LIGHTNING IN TIE TROPICS

Thunderstorms never occur In the
Arctic regions. Nearer the equator
the more severe the electric NANTES
tatiOns. In certain parts OF Central
Africa the average run Of thunder
storms is $50 days year. yet there
arc some very curious exceptions. In
Sumatra and Java. both very hot eli
mates, there are only 80 storms year
ly, and in Borneo only about 80. The
gold coast of Africa has only about
90 year. which Is less than occur
in Florida, though the latter country
is outside the tropics.
In Java there is thunderstorm cv-
cry day for five months. Perhaps the
most astonishing fact in regard TO
thunderstorms is that the island Of
Mauritius, which is only $50 miles
cast Of Madagascar has on an aver
age only enc thunderstorm In so
years.
Yet in Madagascar the lightning Ia

MAIN CITY OF CEYLON

Colombo, Ceylon.-Apart from its
importance as the chief city of Cey-

many of them loaded with tea-chests

that lay across their necks were
heavily fashioned. A thatch Of palm
leaves protected the goods from rain

The testimony OF witnesses was
unanimous that Dillon was on the

cident occurred.
According to the evidence present

fore they took him TO the hospital,
was not sustained by witnesses, who
stated that de Bretteville was placed

NERVOUS PEOPLE
MADE CHEERFUL
Worn-out, irritable, Despondent
Men and Women Should Try
This Treatment.

1t is impossible 10 have thin, impure
blood and strong, healthy nerves and
muscles. Instead, every part OF the
body becomes weak. The stomach fails
in strength and the appetite becomes
poor The body does not obtain
enough nourishment from the food and
is actually starved. Soon the nerves
begin to complain and the person be-
comes irritable, respondent, wornout
and nervous. For time there may be
no sickness, only general rundown,
weak state, but there is no real defence
against disease, and from such condl-
ton spring numerous disorders, as
rheumatism, severe nervous diseases,
stomach trouble, anauia and chronic
headaches.

CAUSE FOR ALARM
Loss of Appetite or Distress After
Eating symptom That Should
Not Be Disregarded.

Appetite is just a natural desire for
food. Loss of appetite or stomach
distress after eating indicate indiges-
ton or dyspepsia. 0ver-eating is a
habit very dangerous to person s
good general health.
1t is not what you eat but what you
digest and assimilate that does you
good Some of the strongest, heaviest.
and healthiest persons are moderate
eaters.
There is nothing that will cause
more trouble, than a disordered stom-
ach, and many people daily contract
serious maladies simply through dis
regard or abuse of the stomach.
We urge all in Honolulu who suf-
fer from any stomach arrangement,
indigestion, or dyspepsia, whether
acute or chronic, to try Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets, with the distinct un-
derstanding that we will refund their
money without question or formality,
if after reasonable use of this medi-
cine they are not perfectly satisfied
with the results. We recommend
them to our customers every day, and
have yet to hear of any one who has
not been benefited by them. We hon
estly believe them to be without
equal. They give very prompt relief,
aiding to neutrafize the gastric juices.
strengthen the digestive organs, to
regulate the bowels, and thus to pro-
mote perfect nutrition, and eradicate
all unhealthy symptoms.
We urge you to try 25c. box of
n IT.
10 days treatment At the end of that
time your money will be. returned to
you if you are not satisfied Of
course, in chronic cases length of
treatment varies. For such cases, we
have two larger sizes, which sell for
