MORE MEN THAN WOMEN
HAVE APPENDICITIS

Surgeons state men are slightly
more subject to appendicitis than
women. Honolulu people should
know that few doses of simple buck
thorn bark, glycerine, etc, as mixed
in Adler-i-ka, often relieve or prevent
appendicitis. This mixture removes
such surprising foul matter that ONE
SPOONFUL relieves almost ANY
CASE constipation, sour stomach or
gas. The INSTANT, easy action of

Amendment Carries.

There will he no action on the ques-
ton OF dividend on Lanston Mono
type stock for at least three weeks.
Directors OF the company met yester-
day In New York. but took a recess
for three weeks without giving consid-
Grafton to the subject of a dividend.
Much OF the Lanston stock Is held in
this city. and the action of the direc-
tors has been looked forward to with
much interest. Those who are close
to the company regard the recess as an
indication that dividend will be de-
clared and made payable late in April.
II has been generally believed that
the direcors would not make any dec
laration until they could restore the
stock to the per cent dividend basis
that existed when dividend payments
were suspended shortly after the out
break of the European war.

stltution OF the Washington Stock

BAN ON COFFEE HITS RESIDENTS
 OF VIENNA HARD
FavOrite Beverage Is Scarce Government Takes InVen-
 tory of Its Supply.

Vienna. July 21.-The long-dreaded restriction in the use of coffee-which is to Vienna what beer is to Munich has come at last, bringing with it cof- fee cards entitling each person over four years of age to half a pound of coffee a week and confiscation of all the coffee now on hand to prevent hoarding.
 The government order announcing the step contained one saving clause however. It exempts from restriction the supplies needed by restaurants and coffee houses, which means that Vienna will still be able to pursue its favorite pastime of slipping coffee "black" or brown" on the sidewalk in front of the innumerable resorts that line every boulevard and street.
 Each coffee store, wholesale and re. tail, has been required to notify the authorities of its exact supply of cof. fee over 100 kilograms (220 fbs.). The excess in each case is then subject tc the control of Coffee Central which in future will regulate the dis posal of the product to the public, ant have charge of all coffee that in flu ture comes into the country.
 The coffee cards will be issued by districts and card in one distric cannot be used in another They ar. non-transferable, so that the rare per son who does not use coffee canno pass his or her card on to friend.
