nation

Skin foods and face creams and
powders cannot make woman beau
tiful, because beauty lies deeper than
that-it depends on health. In most
cases the basis of health and the
cause of sickness can be traced to
the action Of the bowels.
The headache, the lassftude, the sal
low skin, and the lusterless eyes are
usually caused by constipation. An
ideal remedy for women, and one that
is especially, suited to. their delicate
organisms, Is found in DR.. CaldweH's
Syrup Pepsin, mild laxative COM
pound, pleasant to the taste and free
from opiates and narcotic drugs of
every description. Mrs. Gertrude Jor-
dan, 522 North Liberty ST., Indian
apolis, Ind, says: 1T is simply fine;
1 have never been able to find any
thing to compare with DR.. Caldwelps

Where our firm mother earth made

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. March 16.--
Thomas A, Edison, speaking before
the house committee on naval affairs
yesterday, told the solons that the SER
vice needs now q naval laboratory, IN
which STANDARDIZATION tests could be
made on parts of submarines. The
cost of such q plant, he said, would not
exceed 81 500, 900 and would more than
pay for itself in the increased rate OF
production of submarines IL would en-
able the government TO attain.
DR. L. H. Baekeland, the well-known
chemist and a member OF the naval
advisory board. appointed by Secre-
tary Daniels, sustained the conten-
tons of Mr.. Edison, and added that
such laboratory would serve the adj
citional purpose OF enabling the gov
eminent to extract the nitrogen from
the atmosphere as is being done In
Germany and elsewhere. The nitrates
so obtained could. he pointed out, be
used for the manufacture OF high ex.
blosives. The German process, he
said, is well known In this country.

Current Topic

When a feminine reader of the Star
Bulletin, signing herself for publica.
tion Miss II. K. T." came out with a
warm tribute to the soldier on Oahu,
she not only contributed an interest
ing article to the current discussion
started by the Chamber of Commerce
query, but earned the eloquent graft
tude of the men of the service.
From Fort Shafter, from Fort Ru-
ger, from De Russy, KaInehameha and
Pearl Harbor, and from Schofield Bar
racks they are writing to the Star
Bulletin to express their appreciation
of miss H. X. T.'s" words.

Sir: Will you please publish the
following for Miss H. K. T. as compli-

Dear Miss II. X. T.: We are all

Eugenio de Folco, successful tenor

drew L. Benson, who came with the
company as chorus man, was promoted
to the post of secretary to de Folco

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: have read the little piece in
the paper and thought lot of it, and
what the lad from the End Infantry
says is true enough, but you soldiers
fun you want You can go to the
shows down town and so on, but us
poor fellers out here can only eat
red dust and go to slow little movie
show at night, and when that is over
60 to bed, and the next thing we hear
is: Keep quiet there, you fellers;
put those lights out" So what kind
of sport can We have, any way? Just
like this, if we had gymnasium we
could have basketball and all other
kinds of sport, and we were thinking
of getting an indoor baseball team and
have big time OF it every night. All
the fun we get out here at Schofield
is to get up and go out to drill for twJ
or more hours in the sun or rain;
come back and clean the quadruped
horses and then it is just about noon.
After chow we can play ball, but il
it is liquid sunshine as they call 1t, we
are sure pau; nothing at all to do.
This sure is some wilderness out at

kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no
