chinese bride, clothed in
the elaborate costume called for by a
hgh-class Chinese wedding, will be
borne in a sedan chair by Chinese car
riers and will be attended by a numer-
Gus retinue of Chinese ladies and gen.
tlemen. Everything will be exactly as
it is at real Chinese wedding and the
people of Honolulu will have an oppor-
tunity to witness one of the strange
spectacles that are not unusual in Ho-

Department of Public Works could
not be cited as proof of this asser-

FASTENER SAYS
RANCH LIFE IS

Hard Work and Fresh Air Help
Digestion and Mean
Good Health.

BENJAMIN, the stomach MAN, who
is explaining his theory and medi-
cines to the public at the Honolulu
Drug Co. store on Fort street, is meet
ing more people each day and seems
to be attracting as much attention in
Honolulu as he has in Eastern cities.
Benjamins theory is that modern
ailments are largely due to stomach
trouble He claims his preparation
will regulate the digestive organs in
few weeks. In explaining his theory
Thursday afternoon he said: about
three out OF five people who come to
ask about my medicine say: My
nerves are all unstrung, or l am very
nervous or i am on the verge of
nervous prostration.' All this nervous
trouble is due to Just one thing-im-
perfect digestion

with nervous prostration? I never
did. The farmer gets up early. Out
he goes into The fresh air to put in

us up for week. At noon the, dinner

so hard that his stomach is just shout
ing for food, and YOU can bet it gets
it. The amount of corned beef, cab
bage, potatoes, bread, pie, milk, etc.,
that he puts away is a sight to see.

He doesn't feel dull and languid all

gestion is perfect. Whenever Il man
is digesting his food he's a well man.
But until the digestive organs are in
perfect condition good health is abb
solutely impossible.
"A tired, overworked stomach, pro-
duced by years of little outdoor exer-
else and too much hastily eaten food,
can cause an endless amount of all
ments, among them being liver COM

down, blood troubles and even rheu-
matism.
Most people, however are not SER

The reason for this is that in the
various crises of local history that
test men and nations, the interests OF
America and Americanism have found
hearty support from the German resi-
dents The dividing line of nation
atty has never marked a barrier that
prevented cooperation for the public
good. Honolulu's only regret in con-
nection with its German residents is
that it has not more of them, and the
German Nation is to be congratulated
on the high character of the men and
women by whom it is represented in
this part of our country.
