Tower,

A strange monument of modern bar.
barism still survives at Nish, in south.
east Servia. During the War of In.
dependence in 1909, a Servian gar
rison there exploded a powder maya
zine and persisted therein rather than
fall into the hands of the Turks. A
battle had previously taken place, and
the Turks commemorated their victory
by erecting a rude tower, ornamented
with the heads of their enemies. Old
people will tell you that there were
once 1900 heads, but as the tower
was never more than 25 feet high,
this is probably an exaggeration.
Lamartine and other travellers give
descriptions of the tower. Visitors
we're in the habit of carrying of
skulls as souvenirs, but when Nish
became Servian the remainder were
taken away for decent burial, all save
h few that were too deeply embedded.

cent box will truly amaze you.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation The condi-
ton is perfectly natural. 1t is just
as natural as it is for old people TO
walk slowly. For age is never so
active as youth. The muscles are less
elastic. And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets
Ore might as well refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to. weak bowels The
bowels must be kept active. This is
important at all ages, but never so
much as at fifty.
Age is not time for harsh physics
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But a lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
of the old need is gentle and natur-
al tonic. One that can be constantly
used without harm. The only such
tonic is Cascarets and they cost only
10 cents per box at any drug store

KILOHANA CLUBWOMEN DISCUSS
I ACLOSER ALLIANCE OF WORK

Two years ago the Kilohana. Art
League, il was then, began the agi-
tation of a federation of clubs with
the idea of securing club house.
The matter was not pushed then, as
the time was not ripe. The subject
has been discussed off and on, the
idea gradually growing, that Homo
lulu would soon have to have club
house for women's work, or for fed
Grated clubs. Now the matter has
come up again in quite new way.
So much enthusiasm has been met
with in all parts of the city that
some OF us feel the time has come TO
do something This meeting has been
worked up by Mrs. F. E. Steere with
whom the idea started.
AS a representative of the Kilo
hama Club under whose auspices this
meeting has been called appoint
Mrs. Steere as chairman of this meet
ing"
illustrates Plans for Work
Mrs. Steere told of her own inter
est in the big Sister" movement
and then with a map of circles in
Guiding the different districts, she IL
Illustrated her plans for such a move
mont in this city.
One of her good arguments was
that there are a great many clubs
here whose work is to lend a helping
hand where needed, and that IL all
of the clubs were brought closer to-
gether and their work catalogued and
filed away there would be no over
tapping of the efforts. She suggested
that there be central committee to
whom cases should be referred and
that this committee be composed of
five Of the wisest heads here. 1t was
her suggestion that the central COM
mittee be composed of both men and
women. The business of this central
committee would be to work out and
suggest plans for the handling OF such
cases as the circle chairmen should
find troublesome. There should also
b ereports from the various districts
at regular intervals.
Scheme Meets Favor
From nearly every section Of the
room there were words of approval
for Mrs. Steere's scheme and sew
eral ladies representing some Of the
foremost charitable organizations
said that in their opinion each of the
organizations would be better off il
there was closer federation of the
clubs and IL there was head here
where they might turn when help was
needed.
Mrs. SteeTe said that there were a
great many women in Honolulu who
were willing and anxious to help in
the social work here but did not
know how to do it. If4here is close

wishing To help may be shown a
way and given a case TO look after.
There are already a great many
women here who have under theiI

ing but there are still a great many
of these little ones whose home con.

would gladly receive help from some

Plans for Participation in big
Sister Movement Are
Brought Up

Ing spite of the many things that
are occupying the time and attention
of the Honolulu women at present,
the special meeting OF the Kilohana
Club yesterday afternoon was well at
tended by representative. women.
Miss Frances Lawrence opened the
meeting with few words as TO the
reason for calling the meeting. She
said in part:
This meeting has been celled to
discuss how closer federation OF
social work now being done in Ho-
nolulu can be best effected. One of
the watchwords OF the present day is
"get together. We see ii being talk
ed OF in every phase OF social activi-
ty. That a strong need is felt for
closer union between the various eff
forts for public welfare here is shown
by the hearty response 10 call for
this meeting.
While there is a great deal of work
being done all over the city-just how
much is always amazing to one not
In, touch with it--it is mostly done
by a small set of people. That there
are women in Honolulu who wish to
work but do not know what to do
or how to do 1t, can scarcely be re.
allied by the busy few. Yet there
are many such as the investigation of
the last week testifges, and only a
small part OF the ground has been
covered Now to form some sort Of
q board or organization where these
women may be put in touch with the
over burdened ones and help share
the burden, Is, believe the principle
object OF this meeting Just how to
accomplish this in the best way is
matter for discussion. Organization
is necessary, but the multiplying OF
organizations where there are so
many already. will only add to con.
msIon and not bring about the de.
sired result 1t has been suggested
that the Kilohana Club with its
change of name and broadening OF
the constitution, being non-sectarian
and already having a club room. could
mother such movement, or per-
haps gradually resolve itself into such
a board. Whether this would bring
about the desired effect or not is a
question. IL 1t is agreed that the XII.
lihana Club can best launch this
movement, we are prepared to take
charge OF it. II other arrangements
seem best, we will give II our sup
port This is not a personal matter,
but question Of how the work at
hand can be best accomplished.
