sTEADFAsT CONFIDENCE
rhs Following Statement Should Form Conclusive Proof of Merit to Every Alas
 kan Reader.

Could stronger proof of the merit of any product be desiTSS than the statements of grateful endorsers who say their confidence has been undiminished by lapse of time. These are the kind of statements that are appearing in your local papers for Doau's Kidney Pills. They are twice-told and confirmed with new enthusiasm. Can any reader doubt the following?
 H. S. Baldwin, retired grocer, i88 Boundary Ave, Portland, Ore gon, says: q was suffering greatly from my back and kidneys when DoaA's Kidney Pills were brought to my attention. After I had used a few boxes, the pains in my back left and my kidneys again became regular. I am now in good health, thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills"
 No Trouble Since.
 When MT. Baldwin was inter- viewed on January "A, 1913, he said: You may continue to publish my former enlargement of Doan's Kidney Pills. I confirm all have said about them, as I have had lit- tie or no kidney trouble since"

"If you don't do anything to help
yourselves here, l don't want you to
put a lei aro1nd my neck and send
me to Washington"
Such was the concluding remark of
former Governor Carter in an address
delivered at the CommSfcial Club at
lunchtime today. His address was
made on behalf of the Sugar Protec-
ton Committee, of which he is chair
man and publicity chief. In the main
it was an amplification of his address
at the conference in the rooms of the
Chamber of Commerce and his inter-
view in yesterdays Star-Bulletin.

address the live wires of tits club on

subject that interests not only every
one of you, but every man. woman and
child in these islands"
Many people had accosted him on
the street with the salutation: so
you are going to Washington. Fine!"
His reply had been to ask what the
particular individual addressing him
was doing toward helping the fight
against free sugar Some had said
they did not know what they could
do, or how they could do anything,
and one sugar man had said he did
not think it would be appropriate for

Dropping like a bomb in the camp

of fire protection owing to the dearth
in the supply of water During the

pumps and boilers had to be strained
to their utmost capacity in a continu-

conflagration taken place at the same

Going on to point out the utter mad
equacy of the present water system,
the report further states: THE pres
ent equipment is not sufficient to in
sure an adequate supply in time of
tiraught as we experienced last sum-
mer and as we may reasonably expect
again. Too much emphasis cannot be
laid upon the fact that We have no re-
serye to rely upon In case of serious
accident TO the pumps, and no means
at hand to do the absolutely neces-
sary overhauling of the pumps. =
The head of the artesian water supply
is slowly and steadily sinking. This
supply OF pure and wholesome water
is one of the most valuable assets of
the island and should be conserved
for future generations. A great deal
is wasted from priFate. wells which are
not controlled and also from the wells
of the Honolulu Rauid Transit Com
pany and the Hawaiian Electric Com
pany. w.. H.. .... .t*... ss=.>.@
CAS- shown by the reports, the duty
imposed upon the machinery has been
exceedingly heavy during the last
period, not only on account of the
very dry season, but more on account
of the continuous growth of the city.
The necessity of restricting irrigation
to four hours, daily, the necessity of
prohibiting irrigation entirely in the
Nuuanu system during several
months, and numerous complaints
from privileges at higher levels about
shortage of water. are some of the
many proofs that the present installa-

the ever growing demand for water"

Democratic Senator Would
Dust Politics from Police and
Fire Departments |

Moving TO oust politics from its hold
on the police and fire departments,
and TO establish civil service in its
stead, Senator WirtZ introduced a
measure in the senate this morning
which may mean the. death knell OF
politics in the two departments.
With such a bill on the statute
books, the plum tree of the two de-
partments will be fruitless, says the
author of the bill, and merit rather
than influence will determine the pro-
motion of the men. Under the provi-
sions of the measure a physical and
mental examination is required to be
satisfactorily passed by an applicant
before being employed, and his dis
charge cannot be effected without
cause.

chiefly to prevent itinerant liquor

report also goes into the scope of the

point, for the purpose of showing that
even If tbs act is declared unconstitu-
tional, it should still be held valid as
far as territories are concerned in its
