Wide Significance.

The white slave act, passed by the
last congress, provides for heavy pun.
ishments. Among other things, it
states that man who causes a woman
to be transported or aids in such trans
portation, for immoral purposes, is
guilty of felony.
The word transportation can be
given a wide significance. Men who,
after a supper at a restaurant, take a
girl in an automobile or carriage to
any place Whatsoever and indulge in
immoral relations can be prosecuted
under the white slave act.
Bertram, it is asserted, lived with
Otoka Owe and transported" her to
a house. She is school girl, but she
asserted when examined that she was
over sixteen. Her parents are also said
to have confirmed this.
The Bertram case win be followed
with a good deal of interest, especially
as it viii set a precedent in Honolulu.

Then the article proceeds to de-

fine frenzy, because we have pub.
lished facts regarding the effect OF
coffee on some people.
The narrowing tale goes on.
where a few years ago every
body drank coffee, several cups a
day, now we find in every walk in
life people who imagine they can
not drink it. (The underscoring Is
ours.) Burly blacksmiths, carpen-
tiers, laborers and athletes have dis
continued or cut down the use of
coffee; as there is not a person
who reads this and will not be able
to find the same conditions existing
among his own circle of acquaint-
ances, is 1t not well for the Brazil
fans to sit up and take notice?"
Isn't it curious these bur
ly" strong men should pick out cof-
fee to Imagine about? Why not
Imagine" that regular doses of
whiskey are harmful, or daily slugs
Of morphine?
II Imagination" makes the caf-
feline in coffee clog the liver, de-
press the heart, and steadily tear
down the nervous system, bringing
on one or more OF the dozens Of
types Of diseases which follow
broken-down nervous systems,
many people don't know 1t.
But It remained for the man who
has coffee, morphine or whiskey
to sell. to have the supreme nerve
to. say: "You only imagine your.
disorders. Keep on buying from
me-"
