THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood is try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or I'M
derstands how to properly care for her.
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism unified for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
inyigorator of the female organism.

4 CAR ACCIDENT

S i. Hannest I'd. the Lihue at
torncy, met with an unusual acci-
dent Sunday afternoon. Luckily
no one was hurt but the car Is
laid 10 for extensive repairs.
Mr.. Hannestad and party of
young friends were returning from
the tennis games at Kilauea. Ii
waa nearing nightfall and the ma
chine was being driven at a pretty
lively clip in order to reach Lihue
before dark. AT a point near Wal
lua a tire blew out, the machine
skiddcd and ran head first into a
stoHc wall at the roadside.
A front wheel was smashed and
the machine was otherwise dam
aged. The members of The party
were picked up by other passing
antOs, and the broken machine was
towed in" by a truck Yesterday
morning.
1t is considered fortunate that
the stone wall was there, for it
probably saved the auto from going
over a more dangerous enbank
ment.

BASEBALL PLAYER
KILLS ANOTHER

Francisco Buenahor, a Filipino
belonging o Chas. Axis camp
near Laval, was hit over the head
with baseball bat in the hands of
one Isabelle de la Cruz at Home
stead at about noon Sunday and
died in the Koloa hospital at II
O. clock that night
De la Cruz is under arrest and

The Filipino team from t h e
camp had gone over to play game
of baseball with the Portuguese
team of Kalaheo. During the game
the victim of the accident, who
was playing first base, made wild
throw to third as a result of which
all of the runners scored. Antonio
Pangelina the catcher, gave Buen-
aAor a severe calling down for his
wild throw. and there was a hot
argument De la Cruz at that june
ture stepped up from behind, be-
ing ready to go to bat, and entered
the argument Buenaflor said to
BIN; You are another one always
accusing me; l can lick either one
of'vou."
Stories as to just what happened
next vary, bit Buenahor evidently
moved toward de la Cruz and a
second latter received a hard crack
over the head with a bat, which
laid him out.
De la Cruz claimed t h at he
struck the man, not to hurt him
but TO stop him, as he was evident

TENNIS GAMES At
K|LAUEA SUNDAY

A most delightful afternoon was
spent bv all who attended the ten
mis- tournament at kilauea last Sun
day. In most pleasant contrast to
the previous attempt to play off
the games i'll Lihue, the weather
proved quite ideal, brig Int sunshine
prevailing throughout the after
noon.
The first game played was the
men s doubles; Conrad Ahrens and
H. Had field playing for Kilauea.
Their opponents were Robt. Purvis
and Albert Horner, Jr., for Lihue.
The latter won rather easv
victory, the score being 90. 6 2.
The second game, which was
begun shortly after four o clock,
was between Mrs. Scott and Mr..
Buchholtz, fer Kilauea, and Mis-,
Purvis and Mr.. Hannestad, for
Lihue. This proved to be a very
close and hard fought contest,
manv exceptionally fine plays by
both sides creating much applause
from the well-flled side lines. The
first set went to Lihue 4; while
the home team annexed the honorS
of the secold and third sets, the
score being 6 4, E T. A. Horner,
Sr,, umpired the meme doubles
and DR.. Putnam ofliCiated for the
mixed doubles.
Mr.. and Mrs. Myers entertained
in their usual delightful manner;
the large number of L.ihue guests
who motored over to witness the
tournaments being shown Il e
m any beautiful scenic points
around their exceedingly pretty
home, and were then entertained
at tea, which was served with ap-
petizing delicacies un d er the
spreading vines which paralelled
the courts.
So pleasantly did the time slip
by, that it was well toward $50
before the party broke up.
