Booze and Business Incompatible y

This is a bold statement. Can we

no longer an easy-going affair. The
"one-hoss shay" has gone forever. Our
grandfathers and grandmothers were
content to amble over roads lazily
leisurely, but we today demand rapid
transit.

Breuities From, The
Anti-Saloon League

Dr. d. n. Gambler, state superin-
tendent Of the Anti-Salodn league OF
California, paid visit to Honolulu
last Monday. He was a through pas
senger in the Siberia, returning from
trip to the Orient The doctor led
the temperance forces through the big
campaign for statewide prohibition in
California last November, and while
he fought a losing battle, neVerthe-
less he feels that the day is not far
distant when the liquor traffic will be
ousted from California as it was from
four other states two months ago. -
The league plans to have the annual
conference February 26 to Is in the
Kawaiahao church with Dr. Baker.
the national superintendent, present.
All churches and missions throughout
the territory have been requested to
elect delegates to this convention in
order to complete plans for an effec-
tive territorial organization and out
line the policies which are to guide
the league in future operations -
The executive committee held a
meeting last Thursday in the Cham
Der of Commerce rooms Reports
from the superintendent and other Of
ficers were received and plans made
for the work to be done before the
annual convention. Dr. Wadman ex-
poets to leave Wednesday for a tour
OF Maui, including visit to the pub
lie schools in the interests of the edu-
cational campaign. ...-=
The league Is pleased with the VIC
tory gained through the failure OF the
Pleasanton hotel to secure liquor
license" says DR.. Wadman 1.-THE press
rendered splendid assistance in the
campaign and so did the intelligent
public OF Honolulu, and for such cor
dial cooperation the league is deeply
grateful. The w. C. T. u, led by Mrs.
j. NJ. Whitney, should also be men
toned in this connection" ="
DIR. Wadman says that he is in cor
respondence with Richard P. Hobsorl,
the prohibition leader in the house of
representatives, with the hope of Sc.
curing visit from the Hero of the
Merrimac' at the close of the present
session of Congress. DR.. Gambler
thinks that Capt. Hobson, being
great traveller, would be glad to pay
Hawaii visit in the interests OF ma.
tfonal prohibition. L. - u -.
The league, congratulates the prohi-
billion advocates of Oahu college who
won such signal victory over their
opponents in recent oratorical con.
test held among the students. For
some time the discussion conferred
around the point of personal liberty"
as involved in the anti-liquor move
ment. but Bernard Damon, the leader
on the prohibition side, succeeded in
bringing some powerful arguments to
bear against the advocates in opposi-
ton and carried the day. It Is sig
nificant fact that all over the United
states college and university students
are not only lining up on the side of
prohibition but organizing aggressive
campaigns among the student body as
well as among other classes. Their
slogan is @Fhe Conservation of the
Youth of America"

In addition to these appropriations
which are met by the Sunday collec-
ticns there is special birthday box
fund generally amounting to 500
which is sent to Aintab, Turkey.
One of the interesting points raised
was the question of extending the
time of the Sunday school period,
which now is from $3.50 to 1885 a. m.
Some of the teachers wished a longer
teaching period than the time now
available. Others wished to have the
time extended to allow the classes
time for study as we'll as for recita-
ticn. Some preferred a short recita-
tton period, stating that better results
were gained from concentrated atten-
tion during 20 minutes than from a
longer session. No final decision was
reached, but it was suggested that
individual teachers desiring long class
sessions might arrange to meet their
classes at $50 O'Clock for a Commute
session. then attend the opening ex-
ercises and then resume their studies

her husband in his usual set and de
termined way, IT'S the call Of ambi-
ton, womanl I've been humble and
lowly too long It's the chance Of my
life, and I'm going to take it."
Aren't we we'll enough off, Dennis,
dear?' objected Mrs. Foley. You've
got a steady job It's in a line you
understand. Better to be foreman Of
the ward sewer and paving gang than
some h~ifalutin position you may not

Dennis was a good husband and a
kind father.
Their daughter Nora was earning

was engaged to an estimable young
man, a budding architect and en-

their own social sphere, humble a. it
was, because they were respectable.
Once, in the far past, Dennis had

Dennis was bent on breaking into poll

downfall Of Mr.. Herndon, whose son,
Sidney, was engaged to Nora. Politics
had ruined the elder Herndon and he
had died Of broken fortunes and a
broken heart.
Dennis went his own way. For two

TESTAMENT STOPS BULLET
British Soldier Saved by Bible
That Was Pierced Through to
Corinthians.

Charles NJ. Alexander, singing evan
gelist and partner Of Rev. DIR. ]. VIII
bur Chapman, who passed through this
city yesterday on his way to North
field, said thousands OF British sol
diers we're carrying pocket Bibles as
they went to the front. The evangelist
believed that the Pocket Testament
league, which distributed the Scrip
lures, would evangelize the British
army, both at the front and at home"
The league was organized in Philadel-
phia In the course Of the Chapman
campaign.
Bodies as well as souls are being
saved by the pocket Testaments, IN
proof Of which Mr.. Alexander shows
a New Testament pierced by a Ger
man bullet. This book was hit while
reposing in the pocket of a British sol
der In a trench in Flanders. The
steel pellet plowed through 400 pages,
stopping at First Corinthians. This
Testament saved its owners life.
Since the wal began Mr.. Alexander
has devoted considerable attention to
distributing Testaments among Kitch-
ener's soldiers. The plan is to have
every recipient sign a pledge card sig
nifying his willingness to carry the
Testament always and read a chapter
each day. Mr.. Alexander spent two
months in the training camps on Sal
isbury plain, in which time 9,70S sol

PolsOns and pisinfsotants.

The poisons and d~isagreeable odors
are always associated In our minds
with the d%isinfectants, We know
germs are routed and destroyed by
the liberal use Of nl-smelllng drugs.
Fragrance and sweetness, too, play an
active part in dlsposing Of unwelcome
germs. The odor OF cloves has been
known to destroy microbes In 80 min
utes; cinnamon kills some species IN
~ minutes, and thyme in IS minutes.
The common wild yerbena is found to
be an effective destroyer Of microbes

Instead Of P~urgatives.

People take too many harsh
purgative pills and tablets they
get temporary relief to be sure,
but only temporary. It gets to
be a daily habit and that's bad.
Lately we have been selling a
great deal of a new liquid laxa-
tive and bowel tonic. The good
feature about this article is that
it gradually overcomes chronic
constipation and makes the use
of any purgative unnecessary.
The name is
