verses are as follows:
/.
On the way to Honolulu
As the vessel nears the land,
Every shippers on the lookout
And his glass is in his hand.
And he searches all the city,
AS the steamer nears the goal.
For the loved and longed-for vision
OF the old Punchbowl
oh. the old Punchbowl,
Oh, the brown Punchbowl,
Fin full the shippers glass up
With the nectar of the soul.
AS he holds il out a.searching,
For the old Punehbowl.
IL
Tis the boast of Honolulu;
AS you stroll about the place,
That their Punchbowl is the biggest
Of all the human race.
That It holds million gallons
And then a million more,
Filled full up for the navy
And the big army on the shore.
oh, the big Punchbowl.
Oh, the brown Punchbowl
FIJI up the army canteen
Call up the navy roll
As the soldier and the sailor toast
The big Punehbowl.
III.
All the tribes of Honolulu
Gathered from the Seven Seas,
Have their optics on the Punchbowl.
lard the contents. IL you please.
And they say il is most ancient,
And in age II is so old.
That no native of the island
It's longevity has told
oh, the old PunchbowI.
Oh, the brown Punchbowl.
All the tribes upon the island.
All the people on their roll.
Are a-watching for the fitting
Vi the old Punchbowl.
~.
The tourists all are looking
For the craters, dark and deep,
AS they scamper DER the islands
Like a flock of silly sheep; 1
And eagerly they're asking
In their innocence of soul. -
rs there really any 'Crayther'
In the old Punchbowl?"
Oh, the old Punehbowl,
Oh. the brown Punchbowl.
The skipper and the tourists
And the tribesmen as a whole,
With the army and the navy,
Love the old Punchbowl
V.
And now | tell you, hearties.
Why the world is on the way
To find the old brown Punchbowl
On Honolulu bay.
They long to taste its contents
Good for body and for soul
The worlds most pleasing nectar.
In the old Punchbowl
Oh. the old Punchbowl,
Oh, the brown Punchbowl,
This Climate and Contentment,s
That make the charming goal
And these in glorious measure
Fill the old Punchbowl.

during a performance when the sight of
the wife's lover in the audience enraged
him to the point of murder.

Over in a far corner OF the election

QUIT meat WHEN
BACK HURTS OR
KIDNEYS Bother
Says Uric Acid in meat clogs
Kidneys and irritates
Bladder.
A glass of Salts is harmless way
to flush Kidneys, says
authority.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says noted
authority who tells us that meat
forms uric acid which almost para
lyzes the kidneys in their efforts to
expel it from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken. then you
suffer with dull misery in the kid
pey region, sharp pains in the back
or sick headache dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full of sediment, the channels
often get sore and irritated, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To ncutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for
few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, ana
has been used for generations TO
flush and stimulate the sluggish kid
neys, also to neutralize the ac,ds i'll
urine, SO il no longer irritates, thus
ending Bladder weakness

vrscent iithia water drink ADV.

California OH Victim
Asks Aid Of Congress
Attemr.s at Conservation Bring About Situation De-
manding Speedy Relief If Irreparable Dam
age Is to Be Averted
By JupsoN c. wELLIvER.

The oil industry OF California is In a
critical condition. appealing to Con-
gross for relief It's crisis has been
brought about by a bad bungllng OF
executive orders. legislative efforts and
judicial determinations, presumably
aimed to conserve oil supplies, and now
threatening to destroy them.
In all the history of the public do
mains dissipation, there could hardly
be found an instance Of more unfortu-
nate results from bad administration.
Attempts at conservation, unintelli-
gently directed, have precipitated this
situation from which relief is acutely
needed. The business interests of Cal
fornia are making n strong effort TO
got Congress aud the National Admin
istration to understand the precise facts.
feeling confident that, once fully APP
preciated, the situation will promptly
be remedied. Unless this Is accomplish
ed at the >present session, irreparable
damage will b0 sustained, not only by
the oil industry. but by Pacific coast
business In general.
Dates To Hysteria Era.
This whole muddle dates back to That
period of hysteria about conservation,
when enthusiasm outran understanding
of the subject. There was time when
anybody attempting to make the public
lands useful was presumed to bs a
CRATER, and when II was assumed that
the way to get the most out of natural
resources was to lock them up and not
let anybody use them. There has been
a Veerlng of sentiment toward a more
reasonable understanding In recent
years; but some of the unfortunate
products OF the hysteria era are still OBJ
scrvable, and the California oil calamity
is one of these.
The California trouble relates back 10
the fact that originally there were no
proper laws governing the acquisition
and development of oil lands within the
public domain. The old placer law, for
mineral development, permitted u p-os-
pector to enter upon the land. search
for the mineral or metal he wanted,
and. II he found IT, file his claim. The
placer law made II necessary. to discover
the mineral before locating the claim.
When the desert areas of public lands
were found to contain oil. this placer
law was stretched TO cover them.
though 1t was not strictly applicable. 1t
is utterly impossible for an oil pros
pector to find his oil first and risk his
location afterward. 1t costs too much
money to prospect for oil.
Operation Is Risky.
The man who establishes a drilling
plant in the desert. and. perhaps, packs
machinery and supplies. even to water,
many miles over the desert, must be
assured. before he spends his money
boring. that IL he finds oil he is going
to own 1t. Under the placer law, strict
ly construed. he could not be assured
OF this. But the common sense oil the
thing was so obvious that the placer
law was stretched enough to permit
locating oil lands first and drilling
them afterward: without this construc-
ton, II would have been impossible for
capital to be interested In the gamble.
1t has not infreauently cost as much
