CONFIDENCE.
We Back Up Our Statements With
Our Personal Reputation and
Money

We are so positive that we can re-
lieve constipation. no matter how
chronic il may be, that we offer to
furnish the medicine free of all cost
if we fail.
We think that it is worse than use
less to attempt to cure constipation
with cathartic drugs. Cathartics may
do much harm They may cause a
reaction, irritate and weaken the
bowels, and make constipation more
chronic
Constipation is often accompanied
and may be caused by weakness of
the nerves and muscles of the large
intestine or colon. To expect a cure
you must therefore tone up and
strengthen those parts and restore
them to healthier activity.
The discovery of the active princi-
pie of our remedy involved the Ia
Dor of skillful research chemists
This remedy produces results such as
are expected from the best of the
best-known intestinal tonics, and it
is particularly prompt in its results.
We want you to try Rexall Order
lies on our guarantee. They are ex-
ceedingly pleasant to take and are
ideal for children. They apparently
act directly on the nerves and mus
Giles of the bowels, having, it would
seem, a neutral action on other or
gans or glands. They do not purge
or cause inconvenience. If they do
not positively cure chronic or habit
ual constipation and thus relieve the
myriads of associate or dependent
chronic ailments, your money will be
refunded. Try RexalI Orderlies at
our risk Three sizes of packages,
10 cents, IS cents and so cents. Re-
member, you can obtain Rexall Rem
edies in this community only at our
store-the Rexall store. The Thomas

DR.. Cummings, in speaking about
the great number of Japanese in Ha-
wall, said: when the civilized ma
lions first became aware of the ex.
istence of the Hawaiian group, it is
estimated there were 250,0OO natives.
Now there are not over 10000 and the
number is decreasing rapidly. The
Japanese, on the other hand, have in.
creased rapidly, and it is estimated
that they are nearing the 100000
mark.
THE Japanese are not well liked.
Next to them in numbers are the
Chinese. They are engaged princi-
pally in rice, pineapple and sugar
growing"

vast sums of money to carry out this
IDEA, and some of them will not con-
slider the cost, though it cost them
twenty millions and more. In fact,
anyone who will take the trouble to
read the articles in the magazines

at the amount of work that is being
done in this direction, nor can they
fail to be imbued with this idea if
they have any idea of symmetry. art

But the best of it is the fact that
no extra expense will be necessary
with the exception of removing the
opera house, and this is but slight
in comparison to that of tearing
down the Fort street property, which
is among the finest in the city. and

can contemplate seeing that fine
property and the many beautiful
structures torn down with euuanim-

would not be a grand thing to have
our city among the foremost ranks
Of the most progressive cities of the
United States and in after ages to
have it pointed out as one of the
most beautiful cities in the world.
But to do this some regard will have
to be given to the width of the

We have completed the list of slides
for DR.. Wadman who will be leaving
soon on a trip that will take him as
far East as Boston. He expects to
give one or more illustrated talks on
Hawaii at every stopping place. We
have also supplied the doctor with
several thousand small leaflets which
he will distribute as he goes along

Ohio excursion of some three years
since. The excursion will be run
whenever a suitable steamer can be
secured.
The encouragement received by the
Grand Trunk Railway and Steamship
Company in it's effort to work up an
excursion to Hawaii last winter leads
them to believe that they can be en-
tirely successful next winter. One
excursion for which they are now Sc.

Hawaii; Hawaii to Panama, thence
up the Coast of Central America and
Mexico stopping at the leading Pa

The outlook for excursions the COM
