Mother! Your child isn't naturally
cross and peeVish. See If tongue is
coated; this is a sure sign its little
stomach, liver and bowels need a
cleansing at once.
When listless, pale, feverish, full OF
cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn't
eat, sleep or act naturally, has stem-
ach-ache, diarrhoea, remember, a gen.
tie liver and bowel cleansing should
always be the first treatment given.
Nothing equals California Syrup Of
Figs for children's ills; give a tea
spoonful, and in a few hours all tho
foul waste, sour bile and fermenting
food which is clogged in the bowels
passes out of the system, and you have
a well and playful child again. All
children love this harmless, delicious
fruit laxative" and it never fails to
effect good INSIDE" cleansing. Di-
rections for babies, children of all
ages and grown-ups are plainly on
the bottle. -
Keep it handy in your home. A lit.
tie given today saves a sick child to-
morrow, but get the genuine. Ask
your druggist for a 50-cent bottle Of

well began will be carried on by Capt.

G. 0. P. OF MAUI
MAY JOIN WITH
OTHER ISLANDS
Possibility of a Combination
Against Delegates Slate
Framed BY Oahu Leaders

Especial Star Bulletin Correspondence
WAILUKU, Maui, March S0.--A
general apathy marks political affairs
in Maui. as far as the Republicans
are concerned. The coming conyen,
ton in Honolulu has failed to arouse
more than faint interest, and while
delegates were elected in most OF the
precincts last Saturday. there was no
semblance of rivalry for the positions,
Maui will try 10 have a represents
tive to the national convention and
viii doubtless work TO that end in the
convention in Honolulu next Monday.
The idea that Oahu has already
framed the slate for the big show is
not particularly pleasing here and IL
is more than likely that the Maui dele
gates will join forces with Hawaii
and Kauai if necessary TO defeat such
program.
Democrats Split.
Things are not so harmonious IN
the ranks of the Maui Democrats, and
when the party election is held on
April 10 it is certain that the McCand-
less and Pinkham factions on this
island will be sharply divided. The
fight at the party polls for delegate
and alternate to the Democratic ma
tional convention, to be held in ST.
Louis on June Ia, will be between
Morris Keohokale for delegates with
Eugene Murphy as alternate, repre-.
senting the McCandiess wing, and DIR.
j. H. Raymond, with T. B. Lyons,
representing the Pinkham faction. At
the present time the strength of this
island seems to be with the Pinkham-
ties, most of the prominent party
workers seemingly being lined up on
that side. ). =.
Delegates Leave.
Most of the Republican delegates to
Mondays convention will leave by the
Mauna Kea. SoRe Of the Hama mem.
bers went down on Wednesday nights
Claudine. Those who go from the
Wail9ku precinct are Senator H. B.
Penhallow, Charles Wilcox, P. J. Good
ness and Moses Kauhimahu.
Supervisor R. A. Drummond of
Hama was in Wailuku on his way TO
Honolulu, where he goes as onesef the
delegates from the Hama district to
the territorial convention Drum
mond, who was reported seriously i'll
few weeks ago, appears to have
completely recovered. He says his i'll
ness was due to stomach trouble and
that it was nothing serious. The
Hama supervisors expressed himself
as confident that DR.. Raymond will
get the appointment to Pali's seat on
the board.
