contract entered into. The collec-
tions are taken at each meeting for
three weeks, and these are used to

evangelist got nothing from this. The
matter Of underwriting was simply to
insure any deficit. in case the collec-
lions failed to meet all these expenses.
Something like $500. was raised.
Two chairmen Of finance committees

HAWAII AT THE FAiR--LETTER
FROM PETE TO BILL

the exposition want To see the little
fishes. Some OF them are anxious 10
see Duke and some OF the other lads
who can do a few aquatic stunts. SO
they pile into the little theater and
watch the pictures as they flicker on
the screen.
The old maids from the New Eng.
land states and from Chicago just love
TO see these pictures III bet you will
see lot of them at Waikiki during
the next year. And I'll also bet that
John Effinger will sell each of them a
lot OF curios. And won't be surprised
il they kidnap the Duke and few OF
his pals.
want to say that Hawaii has been
placed on the map here at the expo
sition. People from the East who
knew nothing about the islands have
become curious and you hear them
talking of the beautiful singing they
hear at the Hawaiian building and in
the Palace of Horticulture.
No effort is apparently being made
to check the number of visitors who
come to our building. but | am certain
that We are holding pretty close to
the lead. OF course more people go to
the California building, but that Is to
be expected.
What is needed here is few more
stunts like that Hawaiian fete. pulled
off a few weeks ago. That is the sort
Of thing that interests people here.
OF course they will all turn out and
grab sandwich If you give 1t to
them, but that is not the stunt needed.
Let them see some of the boys in &C.
ton; give them bit OF the wonderful
local color of Hawaii; let them hear
our music and have things doing that
will make them wish to see more OF
Hawaii.
Hawaii is doing quite we'll, but not
well enough. Somebody ought to stir
EN- up bit and tell him to get things
moving. This is the grand opportu-
nifty to put the islands on the tourist
map for keeps, and no opportunity
should be overlooked. Get busy there
in Honolulu, Bill, and see that you
get results here at the exposition. II
you get the right kind of dope work
ing here it will mean more tourists
and more prosperity to Hawaii. |
guess that will be about all.

THIN FOLKS WHO
WOULD BE FAT
Increase In WEIGHT Ten Pounds or
More.
A PhYsician.s Advice.

I'D eertainly give most anything
to be able to fat up few pounds AID
stay that way declares every excess
siye.y thin man or woman. Such a
result is not impossible. despite past
failures. Thin people are victims OF
nIalnutritien, a condition which pre-
vents the fatty elements OF food from
being taken up by the blood rs they
ere when the powers OF nutrition are
normal. Instead Of getting into the
blood. all the Fat ard flesh producing
elements stay in the intestines until
they pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to
produce healthy normal, amount OF
fat the nutritive processes must be
artificially supplied with the power
hich nature has denied them. This
can best be accomplished by eating
SargoI tablet with every meal. Sar-
col is a scientific combination of six
of the best strengthening, fat-pro-
ducing elements known to the medical
profession. Taken with meals, II
mikes with the food and turns the
sugars and staFches into rich, ripe
neursshment for the tissues and blood
and its rapid effect is remarkable. Re-
ported gains OF from ten to twenty
five pounds in a single month are by
no means infrequent. Yet its action
is perfectly natural and absolutely
harmless.
cautioni-W While. Sargol has produe-
ed remarkable results in the treat
ment OF nervous Indigestion and gen.
eral stomach disorders. il should not.
ewing to its remarkable flesh produc-
ing effect, be used by those who are
not willing to increase their weight
ten pounds or more.

HOW YOU MAY THROW

The statement is made that thou
sands wear eyeglasses who do not
really need them. II you are one OF
these unfortunates. then these glasses
may be running your eyes instead OF
helping them. Thousands who wear
these windows" may prove for them
selves that they can dispense with
glasses If they will get the following
prescription filed at once. Go to any
active drug store and get bottle OF
DIPLOMA; I'LL two-ounce bottle with
warm water and drop in one DIPLOMA
tablet. With this harmless liquid solu
daily. and you are likely to be aston
ished at the results right from the
start. Many who have been told that
they have astigmatisrn, eye-strain,
cataract, sore evelids, weak eyes, con-
iunctiyitis and other eye disorders, re-
port wonderful benefits from the use OF
this prescription. Get this prescription
filled and use 1t; you may so strength
en- yo1s eyes that glasses will not be
necessary. Thousands who are blind,
or nearly so, or who wear glasses
would never have required them if
they had cared for their eyes in time.
Save your eyes before it is too late.
Do not become one of those victims OF
neglect. Eyeglasses are only like
crutches and every few years they
must be changed to fit the eyer-in
c-sasing weakened condition, so bet
ter see if you can, like many others,
get clear. healthy, strong magnetic
eyes through the prescription here
given. ADV.

countered the Lusitania had waited
for the passengers and crew to take

According to previous experience,
( 1t was reasonable to expect that, on
account of the size of the Lusitania,
she would float, after having been tor.
pedoed, long enough to permit of her
passengers escaping. The presence of
