LAXATIVE FOR OLD
PEOPLE-"CASCARETS"
Salts, CalOmel and Pills act on Liver
and Bowels like Pepper acts in

Get a 10-cent box now.
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.
One 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 a time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
of the old need is a 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.
They work while you sleep.-adver-
t!sement.

many OF US, seems to need remedy
ing. Would it be right and proper for
our Board OF Directors to use its in
flue1ce in bringing about a change in
the hour for receiving patients at the
Govt Dispensary? The one hour, at
present. when the doctor will receive
and examine patients is from eight to
nine in the morning. and many find II
most difficult TO get there at that time
then. as occasionally happens, if a
steamer is claiming the doctors at
tention. the time is much curtailed.
This is not spoke in fault
finding spirit. but the poor have
20 many hardships, it seems as
if they are entitled to some
consideration when sickness is ad-
ded to their many other burdens.
There is very little opportunity for
constructive work, or follow up" work
here. as the families coming for re-
lief are almost entirely plantation la
borers. They come from all over the
islandc. Some member of the family
| is sinCk. and they all come to Homo
lulu to be taken care OF until the sick
one has recovered; or it is too rainy
at one plantation, and they want to
make a change All sorts of excuses
are given-very often, if there are q
number of children, they say they can
not earn enough to support them. OF
course in Honolulu they are worse off,
tut it is hard to convince them of this,
especially if we can be persuaded to
help with the rent, provide milk for
the babies, and give food and clothing
occasionally. We generally do this
for time. but there is already so
much unskilled labor here that the
opportunities for securing jobs are
few, and We urge them to return to a
plantation. Sometimes it is necessary
to withhold relief before they see the
force of our argument.
Increasing Calls for Help
There are increasing calls for help
in the way of nourishment for tuber-
culous patients, and the number of
deaths from this disease is startling.
One. month four out of seven appli-
Cants were victims of tuberculosis.
The Puaahou Preparatory. Kaahu
manu- and Kaiulani schools, as usual,
made a most generous Thanksgiving
donation. which helped 50 families to
have a real feast day. The Kaiulani
school. being in Palama, district con-
tanning many poor families, sent
large proportion of its gifts to Pala-
ma Settlement for distribution.
At Christmas, because of the Mali
hini tree, and the many entertain
ments at the different missions and
churches, nothing was done by the
Associated Charities excepting to pur.
chase a dozen comforters, which were
given where most needed.
We were asked recently if there
was any one season of the year when |
there was greater occasion for relief
work. There is no such time. 1t de- |
ponds very largely upon the demand
for labor; when work is plentiful the
calls upon us are eorrespondingly few,
and those who come can be directed
to work, but when work is slack, we
are busy.
There were 240 new applications
during the year, and average of 43
cases recurrent monthly. There were |
354 visits made, and 1868 calls at the
office.
The receipts, including the balance
from last year, we're $2827.20 and the
disbursements $2S0S.05, leaving a bal
ance of S1915.

WHO SUES FIRST?

The Times-Democrat Publishing
Company filed its answer to the
suit of John Schroeder, a for
mer carrier, who asked for an &C
counting from the defendant. The
plaintiff alleged that he had paid
$500 to his predecessor for the priv
ilege of delivering the Times-Demo-
crat in Algiers, but that notwith-
standing this fact the defendant has
deliberately taken away his route. He
averred that he was entitled to an
accounting for his business with the
company, but that 1t had failed to
render him one, and the Times-Dem-
ocrat answered that it had tried pa
tiently for a long time to make
Schroeder settle his Indebtedness to
it, but that he had failed to do so.
1t averred that it had rendered him
a number of accountings, showing
that he owed it $273.17, which he
failed to pay, and that he brought
his suit in an effort to forestall the
suit which he knew would be brought
against him. 1t therefore prayed
that there be judgment against him
for the amount mentioned above.

against his stepdaughter, Mrs. Bella

supplied in money and building ma
terials the equivalent of $1110, with
which the defendant purchased a lot
and built small house in the square
bounded by Vallette, Diana, Belle
vile and De Armas streets. 1t is

from his eyes and was unable to see,
and for that reason made his step
daughter, in whom he had confidence,
his agent for the purpose of purchas-
ing the property and erecting the
house."

the defendant violated his conf
dence and purchased the real estate
in her own name" informing Miller
that the property was in his name,
and had been purchased for him, and
that he learned only accidentally, a
few months ago." that the defendant
