OAHU COLLEGE. Dec. 12.-On Sun
day, Just as the big moon rose over
the campus of~punahou, was held a
beautiful carol singing. The girls
and boys glee clubs sang five very
beautifa! and very ancient Christmas
carols, all sung ont of doors on the
steps of Pauahi hall.
A large audience was seated on the
lawn IN front Of the building. and the
effects were very truly in keeping
with the carols. The white moon
light, reflected from the snow white
clouds ard from the branches of tall
trees as they swayed TO and fro in
the wind, the iimly lighted and cold
stone building outlined big against
the clear blue and starlit sky, the
near approach of the yuletide-all
called Cor distant strains of organ mu-
sic AMI carol singers
The program was begun and ended
by an organ secretion by Miss Mar
garet electra Clarke, the Pastorale
Symphony from HandeTs Messiah.
The music was excellent, for the sigh
ing of The wind was only an addition
to the yuletide effect, which would not
have been so well attained on a
warm, calm night.
The pastoral was followed by the
recitatives from the Messiah, annun-
Helen Grace Caldwell sang these in
a beautiful. free. soprano voice.
Five carols followed. The first was
old English, "The First NoeI' 1t was
sung ahtiphonally by two groups of
girls. The girls were dressed in long
white rubes aud each group carried
and played musical instruments. They
slowly walked around the Pauahi hall
and assembled The steps, singing their

by a carol in old French, lie Som
neil D'Enfant Jesu," sung by the girls
as they were seated ON the steps. The
third carol was old English, WHAT
Child Is This" II was very effec-
lively sung by the gIrls' club and the
boys club antipEonally, the boys be-
ing in the upper loggia, above the
girls.
Two carols, French and German,
followed. In "Gantique de Noel the
oldest IF French carols, always sung
throughout France at midnight OF
Christmas Eve, Miss Ethel Damon
beautifully sang the verses and she
was joined in chorus by the combined
glee clubs. In Ike manner Miss Mar
garet Austin sang "Stllle Nacht" with
the clubs. Miss Austin's voice was
very clear and delightful.
This carol singing was the first OF

The matter under discussion by the

SAYSBODY ISA
POISON Factory
Urges Everyone to Drink Glass
of Hot Water Before
Breakfast

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form OF
Sshes, so the food and drink taken
day after day leaves in the alimen-
tary canal certain amount of in
digestible material, which. If not
completely eliminated from the sys-
tenn each day, becomes food for the
millions Of bacteria which infest the
bowels. From this mass Of leftover
waste, toxins and ptomaine-like pois-
ons are formed and sucked into the
blood.
Men and women who cant get
feeling right must begin to take in
side baths. Before eating breakfast
each morning drink glass of real
hot water with teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate In it to wash out of
the thirty feet of bowels the previous
days accumulation of poisons and
toxins and to keep the entire ali
mentary canal clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick
headache, colds, biliousness, consti-
patton, others who wake up with bad
taste, foul breath, backache, rheu-
matte stiffness, or have sour, gassy
stomach after meals, are urged to
get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from the drug store, and
begin practising internal sanitation.
This will cost very little, but is suffi-
cient to make anyone an enthusiast
on the subject
Remember, inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing
poor health, while the bowel pores
do. Just as soap and hot water
cleanses, sweetens and freshens the
skin, so hot water and limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels.-AdY.

A FINE TREATMENT
FOR CATARRH

! Easy to Make and Costs Little.
/ Catarrh is such an insidious dis
ease and has become so prevalent
| during the past few years that its
treatment should be unders TODD by
all
! Science has fully proved that Ca
tarrh is a constitutional disease and
| therefore requires a constitutional
treatment. Sprays, inhalers, salves
and nose dCuches seldom If ever give
| lasting benefit and often drive the
disease further down the air passages
and into the lungs.
If you have Catarrh or Catarrhal
deafness or head-noises, go to your
druggist and get one ounce of Par
, mint Double Strength). Take this
home and add to it n pint of hot
water and 4 ounces of granulated
sugar; stir until dissolved, take one
tablespoonful times a day.
This will often bring quick relief
from the distressing head-noises.
clogged nostrils should open, breath
ing become easy and muClls stop
dropping into the throat.
This treatment has slight tonic
action which makes it especially eff
fective in cases where the blood
has become thin and weak. 1t is
easy to make, tastes pleasant and
costs little. Every person who wishes
to be free from this destructive dis
ease should give this treatment a
trial. Wilkinson & Co. can supply
you.

FAMOUS PICTURE
| CASE AFFIRMED
krebiII VS.. HenkIe Comes Back From
Its Third Trip to the
Iowa Supreme
Court.
IS AN INTERESTING CASE
Suit Grew Out Of Possession Of Fou,
Pictures Given as Premium
and Searching of
Room.
IS AN INTERESTING CASE

The famous Lee county picture
case, that of F. H. Krebill VS.. w. L..
Henkle, has made its third trip to the
! Iowa supreme court, and this time
has come back affirmed Judge Koran
heard the case by special assignment
after the hearing had been held
twice before, with Judges Henry
Bank and w. S. Withrow presiding.
Four pictures, given as premiumS,
were the basis Of the suit which mas
become as famous as the Jones coun-
ty calf case.
The case was brought by Krebill
who sued for damages for alleged
malicious suing out Of search war
rant Miss Richardson was a school
teacher who boarded in the Krebill
! home, and the pictures in question
adorned the wall of the school in Lee
county, known as the Henkle school.
A dispute arose over the pictures and
the room of Miss Richardson in the
/ Krebiii home was searched, and out
Of this act grew the suit.
Miss Richardson secured a verdict
for damages against Henkle in a
separate suit.
Tried Three Times.
The first time the case was tried
was before Judge Bank, who took
the case from the jury, finding for
defendant. The supreme court re-
versed this decision. Then Judge
Withrow heard the case, and the jury
found for Henkle, but this time the
supreme court held that there was
an error in the instructions and re-
versed the case. Judge Withrow in
the meantime had gone on the SUI
preme bench and Judge Koran was
called in for the third trial and the
jury again found for Henhe, which
this time was affirmed.
There are number Of interesting
angles In the> case. T. B. Snyder ap-
peared for Krebill, and Miss Richard
son who appeared in her suit against
Henkle later married the attorney.
Hollingsworth and Blood of Keokuk,
and r. N. Johnson of Fort Madison,
appeared for Henkle. In the second
case Washington Galland, the pioneer
who has since died, appeared. In
the third case he was brought to the
court house from the county home in
an automobile every day of the trial,
although he was not put on the
stand Henkle is now guard in the
Fort Madison prison.
The four pictures were those Of the
Rough Riders, battleships, an old
English scene and Rock of Ages.
