From the New York Sun
 The biggest fish at the Aquarium, and also. among the fishes. the biggest cater. is a jewish that arrived here from Key West, Fla, Octorer T., 1911. This fish is five feet in length and weights 25g pounds. It has a biz, bulky body and a big head. which would measure about b inches across at the base of the paws. Its big mouth opens wide and Keep; it could take in the bottom of water bucket.
 This big fish could easily take codfsh weighting four or five pounds apiece whole. but they don't feed it that way. They give 1t for food codfish and herring the herring whole. but the codfish cut up in strips weightins about pound ana a half each. Of codfisn and herring to- gcther this big fish eats about 10 pounds daily, 70 pounds wee.S.
 Of all the dweilers in the Aquarium there is but one that eats more, that be- ing the sea lion. which takes % pounds of food daily; but the sea lion is eight feet long and weight so pounds.

Then knew of many men who are in business ana who must be afflicted by the excess or fat they carry around. Lawyers, doc tors. bankers, brokers, merchants-to all of whom the loss of fat would mean as more striking and attractive ap- pearance Women are not as fickle as men. but wives do not like to see their husbands grow coarse and gross from too much flesh. So I decided to let the world share my secret. l knew there were dozens of unsuccessful fat reducers on the market. so l thought to myself If these people can make living by selling an unsuccessful, harmful. drug, would be make e-believe fat reducer remedy, why shouldn't do well by selling one that Is a gen. uine drugless, delightful. home fat-re- I began tentatively in small way

That I had reduced myself at the rate of a pound day after all other so-ealled cures had failed: that my treatment was drug

 Her Duty to Humanity
 Here was the thing that makes Miss Hamilton different from all others in the mail order business. She feels that she Is performing a duty to humanity. Denver is justly proud of Miss Ham ilton and of her success. Her offices in the Bank Building are sumptuously fitted out. probably the handsomest offices in that great thriving city at the foot of the Rockies, where hund- reds of women assist Miss Hamilton to send out each day tens of thousands of free copies of her great book en- titled Fat Reduction Without Drugs, now In it's 14th edition. As l stepped out of her offices into the glorious sunshine of this favored climate. I could not help feeling that the world would be much better for more women like Marjorie Hamilton, more women with capabillty, with true hearts, with the faith that conquers. And as a woman read a lesson of encourage ment to all women in her achieve ments, and I hope this rapid impress sion of the most discussed business woman in the United States may be the spur to other women to greater eff forts for the benefit of their. sex and towards the attainment of that goal that Is laid down as the right and privilege of every one who lives in this great land of ours, the free and untrammeled pursuit of health, wealth and happiness.

 Her Battle for Success
 "The funds for my first advertising were scraped together at such personal sacrifices of dearly beloved treasures as I never dreamed I should have the courage to make. Then l sat back and waited. l had no office, just desk room in some other office, and there l sat all day, watching the door for the coming of the postman. Day after day I waited, and then the answers began coming in, slowly and uncertainty at first and then a little faster. They all wanted to know about my treatment. I sent particulars broadcast, free, and the rush was on, and 1t has never ceased. The public, which eventually winnows the chaff from the wheat of every proposition, was with me. l was able to increase my advertising ap- propriation and enlarge my office facilities, and was soon equipped to take care of the growing tide of in qulries and demands for my treatment. Then the greatest Influence for my sue cess that l know of came to my as sistance. There is between fat people freemasonry without rites or cere- monial, even as there is between h. valids afflicted in the same fashion.

 This privilege is often denied her
 suburban sister because chickens, true
 tC their nature, crave freedom and ex-
 ercise. and these together work havoc
 to neighboring gardens, flower beds

 They use no nests. dropping their eggs on the ground and, unlike other ducks. they do not require running wa ter. These qualities alone should com mend them to all interested in poultry. hut when added to the fact that they lay more and better eggs than hens are free from sickness and disease and are never bothered with lice and other vermin it will be clearly seen why they are the most talked of bird in the sohtn 1 today.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Appeal for Flowers

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Have you ever thought of the good you could do with the flowers after they are not as fresh as you might desire to sell or to embelish your rooms after the ball is over?" Have you given one thought to the many shut ins' of every description--invalids. cripples the old. people. who have not yet lost all joy in the beauties God has so bountifully spread upon this earth but are unable to get them? Only couple of days ago l was visiting one of our hospitals and among the many others was a dear little boy of years. I stopped to speak to him for d moment. Oh, so bright and cheerful, as he tried to be. but pa :hetic to degree. It is just possible he may spend years. If not his entire lifetime, just as he is. I was at the time wearing some sprays of lilac. 1 mad been wearing them for hours and they were very much wilted, but If you could have seen the sparkle of his eyes, the smile of pleasure that glowed in his little face as l offered him spray of them you would never throw another flower away as long as there was any color or sfragance to It. Then there are the picture books, cards and other lit- tie things too numerous to mention that would brighten their lives if only Tor few hours and cost you, oh, so lis; tic trouble.
 l know that some of you are very. very busy, so l have Q proposition 10 make to you. It is this l at present have some little time to spare. so if any uf you have any of the things men, tloned and no time to carry them just call Sister Mary. Peoples phone 7344, or

 A prettier sight cannot be shown poultry lovers than a. flock of the Amer ican Indian Runner ducks. Ther beau- Itiful fawn and white color. their erect carriage, racy appearance and quick movements give them a grace all their own, and in view of their immense pop ralrity and ready sale it will pay any enc to at least investigate these verita- Ible "egg machines and learn more of their nature and profitable habits.

Louise Pratt
Has Accident.
Teacher Was Thrown From Brake
On Road To Keahna-Rendered
Unconscious.

Miss Louise Pratt, the well known
teacher, is being congratulated or
her narrow escape from death last
Thursday. As it is the young lady
is in bed, suffering from conclusion
of the brain, and a severe bruising
1t appears that Miss Pratt has
been in the habit of driving to and
from her school work at Keahua.
The horse she has been driving is a
quiet old animal and not given to
shying.
However, on Thursday last, as
Miss Pratt approached one of the
gates that are on the road, the horse
became scared at pile of wood
chips, and suddenly swerved into
a small ditch. Miss Pratt was
thrown out and, lighting on her
head, was at once rendered
unconscious. Miss Pratt remem-
bers nothing else till she came to
her senses in her own home.
1t was Mr.. Hooking, OF Paia, who
discovered Miss Pratt lying by the
way side. Hooking is an overseer
of the Maui Agricultural Company,
and he was making his usual rounds,
when he found the unconscious
girl.
Hooking at once started off for
assistance, and he had not gone far
when he met G. E. Copeland, who
had just came away from the Kea-
hua school.
Copeland had visited the school
and had found that Miss Pratt had
not yet arrived. He thought someth-
ingmust be wrong, and at once start
ed out in his automobile to search
for Miss Pratt.
Copeland and Hooking returned
to where Miss Pratt was, and the
girl was placed in the car and taken
home. A doctor was summoned
and is still III attendance on the
patient, who is recovering rapidly
from her injuries.
The horse that caused the trouble
did not run away after accident.
The animal wandered into cane
field and was found there later on.

Notes From
Capital City.
Governor frear Looks Like Winning
All About Wheeler-0ur Own
Duke.
Especial Core spondence.
Honolulu, October 4.

The Fisher hearings seem to be
drawing to close and without, as
far as the public is aware, much be-
ing accomplished. To the layman
it would appear that Kuhio has
made no visible impression on the
secretary. Up to this writing not a
single charge made by him against
Governor Frear has been substanti-
ated, and whether it is your wish
or not the fact remains Frear has
the hest chance ever to be reappoint-
ed governor of the Territory. He
seems to have met the enemy and
throttled him. Even Ashford, when
the specific charges were being heard
on Monday, in response to a ques-
ton from Secretary Fisher, admitted
that the charges against the Govern
or were, perhaps too broad. That
is the history of the case and, it
would seem about time for the de-
tense to rest.
On Tuesday there were several
little spurts of eloquence that set
the audience to guessing. An in
quiry into the thousand acre evasion
brought out question by the secre-
tary as to who was responsible for
the bill introduced in the local legis-
lature relative to corporations form
ing co-partnerships, which struck
the secretary as novel. Breckons'
name was mentioned in a manner
that seemed to suggest that more
would come out of it after the affair
is over. l.. A. Thurston was men,
toned as man who might throw
light on the subject.
FISHERS JOKE.
At q luncheon in the Commercial
Club at noon the secretary told
story about the darkey who left the
Episcaloepean' church to go over
to the ranks of the Mef'dist because
there was too much reading of the
minutes of previous meeting in the
former church, while it was all new
business with the latter. He said
