LEAHI Home IS
facing DANGER
OF A Deficit

Leahi Home has accomplished much
good work this year, but it faces a
deficit in its budget. This statement
was made this morning by DR.. A. n.
Sinclair, superintendent of the insti-
tuition. The doctor is hopeful, howev-
er, that enough funds will be realized
by the anti-tuberculosis seal selling
campaign, which will be conducted
by the Hawaii boy scouts Saturday to
materially reduce the shortage in the
LealIi funds.
Although we speak of 'arresting
tuberculosis instead of curing it, the
two terms are practically the same
says the doctor. and many cases have
been arrested in the last year. We
have about 80 tuberculosis patients

COUNTRY STRATEGY

The young lady from town was
spending a weekend in the country
and she discoursed glowingly to the
buxom landlady of the rustic inn on
the delight that real country butter
and real new laid eggs gave a jaded
LOndoner.
Her faith in country produce was
destined to be rudely shaken, how
ever, for, on coming down to break
fast next morning she was greatly
shocked to overhear the good land
lady say to her spouse:
'"The lady from Lannon's mighty
keen on fresh eggs, John. Run and
get half a dozen from the grocer's
while 90 in the yard and cackle."

DR.. FISK TO STAY
Washburn Trustees Decline to Accept
His Resignation.

Dr. Fisks SEVENTEEN birthday has
come and gone but his esignation
from Washburn college with which he
has been identified for sixteen years,
to have taken effect on his anniver-
sary. has not been accepted by the
trustees. At a meeting of the board
it was unanimously voted by the board
to decline his resignation. He had
asked to be retired on his SEVENTEEN
birthday, April 10. 1916.
Fisk is one of the most popular men
Washburn has ever had. His depart
ment of sociology is the best attended
of any collegiate department of study.
At the present time there are over 200
students taking sociological courses.
For sixteen years he has consented to
work for the college for pittance sal
airy. devoting his life TO its upbuilding.
His written resignation detailing the
growth of his department makes it
clear why the board of trustees are
unwilling to let him go.
Today DIR. Fisk expressed himself
as happy that the board thought so
highly of his services and said that he
had about made up his mind to stay.
His chief objection to continued serv-
ice is the fact that his eyes have been
troubling him, but he thinks that the
trouble will not prevent his under
taking q part OF the classes of the de-
partment. 1t is likely, however, that
certain changes and adjustments, to
make his work easier. will be made.

DEBATE ON CHANGES
Difference in Meaning of Words in
Methodist Ritual.

Saratoga Springs, May e.-Debate
was resumed today by delegates to
the general conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church on proposed
changes in the ritual of the church
which have been submitted by special
commission proposed four years ago
Discussion of the revision indicated
that some opposition existed over the
substitution of modern language for
the terms used by John Wesley, who
wrote the form of service when he or
ganiZed the Methodist church in 1879
This opposition is based largely on
the use of the American revised ver-
sion of the Bible instead of the au-
thorized version in parts of the ritual
where Scriptural selections are re-
CURED Those who have been in
charge of the revision assert that
many of the so-called archai cterms

AT KANSAS
Well known Georgia Lawyer
RidicuIes Our CensOrs.
Moving Picture Control Makes
State Silly, He Says.

Kansas motion picture censors are
helping to make the state ridiculous
in the eyes of the nation, according
to William B. Burch. a Macon, Ga,
clared that the care which the movie
censors exercise over the morals and
passions of Kansas people is enough
to make the world laugh.
Wide publicity has recently been
given the action of the state movie
censors who followed instructions laid
down by W. D. Ross, state superinten-
dent and director of the censorship.
That the action of the censors has
tended to make the state ridiculous in
the eyes of the outside world is the
opinion of the Georgia lawyer. He de-
clared that over-zealous politicians in

AT KAISER'S CALL
Prince Won BueIOW RuSheS to
Headquarters of Army.
He May Again Be Made the
Imperial Chancellor.

New York. May 9.-Prince Bern
hard Won Buelow. the former imperial
German chancellor, again looms large
ION the political horizon of Europe.
The only man living who has ever
dared to extort from his imperial mas
ster a pledge of greater discretion in
the discussion and conduct of the Ger
man empires affairs, is now on his
way to the great general army head
quarters in the field, in response to a
hurry call from the kaiser who has
hidden him, it is reported, to a per-
senal Interview "of extreme impor-
lance"
Three theories were advanced in
well informed circles here with refer
ence to the possible purpose of the
conference between the kaiser and the
hero of the famous kaiser crisis of
1908. They are:
First. that Prince Won Buelow is to
take over the governmental reins of
the empire by resuming his former Of
flee OF imperial chancellor, succeed
ing Dr. Won BcthmannHollw
To Seek Peace.
Second, that he is to be entrusted
with the important mission of bring
ing about an opening for peace nego-
tiations with the allies, probably
through a medium of neutral power.
Third, that he is to be sent to the
United States on a special mission
from the kaiser to President Wilson.
In connection with the latter theory
it is suggested also that the prince
may go to Washington as German am
bassador to the United States, it being
pointed out in some quarters that
Count Won Bernstorff's position had
become somewhat embarrassing dur
ing the long course of the submarine

ON TRAINS
Chicago Cannot Accommodate
Convention Crowds.
Thousand Women Will Have to
Camp in Park.

Chicago, May 9.-Owing to the
holding here at one time in June of
the Republican, Progressive and wom-
ems party conventions with their
thousands of delegates, Chicago's
housing facilities will be taxed to the
utmost Most of the delegates to the
first two named conventions have
been provided for by the local com
rnitteemen, but the women delegates,
their visitors and the ones who will
take part in the suffrage parade and
demonstration, are finding it nearly
impossible to secure the number of
rooms required. Mrs. George Bass,
chairman of hospitality for the suf-
frage parade announced yesterday
that plans had been completed for the
housing of all the women who may
wish to come but various kinds of
sleeping places at widely scattered To-
cations will have to be used.
The plan of taking 5000 women to
Milwaukee for the night after the
parade has been abandoned because
the railroads were unable to give a
tiating track space where the special
trains from the east might stand so
the women can sleep in the Pullmans.
There was practically no rooms avail
able for the women in the down town
hotels, but all available space in the
outlying hotels has been reserved.
Camp in Grant Park.
I'VE shall probably have a camp in
outer Grant Park which will house
1000 women" Mrs Bass said and p
500 more will be able to get rooms in
Chicago hotels. The women from this
state and from Indiana and Wisconsin
and Michigan will be asked to return
home the night of the parade. It has
been almost an impossibility to find
places for the hundreds of women
who are coming from further east
south and west"
The special suffrage hat which will
be worn in the parade will be placed
on sale in 100 millinery shops on Nav

YOU'LL GET RID OF
BLACKHEADS SURE

There is one simple. safe and sure
way that never fails to get rid of
blackheads and that Is to dissolve
them. ga HtH sS
To do this get about two oi1nces of
plain powdered neroxin from any
drug store-sprinkle a little on a hot,
wet sponge-rub over the .biackhesds
briskly-wash the parts and you will
be surprised how the blackheads have
disappeared. Big blackheads, little
blackheads. no matter where they are.
simply dissolve and disappear. leaving
the parts without any mark whatever.
Blackheads are simply mixture of
dust and dirt and secretions from the
body that form in the pores of the
skin. Punching and squeezing only
cause irritation. make large pores, and
do not get the blackheads out after
they become hard. The powdered ner-
oxin and the water simply dissolve the
blackheads so they wash right out,
leaving the pores free and clean and
in their natural condition. Anyone
troubled with these unsightly blem-
ishes should certainly try this simple
method. -Advertisement.
