DOCTORS SHIFT.
Now Gets Along Without II.

A physician says: Until last fall ]
used to eat meat for my breakfast and
suffered with indigestion until the
meat had passed from the stomach.
Last fall | began the use of Grape
Nuts for breakfast and very soon
found | could do without meat, for my
body got all the nourishment neces
sary from the Grape-Nuts and since
then / have not had any Indigestion
and am feeling better and have in
creased in weight.
"Since finding the benefit I derived
from Grape Nuts I have prescribed the
food for all my patients suffering from
indigestion or over-feeding and also
for those recovering from disease
where l want food easy to take and
certain to digest and which will not
overtax the stomach
II always find the results look for
when l prescribe Grape-Nuts. For
ethical reasons please omit my name"
Name given by mail by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
The reason for the wonderful
amount of nutriment, and the easy
digestion of Grape-Nuts is not hard to
find.
In the first place, the starchy part
Of the wheat and barley goes through
various processes OF cooking, to per
fectly change the starch into dextrose
or grape-sugar, in which state 1t is
ready to be easily absorbed by the
blood
The parts in the wheat and barley
which Nature can make use of for re-.
building brain and nerve centers are
retained in this remarkable food, and
thus the human body is supplied with
the powerful strength producers. SO

Grape-Nuts each day for a weel, or

The Censor

Eugene Walker is making great
hit in London with his strong drama,
The Easiest Way" said a manager
Il dined with Walter at the Cafe
Royal last month. He talked lot
about the English censor.
He gave me a good illustration OF
the grandmotheiiy way the censor
treats play. He said a playwright
had this passage in love scene:
Then. dearest Mabel, we will meet
tonight at 10 in the old lane by the
ruined mill. There should be lovely
moonlight
"The censor ran his blue pencil
through this paragraph. and request
ed in the margin that it be changed to:
Then, Miss Mabel. we will meet
in the garden this afternoon at T.
provided of course, your mother can
be present, The weather promises to
to be cloudless"

When he pressed her to tell him

SPAIN AND PORTUGAL
BEST LABOR SOURCES
Doctor Clark Says Inquiries Still
Coming from Both Countries
Improving Conditions.

Mainland, Portugal and Spain are at
present the places from which the i'm
migration authorities look for the best
class of immigrants for Hawaii, accord
ing to statement by DR.. Victor Clark
yesterday. When asked as to reports
that Portuguese were not anxious to
come here now DR.. Clark said that
the report was true only as to the Ma.
deiras.
CAT present there are practically no
applications by people who want to
come here from the Madeiras, ''said Doc
tor Clark. "This is owing to local con-
ditions on the Islands. But in Portugal
there are still inquiries, and the same
is true of Spain. Messrs. Brown and
Campbell are acting in cooperation, and
finding these two countries the best
places to work in. It seems likely at
this time that Portuguese and Spaniards
will continue to come here.'
The plan of having M. A. Silva, agent
of the local board of immigration, ac-
company the next steamer here, is ex-
pected to result in better conditions on
the steamer. Former steamers have had
good deal of trouble, owing to sick
ness, ETC., and there has been some loss
of life. Silva will study conditions en-
route, and will be able to make recon.
mendations of value for future steam
ers.
Doctor Clark left for Kauai last
night on tour of inspection. He is
keeping in very close touch with the
immigrants that came in on the Willes
den and the trip is made particularly to
ascertain just how the newcomers are
adapting themselves to the changed
conditions they find in their new homes

full if these benefits were not neutral
lied by other countries countervailing
them for their shipping. The crux of
the matter with regard to developing
merchant marine for the foreign
trade is that American capital would
not be satisfied with the margin of
profit now being realized by foreigners
in shipping investments in the general
freighting business. So that any meas.
ure that would place our ships on an
equality with foreign ships, both as
to first cost and operating, would fail
in its purpose. 1t would be far more
practical to work on lines of least re
sistanee and provide, through free
canal, every inducement for American
| capital to engage in our coastwies bust
ness. A fleet of naval auxiliaries; par
ticularly Golfers, could be developed
to meet all requirements, and they
would be available Immediately when
required, as compared to having ships
distributed all over the world, in the
foreign trade.
GA government line and the admit.
tance of foreign ships to our eoastwise
trade, even under our flag, would be
the finishing blow to our merchant ma

PACIFIC CABLE
REPORTS BREAK
interruption Is Somewhere Be
tween the Guam and Midway
Island Stations.
(From Wednesdays Advertiser }

The Pacific cable is broken some
where between here and Guam, and di.
rect communication between Honolulu
and the Far East is not at present pos
sible. Beyond the fact that the break
is not far from Midway, the cable in
struments on Midway have not been
able to get any information. Whether
the break was due to submarine earth
quake, or to gradual wearing out, is a
matter of opinion which cannot be de-
eided until the repairs are made.
Anyone who wants to send message to
Yokohama now must send it via San
Francisco. 1t goes from there all round
the world, and the cost is $3l9 per
word, which makes very short mes
sage cost lot of money. The regular
charge, when the Pacific cable is work
ing, is "a cents per word.
There is very deep water beyond
Midway and near the Guam portion of
the line is the famous "Nero hole, -
which at the time when it was sound
ed recorded the greatest ocean depths
known, there being about six miles of
| water IN I0e - nOle. Il ne DTedk IN Tie
cable, however, is apparently much near.
er Midway than Guam, and consider.
ably this side of the deep hole
The cable ship Restorer will be sent
to make the necessary repairs. She is
now in Vancouver, but will leave for
Honolulu in few days, en- route to the
scene of the break.
Finding the location of the break is
not very difficult task, with the aid Of
the instruments in use at the various
cable offices. 1t is possible, by vari
Gus delicate tests, to decide within q
few miles where the current is inter
rupted, and the Restorer will pick ~
the broken ends and mend them.
The Restorer was stationed here fol
years without having a job of cable re
pairing to do, for the Pacific cable
has worked without difficulty ever since
it was laid. Except for the interrup
tion caused by the destruction of tn,
San Francisco cable office at the time
of the big fire, there never has bee1
a break between here and the Coast
A break between here and San Fran
cisco would be serious blow to busi
ness, as it would mean sending mes
sages for the mainland all round thu
world through Midway, Guam, and tn,
Far East, and that wo1ld be very ex
pensive and comparatively slow.
